Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:11 - But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:19 - So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:20 - Now after these things it was told to Abraham, “Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:1 - Sarah lived 127 years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:2 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:5 - The Hittites answered Abraham,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:6 - “Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God[fn] 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:7 - Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:10 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:14 - Ephron answered Abraham,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:15 - “My lord, listen to me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels[fn] of silver, what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:5 - 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?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:6 - Abraham said to him, “See to it that you do not take my son back there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:8 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:13 - Behold, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:15 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:16 - The young woman was very attractive in appearance, a maiden[fn] whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:17 - Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:18 - She said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly let down her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:21 - The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the LORD had prospered his journey or not.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:22 - When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half shekel,[fn] and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:29 - Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban. Laban ran out toward the man, to the spring.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:31 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:32 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:35 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:39 - I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:45 - “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.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:47 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:49 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:50 - Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “The thing has come from the LORD; we cannot speak to you bad or good.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:52 - When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:55 - Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:56 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:57 - They said, “Let us call the young woman and ask her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:58 - And they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:61 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:62 - Now Isaac had returned from Beer-lahai-roi and was dwelling in the Negeb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:65 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:67 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:1 - Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:2 - She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:3 - Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:4 - The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:5 - Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:7 - These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, 175 years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:11 - After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:12 - These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:18 - They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled[fn] over against all his kinsmen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:20 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:21 - And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:22 - The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”[fn] So she went to inquire of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:25 - The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:26 - Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob.[fn] Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:27 - When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:28 - Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:29 - Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:31 - Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:32 - Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:33 - Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:34 - Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:1 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:2 - And the LORD appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:7 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:8 - When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac laughing with[fn] Rebekah his wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:9 - 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.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:10 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:11 - So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:12 - And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:14 - He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:16 - And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:21 - Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so he called its name Sitnah.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:22 - And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth,[fn] saying, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:23 - From there he went up to Beersheba.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:25 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:27 - Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:32 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:34 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:1 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:5 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:6 - Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “I heard your father speak to your brother Esau,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:11 - But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:13 - His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:14 - So he went and took them and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared delicious food, such as his father loved.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:18 - So he went in to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:20 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:21 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:22 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:24 - He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:29 - 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!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:32 - His father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:33 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:34 - 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!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:35 - But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your blessing.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:37 - 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?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:38 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:39 - Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, away from[fn] the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be,
and away from[fn] the dew of heaven on high.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:40 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:41 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:42 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:46 - Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I loathe my life because of the Hittite women.[fn] 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?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:1 - Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:3 - God Almighty[fn] bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:5 - Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. And he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:6 - 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,”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:13 - And behold, the LORD stood above it[fn] 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:16 - Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:1 - Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:2 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:4 - Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where do you come from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:5 - He said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:6 - He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:8 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:10 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:13 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:15 - Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:16 - Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:17 - Leah's eyes were weak,[fn] but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:18 - Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:19 - Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:21 - Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:22 - So Laban gathered together all the people of the place and made a feast.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:24 - (Laban gave[fn] his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:25 - 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?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:26 - Laban said, “It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:28 - Jacob did so, and completed her week. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:29 - (Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:30 - So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:31 - When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:32 - And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben,[fn] for she said, “Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:33 - 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.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:1 - When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I shall die!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:2 - 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?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:3 - Then she said, “Here is my servant Bilhah; go in to her, so that she may give birth on my behalf,[fn] that even I may have children[fn] through her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:4 - So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:9 - When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her servant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:10 - Then Leah's servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:15 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:16 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:22 - Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:23 - She conceived and bore a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:25 - As soon as Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own home and country.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:27 - But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your sight, I have learned by divination that[fn] the LORD has blessed me because of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:29 - Jacob said to him, “You yourself know how I have served you, and how your livestock has fared with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:31 - 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:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:34 - Laban said, “Good! Let it be as you have said.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:36 - And he set a distance of three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the rest of Laban's flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:37 - Then Jacob took fresh sticks of poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the sticks.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:40 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:41 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:42 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:1 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:3 - Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:4 - So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:5 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:6 - You know that I have served your father with all my strength,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:7 - yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. But God did not permit him to harm me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:8 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:11 - Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,' and I said, ‘Here I am!'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:17 - So Jacob arose and set his sons and his wives on camels.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:19 - Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father's household gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:20 - And Jacob tricked[fn] Laban the Aramean, by not telling him that he intended to flee.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:22 - When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:24 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:26 - And Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have tricked me and driven away my daughters like captives of the sword?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:28 - And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? Now you have done foolishly.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:29 - It is in my power to do you harm. But the God of your[fn] father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:31 - Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:32 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:33 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:34 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:35 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:36 - 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?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:43 - 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?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:44 - Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I. And let it be a witness between you and me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:45 - So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:46 - And Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:47 - Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha,[fn] but Jacob called it Galeed.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:48 - Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and me today.” Therefore he named it Galeed,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:55 - [fn] Early in the morning Laban arose and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned home.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:2 - And when Jacob saw them he said, “This is God's camp!” So he called the name of that place Mahanaim.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:3 - And Jacob sent[fn] messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:7 - Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two camps,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:9 - And Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your kindred, that I may do you good,'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:10 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:12 - But you said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:16 - These he handed over to his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass on ahead of me and put a space between drove and drove.