Genesis 37:2--50:26

These [are] the generations
<08435>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
Joseph
<03130>_,
[being] seventeen
<06240> <07651>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_,
was feeding
<07462> (8802)
the flock
<06629>
with his brethren
<0251>_;
and the lad
<05288>
[was] with the sons
<01121>
of Bilhah
<01090>_,
and with the sons
<01121>
of Zilpah
<02153>_,
his father's
<01>
wives
<0802>_:
and Joseph
<03130>
brought
<0935> (8686)
unto his father
<01>
their evil
<07451>
report
<01681>_.
Now Israel
<03478>
loved
<0157> (8804)
Joseph
<03130>
more than all his children
<01121>_,
because he [was] the son
<01121>
of his old age
<02208>_:
and he made
<06213> (8804)
him a coat
<03801>
of [many] colours
<06446>_.
{colours: or, pieces}
And when his brethren
<0251>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that their father
<01>
loved
<0157> (8804)
him more than all his brethren
<0251>_,
they hated
<08130> (8799)
him, and could
<03201> (8804)
not speak
<01696> (8763)
peaceably
<07965>
unto him.
And Joseph
<03130>
dreamed
<02492> (8799)
a dream
<02472>_,
and he told
<05046> (8686)
[it] his brethren
<0251>_:
and they hated
<08130> (8800)
him yet the more
<03254> (8686)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
I pray you, this dream
<02472>
which I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)_:
For, behold, we [were] binding
<0481> (8764) <08432>
sheaves
<0485>
in the field
<07704>_,
and, lo, my sheaf
<0485>
arose
<06965> (8804)_,
and also stood upright
<05324> (8738)_;
and, behold, your sheaves
<0485>
stood round about
<05437> (8799)_,
and made obeisance
<07812> (8691)
to my sheaf
<0485>_.
And his brethren
<0251>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Shalt thou indeed
<04427> (8800)
reign
<04427> (8799)
over us? or shalt thou indeed
<04910> (8800)
have dominion
<04910> (8799)
over us? And they hated
<08130> (8800)
him yet the more
<03254> (8686)
for his dreams
<02472>_,
and for his words
<01697>_.
And he dreamed
<02492> (8799)
yet another
<0312>
dream
<02472>_,
and told
<05608> (8762)
it his brethren
<0251>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>
more; and, behold, the sun
<08121>
and the moon
<03394>
and the eleven
<06240> <0259>
stars
<03556>
made obeisance
<07812> (8693)
to me.
And he told
<05608> (8762)
[it] to his father
<01>_,
and to his brethren
<0251>_:
and his father
<01>
rebuked
<01605> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What [is] this dream
<02472>
that thou hast dreamed
<02492> (8804)_?
Shall I and thy mother
<0517>
and thy brethren
<0251>
indeed
<0935> (8800)
come
<0935> (8799)
to bow down
<07812> (8692)
ourselves to thee to the earth
<0776>_?
And his brethren
<0251>
envied
<07065> (8762)
him; but his father
<01>
observed
<08104> (8804)
the saying
<01697>_.
And his brethren
<0251>
went
<03212> (8799)
to feed
<07462> (8800)
their father's
<01>
flock
<06629>
in Shechem
<07927>_.
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
Do not thy brethren
<0251>
feed
<07462> (8802)
[the flock] in Shechem
<07927>_?
come
<03212> (8798)_,
and I will send thee
<07971> (8799)
unto them. And he said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Here [am I].
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
I pray thee, see
<07200> (8798)
whether it be well
<07965>
with thy brethren
<0251>_,
and well
<07965>
with the flocks
<06629>_;
and bring
<07725> (0)
me word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8685)_.
So he sent
<07971> (8799)
him out of the vale
<06010>
of Hebron
<02275>_,
and he came
<0935> (8799)
to Shechem
<07927>_.
{see...: Heb. see the peace of thy brethren, etc.}
And a certain man
<0376>
found him
<04672> (8799)_,
and, behold, [he was] wandering
<08582> (8802)
in the field
<07704>_:
and the man
<0376>
asked him
<07592> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What seekest
<01245> (8762)
thou?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I seek
<01245> (8764)
my brethren
<0251>_:
tell
<05046> (8685)
me, I pray thee, where
<0375>
they feed
<07462> (8802)
[their flocks].
And the man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They are departed
<05265> (8804)
hence
<02088>_;
for I heard
<08085> (8804)
them say
<0559> (8802)_,
Let us go
<03212> (8799)
to Dothan
<01886>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
his brethren
<0251>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
them in Dothan
<01886>_.
And when they saw
<07200> (8799)
him afar off
<07350>_,
even before he came near
<07126> (8799)
unto them, they conspired
<05230> (8691)
against him to slay
<04191> (8687)
him.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
Behold, this
<01976>
dreamer
<01167> <02472>
cometh
<0935> (8802)_.
{dreamer: Heb. master of dreams}
Come
<03212> (8798)
now therefore, and let us slay
<02026> (8799)
him, and cast
<07993> (8686)
him into some
<0259>
pit
<0953>_,
and we will say
<0559> (8804)_,
Some evil
<07451>
beast
<02416>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
him: and we shall see
<07200> (8799)
what will become of his dreams
<02472>_.
And Reuben
<07205>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], and he delivered
<05337> (8686)
him out of their hands
<03027>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let us not kill
<05221> (8686) <05315>
him.
And Reuben
<07205>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Shed
<08210> (8799)
no blood
<01818>_,
[but] cast
<07993> (8685)
him into this pit
<0953>
that [is] in the wilderness
<04057>_,
and lay
<07971> (8799)
no hand
<03027>
upon him; that he might rid
<05337> (8687)
him out of their hands
<03027>_,
to deliver
<07725> (0)
him to his father
<01>
again
<07725> (8687)_.
And it came to pass, when Joseph
<03130>
was come
<0935> (8804)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
that they stript
<06584> (8686) <0853>
Joseph
<03130>
out of
<0854>
his coat
<03801>_,
[his] coat
<03801>
of [many] colours
<06446>
that [was] on him; {colours: or, pieces}
And they took
<03947> (8799)
him, and cast
<07993> (8686)
him into a pit
<0953>_:
and the pit
<0953>
[was] empty
<07386>_,
[there was] no water
<04325>
in it.
And they sat down
<03427> (8799)
to eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>_:
and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their eyes
<05869>
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, a company
<0736>
of Ishmeelites
<03459>
came
<0935> (8802)
from Gilead
<01568>
with their camels
<01581>
bearing
<05375> (8802)
spicery
<05219>
and balm
<06875>
and myrrh
<03910>_,
going
<01980> (8802)
to carry [it] down
<03381> (8687)
to Egypt
<04714>_.
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
What profit
<01215>
[is it] if we slay
<02026> (8799)
our brother
<0251>_,
and conceal
<03680> (8765)
his blood
<01818>_?
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us sell
<04376> (8799)
him to the Ishmeelites
<03459>_,
and let not our hand
<03027>
be upon him; for he [is] our brother
<0251>
[and] our flesh
<01320>_.
And his brethren
<0251>
were content
<08085> (8799)_.
{were...: Heb. hearkened}
Then there passed
<05674> (8799)
by Midianites
<04084>
merchantmen
<0582> <05503> (8802)_;
and they drew
<04900> (8799)
and lifted up
<05927> (8686)
Joseph
<03130>
out of the pit
<0953>_,
and sold
<04376> (8799)
Joseph
<03130>
to the Ishmeelites
<03459>
for twenty
<06242>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_:
and they brought
<0935> (8686)
Joseph
<03130>
into Egypt
<04714>_.
And Reuben
<07205>
returned
<07725> (8799)
unto the pit
<0953>_;
and, behold, Joseph
<03130>
[was] not in the pit
<0953>_;
and he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_.
And he returned
<07725> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The child
<03206>
[is] not; and I, whither
<0575>
shall I go
<0935> (8802)_?
And they took
<03947> (8799)
Joseph's
<03130>
coat
<03801>_,
and killed
<07819> (8799)
a kid
<08163>
of the goats
<05795>_,
and dipped
<02881> (8799)
the coat
<03801>
in the blood
<01818>_;
And they sent
<07971> (8762)
the coat
<03801>
of [many] colours
<06446>_,
and they brought
<0935> (8686)
[it] to their father
<01>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
This have we found
<04672> (8804)_:
know
<05234> (8685)
now whether it [be] thy son's
<01121>
coat
<03801>
or no.
And he knew it
<05234> (8686)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] my son's
<01121>
coat
<03801>_;
an evil
<07451>
beast
<02416>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
him; Joseph
<03130>
is without doubt
<02963> (8800)
rent in pieces
<02963> (8776)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<08071>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
sackcloth
<08242>
upon his loins
<04975>_,
and mourned
<056> (8691)
for his son
<01121>
many
<07227>
days
<03117>_.
And all his sons
<01121>
and all his daughters
<01323>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
to comfort
<05162> (8763)
him; but he refused
<03985> (8762)
to be comforted
<05162> (8692)_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
For I will go down
<03381> (8799)
into the grave
<07585>
unto my son
<01121>
mourning
<057>_.
Thus his father
<01>
wept
<01058> (8799)
for him.
And the Midianites
<04092>
sold
<04376> (8804)
him into Egypt
<04714>
unto Potiphar
<06318>_,
an officer
<05631>
of Pharaoh's
<06547>_,
[and] captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>_.
{officer: Heb. eunuch: but the word doth signify not only eunuchs, but also chamberlains, courtiers, and officers} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the slaughter men, or executioners}
And it came to pass at that time
<06256>_,
that Judah
<03063>
went down
<03381> (8799)
from his brethren
<0251>_,
and turned
<05186> (8799)
in to a certain
<0376>
Adullamite
<05726>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Hirah
<02437>_.
And Judah
<03063>
saw
<07200> (8799)
there a daughter
<01323>
of a certain
<0376>
Canaanite
<03669>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Shuah
<07770>_;
and he took her
<03947> (8799)_,
and went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and he called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Er
<06147>_.
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Onan
<0209>_.
And she yet again conceived
<03254> (8686)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Shelah
<07956>_:
and he was at Chezib
<03580>_,
when she bare
<03205> (8800)
him.
And Judah
<03063>
took
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
for Er
<06147>
his firstborn
<01060>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Tamar
<08559>_.
And Er
<06147>_,
Judah's
<03063>
firstborn
<01060>_,
was wicked
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
slew
<04191> (8686)
him.
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Onan
<0209>_,
Go in
<0935> (8798)
unto thy brother's
<0251>
wife
<0802>_,
and marry
<02992> (8761)
her, and raise up
<06965> (8685)
seed
<02233>
to thy brother
<0251>_.
And Onan
<0209>
knew
<03045> (8799)
that the seed
<02233>
should not be his; and it came to pass, when
<0518>
he went in
<0935> (8802)
unto his brother's
<0251>
wife
<0802>_,
that he spilled
<07843> (8765)
[it] on the ground
<0776>_,
lest
<01115>
that he should give
<05414> (8800)
seed
<02233>
to his brother
<0251>_.
And the thing which
<0834>
he did
<06213> (8804)
displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>
the LORD
<03068>_:
wherefore he slew
<04191> (8686)
him also. {displeased...: Heb. was evil in the eyes of the Lord}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Judah
<03063>
to Tamar
<08559>
his daughter in law
<03618>_,
Remain
<03427> (8798)
a widow
<0490>
at thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
till Shelah
<07956>
my son
<01121>
be grown
<01431> (8799)_:
for he said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest peradventure he die
<04191> (8799)
also, as his brethren
<0251>
[did]. And Tamar
<08559>
went
<03212> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in her father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
And in process
<07235> (8799)
of time
<03117>
the daughter
<01323>
of Shuah
<07770>
Judah's
<03063>
wife
<0802>
died
<04191> (8799)_;
and Judah
<03063>
was comforted
<05162> (8735)_,
and went up
<05927> (8799)
unto his sheepshearers
<01494> (8802) <06629>
to Timnath
<08553>_,
he and his friend
<07453>
Hirah
<02437>
the Adullamite
<05726>_.
{in process...: Heb. the days were multiplied}
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Tamar
<08559>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold thy father in law
<02524>
goeth up
<05927> (8802)
to Timnath
<08553>
to shear
<01494> (8800)
his sheep
<06629>_.
And she put
<05493> (0)
her widow's
<0491>
garments
<0899>
off
<05493> (8686)
from her, and covered her
<03680> (8762)
with a vail
<06809>_,
and wrapped herself
<05968> (8691)_,
and sat in
<03427> (8799)
an open
<05869>
place
<06607>_,
which [is] by the way
<01870>
to Timnath
<08553>_;
for she saw
<07200> (8804)
that Shelah
<07956>
was grown
<01431> (8804)_,
and she was not given
<05414> (8738)
unto him to wife
<0802>_.
{an open...: Heb. the door of eyes, or, of Enajim}
When Judah
<03063>
saw her
<07200> (8799)_,
he thought
<02803> (8799)
her [to be] an harlot
<02181> (8802)_;
because she had covered
<03680> (8765)
her face
<06440>_.
And he turned
<05186> (8799)
unto her by the way
<01870>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go to
<03051> (8798)_,
I pray thee, let me come in
<0935> (8799)
unto thee; (for he knew
<03045> (8804)
not that she [was] his daughter in law
<03618>.)
