Bible

Genesis 1.2: 2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

Genesis 1.4: 4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.

Genesis 1.5: 5 God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.

Genesis 1.6: 6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

Genesis 1.7: 7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

Genesis 1.8: 8 God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

Genesis 1.9: 9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so.

Genesis 1.10: 10 God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1.11: 11 God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so.

Genesis 1.12: 12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1.14: 14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years;

Genesis 1.15: 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so.

Genesis 1.16: 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

Genesis 1.17: 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth,

Genesis 1.18: 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1.20: 20 God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”

Genesis 1.21: 21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1.22: 22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

Genesis 1.24: 24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;” and it was so.

Genesis 1.25: 25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1.26: 26 God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Genesis 1.27: 27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1.28: 28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Genesis 1.29: 29 God said, “Behold,2 I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

Genesis 1.30: 30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.

Genesis 1.31: 31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Genesis 2.2: 2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.

Genesis 2.3: 3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.

Genesis 2.4: 4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh1 God made the earth and the heavens.

Genesis 2.5: 5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,

Genesis 2.6: 6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.

Genesis 2.7: 7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2.8: 8 Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Genesis 2.9: 9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2.10: 10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.

Genesis 2.11: 11 The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

Genesis 2.12: 12 and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium2 and onyx stone are also there.

Genesis 2.13: 13 The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.

Genesis 2.14: 14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

Genesis 2.15: 15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.

Genesis 2.16: 16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;

Genesis 2.17: 17 but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

Genesis 2.18: 18 Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to3 him.”

Genesis 2.19: 19 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.

Genesis 2.20: 20 The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him.

Genesis 2.21: 21 Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

Genesis 2.22: 22 Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.

Genesis 2.23: 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.”

Genesis 2.24: 24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

Genesis 2.25: 25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.

Genesis 3.1: 3Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”

Genesis 3.2: 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,

Genesis 3.3: 3 but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’”

Genesis 3.5: 5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Genesis 3.6: 6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.

Genesis 3.7: 7 Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.

Genesis 3.8: 8 They heard Yahweh God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

Genesis 3.9: 9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”

Genesis 3.10: 10 The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”

Genesis 3.11: 11 God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

Genesis 3.12: 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

Genesis 3.19: 19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground,

Genesis 3.20: 20 The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.

Genesis 3.21: 21 Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

Genesis 3.22: 22 Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”

Genesis 3.23: 23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

Genesis 3.24: 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim1 at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

Genesis 4.1: 4The man knew1 Eve his wife. She conceived,2 and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.”

Genesis 4.2: 2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Genesis 4.3: 3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.

Genesis 4.4: 4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,

Genesis 4.5: 5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.

Genesis 4.6: 6 Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?

Genesis 4.7: 7 If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”

Genesis 4.8: 8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.

Genesis 4.10: 10 Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.

Genesis 4.11: 11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

Genesis 4.12: 12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”

Genesis 4.13: 13 Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.

Genesis 4.14: 14 Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

Genesis 4.15: 15 Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.

Genesis 4.16: 16 Cain left Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

Genesis 4.17: 17 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

Genesis 4.18: 18 Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.

Genesis 4.19: 19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.

Genesis 4.20: 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

Genesis 4.21: 21 His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.

Genesis 4.22: 22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.

Genesis 4.25: 25 Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”

Genesis 4.26: 26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Yahweh’s name.

Genesis 5.1: 5This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in God’s likeness.

Genesis 5.2: 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them. On the day they were created, he named them Adam.1

Genesis 5.3: 3 Adam lived one hundred thirty years, and became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

Genesis 5.4: 4 The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he became the father of other sons and daughters.

Genesis 5.5: 5 All the days that Adam lived were nine hundred thirty years, then he died.

Genesis 5.6: 6 Seth lived one hundred five years, then became the father of Enosh.

Genesis 5.7: 7 Seth lived after he became the father of Enosh eight hundred seven years, and became the father of other sons and daughters.

Genesis 5.8: 8 All of the days of Seth were nine hundred twelve years, then he died.

Genesis 5.10: 10 Enosh lived after he became the father of Kenan eight hundred fifteen years, and became the father of other sons and daughters.

Genesis 5.11: 11 All of the days of Enosh were nine hundred five years, then he died.

Genesis 5.12: 12 Kenan lived seventy years, then became the father of Mahalalel.

Genesis 5.13: 13 Kenan lived after he became the father of Mahalalel eight hundred forty years, and became the father of other sons and daughters

Genesis 5.14: 14 and all of the days of Kenan were nine hundred ten years, then he died.

