Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day.
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters.
Gen 1:7 And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so.
Gen 1:8 And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning -- a second day.
Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so.
Gen 1:10 And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so.
Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:13 And there was evening, and there was morning -- a third day.
Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
Gen 1:15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
Gen 1:16 And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth,
Gen 1:18 and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fourth day.
Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens.
Gen 1:21 And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply on the earth.
Gen 1:23 And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fifth day.
Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after their kind. And it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.
Gen 1:27 And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you;
Gen 1:30 and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
Gen 1:31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day.
Gen 2:1 And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
Gen 2:2 And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.
Gen 2:4 These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,
Gen 2:5 and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
Gen 2:6 But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
Gen 2:7 And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
Gen 2:8 And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:10 And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
Gen 2:11 The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
Gen 2:12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
Gen 2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
Gen 2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.
Gen 2:15 And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
Gen 2:16 And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
Gen 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die.
Gen 2:18 And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
Gen 2:19 And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.
Gen 2:20 And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.
Gen 2:21 And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
Gen 2:22 And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
Gen 2:23 And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Gen 3:1 And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;
Gen 3:3 but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;
Gen 3:5 but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.
Gen 3:6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:9 And Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?
Gen 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I hid myself.
Gen 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?
Gen 3:12 And Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
Gen 3:13 And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.
Gen 3:14 And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy life.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.
Gen 3:16 To the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee.
Gen 3:17 And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
Gen 3:18 and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.
Gen 3:20 And Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.
Gen 3:21 And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.
Gen 3:22 And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever ...!
Gen 3:23 Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Gen 3:24 And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.
Gen 4:1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
Gen 4:2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
Gen 4:5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
Gen 4:6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
Gen 4:7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Gen 4:8 And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Gen 4:9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
Gen 4:11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Gen 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
Gen 4:13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
Gen 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
Gen 4:15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
Gen 4:18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
Gen 4:19 And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
Gen 4:20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
Gen 4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
Gen 4:22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
Gen 4:23 And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
Gen 4:24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
Gen 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ... For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
Gen 5:1 This is the book of Adam's generations. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him.
Gen 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Gen 5:3 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot [a son] in his likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth.
Gen 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:5 And all the days of Adam that he lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
Gen 5:6 And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begot Enosh.
Gen 5:7 And Seth lived after he had begotten Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.
Gen 5:9 And Enosh lived ninety years, and begot Cainan.

Gen 5:13 And Cainan lived after he had begotten Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.
Gen 5:15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared.
Gen 5:16 And Mahalaleel lived after he had begotten Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

Gen 5:25 And Methushelah lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lemech.

Gen 5:27 And all the days of Methushelah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.
Gen 5:28 And Lemech lived a hundred and eighty-two years, and begot a son.
Gen 5:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This [one] shall comfort us concerning our work and concerning the toil of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah has cursed.

Gen 5:31 And all the days of Lemech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.
Gen 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Gen 6:1 And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them,
Gen 6:2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took themselves wives of all that they chose.
Gen 6:3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not always plead with Man; for he indeed is flesh; but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Gen 6:4 In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne [children] to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown.
Gen 6:5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually.
Gen 6:6 And Jehovah repented that he had made Man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
Gen 6:7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth -- from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.
Gen 6:8 But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah.
Gen 6:9 This is the history of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect amongst his generations: Noah walked with God.
Gen 6:10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Gen 6:11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence.
Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
Gen 6:13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Gen 6:14 Make thyself an ark of gopher wood: [with] cells shalt thou make the ark; and pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
Gen 6:15 And thus shalt thou make it: let the length of the ark be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Gen 6:16 A light shalt thou make to the ark; and to a cubit high shalt thou finish it above. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side: [with] a lower, second, and third [story] shalt thou make it.
Gen 6:17 For I, behold, I bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh under the heavens in which is the breath of life: everything that is on the earth shall expire.
Gen 6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt go into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Gen 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee: they shall be male and female.
Gen 6:20 Of fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each shall go in to thee, to keep [them] alive.
Gen 6:21 And take thou of all food that is eaten, and gather [it] to thee, that it may be for food for thee and for them.
Gen 6:22 And Noah did it; according to all that God had commanded him, so did he.
Gen 7:1 And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Gen 7:2 Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female.
Gen 7:3 Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
Gen 7:4 For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground.
Gen 7:5 And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him.