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
What wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)
me, that thou mayest come in
<0935> (8799)
unto me?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will send
<07971> (8762)
[thee] a kid
<05795> <01423>
from the flock
<06629>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)
[me] a pledge
<06162>_,
till thou send
<07971> (8800)
[it]? {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What
<0834>
pledge
<06162>
shall I give
<05414> (8799)
thee? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy signet
<02368>_,
and thy bracelets
<06616>_,
and thy staff
<04294>
that [is] in thine hand
<03027>_.
And he gave
<05414> (8799)
[it] her, and came in
<0935> (8799)
unto her, and she conceived
<02029> (8799)
by him.
And she arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went away
<03212> (8799)_,
and laid by
<05493> (8686)
her vail
<06809>
from her, and put on
<03847> (8799)
the garments
<0899>
of her widowhood
<0491>_.
And Judah
<03063>
sent
<07971> (8799)
the kid
<01423> <05795>
by the hand
<03027>
of his friend
<07453>
the Adullamite
<05726>_,
to receive
<03947> (8800)
[his] pledge
<06162>
from the woman's
<0802>
hand
<03027>_:
but he found her
<04672> (8804)
not.
Then he asked
<07592> (8799)
the men
<0582>
of that place
<04725>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Where [is] the harlot
<06948>_,
that [was] openly
<05869>
by the way side
<01870>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
There was no harlot
<06948>
in this
<02088>
[place]. {openly: or, in Enajim}
And he returned
<07725> (8799)
to Judah
<03063>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I cannot
<03808>
find
<04672> (8804)
her; and also the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
[that] there was no harlot
<06948>
in this [place].
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let her take
<03947> (8799)
[it] to her, lest we be shamed
<0937>_:
behold, I sent
<07971> (8804)
this kid
<01423>_,
and thou hast not found
<04672> (8804)
her. {be shamed: Heb. become a contempt}
And it came to pass about three
<07969>
months
<02320>
after, that it was told
<05046> (8714)
Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Tamar
<08559>
thy daughter in law
<03618>
hath played the harlot
<02181> (8804)_;
and also, behold, she [is] with child
<02030>
by whoredom
<02183>_.
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring her forth
<03318> (8685)_,
and let her be burnt
<08313> (8735)_.
When she [was] brought forth
<03318> (8716)_,
she sent
<07971> (8804)
to her father in law
<02524>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
By the man
<0376>_,
whose these [are, am] I with child
<02030>_:
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Discern
<05234> (8685)_,
I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet
<02858>_,
and bracelets
<06616>_,
and staff
<04294>_.
And Judah
<03063>
acknowledged
<05234> (8686)
[them], and said
<0559> (8799)_,
She hath been more righteous
<06663> (8804)
than I; because that I gave
<05414> (8804)
her not to Shelah
<07956>
my son
<01121>_.
And he knew her
<03045> (8800)
again
<03254> (8804)
no more.
And it came to pass in the time
<06256>
of her travail
<03205> (8800)_,
that, behold, twins
<08380>
[were] in her womb
<0990>_.
And it came to pass, when she travailed
<03205> (8800)_,
that [the one] put out
<05414> (8799)
[his] hand
<03027>_:
and the midwife
<03205> (8764)
took
<03947> (8799)
and bound
<07194> (8799)
upon his hand
<03027>
a scarlet thread
<08144>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This came out
<03318> (8804)
first
<07223>_.
And it came to pass, as he drew back
<07725> (8688)
his hand
<03027>_,
that, behold, his brother
<0251>
came out
<03318> (8804)_:
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
How hast thou broken forth
<06555> (8804)_?
[this] breach
<06556>
[be] upon thee: therefore his name
<08034>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Pharez
<06557>_.
{How hast...: or, Wherefore hast thou made this breach against thee?} {Pharez: that is A breach}
And afterward
<0310>
came out
<03318> (8804)
his brother
<0251>_,
that had the scarlet thread
<08144>
upon his hand
<03027>_:
and his name
<08034>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Zarah
<02226>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
was brought down
<03381> (8717)
to Egypt
<04714>_;
and Potiphar
<06318>_,
an officer
<05631>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>_,
an Egyptian
<0376> <04713>_,
bought
<07069> (8799)
him of the hands
<03027>
of the Ishmeelites
<03459>_,
which had brought him down
<03381> (8689)
thither.
And the LORD
<03068>
was with Joseph
<03130>_,
and he was a prosperous
<06743> (8688)
man
<0376>_;
and he was in the house
<01004>
of his master
<0113>
the Egyptian
<04713>_.
And his master
<0113>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
[was] with him, and that the LORD
<03068>
made all that he did
<06213> (8802)
to prosper
<06743> (8688)
in his hand
<03027>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
found
<04672> (8799)
grace
<02580>
in his sight
<05869>_,
and he served
<08334> (8762)
him: and he made him overseer
<06485> (8686)
over his house
<01004>_,
and all [that] he had
<03426>
he put
<05414> (8804)
into his hand
<03027>_.
And it came to pass from the time
<0227>
[that] he had made him overseer
<06485> (8689)
in his house
<01004>_,
and over all that he had
<03426>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
the Egyptian's
<04713>
house
<01004>
for Joseph's
<03130>
sake
<01558>_;
and the blessing
<01293>
of the LORD
<03068>
was upon all that he had
<03426>
in the house
<01004>_,
and in the field
<07704>_.
And he left
<05800> (8799)
all that he had in Joseph's
<03130>
hand
<03027>_;
and he knew
<03045> (8804)
not ought
<03972>
he had, save
<0518>
the bread
<03899>
which he did eat
<0398> (8802)_.
And Joseph
<03130>
was [a] goodly
<08389>
[person], and well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
that his master's
<0113>
wife
<0802>
cast
<05375> (8799)
her eyes
<05869>
upon Joseph
<03130>_;
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lie
<07901> (8798)
with me.
But he refused
<03985> (8762)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his master's
<0113>
wife
<0802>_,
Behold, my master
<0113>
wotteth
<03045> (8804)
not what [is] with me in the house
<01004>_,
and he hath committed
<05414> (8804)
all that he hath
<03426>
to my hand
<03027>_;
[There is] none greater
<01419>
in this house
<01004>
than I; neither
<03808>
hath he kept back
<02820> (8804)
any thing
<03972>
from me but thee, because
<0834>
thou
<0859>
[art] his wife
<0802>_:
how then can I do
<06213> (8799)
this great
<01419>
wickedness
<07451>_,
and sin
<02398> (8804)
against God
<0430>_?
And it came to pass, as she spake
<01696> (8763)
to Joseph
<03130>
day
<03117>
by day
<03117>_,
that he hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto her, to lie
<07901> (8800)
by her
<0681>_,
[or] to be with her.
And it came to pass about this time
<03117>_,
that [Joseph] went
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
to do
<06213> (8800)
his business
<04399>_;
and [there was] none of the men
<0376> <0582>
of the house
<01004>
there within.
And she caught
<08610> (8799)
him by his garment
<0899>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Lie
<07901> (8798)
with me: and he left
<05800> (8799)
his garment
<0899>
in her hand
<03027>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and got
<03318> (8799)
him out
<02351>_.
And it came to pass, when she saw
<07200> (8800)
that he had left
<05800> (8804)
his garment
<0899>
in her hand
<03027>_,
and was fled
<05127> (8799)
forth
<02351>_,
That she called
<07121> (8799)
unto the men
<0582>
of her house
<01004>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
he hath brought in
<0935> (8689)
an Hebrew
<0376> <05680>
unto us to mock
<06711> (8763)
us; he came in
<0935> (8804)
unto me to lie
<07901> (8800)
with me, and I cried
<07121> (8799)
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>_:
{loud: Heb. great}
And it came to pass, when he heard
<08085> (8800)
that I lifted up
<07311> (8689)
my voice
<06963>
and cried
<07121> (8799)_,
that he left
<05800> (8799)
his garment
<0899>
with me
<0681>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and got him
<03318> (8799)
out
<02351>_.
And she laid up
<03240> (8686)
his garment
<0899>
by her
<0681>_,
until his lord
<0113>
came
<0935> (8800)
home
<01004>_.
And she spake
<01696> (8762)
unto him according to these words
<01697>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The Hebrew
<05680>
servant
<05650>_,
which thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)
unto us, came in
<0935> (8804)
unto me to mock
<06711> (8763)
me:
And it came to pass, as I lifted up
<07311> (8687)
my voice
<06963>
and cried
<07121> (8799)_,
that he left
<05800> (8799)
his garment
<0899>
with me
<0681>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)
out
<02351>_.
And it came to pass, when his master
<0113>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of his wife
<0802>_,
which she spake
<01696> (8765)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
After this manner
<01697>
did
<06213> (8804)
thy servant
<05650>
to me; that his wrath
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.
And Joseph's
<03130>
master
<0113>
took
<03947> (8799)
him, and put him
<05414> (8799)
into the prison
<01004> <05470>_,
a place
<04725>
where the king's
<04428>
prisoners
<0615>
[were] bound
<0631> (8803)_:
and he was there in the prison
<01004> <05470>_.
But the LORD
<03068>
was with Joseph
<03130>_,
and shewed
<05186> (8799)
him mercy
<02617>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
him favour
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of the keeper
<08269>
of the prison
<01004> <05470>_.
{shewed...: Heb. extended kindness unto him}
And the keeper
<08269>
of the prison
<01004> <05470>
committed
<05414> (8799)
to Joseph's
<03130>
hand
<03027>
all the prisoners
<0615>
that [were] in the prison
<01004> <05470>_;
and whatsoever they did
<06213> (8802)
there, he was the doer
<06213> (8802)
[of it].
The keeper
<08269>
of the prison
<01004> <05470>
looked
<07200> (8802)
not to any thing
<03972>
[that was] under his hand
<03027>_;
because the LORD
<03068>
was with him, and [that] which he did
<06213> (8802)_,
the LORD
<03068>
made [it] to prosper
<06743> (8688)_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
[that] the butler
<08248> (8688)
of the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
and [his] baker
<0644> (8802)
had offended
<02398> (8804)
their lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
was wroth
<07107> (8799)
against
<05921>
two
<08147>
[of] his officers
<05631>_,
against the chief
<08269>
of the butlers
<08248> (8688)_,
and against the chief
<08269>
of the bakers
<0644> (8802)_.
And he put
<05414> (8799)
them in ward
<04929>
in the house
<01004>
of the captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>_,
into the prison
<01004> <05470>_,
the place
<04725>
where Joseph
<03130>
[was] bound
<0631> (8803)_.
And the captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>
charged
<06485> (8799)
Joseph
<03130>
with them, and he served
<08334> (8762)
them: and they continued a season
<03117>
in ward
<04929>_.
And they dreamed
<02492> (8799)
a dream
<02472>
both of them
<08147>_,
each man
<0376>
his dream
<02472>
in one
<0259>
night
<03915>_,
each man
<0376>
according to the interpretation
<06623>
of his dream
<02472>_,
the butler
<08248> (8688)
and the baker
<0644> (8802)
of the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
which [were] bound
<0631> (8803)
in the prison
<01004> <05470>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
came in
<0935> (8799)
unto them in the morning
<01242>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)
upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad
<02196> (8802)_.
And he asked
<07592> (8799)
Pharaoh's
<06547>
officers
<05631>
that [were] with him in the ward
<04929>
of his lord's
<0113>
house
<01004>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Wherefore look
<06440>
ye [so] sadly
<07451>
to day
<03117>_?
{look...: Heb. are your faces evil?}
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We have dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>_,
and [there is] no interpreter
<06622> (8802)
of it. And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, [Do] not interpretations
<06623>
[belong] to God
<0430>_?
tell me
<05608> (8761)
[them], I pray you.
And the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
told
<05608> (8762)
his dream
<02472>
to Joseph
<03130>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to him, In my dream
<02472>_,
behold, a vine
<01612>
[was] before me
<06440>_;
And in the vine
<01612>
[were] three
<07969>
branches
<08299>_:
and it [was] as though it budded
<06524> (8802)_,
[and] her blossoms
<05322>
shot forth
<05927> (8804)_;
and the clusters
<0811>
thereof brought forth ripe
<01310> (8689)
grapes
<06025>_:
And Pharaoh's
<06547>
cup
<03563>
[was] in my hand
<03027>_:
and I took
<03947> (8799)
the grapes
<06025>_,
and pressed
<07818> (8799)
them into Pharaoh's
<06547>
cup
<03563>_,
and I gave
<05414> (8799)
the cup
<03563>
into Pharaoh's
<06547>
hand
<03709>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, This [is] the interpretation
<06623>
of it: The three
<07969>
branches
<08299>
[are] three
<07969>
days
<03117>_:
Yet
<05750>
within three
<07969>
days
<03117>
shall Pharaoh
<06547>
lift up
<05375> (8799)
thine head
<07218>_,
and restore
<07725> (8689)
thee unto thy place
<03653>_:
and thou shalt deliver
<05414> (8804)
Pharaoh's
<06547>
cup
<03563>
into his hand
<03027>_,
after the former
<07223>
manner
<04941>
when thou wast his butler
<08248> (8688)_.
{lift...: or, reckon}
But think
<02142> (8804)
on me when it shall be well
<03190> (8799)
with thee, and shew
<06213> (8804)
kindness
<02617>_,
I pray thee, unto me, and make mention
<02142> (8689)
of me unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and bring me
<03318> (8689)
out of this house
<01004>_:
{think...: Heb. remember me with thee}
For indeed I was stolen away
<01589> (8795)
out of the land
<0776>
of the Hebrews
<05680>_:
and here also have I done
<06213> (8804)
nothing
<03972>
that they should put
<07760> (8804)
me into the dungeon
<0953>_.
