Genesis 18.0:

Genesis 18.1: 18Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.

Genesis 18.2: 2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

Genesis 18.3: 3 and said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant.

Genesis 18.4: 4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

Genesis 18.5: 5 I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant.”

They said, “Very well, do as you have said.”

Genesis 18.6: 6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs1 of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”

Genesis 18.7: 7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.

Genesis 18.8: 8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.

Genesis 18.9: 9 They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?”

He said, “There, in the tent.”

Genesis 18.10: 10 He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.”

Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

Genesis 18.11: 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.

Genesis 18.12: 12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”

Genesis 18.13: 13 Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’

Genesis 18.14: 14 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son.”

Genesis 18.15: 15 Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid.

He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

Genesis 18.16: 16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.

Genesis 18.17: 17 Yahweh said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,

Genesis 18.18: 18 since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?

Genesis 18.19: 19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”

Genesis 18.20: 20 Yahweh said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,

Genesis 18.21: 21 I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.”

Genesis 18.22: 22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh.

Genesis 18.23: 23 Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?

Genesis 18.24: 24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?

Genesis 18.25: 25 May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”

Genesis 18.26: 26 Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

Genesis 18.27: 27 Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.

Genesis 18.28: 28 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?”

He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”

Genesis 18.29: 29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?”

He said, “I will not do it for the forty’s sake.”

Genesis 18.30: 30 He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?”

He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

Genesis 18.31: 31 He said, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?”

He said, “I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.”

Genesis 18.32: 32 He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?”

He said, “I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.”

Genesis 18.33: 33 Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

Genesis 30.0:

Genesis 30.1: 30When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”

Genesis 30.2: 2 Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”

Genesis 30.3: 3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”

Genesis 30.4: 4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

Genesis 30.5: 5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

Genesis 30.6: 6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.

Genesis 30.7: 7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.

Genesis 30.8: 8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.

Genesis 30.9: 9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

Genesis 30.10: 10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.

Genesis 30.11: 11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.

Genesis 30.12: 12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.

Genesis 30.13: 13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.

Genesis 30.14: 14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”

Genesis 30.15: 15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?”

Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”

Genesis 30.16: 16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.”

He lay with her that night.

Genesis 30.17: 17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

Genesis 30.18: 18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.

Genesis 30.19: 19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

Genesis 30.20: 20 Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.

Genesis 30.21: 21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

Genesis 30.22: 22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

Genesis 30.23: 23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”

Genesis 30.24: 24 She named him Joseph,1 saying, “May Yahweh add another son to me.”

Genesis 30.25: 25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.

Genesis 30.26: 26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”

Genesis 30.27: 27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”

Genesis 30.28: 28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”

Genesis 30.29: 29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.

Genesis 30.30: 30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”

Genesis 30.31: 31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?”

Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.

Genesis 30.32: 32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.

Genesis 30.33: 33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”

Genesis 30.34: 34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”

Genesis 30.35: 35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

Genesis 30.36: 36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.

Genesis 30.37: 37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

Genesis 30.38: 38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.

Genesis 30.39: 39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.

Genesis 30.40: 40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.

Genesis 30.41: 41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;

Genesis 30.42: 42 but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.

Genesis 30.43: 43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

Genesis 47.0:

Genesis 47.1: 47Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”

Genesis 47.2: 2 From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.

Genesis 47.3: 3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?”

They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”

Genesis 47.4: 4 They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”

Genesis 47.5: 5 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.

Genesis 47.6: 6 The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”

Genesis 47.7: 7 Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

Genesis 47.8: 8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”

Genesis 47.9: 9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”

Genesis 47.10: 10 Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

Genesis 47.11: 11 Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

Genesis 47.12: 12 Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.

Genesis 47.13: 13 There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

Genesis 47.14: 14 Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.

Genesis 47.15: 15 When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”

Genesis 47.16: 16 Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”

Genesis 47.17: 17 They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.

Genesis 47.18: 18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.

Genesis 47.19: 19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.”

Genesis 47.20: 20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s.

Genesis 47.21: 21 As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.

Genesis 47.22: 22 Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t sell their land.

Genesis 47.23: 23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

Genesis 47.24: 24 It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.”

Genesis 47.25: 25 They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”

Genesis 47.26: 26 Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t become Pharaoh’s.

Genesis 47.27: 27 Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.