Gen 7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
Gen 7:7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Gen 7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowl, and of everything that creeps on the ground,
Gen 7:9 there came two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
Gen 7:10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Gen 7:12 And the pour of rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Gen 7:13 On the same day went Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
Gen 7:14 they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and all fowl after its kind -- every bird of every wing.
Gen 7:15 And they went to Noah, into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which was the breath of life.
Gen 7:16 And they that came, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.
Gen 7:17 And the flood was forty days on the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark; and it was lifted up above the earth.
Gen 7:18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters.
Gen 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains that are under all the heavens were covered.
Gen 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed; and the mountains were covered.
Gen 7:21 And all flesh that moved on the earth expired, fowl as well as cattle, and beasts, and all crawling things which crawl on the earth, and all mankind:
Gen 7:22 everything which had in its nostrils the breath of life, of all that was on the dry [land], died.
Gen 7:23 And every living being was destroyed that was on the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowl of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth. And Noah alone remained, and what was with him in the ark.
Gen 7:24 And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
Gen 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
Gen 8:2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
Gen 8:3 And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
Gen 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
Gen 8:5 And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
Gen 8:6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
Gen 8:7 And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
Gen 8:8 And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
Gen 8:9 But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
Gen 8:10 And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Gen 8:11 And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.
Gen 8:12 And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
Gen 8:13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.
Gen 8:14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Gen 8:15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Gen 8:16 Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Gen 8:17 Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.
Gen 8:18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
Gen 8:19 All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl -- everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.
Gen 8:20 And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.
Gen 8:21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.
Gen 8:22 Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
Gen 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
Gen 9:2 And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth [on] the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
Gen 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
Gen 9:4 Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
Gen 9:5 And indeed your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each [the blood] of his brother, will I require the life of Man.
Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
Gen 9:7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
Gen 9:8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Gen 9:9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
Gen 9:10 and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark -- every animal of the earth.
Gen 9:11 And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth.
Gen 9:12 And God said, This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:
Gen 9:13 I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Gen 9:14 And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
Gen 9:15 and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Gen 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Gen 9:17 And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
Gen 9:18 And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
Gen 9:19 These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.
Gen 9:20 And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
Gen 9:21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent.
Gen 9:22 And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.
Gen 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness.
Gen 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and learned what his youngest son had done to him.
Gen 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.
Gen 9:26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
Gen 9:27 Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
Gen 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Gen 9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
Gen 10:1 And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to them were sons born after the flood.
Gen 10:2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Gen 10:3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gen 10:4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Gen 10:5 From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Gen 10:6 And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
Gen 10:7 And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Gen 10:8 And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah!
Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Gen 10:11 From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
Gen 10:12 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.
Gen 10:13 -- And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,
Gen 10:14 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.
Gen 10:15 -- And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,
Gen 10:16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
Gen 10:17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Gen 10:18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.
Gen 10:19 And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha.
Gen 10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
Gen 10:21 And to Shem -- to him also were [sons] born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
Gen 10:22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Gen 10:23 And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Gen 10:24 -- And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.
Gen 10:25 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Gen 10:26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Gen 10:27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Gen 10:28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Gen 10:29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were sons of Joktan.
Gen 10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.
Gen 10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Gen 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood.
Gen 11:1 And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.
Gen 11:2 And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, Come on, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
Gen 11:4 And they said, Come on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which [may reach] to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.
Gen 11:5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.
Gen 11:6 And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.
Gen 11:7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Gen 11:8 And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.
Gen 11:9 Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.
Gen 11:10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Gen 11:11 And Shem lived after he had begotten Arphaxad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:12 And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Shelah.
Gen 11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Shelah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:14 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.
Gen 11:15 And Shelah lived after he had begotten Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:16 And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.
Gen 11:17 And Eber lived after he had begotten Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
Gen 11:19 And Peleg lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:20 And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.
Gen 11:21 And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.
Gen 11:23 And Serug lived after he had begotten Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:24 And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.
Gen 11:25 And Nahor lived after he had begotten Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Gen 11:27 And these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.
Gen 11:28 And Haran died before the face of his father Terah in the land of his nativity at Ur of the Chaldeans.
Gen 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, a daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.
Gen 11:30 And Sarai was barren: she had no child.
Gen 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth together out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan, and came as far as Haran, and dwelt there.
Gen 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
Gen 12:1 And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.
Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Gen 12:4 And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Gen 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
Gen 12:6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Gen 12:7 And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.
Gen 12:8 And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.
Gen 12:9 And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.
Gen 12:10 And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land.
Gen 12:11 And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.
Gen 12:12 And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.
Gen 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.
Gen 12:14 And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
Gen 12:15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
Gen 12:16 And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.
Gen 12:17 And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
Gen 12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Gen 12:19 Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
Gen 12:20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Gen 13:1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.
Gen 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Gen 13:3 And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;
Gen 13:4 to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
Gen 13:5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Gen 13:6 And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.
Gen 13:7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.
Gen 13:8 And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.
Gen 13:9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.
Gen 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.
Gen 13:11 And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:
Gen 13:12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.
Gen 13:13 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
Gen 13:14 And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
Gen 13:15 for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
Gen 13:16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered.
Gen 13:17 Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.
Gen 13:18 Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.
Gen 14:1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel the king of Shinar, Arioch the king of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations,
Gen 14:2 [that] they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
Gen 14:3 All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
Gen 14:4 Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Gen 14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim,
Gen 14:6 and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.
Gen 14:7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar.
Gen 14:8 And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim,
Gen 14:9 with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar -- four kings with the five.
Gen 14:10 And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
Gen 14:11 And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.
Gen 14:12 And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.
Gen 14:13 And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies.
Gen 14:14 And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his trained [servants], born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] as far as Dan.
Gen 14:15 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus.
Gen 14:16 And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.
Gen 14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley.
Gen 14:18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High *God.
Gen 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High *God, possessor of heavens and earth.
Gen 14:20 And blessed be the Most High *God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.
Gen 14:21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.
Gen 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High *God, possessor of heavens and earth,
Gen 14:23 if from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take [anything] ...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich;
Gen 14:24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
Gen 15:1 After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram; I am thy shield, thy exceeding great reward.
Gen 15:2 And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.
Gen 15:3 And Abram said, Lo, to me thou hast given no seed, and behold, a son of my house will be mine heir.
Gen 15:4 And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir, but he that will come forth out of thy body shall be thine heir.
Gen 15:5 And he led him out, and said, Look now toward the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be!
Gen 15:6 And he believed Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him [as] righteousness.
Gen 15:7 And he said to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to possess it.
Gen 15:8 And he said, Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall possess it?
Gen 15:9 And he said to him, Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.
Gen 15:10 And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the half of each opposite its fellow; but the birds he did not divide.
Gen 15:11 And the birds of prey came down on the carcases; and Abram scared them away.
Gen 15:12 And as the sun was just going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, a horror, a great darkness, fell upon him.
Gen 15:13 And he said to Abram, Know assuredly that thy seed will be a sojourner in a land [that is] not theirs, and they shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.
Gen 15:14 But also that nation which they shall serve I will judge; and afterwards they shall come out with great property.
Gen 15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
Gen 15:16 And [in the] fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Gen 15:17 And it came to pass when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, that behold, there was a smoking furnace, and a flame of fire which passed between those pieces.
Gen 15:18 On the same day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates;
Gen 15:19 the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Gen 15:20 and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
Gen 15:21 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Gen 16:1 And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.
Gen 16:2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Gen 16:3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife.
Gen 16:4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly esteemed in her eyes.
Gen 16:5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee! I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee!
Gen 16:6 And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand: do to her what is good in thine eyes. And Sarai oppressed her; and she fled from her face.
Gen 16:7 And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Gen 16:8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
Gen 16:9 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Gen 16:10 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Gen 16:11 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath hearkened to thy affliction.
Gen 16:12 And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren.
Gen 16:13 And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the *God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.
Gen 16:14 Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Gen 16:15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Gen 16:16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Gen 17:1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the Almighty *God: walk before my face, and be perfect.
Gen 17:2 And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.
Gen 17:3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,
Gen 17:4 It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
Gen 17:5 And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
Gen 17:6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Gen 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Gen 17:8 And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them.
Gen 17:9 And God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Gen 17:10 This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee -- that every male among you be circumcised.
Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
Gen 17:12 And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you -- he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.
Gen 17:13 He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Gen 17:14 And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.
Gen 17:15 And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
Gen 17:16 And I will bless her, and I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.
Gen 17:17 And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
Gen 17:18 And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
Gen 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Gen 17:20 And for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.
Gen 17:22 And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.