When the chief
<08269>
baker
<0644> (8802)
saw
<07200> (8799)
that the interpretation
<06622> (8804)
was good
<02896>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
I also
<0637>
[was] in my dream
<02472>_,
and, behold, [I had] three
<07969>
white
<02751>
baskets
<05536>
on my head
<07218>_:
{white: or, full of holes}
And in the uppermost
<05945>
basket
<05536>
[there was] of all manner
<03978>
of bakemeats
<04639> <0644> (8802)
for Pharaoh
<06547>_;
and the birds
<05775>
did eat
<0398> (8802)
them out of the basket
<05536>
upon
<05921>
my head
<07218>_.
{bakemeats...: Heb. meat of Pharaoh, the work of a baker, or, cook}
And Joseph
<03130>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] the interpretation
<06623>
thereof: The three
<07969>
baskets
<05536>
[are] three
<07969>
days
<03117>_:
Yet within three
<07969>
days
<03117>
shall Pharaoh
<06547>
lift up
<05375> (8799)
thy head
<07218>
from off thee, and shall hang
<08518> (8804)
thee on a tree
<06086>_;
and the birds
<05775>
shall eat
<0398> (8804)
thy flesh
<01320>
from off thee. {lift...: or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee}
And it came to pass the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
[which was] Pharaoh's
<06547>
birthday
<03117> <03205> (8715)_,
that he made
<06213> (8799)
a feast
<04960>
unto all his servants
<05650>_:
and he lifted up
<05375> (8799)
the head
<07218>
of the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
and of the chief
<08269>
baker
<0644> (8802)
among
<08432>
his servants
<05650>_.
{lifted...: or, reckoned}
And he restored
<07725> (0)
the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
unto his butlership
<04945>
again
<07725> (8686)_;
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
the cup
<03563>
into Pharaoh's
<06547>
hand
<03709>_:
But he hanged
<08518> (8804)
the chief
<08269>
baker
<0644> (8802)_:
as Joseph
<03130>
had interpreted
<06622> (8804)
to them.
Yet did not the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
remember
<02142> (8804)
Joseph
<03130>_,
but forgat
<07911> (8799)
him.
And it came to pass at the end
<07093>
of two full
<03117>
years
<08141>_,
that Pharaoh
<06547>
dreamed
<02492> (8802)_:
and, behold, he stood
<05975> (8802)
by the river
<02975>_.
And, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)
out of the river
<02975>
seven
<07651>
well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>
kine
<06510>
and fatfleshed
<01277> <01320>_;
and they fed
<07462> (8799)
in a meadow
<0260>_.
And, behold, seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
kine
<06510>
came up
<05927> (8802)
after them
<0310>
out of the river
<02975>_,
ill
<07451>
favoured
<04758>
and leanfleshed
<01851> <01320>_;
and stood
<05975> (8799)
by
<0681>
the [other] kine
<06510>
upon the brink
<08193>
of the river
<02975>_.
And the ill
<07451>
favoured
<04758>
and leanfleshed
<01851> <01320>
kine
<06510>
did eat up
<0398> (8799)
the seven
<07651>
well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>
and fat
<01277>
kine
<06510>_.
So Pharaoh
<06547>
awoke
<03364> (8799)_.
And he slept
<03462> (8799)
and dreamed
<02492> (8799)
the second time
<08145>_:
and, behold, seven
<07651>
ears of corn
<07641>
came up
<05927> (8802)
upon one
<0259>
stalk
<07070>_,
rank
<01277>
and good
<02896>_.
{rank: Heb. fat}
And, behold, seven
<07651>
thin
<01851>
ears
<07641>
and blasted
<07710> (8803)
with the east wind
<06921>
sprung up
<06779> (8802)
after them
<0310>_.
And the seven thin
<01851>
ears
<07641>
devoured
<01104> (8799)
the seven
<07651>
rank
<01277>
and full
<04392>
ears
<07641>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
awoke
<03364> (8799)_,
and, behold, [it was] a dream
<02472>_.
And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>
that his spirit
<07307>
was troubled
<06470> (8735)_;
and he sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
for all the magicians
<02748>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and all the wise men
<02450>
thereof: and Pharaoh
<06547>
told
<05608> (8762)
them his dream
<02472>_;
but [there was] none that could interpret
<06622> (8802)
them unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.
Then spake
<01696> (8762)
the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I do remember
<02142> (8688)
my faults
<02399>
this day
<03117>_:
Pharaoh
<06547>
was wroth
<07107> (8804)
with his servants
<05650>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
me in ward
<04929>
in the captain
<08269>
of the guard's
<02876>
house
<01004>_,
[both] me and the chief
<08269>
baker
<0644> (8802)_:
And we dreamed
<02492> (8799)
a dream
<02472>
in one
<0259>
night
<03915>_,
I and he; we dreamed
<02492> (8804)
each man
<0376>
according to the interpretation
<06623>
of his dream
<02472>_.
And [there was] there with us a young man
<05288>_,
an Hebrew
<05680>_,
servant
<05650>
to the captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>_;
and we told
<05608> (8762)
him, and he interpreted
<06622> (8799)
to us our dreams
<02472>_;
to each man
<0376>
according to his dream
<02472>
he did interpret
<06622> (8804)_.
And it came to pass, as he interpreted
<06622> (8804)
to us, so it was; me he restored
<07725> (8689)
unto mine office
<03653>_,
and him he hanged
<08518> (8804)_.
Then Pharaoh
<06547>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
Joseph
<03130>_,
and they brought him hastily
<07323> (8686)
out of the dungeon
<0953>_:
and he shaved
<01548> (8762)
[himself], and changed
<02498> (8762)
his raiment
<08071>_,
and came in
<0935> (8804)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.
{brought...: Heb. made him run}
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>_,
and [there is] none that can interpret
<06622> (8802)
it: and I have heard
<08085> (8804)
say
<0559> (8800)
of thee, [that] thou canst understand
<08085> (8799)
a dream
<02472>
to interpret
<06622> (8800)
it. {thou...: or, when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it}
And Joseph
<03130>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Pharaoh
<06547>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[It is] not in me
<01107>_:
God
<0430>
shall give
<06030> (0)
Pharaoh
<06547>
an answer
<06030> (8799)
of peace
<07965>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<01696> (8762)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
In my dream
<02472>_,
behold, I stood
<05975> (8802)
upon the bank
<08193>
of the river
<02975>_:
And, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)
out of the river
<02975>
seven
<07651>
kine
<06510>_,
fatfleshed
<01277> <01320>
and well
<03303>
favoured
<08389>_;
and they fed
<07462> (8799)
in a meadow
<0260>_:
And, behold, seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
kine
<06510>
came up
<05927> (8802)
after them
<0310>_,
poor
<01803>
and very
<03966>
ill
<07451>
favoured
<08389>
and leanfleshed
<07534> <01320>_,
such
<02007>
as I never
<03808>
saw
<07200> (8804)
in all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
for badness
<07455>_:
And the lean
<07534>
and the ill favoured
<07451>
kine
<06510>
did eat up
<0398> (8799)
the first
<07223>
seven
<07651>
fat
<01277>
kine
<06510>_:
And when they had eaten them up
<0935> (8799) <07130>_,
it could not be known
<03045> (8738)
that they had eaten them
<0935> (8804) <07130>_;
but they [were] still
<04758>
ill favoured
<07451>_,
as at the beginning
<08462>_.
So I awoke
<03364> (8799)_.
{eaten...: Heb. come to the inward parts of them}
And I saw
<07200> (8799)
in my dream
<02472>_,
and, behold, seven
<07651>
ears
<07641>
came up
<05927> (8802)
in one
<0259>
stalk
<07070>_,
full
<04392>
and good
<02896>_:
And, behold, seven
<07651>
ears
<07641>_,
withered
<06798> (8803)_,
thin
<01851>_,
[and] blasted
<07710> (8803)
with the east wind
<06921>_,
sprung up
<06779> (8802)
after them
<0310>_:
{withered: or, small}
And the thin
<01851>
ears
<07641>
devoured
<01104> (8799)
the seven
<07651>
good
<02896>
ears
<07641>_:
and I told
<0559> (8799)
[this] unto the magicians
<02748>_;
but [there was] none that could declare
<05046> (8688)
[it] to me.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
The dream
<02472>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
[is] one
<0259>_:
God
<0430>
hath shewed
<05046> (8689)
Pharaoh
<06547>
what he [is] about to do
<06213> (8802)_.
The seven
<07651>
good
<02896>
kine
<06510>
[are] seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_;
and the seven
<07651>
good
<02896>
ears
<07641>
[are] seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_:
the dream
<02472>
[is] one
<0259>_.
And the seven
<07651>
thin
<07534>
and ill favoured
<07451>
kine
<06510>
that came up
<05927> (8802)
after them
<0310>
[are] seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_;
and the seven
<07651>
empty
<07386>
ears
<07641>
blasted
<07710> (8803)
with the east wind
<06921>
shall be seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>_.
This [is] the thing
<01697>
which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_:
What God
<0430>
[is] about to do
<06213> (8802)
he sheweth
<07200> (8689)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.
Behold, there come
<0935> (8802)
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of great
<01419>
plenty
<07647>
throughout all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
And there shall arise
<06965> (8804)
after them
<0310>
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>_;
and all the plenty
<07647>
shall be forgotten
<07911> (8738)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
and the famine
<07458>
shall consume
<03615> (8765)
the land
<0776>_;
And the plenty
<07647>
shall not be known
<03045> (8735)
in the land
<0776>
by reason
<06440>
of that famine
<07458>
following
<0310> <03651>_;
for it [shall be] very
<03966>
grievous
<03515>_.
{grievous: Heb. heavy}
And for that the dream
<02472>
was doubled
<08138> (8736)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>
twice
<06471>_;
[it is] because the thing
<01697>
[is] established
<03559> (8737)
by
<05973>
God
<0430>_,
and God
<0430>
will shortly
<04116> (8764)
bring it to pass
<06213> (8800)_.
{established...: or, prepared of God}
Now therefore let Pharaoh
<06547>
look out
<07200> (8799)
a man
<0376>
discreet
<0995> (8737)
and wise
<02450>_,
and set
<07896> (8799)
him over the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Let Pharaoh
<06547>
do
<06213> (8799)
[this], and let him appoint
<06485> (8686)
officers
<06496>
over the land
<0776>_,
and take up the fifth part
<02567> (8765)
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
in the seven
<07651>
plenteous
<07647>
years
<08141>_.
{officers: or, overseers}
And let them gather
<06908> (8799)
all the food
<0400>
of those good
<02896>
years
<08141>
that come
<0935> (8802)_,
and lay up
<06651> (8799)
corn
<01250>
under the hand
<03027>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and let them keep
<08104> (8804)
food
<0400>
in the cities
<05892>_.
And that food
<0400>
shall be for store
<06487>
to the land
<0776>
against the seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>_,
which shall be in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
that the land
<0776>
perish
<03772> (8735)
not through the famine
<07458>_.
{perish...: Heb. be not cut off}
And the thing
<01697>
was good
<03190> (8799)
in the eyes
<05869>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and in the eyes
<05869>
of all his servants
<05650>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Can we find
<04672> (8799)
[such a one] as this
<02088>
[is], a man
<0376>
in whom
<0834>
the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
[is]?
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
Forasmuch
<0310>
as God
<0430>
hath shewed
<03045> (8687)
thee all this, [there is] none so discreet
<0995> (8737)
and wise
<02450>
as thou [art]:
Thou shalt be
<01961> (8799)
over my house
<01004>_,
and according unto thy word
<06310>
shall all my people
<05971>
be ruled
<05401> (8799)_:
only in the throne
<03678>
will I be greater
<01431> (8799)
than thou. {be ruled: Heb. be armed, or, kiss}
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
I have set
<05414> (8804)
thee over all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
took off
<05493> (8686)
his ring
<02885>
from his hand
<03027>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
it upon Joseph's
<03130>
hand
<03027>_,
and arrayed
<03847> (8686)
him in vestures
<0899>
of fine linen
<08336>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
a gold
<02091>
chain
<07242>
about his neck
<06677>_;
{fine...: or, silk}
And he made him to ride
<07392> (8686)
in the second
<04932>
chariot
<04818>
which he had; and they cried
<07121> (8799)
before him
<06440>_,
Bow the knee
<086>_:
and he made
<05414> (8800)
him [ruler] over all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{Bow...: or, Tender father: Heb. Abrech}
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
I [am] Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and without
<01107>
thee shall no man
<0376>
lift up
<07311> (8686)
his hand
<03027>
or foot
<07272>
in all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
called
<07121> (8799)
Joseph's
<03130>
name
<08034>
Zaphnathpaaneah
<06847>_;
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
him to wife
<0802>
Asenath
<0621>
the daughter
<01323>
of Potipherah
<06319>
priest
<03548>
of On
<0204>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
went out
<03318> (8799)
over [all] the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{Zaphnathpaaneah: which in the Coptic signifies, A revealer of secrets, or, The man to whom secrets are revealed} {priest: or, prince}
And Joseph
<03130>
[was] thirty
<07970>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he stood
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from the presence
<06440>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and went throughout
<05674> (8799)
all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And in the seven
<07651>
plenteous
<07647>
years
<08141>
the earth
<0776>
brought forth
<06213> (8799)
by handfuls
<07062>_.