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So the present passed on ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:22 - The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children,[fn] and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:24 - And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:25 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:26 - Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:27 - And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:28 - Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,[fn] for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:29 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:31 - The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:1 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:3 - He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:5 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:8 - Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company[fn] that I met?” Jacob answered, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:9 - But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:10 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:13 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:14 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:15 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:1 - Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the women of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:4 - So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this girl for my wife.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:6 - And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:7 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:11 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:13 - The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:14 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:17 - But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:20 - So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:21 - “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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:27 - The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:30 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:31 - But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:2 - So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you and purify yourselves and change your garments.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:6 - And Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:8 - And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel. So he called its name Allon-bacuth.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:9 - God appeared[fn] to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:11 - And God said to him, “I am God Almighty:[fn] be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:13 - Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance[fn] from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:17 - And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for you have another son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni;[fn] but his father called him Benjamin.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:19 - So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem),
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:22 - While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine. And Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:24 - The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:25 - The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:26 - The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:28 - Now the days of Isaac were 180 years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:1 - These are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:2 - Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter[fn] of Zibeon the Hivite,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:4 - And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:6 - Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his livestock, all his beasts, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan. He went into a land away from his brother Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:8 - So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. (Esau is Edom.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:9 - These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:11 - The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:12 - (Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son; she bore Amalek to Eliphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, Esau's wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:13 - These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau's wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:14 - These are the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: she bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:18 - These are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau's wife: the chiefs Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the chiefs born of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:20 - These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:22 - The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:23 - These are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:25 - These are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:26 - These are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:27 - These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:28 - These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:33 - Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:34 - Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:35 - Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place, the name of his city being Avith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:36 - Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:37 - Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates[fn] reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:38 - Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:39 - Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place, the name of his city being Pau; his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:1 - Jacob lived in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:2 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:3 - 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.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:4 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:5 - Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:7 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:8 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:9 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:11 - And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:12 - Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:13 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:14 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:15 - And a man found him wandering in the fields. And the man asked him, “What are you seeking?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:16 - “I am seeking my brothers,” he said. “Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - And the man said, “They have gone away, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.'” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:18 - They saw him from afar, and before he came near to them they conspired against him to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:19 - They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:21 - But when Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying, “Let us not take his life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:23 - So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the robe of many colors that he wore.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:24 - And they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:25 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:26 - Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:27 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he tore his clothes
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:30 - and returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is gone, and I, where shall I go?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:31 - Then they took Joseph's robe and slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:34 - Then Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:35 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:36 - Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers and turned aside to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:5 - Yet again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah. Judah[fn] was in Chezib when she bore him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:7 - But Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD put him to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:8 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:9 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:10 - And what he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and he put him to death also.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:12 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:14 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:16 - 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?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:17 - 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—”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:20 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:21 - And he asked the men of the place, “Where is the cult prostitute[fn] who was at Enaim at the roadside?” And they said, “No cult prostitute has been here.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:23 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:24 - About three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has been immoral.[fn] Moreover, she is pregnant by immorality.”[fn] And Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:25 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:26 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:27 - When the time of her labor came, there were twins in her womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:29 - 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.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:1 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD caused all that he did to succeed in his hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:4 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:10 - And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:18 - But as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment beside me and fled out of the house.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:19 - As soon as his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, “This is the way your servant treated me,” his anger was kindled.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:1 - Some time after this, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:4 - The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:6 - When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:8 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:10 - and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:17 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:18 - And Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:20 - On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:22 - But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:23 - Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:1 - After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:3 - And behold, seven other cows, ugly and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:4 - And the ugly, thin cows ate up the seven attractive, plump cows. And Pharaoh awoke.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:6 - And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:7 - And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump, full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:8 - So in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:12 - A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:13 - And as he interpreted to us, so it came about. I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:14 - Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:15 - And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:16 - Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:17 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:21 - but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:23 - Seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:28 - It is as I told Pharaoh; God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:30 - but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:32 - And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:37 - This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:39 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:41 - And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:46 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:50 - Before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph. Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore them to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:51 - 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.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:52 - The name of the second he called Ephraim, “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:53 - The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:54 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:55 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:56 - So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses[fn] and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - When Jacob learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:3 - So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:4 - But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might happen to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:5 - Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:6 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:7 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:8 - And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:10 - They said to him, “No, my lord, your servants have come to buy food.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:12 - He said to them, “No, it is the nakedness of the land that you have come to see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:13 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:14 - But Joseph said to them, “It is as I said to you. You are spies.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:16 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:18 - On the third day Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, for I fear God:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:19 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:20 - and bring your youngest brother to me. So your words will be verified, and you shall not die.” And they did so.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:22 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:23 - They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:24 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:25 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:27 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:29 - When they came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:31 - But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we have never been spies.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:32 - 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.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:33 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:35 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:36 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:37 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:1 - Now the famine was severe in the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:2 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:3 - But Judah said to him, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:5 - 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.