Gen 17:23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money -- every male among the people of Abraham's house -- and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.
Gen 17:24 And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Gen 17:25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Gen 17:26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
Gen 17:27 and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Gen 18:1 And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day.
Gen 18:2 And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him. And when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent-door, and bowed himself to the earth,
Gen 18:3 and said, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
Gen 18:4 Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Gen 18:5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread; and refresh yourselves; after that ye shall pass on; for therefore have ye passed on towards your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast said.
Gen 18:6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.
Gen 18:7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it.
Gen 18:8 And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.
Gen 18:9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Gen 18:10 And he said, I will certainly return to thee at [this] time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him.
Gen 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Gen 18:12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?
Gen 18:13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
Gen 18:14 Is [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.
Gen 18:15 And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
Gen 18:16 And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
Gen 18:17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
Gen 18:18 Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him.
Gen 18:19 For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath spoken of him.
Gen 18:20 And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grievous,
Gen 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know [it].
Gen 18:22 And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah.
Gen 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked?
Gen 18:24 There are perhaps fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein?
Gen 18:25 Far be it from thee to do so, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous should be as the wicked -- far be it from thee! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Gen 18:26 And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.
Gen 18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.
Gen 18:28 Perhaps there may want five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city on account of the five? And he said, If I shall find forty-five there, I will not destroy [it].
Gen 18:29 And he continued yet to speak with him, and said, Perhaps there may be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
Gen 18:30 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry that I speak! Perhaps there may be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.
Gen 18:31 And he said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak with the Lord. Perhaps there may be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the twenty's sake.
Gen 18:32 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, that I speak yet but this time! Perhaps there may be ten found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the ten's sake.
Gen 18:33 And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
Gen 19:1 And the two angels came to Sodom at even. And Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed down, the face toward the ground,
Gen 19:2 and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and lodge, and wash your feet; and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No; but we will pass the night in the open place.
Gen 19:3 And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house. And he made them a repast, and baked unleavened cakes; and they ate.
Gen 19:4 Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the youngest to the oldest -- all the people from every quarter.
Gen 19:5 And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that have come in to thee to-night? bring them out to us that we may know them.
Gen 19:6 And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him,
Gen 19:7 and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly!
Gen 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man: let me now bring them out to you; and do to them as is good in your sight: only, to these men do nothing; for therefore have they come under the shadow of my roof.
Gen 19:9 And they said, Back there! And they said [again], This one came to sojourn, and he must be a judge? Now we will deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed hard on the man -- on Lot; and drew near to break the door.
Gen 19:10 And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Gen 19:11 And they smote the men that were at the entrance of the house with blindness, from the smallest to the greatest; and they wearied themselves to find the entrance.
Gen 19:12 And the men said to Lot, Whom hast thou here besides? a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and all whom thou hast in the city -- bring [them] out of the place.
Gen 19:13 For we are going to destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
Gen 19:14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Up, go out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he was as if he jested, in the sight of his sons-in-law.
Gen 19:15 And as the dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Up, take thy wife and thy two daughters who are present, lest thou perish in the iniquity of the city.
Gen 19:16 And as he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him; and they led him out, and set him without the city.
Gen 19:17 And it came to pass when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou perish.
Gen 19:18 And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, Lord;
Gen 19:19 behold now, thy servant has found favour in thine eyes, and thou hast magnified thy goodness, which thou hast shewn to me in preserving my soul alive; but I cannot escape to the mountain, lest calamity lay hold on me, that I die.
Gen 19:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is small: I pray thee, let me escape thither -- is it not small? -- and my soul shall live.
Gen 19:21 And he said to him, Behold, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken.
Gen 19:22 Haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.
Gen 19:23 The sun rose upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Gen 19:24 And Jehovah rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven,
Gen 19:25 and overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew upon the ground.
Gen 19:26 And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Gen 19:27 And Abraham rose early in the morning [and went] to the place where he had stood before Jehovah;
Gen 19:28 and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, a smoke went up from the land as the smoke of a furnace.
Gen 19:29 And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Gen 19:30 And Lot went up from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Gen 19:31 And the first-born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:
Gen 19:32 come, let us give our father wine to drink, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.
Gen 19:33 And they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.
Gen 19:34 And it came to pass on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, Lo, I lay last night with my father: let us give him wine to drink to-night also, and go thou in, lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.