And he gathered up
<06908> (8799)
all the food
<0400>
of the seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_,
which were in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and laid up
<05414> (8799)
the food
<0400>
in the cities
<05892>_:
the food
<0400>
of the field
<07704>_,
which [was] round about
<05439>
every city
<05892>_,
laid he up
<05414> (8804)
in the same
<08432>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
gathered
<06651> (8799)
corn
<01250>
as the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_,
very
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)_,
until he left
<02308> (8804)
numbering
<05608> (8800)_;
for [it was] without
<0369>
number
<04557>_.
And unto Joseph
<03130>
were born
<03205> (8795)
two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
before the years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
which Asenath
<0621>
the daughter
<01323>
of Potipherah
<06319>
priest
<03548>
of On
<0204>
bare
<03205> (8804)
unto him. {priest: or, prince}
And Joseph
<03130>
called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the firstborn
<01060>
Manasseh
<04519>_:
For God
<0430>_,
[said he], hath made me forget
<05382> (8765)
all my toil
<05999>_,
and all my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
{Manasseh: that is, Forgetting}
And the name
<08034>
of the second
<08145>
called
<07121> (8804)
he Ephraim
<0669>_:
For God
<0430>
hath caused me to be fruitful
<06509> (8689)
in the land
<0776>
of my affliction
<06040>_.
{Ephraim: that is, Fruitful}
And the seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of plenteousness
<07647>_,
that was in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
were ended
<03615> (8799)_.
And the seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of dearth
<07458>
began
<02490> (8686)
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
according as Joseph
<03130>
had said
<0559> (8804)_:
and the dearth
<07458>
was in all lands
<0776>_;
but in all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
there was bread
<03899>_.
And when all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
was famished
<07456> (8799)_,
the people
<05971>
cried
<06817> (8799)
to Pharaoh
<06547>
for bread
<03899>_:
and Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the Egyptians
<04714>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
unto Joseph
<03130>_;
what he saith
<0559> (8799)
to you, do
<06213> (8799)_.
And the famine
<07458>
was over all the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0776>_:
And Joseph
<03130>
opened
<06605> (8799)
all the storehouses, and sold
<07666> (8799)
unto the Egyptians
<04714>_;
and the famine
<07458>
waxed sore
<02388> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{all the storehouses: Heb. all wherein was}
And all countries
<0776>
came
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>
to Joseph
<03130>
for to buy
<07666> (8800)
[corn]; because that the famine
<07458>
was [so] sore
<02388> (8804)
in all lands
<0776>_.
Now when Jacob
<03290>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that there was
<03426>
corn
<07668>
in Egypt
<04714>_,
Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his sons
<01121>_,
Why do ye look
<07200> (8691)
one upon another?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I have heard
<08085> (8804)
that there is
<03426>
corn
<07668>
in Egypt
<04714>_:
get you down
<03381> (8798)
thither, and buy
<07666> (8798)
for us from thence; that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,
and not die
<04191> (8799)_.
And Joseph's
<03130>
ten
<06235>
brethren
<0251>
went down
<03381> (8799)
to buy
<07666> (8800)
corn
<01250>
in Egypt
<04714>_.
But Benjamin
<01144>_,
Joseph's
<03130>
brother
<0251>_,
Jacob
<03290>
sent
<07971> (8804)
not with his brethren
<0251>_;
for he said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest peradventure
<06435>
mischief
<0611>
befall him
<07122> (8799)_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
came
<0935> (8799)
to buy
<07666> (8800)
[corn] among
<08432>
those that came
<0935> (8802)_:
for the famine
<07458>
was in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
[was] the governor
<07989>
over the land
<0776>_,
[and] he [it was] that sold
<07666> (8688)
to all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_:
and Joseph's
<03130>
brethren
<0251>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and bowed down
<07812> (8691)
themselves before him [with] their faces
<0639>
to the earth
<0776>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
saw
<07200> (8799)
his brethren
<0251>_,
and he knew
<05234> (8686)
them, but made himself strange
<05234> (8691)
unto them, and spake
<01696> (8762)
roughly
<07186>
unto them; and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Whence
<0370>
come
<0935> (8804)
ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
From the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>_.
{roughly...: Heb. hard things with them}
And Joseph
<03130>
knew
<05234> (8686)
his brethren
<0251>_,
but they knew
<05234> (8689)
not him.
And Joseph
<03130>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
the dreams
<02472>
which he dreamed
<02492> (8804)
of them, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_;
to see
<07200> (8800)
the nakedness
<06172>
of the land
<0776>
ye are come
<0935> (8804)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Nay, my lord
<0113>_,
but to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>
are thy servants
<05650>
come
<0935> (8804)_.
We
<05168>
[are] all one
<0259>
man's
<0376>
sons
<01121>_;
we [are] true
<03651>
[men], thy servants
<05650>
are no spies
<07270> (8764)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Nay, but to see
<07200> (8800)
the nakedness
<06172>
of the land
<0776>
ye are come
<0935> (8804)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servants
<05650>
[are] twelve
<08147> <06240>
brethren
<0251>_,
the sons
<01121>
of one
<0259>
man
<0376>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
and, behold, the youngest
<06996>
[is] this day
<03117>
with our father
<01>_,
and one
<0259>
[is] not.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, That [is it] that I spake
<01696> (8765)
unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_:
Hereby
<02063>
ye shall be proved
<0974> (8735)_:
By the life
<02416>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
ye shall not go forth
<03318> (8799)
hence, except your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
come
<0935> (8800)
hither.
Send
<07971> (8798)
one
<0259>
of you, and let him fetch
<03947> (8799)
your brother
<0251>_,
and ye shall be kept in prison
<0631> (8734)_,
that your words
<01697>
may be proved
<0974> (8735)_,
whether [there be any] truth
<0571>
in
<0854>
you: or else
<03808>
by the life
<02416>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
surely ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_.
{kept...: Heb. bound}
And he put them all together
<0622> (8799)
into ward
<04929>
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_.
{put: Heb. gathered}
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
This do
<06213> (8798)_,
and live
<02421> (8798)_;
[for] I fear
<03373>
God
<0430>_:
If ye [be] true
<03651>
[men], let one
<0259>
of your brethren
<0251>
be bound
<0631> (8735)
in the house
<01004>
of your prison
<04929>_:
go
<03212> (8798)
ye, carry
<0935> (8685)
corn
<07668>
for the famine
<07459>
of your houses
<01004>_:
But bring
<0935> (8686)
your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
unto me; so shall your words
<01697>
be verified
<0539> (8735)_,
and ye shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.
And they did
<06213> (8799)
so.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
We [are] verily
<061>
guilty
<0818>
concerning our brother
<0251>_,
in that
<0834>
we saw
<07200> (8804)
the anguish
<06869>
of his soul
<05315>_,
when he besought
<02603> (8692)
us, and we would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;
therefore is this distress
<06869>
come
<0935> (8804)
upon us.
And Reuben
<07205>
answered
<06030> (8799)
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Spake I
<0559> (8804)
not unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Do not sin
<02398> (8799)
against the child
<03206>_;
and ye would not hear
<08085> (8804)_?
therefore, behold, also his blood
<01818>
is required
<01875> (8738)_.
And they knew
<03045> (8804)
not that Joseph
<03130>
understood
<08085> (8802)
[them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter
<03887> (8688)_.
{he spake...: Heb. an interpreter was between them}
And he turned himself about
<05437> (8735)
from them, and wept
<01058> (8799)_;
and returned to them again
<07725> (8799)_,
and communed
<01696> (8762)
with them, and took
<03947> (8799)
from them Simeon
<08095>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him before their eyes
<05869>_.
Then Joseph
<03130>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
to fill
<04390> (8762)
their sacks
<03627>
with corn
<01250>_,
and to restore
<07725> (8687)
every man's
<0376>
money
<03701>
into his sack
<08242>_,
and to give
<05414> (8800)
them provision
<06720>
for the way
<01870>_:
and thus
<03651>
did he
<06213> (8799)
unto them.
And they laded
<05375> (8799)
their asses
<02543>
with the corn
<07668>_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)
thence.
And as one
<0259>
of them opened
<06605> (8799)
his sack
<08242>
to give
<05414> (8800)
his ass
<02543>
provender
<04554>
in the inn
<04411>_,
he espied
<07200> (8799)
his money
<03701>_;
for, behold, it [was] in his sack's
<0572>
mouth
<06310>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
My money
<03701>
is restored
<07725> (8717)_;
and, lo
<02009>_,
[it is] even in my sack
<0572>_:
and their heart
<03820>
failed
<03318> (8799)
[them], and they were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
What [is] this [that] God
<0430>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
unto us? {failed...: Heb. went forth}
And they came
<0935> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>
their father
<01>
unto the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him all that befell
<07136> (8802)
unto them; saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The man
<0376>_,
[who is] the lord
<0113>
of the land
<0776>_,
spake
<01696> (8765)
roughly
<07186>
to us, and took
<05414> (8799)
us for spies
<07270> (8764)
of the country
<0776>_.
{roughly...: Heb. with us hard things}
And we said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We [are] true
<03651>
[men]; we are no spies
<07270> (8764)_:
We [be] twelve
<06240> <08147>
brethren
<0251>_,
sons
<01121>
of our father
<01>_;
one
<0259>
[is] not, and the youngest
<06996>
[is] this day
<03117>
with our father
<01>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And the man
<0376>_,
the lord
<0113>
of the country
<0776>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
unto us, Hereby shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that ye [are] true
<03651>
[men]; leave
<03240> (8685)
one
<0259>
of your brethren
<0251>
[here] with me, and take
<03947> (8798)
[food for] the famine
<07459>
of your households
<01004>_,
and be gone
<03212> (8798)_:
And bring
<0935> (8685)
your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
unto me: then shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that ye [are] no spies
<07270> (8764)_,
but [that] ye [are] true
<03651>
[men: so] will I deliver
<05414> (8799)
you your brother
<0251>_,
and ye shall traffick
<05503> (8799)
in the land
<0776>_.
And it came to pass as they emptied
<07324> (8688)
their sacks
<08242>_,
that, behold, every man's
<0376>
bundle
<06872>
of money
<03701>
[was] in his sack
<08242>_:
and when [both] they and their father
<01>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the bundles
<06872>
of money
<03701>_,
they were afraid
<03372> (8799)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
their father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Me have ye bereaved
<07921> (8765)
[of my children]: Joseph
<03130>
[is] not, and Simeon
<08095>
[is] not, and ye will take
<03947> (8799)
Benjamin
<01144>
[away]: all these things are against me.
And Reuben
<07205>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Slay
<04191> (8686)
my two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_,
if I bring
<0935> (8686)
him not to thee: deliver
<05414> (8798)
him into my hand
<03027>_,
and I will bring him to thee again
<07725> (8686)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
My son
<01121>
shall not go down
<03381> (8799)
with you; for his brother
<0251>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_,
and he is left
<07604> (8738)
alone: if mischief
<0611>
befall
<07122> (8804)
him by the way
<01870>
in the which ye go
<03212> (8799)_,
then shall ye bring down
<03381> (8689)
my gray hairs
<07872>
with sorrow
<03015>
to the grave
<07585>_.
And the famine
<07458>
[was] sore
<03515>
in the land
<0776>_.
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up
<03615> (8765) <0398> (8800)
the corn
<07668>
which they had brought out
<0935> (8689)
of Egypt
<04714>_,
their father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Go again
<07725> (8798)_,
buy
<07666> (8798)
us a little
<04592>
food
<0400>_.
And Judah
<03063>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The man
<0376>
did solemnly
<05749> (8687)
protest
<05749> (8689)
unto us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)
my face
<06440>_,
except
<01115>
your brother
<0251>
[be] with you. {did...: Heb. protesting protested}
If thou wilt
<03426>
send
<07971> (8764)
our brother
<0251>
with us, we will go down
<03381> (8799)
and buy
<07666> (8799)
thee food
<0400>_:
But if thou wilt not send
<07971> (8764)
[him], we will not go down
<03381> (8799)_:
for the man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto us, Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)
my face
<06440>_,
except your brother
<0251>
[be] with you.
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill
<07489> (8689)
with me, [as] to tell
<05046> (8687)
the man
<0376>
whether ye had yet a brother
<0251>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
The man
<0376>
asked
<07592> (8804)
us straitly
<07592> (8800)
of our state, and of our kindred
<04138>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[Is] your father
<01>
yet alive
<02416>_?
have ye
<03426>
[another] brother
<0251>_?
and we told
<05046> (8686)
him according
<05921>
to the tenor
<06310>
of these words
<01697>_:
could we certainly
<03045> (8800)
know
<03045> (8799)
that he would say
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring
<03381> (0)
your brother
<0251>
down
<03381> (8685)_?
{asked...: Heb. asking asked us} {tenor: Heb. mouth} {could...: Heb. knowing could we know}
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Israel
<03478>
his father
<01>_,
Send
<07971> (8798)
the lad
<05288>
with me, and we will arise
<06965> (8799)
and go
<03212> (8799)_;
that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,
and not die
<04191> (8799)_,
both we, and thou, [and] also our little ones
<02945>_.
I will be surety
<06148> (8799)
for him; of my hand
<03027>
shalt thou require
<01245> (8762)
him: if
<0518> (0)
I bring
<0935> (8689)
him not
<0518>
unto thee, and set
<03322> (8689)
him before thee
<06440>_,
then let me bear the blame
<02398> (8804)
for ever
<03117>_:
For except
<03884>
we had lingered
<04102> (8701)_,
surely now we had returned
<07725> (8804)
this second time
<06471>_.