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:6 - Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:7 - 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'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:8 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:9 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:11 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:14 - May God Almighty[fn] 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:15 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:17 - The man did as Joseph told him and brought the men to Joseph's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:18 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:19 - So they went up to the steward of Joseph's house and spoke with him at the door of the house,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:23 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:25 - they prepared the present for Joseph's coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:26 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:27 - And he inquired about their welfare and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:28 - They said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:29 - 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!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:30 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:33 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:34 - 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[fn] with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:2 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:4 - 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?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:5 - Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he practices divination? You have done evil in doing this.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:6 - When he overtook them, he spoke to them these words.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:7 - They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:9 - Whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be my lord's servants.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:10 - He said, “Let it be as you say: he who is found with it shall be my servant, and the rest of you shall be innocent.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:12 - And he searched, beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:14 - When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They fell before him to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:15 - Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:16 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:17 - But he said, “Far be it from me that I should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my servant. But as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:18 - Then Judah went up to him and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:20 - And we said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a young brother, the child of his old age. His brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother's children, and his father loves him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:21 - Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:22 - We said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:23 - Then you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall not see my face again.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:24 - “When we went back to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:25 - And when our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food,'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:26 - we said, ‘We cannot go down. If our youngest brother goes with us, then we will go down. For we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:27 - Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:30 - “Now therefore, as soon as I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us, then, as his life is bound up in the boy's life,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:31 - as soon as he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die, and your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:33 - Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the boy as a servant to my lord, and let the boy go back with his brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:2 - And he wept aloud, so that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:3 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:4 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:16 - When the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, “Joseph's brothers have come,” it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:17 - And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:19 - And you, Joseph, are commanded to say, ‘Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:21 - The sons of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:22 - To each and all of them he gave a change of clothes, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels[fn] of silver and five changes of clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:24 - Then he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:27 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:28 - And Israel said, “It is enough; Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:1 - So Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:2 - And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:5 - Then Jacob set out from Beersheba. The sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:8 - Now these are the names of the descendants of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons. Reuben, Jacob's firstborn,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:9 - and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:10 - The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:11 - The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:12 - The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan); and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:13 - The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Yob, and Shimron.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:14 - The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:16 - The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:17 - The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, with Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:19 - The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:20 - And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of On, bore to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:21 - And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:23 - The son[fn] of Dan: Hushim.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:26 - All the persons belonging to Jacob who came into Egypt, who were his own descendants, not including Jacob's sons' wives, were sixty-six persons in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:27 - And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:28 - He had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to show the way before him in Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:29 - Then Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen. He presented himself to him and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:31 - Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:32 - And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:1 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:2 - And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:3 - Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:4 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:5 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:7 - Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and stood him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:8 - And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days of the years of your life?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:13 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:14 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:15 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:16 - And Joseph answered, “Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:17 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:18 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:23 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:24 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:27 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:28 - And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:29 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:30 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:1 - After this, Joseph was told, “Behold, your father is ill.” So he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:2 - And it was told to Jacob, “Your son Joseph has come to you.” Then Israel summoned his strength and sat up in bed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:6 - And the children that you fathered after them shall be yours. They shall be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:7 - As for me, when I came from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance[fn] to go to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:8 - When Israel saw Joseph's sons, he said, “Who are these?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:9 - Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” And he said, “Bring them to me, please, that I may bless them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:10 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:13 - And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:14 - 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).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:17 - When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he took his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:18 - And Joseph said to his father, “Not this way, my father; since this one is the firstborn, put your right hand on his head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:21 - Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you again to the land of your fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:22 - Moreover, I have given to you rather than to your brothers one mountain slope[fn] that I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:1 - Then Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in days to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:19 - “Raiders shall raid Gad,[fn]
but he shall raid at their heels.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:4 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:15 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:20 - As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people[fn] should be kept alive, as they are today.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:24 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:5 - All the descendants of Jacob were seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:6 - Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:7 - But the people of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:8 - Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:9 - And he said to his people, “Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:12 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:16 - “When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:17 - But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:18 - So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the male children live?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:19 - The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:20 - So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:22 - Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews[fn] you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:2 - The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:3 - When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes[fn] and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:5 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:6 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:8 - And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child's mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:9 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:10 - 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.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:11 - 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.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:12 - He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:13 - 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?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:14 - 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:15 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:16 - Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:17 - The shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved them, and watered their flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:18 - When they came home to their father Reuel, he said, “How is it that you have come home so soon today?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:19 - They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds and even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:20 - He said to his daughters, “Then where is he? Why have you left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:21 - And Moses was content to dwell with the man, and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:22 - She gave birth to a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner[fn] in a foreign land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:23 - During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:10 - Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:1 - The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:4 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:10 - And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:27 - 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.

and all my calamity laid in the balances!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:5 - Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass,
or the ox low over his fodder?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:6 - Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt,
or is there any taste in the juice of the mallow?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:9 - that it would please God to crush me,
that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:13 - Have I any help in me,
when resource is driven from me?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:14 - “He who withholds[fn] kindness from a friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:18 - The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into the waste and perish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:21 - For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:24 - “Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:27 - You would even cast lots over the fatherless,
and bargain over your friend.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:28 - “But now, be pleased to look at me,
for I will not lie to your face.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:3 - so I am allotted months of emptiness,
and nights of misery are apportioned to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:4 - When I lie down I say, ‘When shall I arise?'
But the night is long,
and I am full of tossing till the dawn.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:5 - My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt;
my skin hardens, then breaks out afresh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:6 - My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle
and come to their end without hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:13 - When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
my couch will ease my complaint,'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:15 - so that I would choose strangling
and death rather than my bones.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:20 - If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind?
Why have you made me your mark?
Why have I become a burden to you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:21 - Why do you not pardon my transgression
and take away my iniquity?