Gen 19:35 And they gave their father wine to drink that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.
Gen 19:36 And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
Gen 19:37 And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Gen 19:38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
Gen 20:1 And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar.
Gen 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Gen 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art [but] a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
Gen 20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation?
Gen 20:5 Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in the innocency of my hands have I done this.
Gen 20:6 And God said to him in a dream, I also knew that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart, and I, too, have withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore have I not suffered thee to touch her.
Gen 20:7 And now, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and will pray for thee, that thou mayest live. And if thou do not restore [her], know that thou shalt certainly die, thou and all that is thine.
Gen 20:8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were greatly afraid.
Gen 20:9 And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Thou hast done to me deeds that ought not to be done.
Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?
Gen 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.
Gen 20:12 But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Gen 20:13 And it came to pass when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, Let this be thy kindness which thou shalt shew to me: at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Gen 20:14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Gen 20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes.
Gen 20:16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved.
Gen 20:17 And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore [children].
Gen 20:18 For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Gen 21:1 And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Gen 21:2 And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
Gen 21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Gen 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Gen 21:5 And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
Gen 21:6 And Sarah said, God has made me laugh: all that hear will laugh with me.
Gen 21:7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne [him] a son in his old age.
Gen 21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Gen 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Gen 21:10 And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son -- with Isaac.
Gen 21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
Gen 21:12 And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: [in] all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
Gen 21:13 But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Gen 21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave [it] to Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder -- and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
Gen 21:15 And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
Gen 21:16 and she went and sat down over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lifted up her voice and wept.
Gen 21:17 And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What [aileth] thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.
Gen 21:18 Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.
Gen 21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.
Gen 21:20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Gen 21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Gen 21:22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
Gen 21:23 And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest.
Gen 21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Gen 21:25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Gen 21:26 And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me [of it], neither have I heard [of it] but to-day.
Gen 21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
Gen 21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
Gen 21:29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?
Gen 21:30 And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.
Gen 21:31 Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.
Gen 21:32 And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.
Gen 21:33 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal *God.
Gen 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
Gen 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! and he said, Here am I.
Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son], whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Gen 22:3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of.
Gen 22:4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.
Gen 22:5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
Gen 22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and the knife, and they went both of them together.
Gen 22:7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the sheep for a burnt-offering?
Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself with the sheep for a burnt-offering. And they went both of them together.
Gen 22:9 And they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built the altar there, and piled the wood; and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Gen 22:10 And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son.
Gen 22:11 And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.
Gen 22:12 And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son], from me.
Gen 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son.
Gen 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided.
Gen 22:15 And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time,
Gen 22:16 and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son],
Gen 22:17 I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Gen 22:18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
Gen 22:19 And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Gen 22:20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:
Gen 22:21 Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Gen 22:22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Gen 22:23 (And Bethuel begot Rebecca.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Gen 22:24 And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.
Gen 23:1 And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
Gen 23:2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-Arba: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Gen 23:3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Gen 23:4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a sepulchre with you, that I may bury my dead from before me.
Gen 23:5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Gen 23:6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a prince of God among us: in the choicest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre for burying thy dead.
Gen 23:7 And Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Gen 23:8 and spoke to them, saying, If it be your will that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar,
Gen 23:9 that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which is his, which is at the end of his field; for the full money let him give it to me amongst you for a possession of a sepulchre.
Gen 23:10 And Ephron was dwelling among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, [even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Gen 23:11 No, my lord: hear me. The field give I thee; and the cave that is in it, to thee I give it; before the eyes of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
Gen 23:12 And Abraham bowed down before the people of the land;
Gen 23:13 and he spoke to Ephron, in the ears of the people of the land, saying, But if only thou wouldst listen to me, I give the money for the field: take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.
Gen 23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Gen 23:15 My lord, hearken to me. A field of four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
Gen 23:16 And Abraham hearkened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the money that he had named in the ears of the sons of Heth -- four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.
Gen 23:17 So the field of Ephron, which was at Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all its borders round about,
Gen 23:18 were assured to Abraham for a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
Gen 23:19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field at Machpelah, opposite to Mamre: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
Gen 23:20 And the field and the cave that was in it were assured to Abraham for a possession of a sepulchre by the sons of Heth.
Gen 24:1 And Abraham was old, [and] advanced in age; and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.