{this: or, twice by this}
And their father
<01>
Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, If [it must be] so now
<0645>_,
do
<06213> (8798)
this; take
<03947> (8798)
of the best fruits
<02173>
in the land
<0776>
in your vessels
<03627>_,
and carry down
<03381> (8685)
the man
<0376>
a present
<04503>_,
a little
<04592>
balm
<06875>_,
and a little
<04592>
honey
<01706>_,
spices
<05219>_,
and myrrh
<03910>_,
nuts
<0992>_,
and almonds
<08247>_:
And take
<03947> (8798)
double
<04932>
money
<03701>
in your hand
<03027>_;
and the money
<03701>
that was brought again
<07725> (8716)
in the mouth
<06310>
of your sacks
<0572>_,
carry [it] again
<07725> (8686)
in your hand
<03027>_;
peradventure it [was] an oversight
<04870>_:
Take
<03947> (8798)
also your brother
<0251>_,
and arise
<06965> (8798)_,
go again
<07725> (8798)
unto the man
<0376>_:
And God
<0410>
Almighty
<07706>
give
<05414> (8799)
you mercy
<07356>
before
<06440>
the man
<0376>_,
that he may send away
<07971> (8765)
your other
<0312>
brother
<0251>_,
and Benjamin
<01144>_.
If
<0834>
I be bereaved
<07921> (8804)
[of my children], I am bereaved
<07921> (8804)_.
{If...: or, And I, as I have been, etc.}
And the men
<0582>
took
<03947> (8799)
that
<02063>
present
<04503>_,
and they took
<03947> (8804)
double
<04932>
money
<03701>
in their hand
<03027>_,
and Benjamin
<01144>_;
and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and went down
<03381> (8799)
to Egypt
<04714>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
Joseph
<03130>_.
And when Joseph
<03130>
saw
<07200> (8799)
Benjamin
<01144>
with
<0854>
them, he said
<0559> (8799)
to the ruler of his house
<01004>_,
Bring
<0935> (8685)
[these] men
<0582>
home
<01004>_,
and slay
<02873> (8800) <02874>_,
and make ready
<03559> (8685)_;
for [these] men
<0582>
shall dine
<0398> (8799)
with me at noon
<06672>_.
{slay: Heb. kill a killing} {dine: Heb. eat}
And the man
<0376>
did
<06213> (8799)
as Joseph
<03130>
bade
<0559> (8804)_;
and the man
<0376>
brought
<0935> (8686)
the men
<0582>
into Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_.
And the men
<0582>
were afraid
<03372> (8799)_,
because they were brought
<0935> (8717)
into Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_;
and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because
<01697>
of the money
<03701>
that was returned
<07725> (8802)
in our sacks
<0572>
at the first time
<08462>
are we brought in
<0935> (8716)_;
that he may seek occasion
<01556> (8705)
against us, and fall
<05307> (8692)
upon us, and take
<03947> (8800)
us for bondmen
<05650>_,
and our asses
<02543>_.
{seek...: Heb. roll himself upon us}
And they came near
<05066> (8799)
to the steward
<0376>
of Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_,
and they communed
<01696> (8762)
with him at the door
<06607>
of the house
<01004>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
O
<0994>
sir
<0113>_,
we came indeed
<03381> (8800)
down
<03381> (8804)
at the first time
<08462>
to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>_:
{we...: Heb. coming down we came down}
And it came to pass, when we came
<0935> (8804)
to the inn
<04411>_,
that we opened
<06605> (8799)
our sacks
<0572>_,
and, behold, [every] man's
<0376>
money
<03701>
[was] in the mouth
<06310>
of his sack
<0572>_,
our money
<03701>
in full weight
<04948>_:
and we have brought it again
<07725> (8686)
in our hand
<03027>_.
And other
<0312>
money
<03701>
have we brought down
<03381> (8689)
in our hands
<03027>
to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>_:
we cannot tell
<03045> (8804)
who put
<07760> (8804)
our money
<03701>
in our sacks
<0572>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Peace
<07965>
[be] to you, fear
<03372> (8799)
not: your God
<0430>_,
and the God
<0430>
of your father
<01>_,
hath given
<05414> (8804)
you treasure
<04301>
in your sacks
<0572>_:
I had
<0935> (8804)
your money
<03701>_.
And he brought
<03318> (8686)
Simeon
<08095>
out unto them. {I had...: Heb. your money came to me}
And the man
<0376>
brought
<0935> (8686)
the men
<0582>
into Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] water
<04325>_,
and they washed
<07364> (8799)
their feet
<07272>_;
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
their asses
<02543>
provender
<04554>_.
And they made ready
<03559> (8686)
the present
<04503>
against
<05704>
Joseph
<03130>
came
<0935> (8800)
at noon
<06672>_:
for they heard
<08085> (8804)
that they should eat
<0398> (8799)
bread
<03899>
there.
And when Joseph
<03130>
came
<0935> (8799)
home
<01004>_,
they brought
<0935> (8686)
him the present
<04503>
which [was] in their hand
<03027>
into the house
<01004>_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
themselves to him to the earth
<0776>_.
And he asked
<07592> (8799)
them of [their] welfare
<07965>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is] your father
<01>
well
<07965>_,
the old man
<02205>
of whom ye spake
<0559> (8804)_?
[Is] he yet alive
<02416>_?
{welfare: Heb. peace} {Is your...: Heb. Is there peace to your father?}
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servant
<05650>
our father
<01>
[is] in good health
<07965>_,
he [is] yet alive
<02416>_.
And they bowed down their heads
<06915> (8799)_,
and made obeisance
<07812> (8691)_.
And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
his brother
<0251>
Benjamin
<01144>_,
his mother's
<0517>
son
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is] this your younger
<06996>
brother
<0251>_,
of whom ye spake
<0559> (8804)
unto me? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
be gracious
<02603> (8799)
unto thee, my son
<01121>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
made haste
<04116> (8762)_;
for his bowels
<07356>
did yearn
<03648> (8738)
upon his brother
<0251>_:
and he sought
<01245> (8762)
[where] to weep
<01058> (8800)_;
and he entered
<0935> (8799)
into [his] chamber
<02315>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)
there.
And he washed
<07364> (8799)
his face
<06440>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and refrained
<0662> (8691)
himself, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Set on
<07760> (8798)
bread
<03899>_.
And they set on
<07760> (8799)
for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians
<04713>_,
which did eat
<0398> (8802)
with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians
<04713>
might
<03201> (8799)
not eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>
with the Hebrews
<05680>_;
for that [is] an abomination
<08441>
unto the Egyptians
<04714>_.
And they sat
<03427> (8799)
before him
<06440>_,
the firstborn
<01060>
according to his birthright
<01062>_,
and the youngest
<06810>
according to his youth
<06812>_:
and the men
<0582>
marvelled
<08539> (8799)
one
<0376>
at another
<07453>_.
And he took
<05375> (8799)
[and sent] messes
<04864>
unto them from before him
<06440>_:
but Benjamin's
<01144>
mess
<04864>
was five
<02568>
times
<03027>
so much as
<07235> (8799)
any of theirs. And they drank
<08354> (8799)_,
and were merry
<07937> (8799)
with him. {were...: Heb. drank largely}
And he commanded
<06680> (8762)
the steward of his house
<01004>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Fill
<04390> (8761)
the men's
<0582>
sacks
<0572>
[with] food
<0400>_,
as much as
<0834>
they can
<03201> (8799)
carry
<05375> (8800)_,
and put
<07760> (8798)
every man's
<0376>
money
<03701>
in his sack's
<0572>
mouth
<06310>_.
{the steward...: Heb. him that was over his house}
And put
<07760> (8799)
my cup
<01375>_,
the silver
<03701>
cup
<01375>_,
in the sack's
<0572>
mouth
<06310>
of the youngest
<06996>_,
and his corn
<07668>
money
<03701>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
according to the word
<01697>
that Joseph
<03130>
had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
As soon as the morning
<01242>
was light
<0215> (8804)_,
the men
<0582>
were sent away
<07971> (8795)_,
they and their asses
<02543>_.
[And] when they were gone out
<03318> (8804)
of the city
<05892>_,
[and] not [yet] far off
<07368> (8689)_,
Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto his steward
<01004>_,
Up
<06965> (8798)_,
follow
<07291> (8798)
after
<0310>
the men
<0582>_;
and when thou dost overtake
<05381> (8689)
them, say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded
<07999> (8765)
evil
<07451>
for good
<02896>_?
[Is] not this [it] in which my lord
<0113>
drinketh
<08354> (8799)_,
and whereby indeed
<05172> (8763)
he divineth
<05172> (8762)_?
ye have done evil
<07489> (8689)
in so doing
<06213> (8804)_.
{divineth: or, maketh trial?}
And he overtook
<05381> (8686)
them, and he spake
<01696> (8762)
unto them these same
<0428>
words
<01697>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Wherefore saith
<01696> (8762)
my lord
<0113>
these words
<01697>_?
God forbid
<02486>
that thy servants
<05650>
should do
<06213> (8800)
according to this thing
<01697>_:
Behold, the money
<03701>_,
which we found
<04672> (8804)
in our sacks
<0572>_'
mouths
<06310>_,
we brought again
<07725> (8689)
unto thee out of the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_:
how then should we steal
<01589> (8799)
out of thy lord's
<0113>
house
<01004>
silver
<03701>
or gold
<02091>_?
With whomsoever of thy servants
<05650>
it be found
<04672> (8735)_,
both let him die
<04191> (8804)_,
and we also will be my lord's
<0113>
bondmen
<05650>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words
<01697>_:
he with whom it is found
<04672> (8735)
shall be my servant
<05650>_;
and ye shall be blameless
<05355>_.
Then they speedily
<04116> (8762)
took down
<03381> (8686)
every man
<0376>
his sack
<0572>
to the ground
<0776>_,
and opened
<06605> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his sack
<0572>_.
And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,
[and] began
<02490> (8689)
at the eldest
<01419>_,
and left
<03615> (8765)
at the youngest
<06996>_:
and the cup
<01375>
was found
<04672> (8735)
in Benjamin's
<01144>
sack
<0572>_.
Then they rent
<07167> (8799)
their clothes
<08071>_,
and laded
<06006> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his ass
<02543>_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)
to the city
<05892>_.
And Judah
<03063>
and his brethren
<0251>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_;
for he [was] yet there: and they fell
<05307> (8799)
before him
<06440>
on the ground
<0776>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, What deed
<04639>
[is] this that ye have done
<06213> (8804)_?
wot ye
<03045> (8804)
not that such a man
<0376>
as I can certainly
<05172> (8763)
divine
<05172> (8762)_?
{divine: or, make trial?}
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall we say
<0559> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>_?
what shall we speak
<01696> (8762)_?
or how shall we clear ourselves
<06663> (8691)_?
God
<0430>
hath found out
<04672> (8804)
the iniquity
<05771>
of thy servants
<05650>_:
behold, we [are] my lord's
<0113>
servants
<05650>_,
both we, and [he] also
<01571>
with whom
<0834> <03027>
the cup
<01375>
is found
<04672> (8738)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
God forbid
<02486>
that I should do
<06213> (8800)
so
<02063>_:
[but] the man
<0376>
in whose hand
<03027>
the cup
<01375>
is found
<04672> (8738)_,
he shall be my servant
<05650>_;
and as for you, get you up
<05927> (8798)
in peace
<07965>
unto your father
<01>_.
Then Judah
<03063>
came near
<05066> (8799)
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Oh
<0994>
my lord
<0113>_,
let thy servant
<05650>_,
I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)
a word
<01697>
in my lord's
<0113>
ears
<0241>_,
and let not thine anger
<0639>
burn
<02734> (8799)
against thy servant
<05650>_:
for thou [art] even as Pharaoh
<06547>_.
My lord
<0113>
asked
<07592> (8804)
his servants
<05650>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Have
<03426>
ye a father
<01>_,
or a brother
<0251>_?
And we said
<0559> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>_,
We have
<03426>
a father
<01>_,
an old man
<02205>_,
and a child
<03206>
of his old age
<02208>_,
a little one
<06996>_;
and his brother
<0251>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_,
and he alone is left
<03498> (8735)
of his mother
<0517>_,
and his father
<01>
loveth
<0157> (8804)
him.
And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)
unto thy servants
<05650>_,
Bring him down
<03381> (8685)
unto me, that I may set
<07760> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>
upon him.
And we said
<0559> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>_,
The lad
<05288>
cannot
<03201> (8799)
leave
<05800> (8800)
his father
<01>_:
for [if] he should leave
<05800> (8804)
his father
<01>_,
[his father] would die
<04191> (8804)_.
And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)
unto thy servants
<05650>_,
Except
<03808>
your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
come down
<03381> (8799)
with you, ye shall see
<07200> (0) <03254> (0)
my face
<06440>
no more
<07200> (8800) <03254> (8686)_.
And it came to pass when we came up
<05927> (8804)
unto thy servant
<05650>
my father
<01>_,
we told
<05046> (8686)
him the words
<01697>
of my lord
<0113>_.
And our father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go again
<07725> (8798)_,
[and] buy
<07666> (8798)
us a little
<04592>
food
<0400>_.
And we said
<0559> (8799)_,
We cannot
<03201> (8799)
go down
<03381> (8800)_:
if our youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
be
<03426>
with us, then will we go down
<03381> (8804)_:
for we may
<03201> (8799)
not see
<07200> (8800)
the man's
<0376>
face
<06440>_,
except
<0369>
our youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
[be] with us.