For now I shall lie in the earth;
you will seek me, but I shall not be.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:5 - If you will seek God
and plead with the Almighty for mercy,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:7 - And though your beginning was small,
your latter days will be very great.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:8 - “For inquire, please, of bygone ages,
and consider what the fathers have searched out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:14 - His confidence is severed,
and his trust is a spider's web.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:15 - He leans against his house, but it does not stand;
he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:17 - His roots entwine the stone heap;
he looks upon a house of stones.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:19 - Behold, this is the joy of his way,
and out of the soil others will spring.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:20 - “Behold, God will not reject a blameless man,
nor take the hand of evildoers.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:21 - He will yet fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with shouting.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:22 - Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,
and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:6 - who shakes the earth out of its place,
and its pillars tremble;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:7 - who commands the sun, and it does not rise;
who seals up the stars;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:24 - The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
he covers the faces of its judges—
if it is not he, who then is it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:25 - “My days are swifter than a runner;
they flee away; they see no good.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:34 - Let him take his rod away from me,
and let not dread of him terrify me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:3 - Does it seem good to you to oppress,
to despise the work of your hands
and favor the designs of the wicked?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:9 - Remember that you have made me like clay;
and will you return me to the dust?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:11 - You clothed me with skin and flesh,
and knit me together with bones and sinews.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:12 - You have granted me life and steadfast love,
and your care has preserved my spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:14 - If I sin, you watch me
and do not acquit me of my iniquity.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:16 - And were my head lifted up,[fn] you would hunt me like a lion
and again work wonders against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:17 - You renew your witnesses against me
and increase your vexation toward me;
you bring fresh troops against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:1 - Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:8 - It is higher than heaven[fn]—what can you do?
Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:10 - If he passes through and imprisons
and summons the court, who can turn him back?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:11 - For he knows worthless men;
when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:12 - But a stupid man will get understanding
when a wild donkey's colt is born a man!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:13 - “If you prepare your heart,
you will stretch out your hands toward him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:14 - If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:15 - Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish;
you will be secure and will not fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:17 - And your life will be brighter than the noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:18 - And you will feel secure, because there is hope;
you will look around and take your rest in security.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:19 - You will lie down, and none will make you afraid;
many will court your favor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:20 - But the eyes of the wicked will fail;
all way of escape will be lost to them,
and their hope is to breathe their last.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:6 - The tents of robbers are at peace,
and those who provoke God are secure,
who bring their god in their hand.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:7 - “But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:8 - or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you;[fn]
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:11 - Does not the ear test words
as the palate tastes food?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:12 - Wisdom is with the aged,
and understanding in length of days.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:15 - If he withholds the waters, they dry up;
if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:17 - He leads counselors away stripped,
and judges he makes fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:19 - He leads priests away stripped
and overthrows the mighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:20 - He deprives of speech those who are trusted
and takes away the discernment of the elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:21 - He pours contempt on princes
and loosens the belt of the strong.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:22 - He uncovers the deeps out of darkness
and brings deep darkness to light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:24 - He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth
and makes them wander in a trackless waste.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:25 - They grope in the dark without light,
and he makes them stagger like a drunken man.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:3 - But I would speak to the Almighty,
and I desire to argue my case with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:5 - Oh that you would keep silent,
and it would be your wisdom!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:6 - Hear now my argument
and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:7 - Will you speak falsely for God
and speak deceitfully for him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:8 - Will you show partiality toward him?
Will you plead the case for God?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:10 - He will surely rebuke you
if in secret you show partiality.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:11 - Will not his majesty terrify you,
and the dread of him fall upon you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:12 - Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:27 - You put my feet in the stocks
and watch all my paths;
you set a limit for[fn] the soles of my feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:2 - He comes out like a flower and withers;
he flees like a shadow and continues not.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:5 - Since his days are determined,
and the number of his months is with you,
and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:8 - Though its root grow old in the earth,
and its stump die in the soil,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:9 - yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put out branches like a young plant.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:10 - But a man dies and is laid low;
man breathes his last, and where is he?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:11 - As waters fail from a lake
and a river wastes away and dries up,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:12 - so a man lies down and rises not again;
till the heavens are no more he will not awake
or be roused out of his sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:15 - You would call, and I would answer you;
you would long for the work of your hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:21 - His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;
they are brought low, and he perceives it not.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:22 - He feels only the pain of his own body,
and he mourns only for himself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:4 - But you are doing away with the fear of God[fn]
and hindering meditation before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:6 - Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;
your own lips testify against you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:8 - Have you listened in the council of God?
And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:13 - that you turn your spirit against God
and bring such words out of your mouth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:15 - Behold, God[fn] puts no trust in his holy ones,
and the heavens are not pure in his sight;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:16 - how much less one who is abominable and corrupt,
a man who drinks injustice like water!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:20 - The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:21 - Dreadful sounds are in his ears;
in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:23 - He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?'