Genesis 5.15: 15 Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, then became the father of Jared.

Genesis 5.16: 16 Mahalalel lived after he became the father of Jared eight hundred thirty years, and became the father of other sons and daughters.

Genesis 5.17: 17 All of the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred ninety-five years, then he died.

Genesis 5.18: 18 Jared lived one hundred sixty-two years, then became the father of Enoch.

Genesis 5.19: 19 Jared lived after he became the father of Enoch eight hundred years, and became the father of other sons and daughters.

Genesis 5.20: 20 All of the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty-two years, then he died.

Genesis 5.21: 21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, then became the father of Methuselah.

Genesis 5.22: 22 After Methuselah’s birth, Enoch walked with God for three hundred years, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 5.25: 25 Methuselah lived one hundred eighty-seven years, then became the father of Lamech.

Genesis 5.26: 26 Methuselah lived after he became the father of Lamech seven hundred eighty-two years, and became the father of other sons and daughters.

Genesis 5.27: 27 All the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty-nine years, then he died.

Genesis 5.28: 28 Lamech lived one hundred eighty-two years, then became the father of a son.

Genesis 5.29: 29 He named him Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, caused by the ground which Yahweh has cursed.”

Genesis 5.30: 30 Lamech lived after he became the father of Noah five hundred ninety-five years, and became the father of other sons and daughters.

Genesis 5.31: 31 All the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy-seven years, then he died.

Genesis 5.32: 32 Noah was five hundred years old, then Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 6.1: 6When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

Genesis 6.2: 2 God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.

Genesis 6.3: 3 Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred twenty years.”

Genesis 6.4: 4 The Nephilim1 were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Genesis 6.5: 5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

Genesis 6.6: 6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

Genesis 6.7: 7 Yahweh said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.”

Genesis 6.9: 9 This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

Genesis 6.11: 11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

Genesis 6.12: 12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

Genesis 6.13: 13 God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth.

Genesis 6.14: 14 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.

Genesis 6.15: 15 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits,2 its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

Genesis 6.16: 16 You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.

Genesis 6.17: 17 I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

Genesis 6.18: 18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

Genesis 6.19: 19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

Genesis 6.20: 20 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.

Genesis 6.21: 21 Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”

Genesis 7.1: 7Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

Genesis 7.2: 2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

Genesis 7.3: 3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

Genesis 7.4: 4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”

Genesis 7.6: 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

Genesis 7.7: 7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.

Genesis 7.8: 8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

Genesis 7.9: 9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

Genesis 7.11: 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.

Genesis 7.13: 13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—

Genesis 7.14: 14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

Genesis 7.15: 15 Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.

Genesis 7.16: 16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in.

Genesis 7.17: 17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

Genesis 7.18: 18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

Genesis 7.19: 19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

Genesis 7.20: 20 The waters rose fifteen cubits1 higher, and the mountains were covered.

Genesis 7.21: 21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

Genesis 7.22: 22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

Genesis 7.23: 23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

Genesis 8.1: 8God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

Genesis 8.2: 2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

Genesis 8.3: 3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.

Genesis 8.4: 4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.

Genesis 8.5: 5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.

Genesis 8.6: 6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

Genesis 8.7: 7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

Genesis 8.8: 8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

Genesis 8.9: 9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

Genesis 8.10: 10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.

Genesis 8.11: 11 The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

Genesis 8.12: 12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.

Genesis 8.13: 13 In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

Genesis 8.14: 14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

Genesis 8.16: 16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.

Genesis 8.17: 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”

Genesis 8.18: 18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.

Genesis 8.19: 19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

Genesis 8.20: 20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

Genesis 8.21: 21 Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.

Genesis 8.22: 22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

Genesis 11.2: 2 As they traveled from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

Genesis 11.3: 3 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

Genesis 11.4: 4 They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”

Genesis 11.5: 5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

Genesis 11.6: 6 Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

Genesis 11.7: 7 Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

Genesis 11.8: 8 So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

Genesis 11.9: 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

Genesis 11.10: 10 This is the history of the generations of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.

Genesis 11.11: 11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 11.12: 12 Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the father of Shelah.

Genesis 11.13: 13 Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Shelah, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 11.15: 15 Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Eber, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 11.17: 17 Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 11.19: 19 Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 11.21: 21 Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 11.23: 23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 11.24: 24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah.