Genesis 47.28: 28 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.

Genesis 47.29: 29 The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt,

Genesis 47.30: 30 but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.”

Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”

Genesis 47.31: 31 Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.

Ruth 2.0:

Ruth 2.1: 2Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.

Ruth 2.2: 2 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favor.”

She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”

Ruth 2.3: 3 She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

Ruth 2.4: 4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.”

They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”

Ruth 2.5: 5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”

Ruth 2.6: 6 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.

Ruth 2.7: 7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”

Ruth 2.8: 8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.

Ruth 2.9: 9 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”

Ruth 2.10: 10 Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”

Ruth 2.11: 11 Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.

Ruth 2.12: 12 May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

Ruth 2.13: 13 Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”

Ruth 2.14: 14 At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.”

She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.

Ruth 2.15: 15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.

Ruth 2.16: 16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”

Ruth 2.17: 17 So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah1 of barley.

Ruth 2.18: 18 She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.

Ruth 2.19: 19 Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.”

She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”

Ruth 2.20: 20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”

Ruth 2.21: 21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”

Ruth 2.22: 22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”

Ruth 2.23: 23 So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.

Psalms 15.0:

A Psalm by David.

Psalms 15.1: 15Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary?

Who shall live on your holy hill?

Psalms 15.2: 2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,

and speaks truth in his heart;

Psalms 15.3: 3 he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,

nor does evil to his friend,

nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

Psalms 15.4: 4 in whose eyes a vile man is despised,

but who honors those who fear Yahweh;

he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

Psalms 15.5: 5 he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury,

nor take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.0:

Wisdom of Solomon 13.1: 13For truly all men who had no perception of God were vain by nature,

and didn’t gain power to know him who exists from the good things that are seen.

They didn’t recognize the architect from his works.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.2: 2 But they thought that either fire, or wind, or swift air,

or circling stars, or raging water, or luminaries of heaven

were gods that rule the world.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.3: 3 If it was through delight in their beauty that they took them to be gods,

let them know how much better their Sovereign Lord is than these,

for the first author of beauty created them.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.4: 4 But if it was through astonishment at their power and influence,

then let them understand from them how much more powerful he who formed them is.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.5: 5 For from the greatness of the beauty of created things,

mankind forms the corresponding image of their Maker.1

Wisdom of Solomon 13.6: 6 But yet for these men there is but small blame,

for they too perhaps go astray

while they are seeking God and desiring to find him.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.7: 7 For they diligently search while living among his works,

and they trust their sight that the things that they look at are beautiful.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.8: 8 But again even they are not to be excused.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.9: 9 For if they had power to know so much,

that they should be able to explore the world,

how is it that they didn’t find the Sovereign Lord sooner?

Wisdom of Solomon 13.10: 10 But miserable 2 were they, and 3 in dead things 4 were their hopes,

Who called them gods which are works of men’s hands,

gold and silver, skillfully made, and likenesses of animals,

or a useless stone, the work of an ancient hand.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.11: 11 Yes and if some 5 woodcutter, having sawn down a 6 tree that is easily moved,

skillfully strips away all its bark,

and fashioning it in attractive form, makes a useful vessel to serve his life’s needs.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.12: 12 Burning the scraps from his handiwork to cook his food,

he eats his fill.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.13: 13 Taking a discarded scrap which served no purpose,

a crooked piece of wood and full of knots,

carves it with the diligence of his idleness,

and shapes it by the skill of his 7 idleness.

He shapes it in the image of a man,

Wisdom of Solomon 13.14: 14 or makes it like some paltry animal,

smearing it with something red, painting it red,

and smearing over every stain in it.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.15: 15 Having made a worthy chamber for it,

he sets it in a wall, securing it with iron.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.16: 16 He plans for it that it may not fall down,

knowing that it is unable to help itself

(for truly it is an image, and needs help).

Wisdom of Solomon 13.17: 17 When he makes his prayer concerning goods and his marriage and children,

he is not ashamed to speak to that which has no life.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.18: 18 Yes, for health, he calls upon that which is weak.

For life, he implores that which is dead.

For aid, he supplicates that which has no experience.

For a good journey, he asks that which can’t so much as move a step.

Wisdom of Solomon 13.19: 19 And for profit in business and good success of his hands,

he asks ability from that which has hands with no ability.