And thy servant
<05650>
my father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto us, Ye know
<03045> (8804)
that my wife
<0802>
bare
<03205> (8804)
me two
<08147>
[sons]:
And the one
<0259>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from me, and I said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely
<02963> (8800)
he is torn in pieces
<02963> (8776)_;
and I saw him
<07200> (8804)
not since
<02008>_:
And if ye take
<03947> (8804)
this also from
<05973>
me
<06440>_,
and mischief
<0611>
befall him
<07136> (8804)_,
ye shall bring down
<03381> (8689)
my gray hairs
<07872>
with sorrow
<07451>
to the grave
<07585>_.
Now therefore when I come
<0935> (8800)
to thy servant
<05650>
my father
<01>_,
and the lad
<05288>
[be] not with us; seeing that his life
<05315>
is bound up
<07194> (8803)
in the lad's life
<05315>_;
It shall come to pass, when he seeth
<07200> (8800)
that the lad
<05288>
[is] not [with us], that he will die
<04191> (8804)_:
and thy servants
<05650>
shall bring down
<03381> (8689)
the gray hairs
<07872>
of thy servant
<05650>
our father
<01>
with sorrow
<03015>
to the grave
<07585>_.
For thy servant
<05650>
became surety
<06148> (8804)
for the lad
<05288>
unto
<05973>
my father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If I bring
<0935> (8686)
him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame
<02398> (8804)
to my father
<01>
for ever
<03117>_.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
<05650>
abide
<03427> (8799)
instead of the lad
<05288>
a bondman
<05650>
to my lord
<0113>_;
and let the lad
<05288>
go up
<05927> (8799)
with his brethren
<0251>_.
For how
<0349>
shall I go up
<05927> (8799)
to my father
<01>_,
and the lad
<05288>
[be] not with me? lest peradventure I see
<07200> (8799)
the evil
<07451>
that shall come on
<04672> (8799)
my father
<01>_.
{come...: Heb. find my father}
Then Joseph
<03130>
could
<03201> (8804)
not refrain
<0662> (8692)
himself before all them that stood
<05324> (8737)
by him; and he cried
<07121> (8799)_,
Cause
<03318> (0)
every man
<0376>
to go out
<03318> (8685)
from me. And there stood
<05975> (8804)
no man
<0376>
with him, while Joseph
<03130>
made himself known
<03045> (8692)
unto his brethren
<0251>_.
And he wept
<06963> <01065>
aloud
<05414> (8799)_:
and the Egyptians
<04714>
and the house
<01004>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
heard
<08085> (8799) <08085> (8799)_.
{wept...: Heb. gave forth his voice in weeping}
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
I [am] Joseph
<03130>_;
doth my father
<01>
yet live
<02416>_?
And his brethren
<0251>
could
<03201> (8804)
not answer
<06030> (8800)
him; for they were troubled
<0926> (8738)
at his presence
<06440>_.
{troubled: or, terrified}
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
Come near
<05066> (8798)
to me, I pray you. And they came near
<05066> (8799)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] Joseph
<03130>
your brother
<0251>_,
whom ye sold
<04376> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_.
Now therefore be not grieved
<06087> (8735)_,
nor angry
<02734> (8799)
with yourselves
<05869>_,
that ye sold
<04376> (8804)
me hither: for God
<0430>
did send
<07971> (8804)
me before you
<06440>
to preserve life
<04241>_.
{nor...: Heb. neither let there be anger in your eyes}
For these two years
<08141>
[hath] the famine
<07458>
[been] in
<07130>
the land
<0776>_:
and yet [there are] five
<02568>
years
<08141>_,
in the which [there shall] neither
<0369>
[be] earing
<02758>
nor harvest
<07105>_.
And God
<0430>
sent
<07971> (8799)
me before you
<06440>
to preserve
<07760> (8800)
you a posterity
<07611>
in the earth
<0776>_,
and to save your lives
<02421> (8687)
by a great
<01419>
deliverance
<06413>_.
{to preserve...: Heb. to put for you a remnant}
So now [it was] not you [that] sent
<07971> (8804)
me hither, but God
<0430>_:
and he hath made
<07760> (8799)
me a father
<01>
to Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and lord
<0113>
of all his house
<01004>_,
and a ruler
<04910> (8802)
throughout all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Haste
<04116> (8761)
ye, and go up
<05927> (8798)
to my father
<01>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
thy son
<01121>
Joseph
<03130>_,
God
<0430>
hath made
<07760> (8804)
me lord
<0113>
of all Egypt
<04714>_:
come down
<03381> (8798)
unto me, tarry
<05975> (8799)
not:
And thou shalt dwell
<03427> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>_,
and thou shalt be near
<07138>
unto me, thou, and thy children
<01121>_,
and thy children's
<01121>
children
<01121>_,
and thy flocks
<06629>_,
and thy herds
<01241>_,
and all that thou hast:
And there will I nourish
<03557> (8773)
thee; for yet [there are] five
<02568>
years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>_;
lest thou, and thy household
<01004>_,
and all that thou hast, come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_.
And, behold, your eyes
<05869>
see
<07200> (8802)_,
and the eyes
<05869>
of my brother
<0251>
Benjamin
<01144>_,
that [it is] my mouth
<06310>
that speaketh
<01696> (8764)
unto you.
And ye shall tell
<05046> (8689)
my father
<01>
of all my glory
<03519>
in Egypt
<04714>_,
and of all that ye have seen
<07200> (8804)_;
and ye shall haste
<04116> (8765)
and bring down
<03381> (8689)
my father
<01>
hither.
And he fell
<05307> (8799)
upon his brother
<0251>
Benjamin's
<01144>
neck
<06677>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_;
and Benjamin
<01144>
wept
<01058> (8804)
upon his neck
<06677>_.
Moreover he kissed
<05401> (8762)
all his brethren
<0251>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)
upon them: and after
<0310>
that his brethren
<0251>
talked
<01696> (8765)
with him.
And the fame
<06963>
thereof was heard
<08085> (8738)
in Pharaoh's
<06547>
house
<01004>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Joseph's
<03130>
brethren
<0251>
are come
<0935> (8804)_:
and it pleased
<03190> (0) <05869> (0)
Pharaoh
<06547>
well
<03190> (8799) <05869>_,
and
<05869>
his servants
<05650>_.
{pleased...: Heb. was good in the eyes of Pharaoh}
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
Say
<0559> (8798)
unto thy brethren
<0251>_,
This do
<06213> (8798)
ye; lade
<02943> (8798)
your beasts
<01165>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)_,
get
<0935> (8798)
you unto the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
And take
<03947> (8798)
your father
<01>
and your households
<01004>_,
and come
<0935> (8798)
unto me: and I will give
<05414> (8799)
you the good
<02898>
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and ye shall eat
<0398> (8798)
the fat
<02459>
of the land
<0776>_.
Now thou art commanded
<06680> (8795)_,
this do
<06213> (8798)
ye; take
<03947> (8798)
you wagons
<05699>
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
for your little ones
<02945>_,
and for your wives
<0802>_,
and bring
<05375> (8804)
your father
<01>_,
and come
<0935> (8804)_.
Also
<05869>
regard
<02347> (8799)
not your stuff
<03627>_;
for the good
<02898>
of all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
[is] yours. {regard...: Heb. let not your eye spare, etc.}
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did
<06213> (8799)
so: and Joseph
<03130>
gave
<05414> (8799)
them wagons
<05699>_,
according to the commandment
<06310>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
them provision
<06720>
for the way
<01870>_.
{commandment: Heb. mouth}
To all of them he gave
<05414> (8804)
each man
<0376>
changes
<02487>
of raiment
<08071>_;
but to Benjamin
<01144>
he gave
<05414> (8804)
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,
and five
<02568>
changes
<02487>
of raiment
<08071>_.
And to his father
<01>
he sent
<07971> (8804)
after this
<02063>
[manner]; ten
<06235>
asses
<0860>
laden
<05375> (8802)
with the good things
<02898>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and ten
<06235>
she asses
<02543>
laden
<05375> (8802)
with corn
<01250>
and bread
<03899>
and meat
<04202>
for his father
<01>
by the way
<01870>_.
{laden...: Heb. carrying}
So he sent
<07971> (0)
his brethren
<0251>
away
<07971> (8762)_,
and they departed
<03212> (8799)_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, See that ye fall not out
<07264> (8799)
by the way
<01870>_.
And they went up
<05927> (8799)
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
unto Jacob
<03290>
their father
<01>_,
And told
<05046> (8686)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Joseph
<03130>
[is] yet alive
<02416>_,
and he [is] governor
<04910> (8802)
over all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Jacob's heart
<03820>
fainted
<06313> (8799)_,
for he believed
<0539> (8689)
them not. {Jacob's: Heb. his}
And they told
<01696> (8762)
him all the words
<01697>
of Joseph
<03130>_,
which he had said
<01696> (8765)
unto them: and when he saw
<07200> (8799)
the wagons
<05699>
which Joseph
<03130>
had sent
<07971> (8804)
to carry
<05375> (8800)
him, the spirit
<07307>
of Jacob
<03290>
their father
<01>
revived
<02421> (8799)_:
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] enough
<07227>_;
Joseph
<03130>
my son
<01121>

And Israel

And he said

I [am] God
<0410>_,
the God
<0430>
of thy father
<01>_:
fear
<03372> (8799)
not to go down
<03381> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_;
for I will there make
<07760> (8799)
of thee a great
<01419>
nation
<01471>_:
I will go down
<03381> (8799)
with thee into Egypt

bring thee up

[again]: and Joseph
<03130>
shall put

<03130>_,
Now
<06471>
let me die
<04191> (8799)_,
since

And Joseph

said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
and unto his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
I will go up
<05927> (8799)_,
and shew
<05046> (8686)
Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and say
<0559> (8799)
unto him, My brethren
<0251>_,
and my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
which [were] in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
are come
<0935> (8804)
unto me;
And the men
<0582>
[are] shepherds
<07462> (8802) <06629>_,
for their trade hath been to feed cattle
<04735>_;
and they have brought
<0935> (8689)
their flocks
<06629>_,
and their herds
<01241>_,
and all that they have. {their trade...: Heb. they are men of cattle}
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh
<06547>
shall call
<07121> (8799)
you, and shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
What [is] your occupation
<04639>_?
That ye shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thy servants
<05650>_'
trade
<0582>
hath been about cattle
<04735>
from our youth
<05271>
even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers
<01>_:
that ye may dwell
<03427> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>_;
for every shepherd
<07462> (8802) <06629>
[is] an abomination
<08441>
unto the Egyptians
<04714>_.
Then Joseph
<03130>
came
<0935> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
My father
<01>
and my brethren
<0251>_,
and their flocks
<06629>_,
and their herds
<01241>_,
and all that they have, are come out
<0935> (8804)
of the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
and, behold, they [are] in the land
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>_.
And he took
<03947> (8804)
some
<07097>
of his brethren
<0251>_,
[even] five
<02568>
men
<0582>_,
and presented
<03322> (8686)
them unto
<06440>
Pharaoh
<06547>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
What [is] your occupation
<04639>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
Thy servants
<05650>
[are] shepherds
<07462> (8802) <06629>_,
both we, [and] also our fathers
<01>_.
They said
<0559> (8799)
moreover unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
For to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
in the land
<0776>
are we come
<0935> (8804)_;
for thy servants
<05650>
have no pasture
<04829>
for their flocks
<06629>_;
for the famine
<07458>
[is] sore
<03515>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_:
now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants
<05650>
dwell
<03427> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thy father
<01>
and thy brethren
<0251>
are come
<0935> (8804)
unto thee:
The land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
[is] before thee
<06440>_;
in the best
<04315>
of the land
<0776>
make
<03427> (0)
thy father
<01>
and brethren
<0251>
to dwell
<03427> (8685)_;
in the land
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>
let them dwell
<03427> (8799)_:
and if thou knowest
<03045> (8804) <03426>
[any] men
<0582>
of activity
<02428>
among them, then make them
<07760> (8804)
rulers
<08269>
over my cattle
<04735>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
brought in
<0935> (8686)
Jacob
<03290>
his father
<01>_,
and set him
<05975> (8686)
before
<06440>
Pharaoh
<06547>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
Pharaoh
<06547>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
How
<04100>
old
<02416> <03117> <08141>
[art] thou? {How...: Heb. How many are the days of the years of thy life?}
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
The days
<03117>
of the years
<08141>
of my pilgrimage
<04033>
[are] an hundred
<03967>
and thirty
<07970>
years
<08141>_:
few
<04592>
and evil
<07451>
have the days
<03117>
of the years
<08141>
of my life
<02416>
been, and have not attained
<05381> (8689)
unto the days
<03117>
of the years
<08141>
of the life
<02416>
of my fathers
<01>
in the days
<03117>
of their pilgrimage
<04033>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)
from before
<06440>
Pharaoh
<06547>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
placed
<03427> (8686)
his father
<01>
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
them a possession
<0272>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
in the best
<04315>
of the land
<0776>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Rameses
<07486>_,
as Pharaoh
<06547>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
And Joseph
<03130>
nourished
<03557> (8770)
his father
<01>_,
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and all his father's
<01>
household
<01004>_,
with bread
<03899>_,
according
<06310>
to [their] families
<02945>_.
{according...: or, as a little child is nourished: Heb. according to the little ones}
And [there was] no bread
<03899>
in all the land
<0776>_;
for the famine
<07458>
[was] very
<03966>
sore
<03515>_,
so that the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
and [all] the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
fainted
<03856> (8799)
by reason
<06440>
of the famine
<07458>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
gathered up
<03950> (8762)
all the money
<03701>
that was found
<04672> (8737)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
for the corn
<07668>
which they bought
<07666> (8802)_:
and Joseph
<03130>
brought
<0935> (8686)
the money
<03701>
into Pharaoh's
<06547>
house
<01004>_.