Genesis 11.25: 25 Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Genesis 11.26: 26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

Genesis 11.27: 27 Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot.

Genesis 11.28: 28 Haran died in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees, while his father Terah was still alive.

Genesis 11.29: 29 Abram and Nahor married wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, who was also the father of Iscah.

Genesis 11.31: 31 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife. They went from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

Genesis 11.32: 32 The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.

Genesis 12.1: 12Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.

Genesis 12.2: 2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

Genesis 12.3: 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

Genesis 12.4: 4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Genesis 12.5: 5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.

Genesis 12.6: 6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.

Genesis 12.7: 7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” 1

Genesis 12.8: 8 He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name.

Genesis 12.10: 10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.

Genesis 12.11: 11 When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

Genesis 12.12: 12 It will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.

Genesis 12.13: 13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”

Genesis 12.14: 14 When Abram had come into Egypt, Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

Genesis 12.15: 15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

Genesis 12.16: 16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

Genesis 12.17: 17 Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

Genesis 12.18: 18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?

Genesis 12.19: 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”

Genesis 12.20: 20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.

Genesis 13.1: 13Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.

Genesis 13.3: 3 He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

Genesis 13.4: 4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name.

Genesis 13.6: 6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.

Genesis 13.7: 7 There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.

Genesis 13.8: 8 Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.

Genesis 13.9: 9 Isn’t the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”

Genesis 13.10: 10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

Genesis 13.11: 11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one other.

Genesis 13.12: 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

Genesis 13.13: 13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

Genesis 13.14: 14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

Genesis 13.15: 15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.

Genesis 13.16: 16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.

Genesis 13.17: 17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”

Genesis 13.18: 18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

Genesis 14.1: 14In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar; Arioch, king of Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; and Tidal, king of Goiim,

Genesis 14.2: 2 they made war with Bera, king of Sodom; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim; and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).

Genesis 14.3: 3 All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).

Genesis 14.4: 4 They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

Genesis 14.5: 5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings who were with him, and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

Genesis 14.6: 6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.

Genesis 14.7: 7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.

Genesis 14.8: 8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim

Genesis 14.9: 9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

Genesis 14.10: 10 Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and some fell there. Those who remained fled to the hills.

Genesis 14.11: 11 They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.

Genesis 14.12: 12 They took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

Genesis 14.13: 13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. They were allies of Abram.

Genesis 14.14: 14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his three hundred eighteen trained men, born in his house, and pursued as far as Dan.

Genesis 14.15: 15 He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

Genesis 14.16: 16 He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.

Genesis 14.17: 17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).

Genesis 14.18: 18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.

Genesis 14.19: 19 He blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.

Genesis 14.20: 20 Blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

Genesis 14.21: 21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”

Genesis 14.22: 22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

Genesis 14.23: 23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’

Genesis 14.24: 24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.”

Genesis 15.1: 15After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

Genesis 15.2: 2 Abram said, “Lord1 Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”

Genesis 15.3: 3 Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”

Genesis 15.4: 4 Behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.”

Genesis 15.5: 5 Yahweh brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.”

Genesis 15.6: 6 He believed in Yahweh, who credited it to him for righteousness.

Genesis 15.7: 7 He said to Abram, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.”

Genesis 15.8: 8 He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”

Genesis 15.9: 9 He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

Genesis 15.10: 10 He brought him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds.

Genesis 15.11: 11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

Genesis 15.12: 12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.

Genesis 15.13: 13 He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.

Genesis 15.14: 14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;

Genesis 15.15: 15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age.

Genesis 15.16: 16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”

Genesis 15.17: 17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

Genesis 15.18: 18 In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

Genesis 15.21: 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

Genesis 16.1: 16Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

Genesis 16.2: 2 Sarai said to Abram, “See now, Yahweh has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

Genesis 16.3: 3 Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.

Genesis 16.4: 4 He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

Genesis 16.5: 5 Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. May Yahweh judge between me and you.”

Genesis 16.6: 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

Genesis 16.7: 7 Yahweh’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

Genesis 16.8: 8 He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?”

Genesis 16.9: 9 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”

Genesis 16.10: 10 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”

Genesis 16.11: 11 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction.

Genesis 16.12: 12 He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers.”

Genesis 16.13: 13 She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”

Genesis 16.14: 14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi.1 Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

Genesis 16.15: 15 Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

Genesis 16.16: 16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Genesis 17.1: 17When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.