Gen 24:2 And Abraham said to his servant, the eldest of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh,
Gen 24:3 and I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of the heavens and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am dwelling;
Gen 24:4 but thou shalt go to my land and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Gen 24:5 And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I, then, bring thy son again in any case to the land from which thou hast removed?
Gen 24:6 And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again.
Gen 24:7 Jehovah the God of the heavens, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land of my nativity, and who has spoken to me, and who has sworn to me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land -- he will send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife for my son thence.
Gen 24:8 And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be quit of this my oath: only, bring not my son thither again.
Gen 24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore unto him concerning that matter.
Gen 24:10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; now all the treasure of his master was under his hand; and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
Gen 24:11 And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, when the women came out to draw [water].
Gen 24:12 And he said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, meet me, I pray thee, [with thy blessing] this day, and deal kindly with my master Abraham.
Gen 24:13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
Gen 24:14 And let it come to pass, [that] the maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and who will say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, be she whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and hereby I shall know that thou hast dealt kindly with my master.
Gen 24:15 And it came to pass before he had ended speaking, that behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and [she had] her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Gen 24:16 And the maiden was very fair in countenance; a virgin, and no man had known her. And she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Gen 24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, sip a little water out of thy pitcher.
Gen 24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him to drink.
Gen 24:19 And when she had given him enough to drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have drunk enough.
Gen 24:20 And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw [water]; and she drew for all his camels.
Gen 24:21 And the man was astonished at her, remaining silent, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.
Gen 24:22 And it came to pass when the camels had drunk enough, that the man took a gold ring, of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten [shekels] weight of gold,
Gen 24:23 and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge?
Gen 24:24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
Gen 24:25 And she said to him, There is straw, and also much provender with us; also room to lodge.
Gen 24:26 And the man stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah,
Gen 24:27 and said, Blessed be Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has not withdrawn his loving-kindness and his faithfulness from my master; I being in the way, Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren.
Gen 24:28 And the maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house.
Gen 24:29 And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
Gen 24:30 And it came to pass when he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister's hand, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me -- that he came to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels, by the well.
Gen 24:31 And he said, Come in, blessed of Jehovah! why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Gen 24:32 And the man came into the house; and he ungirded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who were with him.
Gen 24:33 And there was set [meat] before him to eat; but he said, I will not eat until I have made known my business. And he said, Speak on.
Gen 24:34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
Gen 24:35 And Jehovah has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great; and he has given him sheep and cattle, and silver and gold, and bondmen and bondwomen, and camels and asses.
Gen 24:36 And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master after she had grown old; and unto him has he given all that he has.
Gen 24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling;
Gen 24:38 but thou shalt by all means go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.
Gen 24:39 And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me?
Gen 24:40 And he said to me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way, that thou mayest take a wife for my son of my family, and out of my father's house.
Gen 24:41 Then shalt thou be quit of my oath, when thou shalt have come to my family. And if they give thee not [one], thou shalt be quit of my oath.
Gen 24:42 And I came this day to the well, and said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper my way on which I go,
Gen 24:43 behold, I stand by the well of water, and let it come to pass that the damsel who cometh forth to draw [water], and to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water out of thy pitcher to drink,
Gen 24:44 and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels -- that she should be the woman whom Jehovah hath appointed for my master's son.
Gen 24:45 Before I ended speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and went down to the well, and drew [water]; and I said to her, Give me, I pray thee, to drink.
Gen 24:46 And she hasted and let down her pitcher from her [shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. And I drank; and she gave the camels drink also.
Gen 24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
Gen 24:48 And I stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah; and I blessed Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has led me the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.
Gen 24:49 And now, if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; and I will turn to the right hand or to the left.
Gen 24:50 And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.
Gen 24:51 Behold, Rebecca is before thee: take [her], and go away; and let her be wife of thy master's son, as Jehovah has said.
Gen 24:52 And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth before Jehovah.
Gen 24:53 And the servant brought forth silver articles, and gold articles, and clothing, and he gave [them] to Rebecca; and he gave to her brother, and to her mother, precious things.
Gen 24:54 And they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and lodged. And they rose up in the morning; and he said, Send me away to my master.
Gen 24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us [some] days, or [say] ten; after that she shall go.
Gen 24:56 And he said to them, Do not hinder me, seeing Jehovah has prospered my way: send me away, and I will go to my master.
Gen 24:57 And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire at her mouth.