And when money
<03701>
failed
<08552> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
all the Egyptians
<04714>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
and said
<0559> (8800)_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
us bread
<03899>_:
for why should we die
<04191> (8799)
in thy presence? for the money
<03701>
faileth
<0656> (8804)_.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
your cattle
<04735>_;
and I will give
<05414> (8799)
you for your cattle
<04735>_,
if money
<03701>
fail
<0656> (8804)_.
And they brought
<0935> (8686)
their cattle
<04735>
unto Joseph
<03130>_:
and Joseph
<03130>
gave
<05414> (8799)
them bread
<03899>
[in exchange] for horses
<05483>_,
and for the flocks
<06629>_,
and for the cattle
<04735>
of the herds
<01241>_,
and for the asses
<02543>_:
and he fed
<05095> (8762)
them with bread
<03899>
for all their cattle
<04735>
for that year
<08141>_.
{fed...: Heb. led them}
When that year
<08141>
was ended
<08552> (8799)_,
they came
<0935> (8799)
unto him the second
<08145>
year
<08141>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We will not hide
<03582> (8762)
[it] from my lord
<0113>_,
how that our money
<03701>
is spent
<08552> (8804)_;
my lord
<0113>
also hath
<0413>
our herds
<04735>
of cattle
<0929>_;
there is not ought left
<07604> (8738)
in the sight
<06440>
of my lord
<0113>_,
but our bodies
<01472>_,
and our lands
<0127>_:
Wherefore shall we die
<04191> (8799)
before thine eyes
<05869>_,
both we and our land
<0127>_?
buy
<07069> (8798)
us and our land
<0127>
for bread
<03899>_,
and we and our land
<0127>
will be servants
<05650>
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_:
and give
<05414> (8798)
[us] seed
<02233>_,
that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,
and not die
<04191> (8799)_,
that the land
<0127>
be not desolate
<03456> (8799)_.
And Joseph
<03130>
bought
<07069> (8799)
all the land
<0127>
of Egypt
<04714>
for Pharaoh
<06547>_;
for the Egyptians
<04714>
sold
<04376> (8804)
every man
<0376>
his field
<07704>_,
because the famine
<07458>
prevailed
<02388> (8804)
over them: so the land
<0776>
became Pharaoh's
<06547>_.
And as for the people
<05971>_,
he removed
<05674> (8689)
them to cities
<05892>
from [one] end
<07097>
of the borders
<01366>
of Egypt
<04714>
even to the [other] end
<07097>
thereof.
Only the land
<0127>
of the priests
<03548>
bought he
<07069> (8804)
not; for the priests
<03548>
had a portion
<02706>
[assigned them] of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8804)
their portion
<02706>
which Pharaoh
<06547>
gave
<05414> (8804)
them: wherefore they sold
<04376> (8804)
not their lands
<0127>_.
{priests: or, princes}
Then Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
Behold, I have bought
<07069> (8804) <0853>
you this day
<03117>
and your land
<0127>
for Pharaoh
<06547>_:
lo
<01887>_,
[here is] seed
<02233>
for you, and ye shall sow
<02232> (8804)
the land
<0127>_.
And it shall come to pass in the increase
<08393>_,
that ye shall give
<05414> (8804)
the fifth
<02549>
[part] unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and four
<0702>
parts
<03027>
shall be your own, for seed
<02233>
of the field
<07704>_,
and for your food
<0400>_,
and for them of your households
<01004>_,
and for food
<0398> (8800)
for your little ones
<02945>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou hast saved our lives
<02421> (8689)_:
let us find
<04672> (8799)
grace
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of my lord
<0113>_,
and we will be Pharaoh's
<06547>
servants
<05650>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
made
<07760> (8799)
it a law
<02706>
over the land
<0127>
of Egypt
<04714>
unto this day
<03117>_,
[that] Pharaoh
<06547>
should have the fifth
<02569>
[part]; except
<07535>
the land
<0127>
of the priests
<03548>
only, [which] became not Pharaoh's
<06547>_.
{priests: or, princes}
And Israel
<03478>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
in the country
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>_;
and they had possessions
<0270> (8735)
therein, and grew
<06509> (8799)_,
and multiplied
<07235> (8799)
exceedingly
<03966>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
lived
<02421> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
seventeen
<06240> <07651>
years
<08141>_:
so the whole age
<02416> <03117>
of Jacob
<03290>
was an hundred
<03967>
forty
<0705> <08141>
and seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_.
{the whole...: Heb. the days of the years of his life}
And the time
<03117>
drew nigh
<07126> (8799)
that Israel
<03478>
must die
<04191> (8800)_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
his son
<01121>
Joseph
<03130>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, If now I have found
<04672> (8804)
grace
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_,
put
<07760> (8798)_,
I pray thee, thy hand
<03027>
under my thigh
<03409>_,
and deal
<06213> (8804)
kindly
<02617>
and truly
<0571>
with me; bury
<06912> (8799)
me not, I pray thee, in Egypt
<04714>_:
But I will lie
<07901> (8804)
with my fathers
<01>_,
and thou shalt carry
<05375> (8804)
me out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and bury
<06912> (8804)
me in their buryingplace
<06900>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will do
<06213> (8799)
as thou hast said
<01697>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Swear
<07650> (8734)
unto me. And he sware
<07650> (8735)
unto him. And Israel
<03478>
bowed
<07812> (8691)
himself upon the bed's
<04296>
head
<07218>_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
that [one] told
<0559> (8799)
Joseph
<03130>_,
Behold, thy father
<01>
[is] sick
<02470> (8802)_:
and he took
<03947> (8799)
with him his two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_,
Manasseh
<04519>
and Ephraim
<0669>_.
And [one] told
<05046> (8686)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, thy son
<01121>
Joseph
<03130>
cometh
<0935> (8802)
unto thee: and Israel
<03478>
strengthened
<02388> (8691)
himself, and sat
<03427> (8799)
upon the bed
<04296>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
God
<0410>
Almighty
<07706>
appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto me at Luz
<03870>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
me,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful
<06509> (8688)_,
and multiply
<07235> (8689)
thee, and I will make
<05414> (8804)
of thee a multitude
<06951>
of people
<05971>_;
and will give
<05414> (8804)
this land
<0776>
to thy seed
<02233>
after thee
<0310>
[for] an everlasting
<05769>
possession
<0272>_.
And now thy two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_,
Ephraim
<0669>
and Manasseh
<04519>_,
which were born
<03205> (8737)
unto thee in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
before
<05704>
I came
<0935> (8800)
unto thee into Egypt
<04714>_,
[are] mine; as Reuben
<07205>
and Simeon
<08095>_,
they shall be mine.
And thy issue
<04138>_,
which thou begettest
<03205> (8689)
after
<0310>
them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called
<07121> (8735)
after
<05921>
the name
<08034>
of their brethren
<0251>
in their inheritance
<05159>_.
And as for me, when I came
<0935> (8800)
from Padan
<06307>_,
Rachel
<07354>
died
<04191> (8804)
by me in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
in the way
<01870>_,
when
<05750>
yet [there was] but a little
<03530>
way
<0776>
to come
<0935> (8800)
unto Ephrath
<0672>_:
and I buried her
<06912> (8799)
there in the way
<01870>
of Ephrath
<0672>_;
the same [is] Bethlehem
<01035>_.
And Israel
<03478>
beheld
<07200> (8799)
Joseph's
<03130>
sons
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [are] these?
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
They [are] my sons
<01121>_,
whom God
<0430>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me in this [place]. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring them
<03947> (8798)_,
I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless
<01288> (8762)
them.
Now the eyes
<05869>
of Israel
<03478>
were dim
<03513> (8804)
for age
<02207>_,
[so that] he could
<03201> (8799)
not see
<07200> (8800)_.
And he brought them near
<05066> (8686)
unto him; and he kissed
<05401> (8799)
them, and embraced
<02263> (8762)
them. {dim: Heb. heavy}
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
I had not thought
<06419> (8765)
to see
<07200> (8800)
thy face
<06440>_:
and, lo, God
<0430>
hath shewed
<07200> (8689)
me also thy seed
<02233>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
brought them out
<03318> (8686)
from between
<05973>
his knees
<01290>_,
and he bowed
<07812> (8691)
himself with his face
<0639>
to the earth
<0776>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
took
<03947> (8799)
them both
<08147>_,
Ephraim
<0669>
in his right hand
<03225>
toward Israel's
<03478>
left hand
<08040>_,
and Manasseh
<04519>
in his left hand
<08040>
toward Israel's
<03478>
right hand
<03225>_,
and brought [them] near
<05066> (8686)
unto him.
And Israel
<03478>
stretched out
<07971> (8799)
his right hand
<03225>_,
and laid
<07896> (8799)
[it] upon Ephraim's
<0669>
head
<07218>_,
who [was] the younger
<06810>_,
and his left hand
<08040>
upon Manasseh's
<04519>
head
<07218>_,
guiding
<07919> (0)
his hands
<03027>
wittingly
<07919> (8765)_;
for Manasseh
<04519>
[was] the firstborn
<01060>_.
And he blessed
<01288> (8762)
Joseph
<03130>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>_,
before
<06440>
whom my fathers
<01>
Abraham
<085>
and Isaac
<03327>
did walk
<01980> (8694)_,
the God
<0430>
which fed
<07462> (8802)
me all my life long
<05750>
unto this day
<03117>_,
The Angel
<04397>
which redeemed
<01350> (8802)
me from all evil
<07451>_,
bless
<01288> (8762)
the lads
<05288>_;
and let my name
<08034>
be named
<07121> (8735)
on them, and the name
<08034>
of my fathers
<01>
Abraham
<085>
and Isaac
<03327>_;
and let them grow
<01711> (8799)
into a multitude
<07230>
in the midst
<07130>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{grow: Heb. as fishes do increase}
And when Joseph
<03130>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that his father
<01>
laid
<07896> (8799)
his right
<03225>
hand
<03027>
upon the head
<07218>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
it displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>
him: and he held up
<08551> (8799)
his father's
<01>
hand
<03027>_,
to remove
<05493> (8687)
it from Ephraim's
<0669>
head
<07218>
unto Manasseh's
<04519>
head
<07218>_.
{displeased...: was evil in his eyes}
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Not so, my father
<01>_:
for this [is] the firstborn
<01060>_;
put
<07760> (8798)
thy right hand
<03225>
upon his head
<07218>_.
And his father
<01>
refused
<03985> (8762)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
[it], my son
<01121>_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
[it]: he also shall become a people
<05971>_,
and he also shall be great
<01431> (8799)_:
but truly
<0199>
his younger
<06996>
brother
<0251>
shall be greater
<01431> (8799)
than he, and his seed
<02233>
shall become a multitude
<04393>
of nations
<01471>_.
{multitude: Heb. fulness}
And he blessed
<01288> (8762)
them that day
<03117>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
In thee shall Israel
<03478>
bless
<01288> (8762)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
God
<0430>
make
<07760> (8799)
thee as Ephraim
<0669>
and as Manasseh
<04519>_:
and he set
<07760> (8799)
Ephraim
<0669>
before
<06440>
Manasseh
<04519>_.
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
Behold, I die
<04191> (8801)_:
but God
<0430>
shall be with you, and bring you again
<07725> (8689)
unto the land
<0776>
of your fathers
<01>_.
Moreover I have given
<05414> (8804)
to thee one
<0259>
portion
<07926>
above thy brethren
<0251>_,
which I took
<03947> (8804)
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Amorite
<0567>
with my sword
<02719>
and with my bow
<07198>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto his sons
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Gather yourselves together
<0622> (8734)_,
that I may tell
<05046> (8686)
you [that] which shall befall
<07122> (8799)
you in the last
<0319>
days
<03117>_.
Gather yourselves together
<06908> (8734)_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)_,
ye sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>_;
and hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto Israel
<03478>
your father
<01>_.
Reuben
<07205>_,
thou [art] my firstborn
<01060>_,
my might
<03581>_,
and the beginning
<07225>
of my strength
<0202>_,
the excellency
<03499>
of dignity
<07613>_,
and the excellency
<03499>
of power
<05794>_:
Unstable
<06349>
as water
<04325>_,
thou shalt not excel
<03498> (8686)_;
because thou wentest up
<05927> (8804)
to thy father's
<01>
bed
<04904>_;
then defiledst thou
<02490> (8765)
[it]: he went up
<05927> (8804)
to my couch
<03326>_.
{thou shalt...: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went...: or, my couch is gone}
Simeon
<08095>
and Levi
<03878>
[are] brethren
<0251>_;
instruments
<03627>
of cruelty
<02555>
[are in] their habitations
<04380>_.
{instruments...: or, their swords are weapons of violence}
O my soul
<05315>_,
come
<0935> (8799)
not thou into their secret
<05475>_;
unto their assembly
<06951>_,
mine honour
<03519>_,
be not thou united
<03161> (8799)_:
for in their anger
<0639>
they slew
<02026> (8804)
a man
<0376>_,
and in their selfwill
<07522>
they digged down
<06131> (8765)
a wall
<07794>_.
{digged...: or, houghed oxen}
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] their anger
<0639>_,
for [it was] fierce
<05794>_;
and their wrath
<05678>_,
for it was cruel
<07185> (8804)_:
I will divide
<02505> (8762)
them in Jacob
<03290>_,
and scatter
<06327> (8686)
them in Israel
<03478>_.