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:24 - distress and anguish terrify him;
they prevail against him, like a king ready for battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:25 - Because he has stretched out his hand against God
and defies the Almighty,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:26 - running stubbornly against him
with a thickly bossed shield;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:28 - and has lived in desolate cities,
in houses that none should inhabit,
which were ready to become heaps of ruins;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:30 - he will not depart from darkness;
the flame will dry up his shoots,
and by the breath of his mouth he will depart.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:33 - He will shake off his unripe grape like the vine,
and cast off his blossom like the olive tree.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:34 - For the company of the godless is barren,
and fire consumes the tents of bribery.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:35 - They conceive trouble and give birth to evil,
and their womb prepares deceit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:4 - I also could speak as you do,
if you were in my place;
I could join words together against you
and shake my head at you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:5 - I could strengthen you with my mouth,
and the solace of my lips would assuage your pain.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:6 - “If I speak, my pain is not assuaged,
and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:7 - Surely now God has worn me out;
he has[fn] made desolate all my company.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:10 - Men have gaped at me with their mouth;
they have struck me insolently on the cheek;
they mass themselves together against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:11 - God gives me up to the ungodly
and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:15 - I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin
and have laid my strength in the dust.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:16 - My face is red with weeping,
and on my eyelids is deep darkness,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:17 - although there is no violence in my hands,
and my prayer is pure.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:19 - Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven,
and he who testifies for me is on high.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:20 - My friends scorn me;
my eye pours out tears to God,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:21 - that he would argue the case of a man with God,
as[fn] a son of man does with his neighbor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:22 - For when a few years have come
I shall go the way from which I shall not return.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:1 - “My spirit is broken; my days are extinct;
the graveyard is ready for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:6 - “He has made me a byword of the peoples,
and I am one before whom men spit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:8 - The upright are appalled at this,
and the innocent stirs himself up against the godless.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:9 - Yet the righteous holds to his way,
and he who has clean hands grows stronger and stronger.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:10 - But you, come on again, all of you,
and I shall not find a wise man among you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:11 - My days are past; my plans are broken off,
the desires of my heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:13 - If I hope for Sheol as my house,
if I make my bed in darkness,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:6 - The light is dark in his tent,
and his lamp above him is put out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:7 - His strong steps are shortened,
and his own schemes throw him down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:8 - For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
and he walks on its mesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:9 - A trap seizes him by the heel;
a snare lays hold of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:11 - Terrors frighten him on every side,
and chase him at his heels.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:12 - His strength is famished,
and calamity is ready for his stumbling.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:13 - It consumes the parts of his skin;
the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:14 - He is torn from the tent in which he trusted
and is brought to the king of terrors.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:20 - They of the west are appalled at his day,
and horror seizes them of the east.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:21 - Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous,
such is the place of him who knows not God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:4 - And even if it be true that I have erred,
my error remains with myself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:5 - If indeed you magnify yourselves against me
and make my disgrace an argument against me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:6 - know then that God has put me in the wrong
and closed his net about me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:9 - He has stripped from me my glory
and taken the crown from my head.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:10 - He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone,
and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:12 - His troops come on together;
they have cast up their siege ramp[fn] against me
and encamp around my tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:13 - “He has put my brothers far from me,
and those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:17 - My breath is strange to my wife,
and I am a stench to the children of my own mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:18 - Even young children despise me;
when I rise they talk against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:20 - My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh,
and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:22 - Why do you, like God, pursue me?
Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:23 - “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:28 - If you say, ‘How we will pursue him!'
and, ‘The root of the matter is found in him,'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:1 - Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:5 - that the exulting of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:6 - Though his height mount up to the heavens,
and his head reach to the clouds,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:7 - he will perish forever like his own dung;
those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:8 - He will fly away like a dream and not be found;
he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:10 - His children will seek the favor of the poor,
and his hands will give back his wealth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:16 - He will suck the poison of cobras;
the tongue of a viper will kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:19 - For he has crushed and abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house that he did not build.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:22 - In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress;
the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:25 - It is drawn forth and comes out of his body;
the glittering point comes out of his gallbladder;
terrors come upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:26 - Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
a fire not fanned will devour him;
what is left in his tent will be consumed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:27 - The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:3 - Bear with me, and I will speak,
and after I have spoken, mock on.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:7 - Why do the wicked live,
reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:8 - Their offspring are established in their presence,
and their descendants before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:9 - Their houses are safe from fear,
and no rod of God is upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:10 - Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and does not miscarry.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:11 - They send out their little boys like a flock,
and their children dance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:13 - They spend their days in prosperity,
and in peace they go down to Sheol.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:14 - They say to God, ‘Depart from us!
We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:16 - Behold, is not their prosperity in their hand?
The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:17 - “How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out?
That their calamity comes upon them?
That God[fn] distributes pains in his anger?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:18 - That they are like straw before the wind,
and like chaff that the storm carries away?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:20 - Let their own eyes see their destruction,
and let them drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:22 - Will any teach God knowledge,
seeing that he judges those who are on high?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:23 - One dies in his full vigor,
being wholly at ease and secure,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:24 - his pails[fn] full of milk
and the marrow of his bones moist.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:25 - Another dies in bitterness of soul,
never having tasted of prosperity.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:26 - They lie down alike in the dust,
and the worms cover them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:34 - How then will you comfort me with empty nothings?
There is nothing left of your answers but falsehood.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:6 - For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing
and stripped the naked of their clothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:8 - The man with power possessed the land,
and the favored man lived in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:9 - You have sent widows away empty,
and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:11 - or darkness, so that you cannot see,
and a flood of water covers you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:12 - “Is not God high in the heavens?
See the highest stars, how lofty they are!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:18 - Yet he filled their houses with good things—
but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:19 - The righteous see it and are glad;
the innocent one mocks at them,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:22 - Receive instruction from his mouth,
and lay up his words in your heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:23 - If you return to the Almighty you will be built up;
if you remove injustice far from your tents,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:25 - then the Almighty will be your gold
and your precious silver.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:28 - You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:4 - I would lay my case before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:5 - I would know what he would answer me
and understand what he would say to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:7 - There an upright man could argue with him,
and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:8 - “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there,
and backward, but I do not perceive him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:11 - My foot has held fast to his steps;
I have kept his way and have not turned aside.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:12 - I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:13 - But he is unchangeable,[fn] and who can turn him back?