Gen 24:58 And they called Rebecca and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Gen 24:59 And they sent away Rebecca their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Gen 24:60 And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; mayest thou become thousands of tens of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gate of their enemies!
Gen 24:61 And Rebecca arose, and her maids, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebecca, and went away.
Gen 24:62 And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country.
Gen 24:63 And Isaac had gone out to meditate in the fields toward the beginning of evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, camels were coming.
Gen 24:64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel.
Gen 24:65 And she had said to the servant, Who is the man that is walking in the fields to meet us? And the servant said, That is my master! Then she took the veil, and covered herself.
Gen 24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
Gen 24:67 And Isaac led her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after [the death of] his mother.
Gen 25:1 And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.
Gen 25:2 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Gen 25:3 And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim.
Gen 25:4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah.
Gen 25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
Gen 25:6 And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward to the east country.
Gen 25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.
Gen 25:8 And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples.
Gen 25:9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which was opposite to Mamre --
Gen 25:10 the field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
Gen 25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi.
Gen 25:12 And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.
Gen 25:13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to their generations: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Gen 25:14 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Gen 25:15 Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedmah.
Gen 25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments -- twelve princes of their peoples.
Gen 25:17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples.
Gen 25:18 And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt, as one goes towards Assyria. He settled before the face of all his brethren.
Gen 25:19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.
Gen 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.
Gen 25:21 And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived.
Gen 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.
Gen 25:23 And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger.
Gen 25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Gen 25:25 And the first came out red -- all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Gen 25:26 And after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
Gen 25:27 And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents.
Gen 25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob.
Gen 25:29 And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.
Gen 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red -- the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.
Gen 25:31 And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright.
Gen 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me?
Gen 25:33 And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Gen 25:34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright.
Gen 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which had been in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Gen 26:2 And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt: dwell in the land that I shall tell thee of.
Gen 26:3 Sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee and bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries; and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father.
Gen 26:4 And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and unto thy seed will I give all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves --
Gen 26:5 because that Abraham hearkened to my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Gen 26:6 And Isaac dwelt at Gerar.
Gen 26:7 And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, my wife, [saying to himself,] Lest the men of the place slay me on account of Rebecca -- because she was fair in countenance.
Gen 26:8 And it came to pass when he had been there some time, that Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out of the window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was dallying with Rebecca his wife.
Gen 26:9 Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.
Gen 26:10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us.
Gen 26:11 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall certainly be put to death.
Gen 26:12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessed him.
Gen 26:13 And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was very great.
Gen 26:14 And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great number of servants; and the Philistines envied him.
Gen 26:15 And all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them and filled them with earth.
Gen 26:16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art become much mightier than we.
Gen 26:17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his camp in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Gen 26:18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and that the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Gen 26:19 And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Gen 26:20 But the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they had quarrelled with him.
Gen 26:21 And they dug another well, and they strove for that also; and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Gen 26:22 And he removed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth, and said, For now Jehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Gen 26:23 And he went up thence to Beer-sheba.
Gen 26:24 And Jehovah appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
Gen 26:25 And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah. And he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
Gen 26:26 And Abimelech, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol the captain of his host, went to him from Gerar.
Gen 26:27 And Isaac said to them, Why are ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have driven me away from you?
Gen 26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that Jehovah is with thee; and we said, Let there be then an oath between us -- between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,
Gen 26:29 that thou wilt do us no wrong, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have let thee go in peace; thou art now blessed of Jehovah.
Gen 26:30 And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Gen 26:31 And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Gen 26:32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.
Gen 26:33 And he called it Shebah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.
Gen 26:34 And Esau was forty years old, when he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basmath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Gen 26:35 And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebecca.
Gen 27:1 And it came to pass when Isaac had become old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, that he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he said to him, Here am I.
Gen 27:2 And he said, Behold now, I am become old; I know not the day of my death.
Gen 27:3 And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison,
Gen 27:4 and prepare me a savoury dish such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, in order that my soul may bless thee before I die.
Gen 27:5 And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.
Gen 27:6 And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,
Gen 27:7 Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death.
Gen 27:8 And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.
Gen 27:9 Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves.
Gen 27:10 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.
Gen 27:11 And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Gen 27:12 My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing.
Gen 27:13 And his mother said to him, On me [be] thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch [them].
Gen 27:14 And he went, and fetched and brought [them] to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as his father loved.