Judah
<03063>_,
thou [art he] whom thy brethren
<0251>
shall praise
<03034> (8686)_:
thy hand
<03027>
[shall be] in the neck
<06203>
of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
thy father's
<01>
children
<01121>
shall bow down
<07812> (8691)
before thee.
Judah
<03063>
[is] a lion's
<0738>
whelp
<01482>_:
from the prey
<02964>_,
my son
<01121>_,
thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_:
he stooped down
<03766> (8804)_,
he couched
<07257> (8804)
as a lion
<0738>_,
and as an old lion
<03833>_;
who shall rouse him up
<06965> (8686)_?
The sceptre
<07626>
shall not depart
<05493> (8799)
from Judah
<03063>_,
nor a lawgiver
<02710> (8781)
from between his feet
<07272>_,
until
<03588>
Shiloh
<07886>
come
<0935> (8799)_;
and unto him [shall] the gathering
<03349>
of the people
<05971>
[be].
Binding
<0631> (8802)
his foal
<05895>
unto the vine
<01612>_,
and his ass's
<0860>
colt
<01121>
unto the choice vine
<08321>_;
he washed
<03526> (8765)
his garments
<03830>
in wine
<03196>_,
and his clothes
<05497>
in the blood
<01818>
of grapes
<06025>_:
His eyes
<05869>
[shall be] red
<02447>
with wine
<03196>_,
and his teeth
<08127>
white
<03836>
with milk
<02461>_.
Zebulun
<02074>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
at the haven
<02348>
of the sea
<03220>_;
and he [shall be] for an haven
<02348>
of ships
<0591>_;
and his border
<03411>
[shall be] unto Zidon
<06721>_.
Issachar
<03485>
[is] a strong
<01634>
ass
<02543>
couching down
<07257> (8802)
between two burdens
<04942>_:
And he saw
<07200> (8799)
that rest
<04496>
[was] good
<02896>_,
and the land
<0776>
that [it was] pleasant
<05276> (8804)_;
and bowed
<05186> (8799)
his shoulder
<07926>
to bear
<05445> (8800)_,
and became a servant
<05647> (8802)
unto tribute
<04522>_.
Dan
<01835>
shall judge
<01777> (8799)
his people
<05971>_,
as one
<0259>
of the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Dan
<01835>
shall be a serpent
<05175>
by the way
<01870>_,
an adder
<08207>
in the path
<0734>_,
that biteth
<05391> (8802)
the horse
<05483>
heels
<06119>_,
so that his rider
<07392> (8802)
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
backward
<0268>_.
{an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}
I have waited for
<06960> (8765)
thy salvation
<03444>_,
O LORD
<03068>_.
Gad
<01410>_,
a troop
<01416>
shall overcome
<01464> (8799)
him: but he shall overcome
<01464> (8799)
at the last
<06119>_.
Out of Asher
<0836>
his bread
<03899>
[shall be] fat
<08082>_,
and he shall yield
<05414> (8799)
royal
<04428>
dainties
<04574>_.
Naphtali
<05321>
[is] a hind
<0355>
let loose
<07971> (8803)_:
he giveth
<05414> (8802)
goodly
<08233>
words
<0561>_.
Joseph
<03130>
[is] a fruitful
<06509> (8802)
bough
<01121>_,
[even] a fruitful
<06509> (8802)
bough
<01121>
by a well
<05869>_;
[whose] branches
<01323>
run
<06805> (8804)
over the wall
<07791>_:
{branches: Heb. daughters}
The archers
<01167> <02671>
have sorely grieved him
<04843> (8762)_,
and shot
<07232> (8804)
[at him], and hated him
<07852> (8799)_:
But his bow
<07198>
abode
<03427> (8799)
in strength
<0386>_,
and the arms
<02220>
of his hands
<03027>
were made strong
<06339> (8799)
by the hands
<03027>
of the mighty
<046>
[God] of Jacob
<03290>_;
(from thence [is] the shepherd
<07462> (8802)_,
the stone
<068>
of Israel
<03478>:)
[Even] by the God
<0410>
of thy father
<01>_,
who shall help
<05826> (8799)
thee; and by
<0854>
the Almighty
<07706>_,
who shall bless
<01288> (8762)
thee with blessings
<01293>
of heaven
<08064>
above
<05920>_,
blessings
<01293>
of the deep
<08415>
that lieth
<07257> (8802)
under, blessings
<01293>
of the breasts
<07699>_,
and of the womb
<07356>_:
The blessings
<01293>
of thy father
<01>
have prevailed
<01396> (8804)
above the blessings
<01293>
of my progenitors
<02029> (8802)
unto the utmost bound
<08379>
of the everlasting
<05769>
hills
<01389>_:
they shall be on the head
<07218>
of Joseph
<03130>_,
and on the crown of the head
<06936>
of him that was separate
<05139>
from his brethren
<0251>_.
Benjamin
<01144>
shall ravin
<02963> (8799)
[as] a wolf
<02061>_:
in the morning
<01242>
he shall devour
<0398> (8799)
the prey
<05706>_,
and at night
<06153>
he shall divide
<02505> (8762)
the spoil
<07998>_.
All these [are] the twelve
<06240> <08147>
tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and this [is it] that their father
<01>
spake
<01696> (8765)
unto them, and blessed
<01288> (8762)
them; every
<0834>
one
<0376>
according to his blessing
<01293>
he blessed
<01288> (8765)
them.
And he charged
<06680> (8762)
them, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I am to be gathered
<0622> (8737)
unto my people
<05971>_:
bury
<06912> (8798)
me with my fathers
<01>
in the cave
<04631>
that [is] in the field
<07704>
of Ephron
<06085>
the Hittite
<02850>_,
In the cave
<04631>
that [is] in the field
<07704>
of Machpelah
<04375>_,
which [is] before
<06440>
Mamre
<04471>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
which Abraham
<085>
bought
<07069> (8804)
with the field
<07704>
of Ephron
<06085>
the Hittite
<02850>
for a possession
<0272>
of a buryingplace
<06913>_.
There they buried
<06912> (8804)
Abraham
<085>
and Sarah
<08283>
his wife
<0802>_;
there they buried
<06912> (8804)
Isaac
<03327>
and Rebekah
<07259>
his wife
<0802>_;
and there I buried
<06912> (8804)
Leah
<03812>_.
The purchase
<04735>
of the field
<07704>
and of the cave
<04631>
that [is] therein [was] from the children
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_.
And when Jacob
<03290>
had made an end
<03615> (8762)
of commanding
<06680> (8763)
his sons
<01121>_,
he gathered up
<0622> (8799)
his feet
<07272>
into the bed
<04296>_,
and yielded up the ghost
<01478> (8799)_,
and was gathered
<0622> (8735)
unto his people
<05971>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
fell
<05307> (8799)
upon his father's
<01>
face
<06440>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)
upon him, and kissed
<05401> (8799)
him.
And Joseph
<03130>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
his servants
<05650>
the physicians
<07495> (8802)
to embalm
<02590> (8800)
his father
<01>_:
and the physicians
<07495> (8802)
embalmed
<02590> (8799)
Israel
<03478>_.
And forty
<0705>
days
<03117>
were fulfilled
<04390> (8799)
for him; for so are fulfilled
<04390> (8799)
the days
<03117>
of those which are embalmed
<02590> (8803)_:
and the Egyptians
<04714>
mourned
<01058> (8799)
for him threescore and ten
<07657>
days
<03117>_.
{mourned: Heb. wept}
And when the days
<03117>
of his mourning
<01068>
were past
<05674> (8799)_,
Joseph
<03130>
spake
<01696> (8762)
unto the house
<01004>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If now I have found
<04672> (8804)
grace
<02580>
in your eyes
<05869>_,
speak
<01696> (8761)_,
I pray you, in the ears
<0241>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
My father
<01>
made me swear
<07650> (8689)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Lo
<02009>_,
I die
<04191> (8801)_:
in my grave
<06913>
which I have digged
<03738> (8804)
for me in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
there shalt thou bury me
<06912> (8799)_.
Now therefore let me go up
<05927> (8799)_,
I pray thee, and bury
<06912> (8799)
my father
<01>_,
and I will come again
<07725> (8799)_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)_,
and bury
<06912> (8798)
thy father
<01>_,
according as he made thee swear
<07650> (8689)_.
And Joseph
<03130>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to bury
<06912> (8800)
his father
<01>_:
and with him went up
<05927> (8799)
all the servants
<05650>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
the elders
<02205>
of his house
<01004>_,
and all the elders
<02205>
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
And all the house
<01004>
of Joseph
<03130>_,
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_:
only their little ones
<02945>_,
and their flocks
<06629>_,
and their herds
<01241>_,
they left
<05800> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>_.
And there went up
<05927> (8799)
with him both chariots
<07393>
and horsemen
<06571>_:
and it was a very
<03966>
great
<03515>
company
<04264>_.
And they came
<0935> (8799)
to the threshingfloor
<01637>
of Atad
<0329>_,
which [is] beyond
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_,
and there they mourned
<05594> (8799)
with a great
<01419>
and very
<03966>
sore
<03515>
lamentation
<04553>_:
and he made
<06213> (8799)
a mourning
<060>
for his father
<01>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_.
And when the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_,
the Canaanites
<03669>_,
saw
<07200> (8799)
the mourning
<060>
in the floor
<01637>
of Atad
<0329>_,
they said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] a grievous
<03515>
mourning
<060>
to the Egyptians
<04714>_:
wherefore the name of it
<08034>
was called
<07121> (8804)
Abelmizraim
<067>_,
which [is] beyond
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_.
{Abelmizraim: that is, The mourning of the Egyptians}
And his sons
<01121>
did
<06213> (8799)
unto him according as he commanded
<06680> (8765)
them:
For his sons
<01121>
carried
<05375> (8799)
him into the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the cave
<04631>
of the field
<07704>
of Machpelah
<04375>_,
which Abraham
<085>
bought
<07069> (8804)
with the field
<07704>
for a possession
<0272>
of a buryingplace
<06913>
of Ephron
<06085>
the Hittite
<02850>_,
before
<06440>
Mamre
<04471>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
returned
<07725> (8799)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
he, and his brethren
<0251>_,
and all that went up
<05927> (8802)
with him to bury
<06912> (8800)
his father
<01>_,
after
<0310>
he had buried
<06912> (8800)
his father
<01>_.
And when Joseph's
<03130>
brethren
<0251>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that their father
<01>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Joseph
<03130>
will peradventure
<03863>
hate us
<07852> (8799)_,
and will certainly
<07725> (8687)
requite
<07725> (8686)
us all the evil
<07451>
which we did
<01580> (8804)
unto him.
And they sent a messenger
<06680> (8762)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thy father
<01>
did command
<06680> (8765)
before
<06440>
he died
<04194>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{sent: Heb. charged}
So shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
Forgive
<05375> (8798)_,
I pray thee
<0577>
now, the trespass
<06588>
of thy brethren
<0251>_,
and their sin
<02403>_;
for they did
<01580> (8804)
unto thee evil
<07451>_:
and now, we pray thee, forgive
<05375> (8798)
the trespass
<06588>
of the servants
<05650>
of the God
<0430>
of thy father
<01>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
wept
<01058> (8799)
when they spake
<01696> (8763)
unto him.
And his brethren
<0251>
also went
<03212> (8799)
and fell down
<05307> (8799)
before his face
<06440>_;
and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, we [be] thy servants
<05650>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for [am] I in the place of God
<0430>_?
But as for you, ye thought
<02803> (8804)
evil
<07451>
against me; [but] God
<0430>
meant it
<02803> (8804)
unto good
<02896>_,
to
<04616>
bring to pass
<06213> (8800)_,
as [it is] this day
<03117>_,
to save
<02421> (0)
much
<07227>
people
<05971>
alive
<02421> (8687)_.
Now therefore fear
<03372> (8799)
ye not: I will nourish
<03557> (8770)
you, and your little ones
<02945>_.
And he comforted
<05162> (8762)
them, and spake
<01696> (8762)
kindly
<03820>
unto them. {kindly...: Heb. to their hearts}
And Joseph
<03130>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in Egypt
<04714>_,
he, and his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_:
and Joseph
<03130>
lived
<02421> (8799)
an hundred
<03967>
and ten
<06235>
years
<08141>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
saw
<07200> (8799)
Ephraim's
<0669>
children
<01121>
of the third
<08029>
[generation]: the children
<01121>
also of Machir
<04353>
the son
<01121>
of Manasseh
<04519>
were brought up
<03205> (8795)
upon Joseph's
<03130>
knees
<01290>_.
{brought...: Heb. born}
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
I die
<04191> (8801)_:
and God
<0430>
will surely
<06485> (8800)
visit
<06485> (8799)
you, and bring you out
<05927> (8689)
of this land
<0776>
unto the land
<0776>
which he sware
<07650> (8738)
to Abraham
<085>_,
to Isaac
<03327>_,
and to Jacob
<03290>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
took an oath
<07650> (8686)
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
God
<0430>
will surely
<06485> (8800)
visit
<06485> (8799)
you, and ye shall carry up
<05927> (8689)
my bones
<06106>
from hence
<02088>_.
So Joseph
<03130>
died
<04191> (8799)_,
[being] an hundred
<03967>
and ten
<06235>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_:
and they embalmed
<02590> (8799)
him, and he was put
<03455> (8799)
in a coffin
<0727>
in Egypt
<04714>_.