Genesis 17.2: 2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

Genesis 17.4: 4 “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

Genesis 17.5: 5 Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

Genesis 17.6: 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

Genesis 17.7: 7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.

Genesis 17.8: 8 I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”

Genesis 17.9: 9 God said to Abraham, “As for you, you will keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.

Genesis 17.10: 10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

Genesis 17.11: 11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

Genesis 17.12: 12 He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring.

Genesis 17.13: 13 He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Genesis 17.14: 14 The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

Genesis 17.15: 15 God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.

Genesis 17.16: 16 I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”

Genesis 17.17: 17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”

Genesis 17.18: 18 Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”

Genesis 17.19: 19 God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac.1 I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.

Genesis 17.20: 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

Genesis 17.21: 21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

Genesis 17.23: 23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money: every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.

Genesis 17.24: 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

Genesis 17.25: 25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

Genesis 17.26: 26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

Genesis 17.27: 27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

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.”

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

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.

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 18.18: 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?”

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

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?”

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?”

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?”

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

Genesis 19.1: 19The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,

Genesis 19.2: 2 and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.”

Genesis 19.3: 3 He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

Genesis 19.4: 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.

Genesis 19.5: 5 They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”

Genesis 19.6: 6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.

Genesis 19.8: 8 See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”

Genesis 19.9: 9 They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.

Genesis 19.10: 10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

Genesis 19.11: 11 They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

Genesis 19.12: 12 The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:

Genesis 19.13: 13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”

Genesis 19.14: 14 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city!”

Genesis 19.15: 15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”

Genesis 19.16: 16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.

Genesis 19.17: 17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”

Genesis 19.19: 19 See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.

Genesis 19.20: 20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”

Genesis 19.21: 21 He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

Genesis 19.22: 22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.1

Genesis 19.24: 24 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.

Genesis 19.25: 25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.

Genesis 19.26: 26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Genesis 19.27: 27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.

Genesis 19.28: 28 He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

Genesis 19.29: 29 When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

Genesis 19.30: 30 Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.

Genesis 19.31: 31 The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.

Genesis 19.32: 32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”

Genesis 19.33: 33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

Genesis 19.34: 34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”

Genesis 19.35: 35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.

Genesis 19.36: 36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.

Genesis 19.37: 37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

Genesis 19.38: 38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

Genesis 20.1: 20Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.

Genesis 20.2: 2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Genesis 20.3: 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.”

Genesis 20.4: 4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?

Genesis 20.5: 5 Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”

Genesis 20.6: 6 God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her.

Genesis 20.7: 7 Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”

Genesis 20.8: 8 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.

Genesis 20.9: 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!”

Genesis 20.10: 10 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have done this thing?”

Genesis 20.11: 11 Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife’s sake.’

Genesis 20.12: 12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

Genesis 20.13: 13 When God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”

Genesis 20.14: 14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.

Genesis 20.15: 15 Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.”

Genesis 20.16: 16 To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”

Genesis 20.17: 17 Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.

Genesis 20.18: 18 For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

Genesis 21.1: 21Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.

Genesis 21.2: 2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

Genesis 21.3: 3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. 1

Genesis 21.4: 4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

Genesis 21.5: 5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.

Genesis 21.6: 6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

Genesis 21.7: 7 She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

Genesis 21.8: 8 The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

Genesis 21.9: 9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

Genesis 21.10: 10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

Genesis 21.11: 11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

Genesis 21.12: 12 God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.

Genesis 21.13: 13 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”

Genesis 21.14: 14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

Genesis 21.15: 15 The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.

Genesis 21.16: 16 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.

The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

Genesis 21.18: 18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”

Genesis 21.19: 19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.

Genesis 21.20: 20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, became an archer.

Genesis 21.21: 21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

Genesis 21.22: 22 At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.

Genesis 21.23: 23 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”

Genesis 21.25: 25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

Genesis 21.26: 26 Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”

Genesis 21.27: 27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.

Genesis 21.29: 29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”

Genesis 21.30: 30 He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”

Genesis 21.31: 31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba,2 because they both swore an oath there.

Genesis 21.32: 32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

Genesis 21.33: 33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

Genesis 21.34: 34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.

Genesis 22.1: 22After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”

Genesis 22.2: 2 He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”

Genesis 22.3: 3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

Genesis 22.4: 4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.

Genesis 22.5: 5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”

Genesis 22.6: 6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

Genesis 22.8: 8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.