Gen 27:15 And Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;
Gen 27:16 and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck;
Gen 27:17 and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
Gen 27:18 And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my son?
Gen 27:19 And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
Gen 27:20 And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God put [it] in my way.
Gen 27:21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be really my son Esau or not.
Gen 27:22 And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Gen 27:23 And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; and he blessed him.
Gen 27:24 And he said, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I.
Gen 27:25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, that I may eat of my son's venison, in order that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Gen 27:26 And his father Isaac said to him, Come near, now, and kiss me, my son.
Gen 27:27 And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed.
Gen 27:28 And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and new wine.
Gen 27:29 Let peoples serve thee, And races bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be they that curse thee, And blessed be they that bless thee.
Gen 27:30 And it came to pass when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.
Gen 27:31 And he also had prepared savoury dishes, and he brought [them] in to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
Gen 27:32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.
Gen 27:33 Then Isaac trembled with exceeding great trembling, and said, Who was he, then, that hunted venison and brought [it] to me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him; also blessed he shall be.
Gen 27:34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me -- me also, my father!
Gen 27:35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and has taken away thy blessing.
Gen 27:36 And he said, Is it not therefore he was named Jacob, for he has supplanted me now twice? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Gen 27:37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him lord over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and with corn and new wine have I supplied him -- and what can I do now for thee, my son?
Gen 27:38 And Esau said to his father, Hast thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me -- me also, my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
Gen 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above;
Gen 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live; And thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
Gen 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, and I will slay my brother Jacob.
Gen 27:42 And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.
Gen 27:43 And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran;
Gen 27:44 and abide with him some days, until thy brother's fury turn away --
Gen 27:45 until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; then I will send and fetch thee thence. Why should I be bereaved even of you both in one day?
Gen 27:46 And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good should my life do me?
Gen 28:1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Gen 28:2 Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
Gen 28:3 And the Almighty *God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples.
Gen 28:4 And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham!
Gen 28:5 And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Gen 28:6 And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Gen 28:7 and [that] Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram.
Gen 28:8 And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father.
Gen 28:9 And Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Gen 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
Gen 28:11 And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took [one] of the stones of the place, and made [it] his pillow, and lay down in that place.
Gen 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
Gen 28:13 And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
Gen 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Gen 28:15 And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
Gen 28:16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not.
Gen 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Gen 28:18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first.
Gen 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on,
Gen 28:21 and I come again to my father's house in peace -- then shall Jehovah be my God.
Gen 28:22 And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
Gen 29:1 And Jacob continued his journey, and went into the land of the children of the east.
Gen 29:2 And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the fields, and behold there, three flocks of sheep were lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was at the mouth of the well.
Gen 29:3 And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the mouth of the well in its place.
Gen 29:4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
Gen 29:5 And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know [him].
Gen 29:6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, [He is] well; and behold, there comes Rachel his daughter with the sheep.
Gen 29:7 And he said, Behold, it is yet high day; it is not time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, feed [them].
Gen 29:8 And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.
Gen 29:9 While he was still speaking to them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
Gen 29:10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.
Gen 29:11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
Gen 29:12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.
Gen 29:13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these things.
Gen 29:14 And Laban said to him, Thou art indeed my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him a month's time.
Gen 29:15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall be thy wages?
Gen 29:16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
Gen 29:17 And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of beautiful form and beautiful countenance.
Gen 29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Gen 29:19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
Gen 29:20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes as single days, because he loved her.
Gen 29:21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Gen 29:22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Gen 29:23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
Gen 29:24 And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter.
Gen 29:25 And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me?
Gen 29:26 And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Gen 29:27 Fulfil the week [with] this one: then we will give thee the other one also, for the service that thou shalt serve me yet seven other years.
Gen 29:28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week [with] this one, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to be his wife.
Gen 29:29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his maidservant, to be her maidservant.
Gen 29:30 And he went in also to Rachel; and he loved also Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet seven other years.
Gen 29:31 And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
Gen 29:32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
Gen 29:33 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.
Gen 29:34 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.
Gen 29:35 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, This time will I praise Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased to bear.
Gen 30:1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
Gen 30:2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, Am I in God's stead, who has withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
Gen 30:3 And she said, Behold, there is my maid, Bilhah: go in to her, in order that she may bear on my knees, and I may also be built up by her.
Gen 30:4 And she gave him Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Gen 30:5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Gen 30:6 And Rachel said, God