What he desires, that he does.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:15 - Therefore I am terrified at his presence;
when I consider, I am in dread of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:16 - God has made my heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:1 - “Why are not times of judgment kept by the Almighty,
and why do those who know him never see his days?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:2 - Some move landmarks;
they seize flocks and pasture them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:5 - Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
the poor[fn] go out to their toil, seeking game;
the wasteland yields food for their children.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:6 - They gather their[fn] fodder in the field,
and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:7 - They lie all night naked, without clothing,
and have no covering in the cold.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:9 - (There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast,
and they take a pledge against the poor.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:10 - They go about naked, without clothing;
hungry, they carry the sheaves;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:11 - among the olive rows of the wicked[fn] they make oil;
they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:12 - From out of the city the dying[fn] groan,
and the soul of the wounded cries for help;
yet God charges no one with wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:13 - “There are those who rebel against the light,
who are not acquainted with its ways,
and do not stay in its paths.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:14 - The murderer rises before it is light,
that he may kill the poor and needy,
and in the night he is like a thief.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:19 - Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;
so does Sheol those who have sinned.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:20 - The womb forgets them;
the worm finds them sweet;
they are no longer remembered,
so wickedness is broken like a tree.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:22 - Yet God[fn] prolongs the life of the mighty by his power;
they rise up when they despair of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:24 - They are exalted a little while, and then are gone;
they are brought low and gathered up like all others;
they are cut off like the heads of grain.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:25 - If it is not so, who will prove me a liar
and show that there is nothing in what I say?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:3 - Is there any number to his armies?
Upon whom does his light not arise?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:5 - Behold, even the moon is not bright,
and the stars are not pure in his eyes;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:4 - With whose help have you uttered words,
and whose breath has come out from you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:12 - By his power he stilled the sea;
by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:13 - By his wind the heavens were made fair;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:14 - Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways,
and how small a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:1 - And Job again took up his discourse, and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:3 - as long as my breath is in me,
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:6 - I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;
my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:7 - “Let my enemy be as the wicked,
and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:13 - “This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:14 - If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword,
and his descendants have not enough bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:15 - Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
and his widows do not weep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:16 - Though he heap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:17 - he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and the innocent will divide the silver.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:18 - He builds his house like a moth's,
like a booth that a watchman makes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:20 - Terrors overtake him like a flood;
in the night a whirlwind carries him off.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:1 - “Surely there is a mine for silver,
and a place for gold that they refine.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:2 - Iron is taken out of the earth,
and copper is smelted from the ore.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:4 - He opens shafts in a valley away from where anyone lives;
they are forgotten by travelers;
they hang in the air, far away from mankind; they swing to and fro.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:9 - “Man puts his hand to the flinty rock
and overturns mountains by the roots.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:10 - He cuts out channels in the rocks,
and his eye sees every precious thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:11 - He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle,
and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:12 - “But where shall wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:20 - “From where, then, does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:22 - Abaddon and Death say,
‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:23 - “God understands the way to it,
and he knows its place.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:28 - And he said to man,
‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
and to turn away from evil is understanding.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:1 - And Job again took up his discourse, and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:6 - when my steps were washed with butter,
and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:7 - When I went out to the gate of the city,
when I prepared my seat in the square,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:8 - the young men saw me and withdrew,
and the aged rose and stood;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:9 - the princes refrained from talking
and laid their hand on their mouth;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:10 - the voice of the nobles was hushed,
and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:11 - When the ear heard, it called me blessed,
and when the eye saw, it approved,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:13 - The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me,
and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:14 - I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and a turban.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:15 - I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:17 - I broke the fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:21 - “Men listened to me and waited
and kept silence for my counsel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:22 - After I spoke they did not speak again,
and my word dropped upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:1 - “But now they laugh at me,
men who are younger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to set with the dogs of my flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:4 - they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes,
and the roots of the broom tree for their food.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:9 - “And now I have become their song;
I am a byword to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:10 - They abhor me; they keep aloof from me;
they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:17 - The night racks my bones,
and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:20 - I cry to you for help and you do not answer me;
I stand, and you only look at me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:25 - Did not I weep for him whose day was hard?
Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:26 - But when I hoped for good, evil came,
and when I waited for light, darkness came.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:28 - I go about darkened, but not by the sun;
I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:29 - I am a brother of jackals
and a companion of ostriches.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:30 - My skin turns black and falls from me,
and my bones burn with heat.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:31 - My lyre is turned to mourning,
and my pipe to the voice of those who weep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:5 - “If I have walked with falsehood
and my foot has hastened to deceit;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:6 - (Let me be weighed in a just balance,
and let God know my integrity!)
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:7 - if my step has turned aside from the way
and my heart has gone after my eyes,
and if any spot has stuck to my hands,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:8 - then let me sow, and another eat,
and let what grows for me[fn] be rooted out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:10 - then let my wife grind for another,
and let others bow down on her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:13 - “If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant,
when they brought a complaint against me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:14 - what then shall I do when God rises up?
When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:15 - Did not he who made me in the womb make him?
And did not one fashion us in the womb?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:16 - “If I have withheld anything that the poor desired,
or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:17 - or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:19 - if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
or the needy without covering,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:20 - if his body has not blessed me,[fn]
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:22 - then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:24 - “If I have made gold my trust
or called fine gold my confidence,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:25 - if I have rejoiced because my wealth was abundant
or because my hand had found much,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:26 - if I have looked at the sun[fn] when it shone,
or the moon moving in splendor,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:27 - and my heart has been secretly enticed,
and my mouth has kissed my hand,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:29 - “If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me,
or exulted when evil overtook him
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:30 - (I have not let my mouth sin
by asking for his life with a curse),
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:31 - if the men of my tent have not said,
‘Who is there that has not been filled with his meat?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:32 - (the sojourner has not lodged in the street;
I have opened my doors to the traveler),
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:33 - if I have concealed my transgressions as others do[fn]
by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:34 - because I stood in great fear of the multitude,
and the contempt of families terrified me,
so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:35 - Oh, that I had one to hear me!
(Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!)
Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:38 - “If my land has cried out against me
and its furrows have wept together,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:39 - if I have eaten its yield without payment
and made its owners breathe their last,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:40 - let thorns grow instead of wheat,
and foul weeds instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:1 - So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:2 - Then Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself rather than God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:3 - He burned with anger also at Job's three friends because they had found no answer, although they had declared Job to be in the wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:4 - Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:6 - And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said:
“I am young in years,
and you are aged;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to declare my opinion to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:7 - I said, ‘Let days speak,
and many years teach wisdom.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:8 - But it is the spirit in man,
the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:14 - He has not directed his words against me,
and I will not answer him with your speeches.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:17 - I also will answer with my share;
I also will declare my opinion.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:19 - Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent;
like new wineskins ready to burst.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:22 - For I do not know how to flatter,
else my Maker would soon take me away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:1 - “But now, hear my speech, O Job,
and listen to all my words.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:3 - My words declare the uprightness of my heart,
and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:4 - The Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:10 - Behold, he finds occasions against me,
he counts me as his enemy,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:11 - he puts my feet in the stocks
and watches all my paths.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:14 - For God speaks in one way,
and in two, though man does not perceive it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:17 - that he may turn man aside from his deed
and conceal pride from a man;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:18 - he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from perishing by the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:19 - “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
and with continual strife in his bones,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:20 - so that his life loathes bread,
and his appetite the choicest food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:22 - His soul draws near the pit,
and his life to those who bring death.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:23 - If there be for him an angel,
a mediator, one of the thousand,
to declare to man what is right for him,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:24 - and he is merciful to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
I have found a ransom;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:25 - let his flesh become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor';
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:26 - then man[fn] prays to God, and he accepts him;
he sees his face with a shout of joy,
and he restores to man his righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:1 - Then Elihu answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:6 - in spite of my right I am counted a liar;
my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:12 - Of a truth, God will not do wickedly,
and the Almighty will not pervert justice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:15 - all flesh would perish together,
and man would return to dust.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:16 - “If you have understanding, hear this;
listen to what I say.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:20 - In a moment they die;
at midnight the people are shaken and pass away,
and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:21 - “For his eyes are on the ways of a man,
and he sees all his steps.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:26 - He strikes them for their wickedness
in a place for all to see,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:27 - because they turned aside from following him
and had no regard for any of his ways,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:34 - Men of understanding will say to me,
and the wise man who hears me will say:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:35 - ‘Job speaks without knowledge;
his words are without insight.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:36 - Would that Job were tried to the end,
because he answers like wicked men.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:37 - For he adds rebellion to his sin;
he claps his hands among us
and multiplies his words against God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:1 - And Elihu answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:5 - Look at the heavens, and see;
and behold the clouds, which are higher than you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:6 - If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him?
And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:7 - If you are righteous, what do you give to him?
Or what does he receive from your hand?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:11 - who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:14 - How much less when you say that you do not see him,
that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:1 - And Elihu continued, and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:5 - “Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise any;
he is mighty in strength of understanding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:12 - But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword
and die without knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:14 - They die in youth,
and their life ends among the cult prostitutes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:15 - He delivers the afflicted by their affliction
and opens their ear by adversity.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:17 - “But you are full of the judgment on the wicked;
judgment and justice seize you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:18 - Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing,
and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:27 - For he draws up the drops of water;
they distill his mist in rain,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:28 - which the skies pour down
and drop on mankind abundantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:8 - Then the beasts go into their lairs,
and remain in their dens.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:9 - From its chamber comes the whirlwind,
and cold from the scattering winds.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:10 - By the breath of God ice is given,
and the broad waters are frozen fast.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:16 - Do you know the balancings[fn] of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:17 - you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:24 - Therefore men fear him;
he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:1 - Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:2 - “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:8 - “Or who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:9 - when I made clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling band,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:10 - and prescribed limits for it
and set bars and doors,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:11 - and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:12 - “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
and caused the dawn to know its place,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:15 - From the wicked their light is withheld,
and their uplifted arm is broken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:16 - “Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:17 - Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:18 - Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:19 - “Where is the way to the dwelling of light,
and where is the place of darkness,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:20 - that you may take it to its territory
and that you may discern the paths to its home?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:21 - You know, for you were born then,
and the number of your days is great!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:22 - “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:24 - What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:25 - “Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
and a way for the thunderbolt,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:29 - From whose womb did the ice come forth,
and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:30 - The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:31 - “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loose the cords of Orion?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:33 - Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you establish their rule on the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:34 - “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
that a flood of waters may cover you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:35 - Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
and say to you, ‘Here we are'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:36 - Who has put wisdom in the inward parts[fn]
or given understanding to the mind?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:37 - Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:38 - when the dust runs into a mass
and the clods stick fast together?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:39 - “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:40 - when they crouch in their dens
or lie in wait in their thicket?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:41 - Who provides for the raven its prey,
when its young ones cry to God for help,
and wander about for lack of food?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:1 - “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
Do you observe the calving of the does?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:2 - Can you number the months that they fulfill,
and do you know the time when they give birth,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:3 - when they crouch, bring forth their offspring,
and are delivered of their young?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:5 - “Who has let the wild donkey go free?
Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:6 - to whom I have given the arid plain for his home
and the salt land for his dwelling place?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:7 - He scorns the tumult of the city;
he hears not the shouts of the driver.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:10 - Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes,
or will he harrow the valleys after you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:11 - Will you depend on him because his strength is great,
and will you leave to him your labor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:12 - Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain
and gather it to your threshing floor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:19 - “Do you give the horse his might?
Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:20 - Do you make him leap like the locust?
His majestic snorting is terrifying.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:21 - He paws[fn] in the valley and exults in his strength;
he goes out to meet the weapons.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:25 - When the trumpet sounds, he says ‘Aha!'
He smells the battle from afar,
the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:26 - “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars
and spreads his wings toward the south?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:27 - Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
and makes his nest on high?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:30 - His young ones suck up blood,
and where the slain are, there is he.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:3 - Then Job answered the LORD and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:4 - “Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you?
I lay my hand on my mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:5 - I have spoken once, and I will not answer;
twice, but I will proceed no further.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:6 - Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:10 - “Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity;
clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:11 - Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:12 - Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low
and tread down the wicked where they stand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:13 - Hide them all in the dust together;
bind their faces in the world below.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:16 - Behold, his strength in his loins,
and his power in the muscles of his belly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:17 - He makes his tail stiff like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:18 - His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like bars of iron.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:20 - For the mountains yield food for him
where all the wild beasts play.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:22 - For his shade the lotus trees cover him;
the willows of the brook surround him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:1 - [fn] “Can you draw out Leviathan[fn] with a fishhook
or press down his tongue with a cord?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:2 - Can you put a rope in his nose
or pierce his jaw with a hook?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:4 - Will he make a covenant with you
to take him for your servant forever?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:5 - Will you play with him as with a bird,
or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:6 - Will traders bargain over him?
Will they divide him up among the merchants?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:7 - Can you fill his skin with harpoons
or his head with fishing spears?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:8 - Lay your hands on him;
remember the battle—you will not do it again!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:13 - Who can strip off his outer garment?
Who would come near him with a bridle?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:15 - His back is made of[fn] rows of shields,
shut up closely as with a seal.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:16 - One is so near to another
that no air can come between them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:18 - His sneezings flash forth light,
and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:21 - His breath kindles coals,
and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:22 - In his neck abides strength,
and terror dances before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:23 - The folds of his flesh stick together,
firmly cast on him and immovable.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:24 - His heart is hard as a stone,
hard as the lower millstone.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:25 - When he raises himself up, the mighty[fn] are afraid;
at the crashing they are beside themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:27 - He counts iron as straw,
and bronze as rotten wood.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:29 - Clubs are counted as stubble;
he laughs at the rattle of javelins.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:30 - His underparts are like sharp potsherds;
he spreads himself like a threshing sledge on the mire.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:31 - He makes the deep boil like a pot;
he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:32 - Behind him he leaves a shining wake;
one would think the deep to be white-haired.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:34 - He sees everything that is high;
he is king over all the sons of pride.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:1 - Then Job answered the LORD and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:3 - ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?'
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:5 - I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:6 - therefore I despise myself,
and repent[fn] in dust and ashes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:7 - After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:8 - Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:9 - So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:10 - And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:11 - Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil[fn] that the LORD had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a piece of money[fn] and a ring of gold.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:12 - And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:13 - He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:14 - And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:15 - And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:16 - And after this Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:17 - And Job died, an old man, and full of days.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 2:6 - “As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 5:7 - But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house.
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in the fear of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 6:5 - For in death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 8:7 - all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:3 - if the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:5 - The LORD tests the righteous,
but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 13:5 - But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 15:4 - in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the LORD;
who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

turn your foot away from evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:1 - My son, be attentive to my wisdom;
incline your ear to my understanding,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:2 - that you may keep discretion,
and your lips may guard knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:5 - Her feet go down to death;
her steps follow the path to[fn] Sheol;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:6 - she does not ponder the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:10 - lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:16 - Should your springs be scattered abroad,
streams of water in the streets?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:19 - a lovely deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated[fn] always in her love.

and he ponders[fn] all his paths.

go, hasten,[fn] and plead urgently with your neighbor.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:9 - How long will you lie there, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:10 - A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:11 - and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:13 - winks with his eyes, signals[fn] with his feet,
points with his finger,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:14 - with perverted heart devises evil,
continually sowing discord;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:16 - There are six things that the LORD hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:21 - Bind them on your heart always;
tie them around your neck.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:26 - for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,[fn]
but a married woman[fn] hunts down a precious life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:27 - Can a man carry fire next to his chest
and his clothes not be burned?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:28 - Or can one walk on hot coals
and his feet not be scorched?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:31 - but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold;
he will give all the goods of his house.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:32 - He who commits adultery lacks sense;
he who does it destroys himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:33 - He will get wounds and dishonor,
and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:1 - My son, keep my words
and treasure up my commandments with you;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:2 - keep my commandments and live;
keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:3 - bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:4 - Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”

and at every corner she lies in wait.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:13 - She seizes him and kisses him,
and with bold face she says to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:16 - I have spread my couch with coverings,
colored linens from Egyptian linen;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:17 - I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,
aloes, and cinnamon.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:19 - For my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:21 - With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with her smooth talk she compels him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:22 - All at once he follows her,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:23 - till an arrow pierces its liver;
as a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:2 - On the heights beside the way,
at the crossroads she takes her stand;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:3 - beside the gates in front of the town,
at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:5 - O simple ones, learn prudence;
O fools, learn sense.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:7 - for my mouth will utter truth;
wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:10 - Take my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:11 - for wisdom is better than jewels,
and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil.
Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
and perverted speech I hate.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:14 - I have counsel and sound wisdom;
I have insight; I have strength.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:17 - I love those who love me,
and those who seek me diligently find me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:19 - My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold,
and my yield than choice silver.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:25 - Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:30 - then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his[fn] delight,
rejoicing before him always,