Genesis 22.9: 9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

Genesis 22.10: 10 Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

Genesis 22.11: 11 Yahweh’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”

Genesis 22.12: 12 He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

Genesis 22.13: 13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

Genesis 22.14: 14 Abraham called the name of that place “Yahweh Will Provide”.1 As it is said to this day, “On Yahweh’s mountain, it will be provided.”

Genesis 22.15: 15 Yahweh’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,

Genesis 22.16: 16 and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says Yahweh, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

Genesis 22.17: 17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.

Genesis 22.18: 18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”

Genesis 22.19: 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

Genesis 22.20: 20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

Genesis 22.23: 23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

Genesis 22.24: 24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

Genesis 23.1: 23Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.

Genesis 23.2: 2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

Genesis 23.3: 3 Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,

Genesis 23.4: 4 “I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”

Genesis 23.6: 6 “Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”

Genesis 23.7: 7 Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.

Genesis 23.8: 8 He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,

Genesis 23.9: 9 that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me among you as a possession for a burial place.”

Genesis 23.10: 10 Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,

Genesis 23.11: 11 “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”

Genesis 23.13: 13 He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”

Genesis 23.15: 15 “My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver1 between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”

Genesis 23.16: 16 Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.

Genesis 23.17: 17 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded

Genesis 23.18: 18 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

Genesis 23.19: 19 After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.

Genesis 23.20: 20 The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.

Genesis 24.1: 24Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.

Genesis 24.2: 2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.

Genesis 24.3: 3 I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.

Genesis 24.4: 4 But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

Genesis 24.5: 5 The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”

Genesis 24.6: 6 Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.

Genesis 24.7: 7 Yahweh, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

Genesis 24.8: 8 If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”

Genesis 24.9: 9 The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

Genesis 24.10: 10 The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

Genesis 24.11: 11 He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.

Genesis 24.12: 12 He said, “Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

Genesis 24.13: 13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

Genesis 24.14: 14 Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”

Genesis 24.15: 15 Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.

Genesis 24.16: 16 The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.

Genesis 24.17: 17 The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”

Genesis 24.18: 18 She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.

Genesis 24.19: 19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”

Genesis 24.20: 20 She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.

Genesis 24.21: 21 The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.

Genesis 24.22: 22 As the camels had done drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel1 weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,

Genesis 24.23: 23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”

Genesis 24.24: 24 She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”

Genesis 24.25: 25 She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”

Genesis 24.27: 27 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”

Genesis 24.28: 28 The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.

Genesis 24.29: 29 Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

Genesis 24.30: 30 When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

Genesis 24.31: 31 He said, “Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”

Genesis 24.32: 32 The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

Genesis 24.33: 33 Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.”

Genesis 24.35: 35 Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. Yahweh has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

Genesis 24.36: 36 Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.

Genesis 24.37: 37 My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,

Genesis 24.38: 38 but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’

Genesis 24.39: 39 I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’

Genesis 24.40: 40 He said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.

Genesis 24.41: 41 Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’

Genesis 24.42: 42 I came today to the spring, and said, ‘Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—

Genesis 24.43: 43 behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”

Genesis 24.44: 44 then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master’s son.’

Genesis 24.45: 45 Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’

Genesis 24.46: 46 She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.

Genesis 24.47: 47 I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

Genesis 24.48: 48 I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.

Genesis 24.49: 49 Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”

Genesis 24.50: 50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can’t speak to you bad or good.

Genesis 24.51: 51 Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Yahweh has spoken.”

Genesis 24.52: 52 When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.

Genesis 24.53: 53 The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.

Genesis 24.54: 54 They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”

Genesis 24.55: 55 Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”

Genesis 24.56: 56 He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”

Genesis 24.58: 58 They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?”

Genesis 24.59: 59 They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.

Genesis 24.60: 60 They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”

Genesis 24.61: 61 Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

Genesis 24.62: 62 Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.

Genesis 24.63: 63 Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.

Genesis 24.64: 64 Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.

Genesis 24.65: 65 She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?”

Genesis 24.67: 67 Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

Genesis 25.3: 3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

Genesis 25.4: 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

Genesis 25.6: 6 but Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Abraham’s concubines. While he still lived, he sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward, to the east country.

Genesis 25.7: 7 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.

Genesis 25.8: 8 Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

Genesis 25.9: 9 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is near Mamre,

Genesis 25.10: 10 the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.

Genesis 25.11: 11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

Genesis 25.12: 12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.

Genesis 25.13: 13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

Genesis 25.16: 16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.

Genesis 25.17: 17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.

Genesis 25.18: 18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

Genesis 25.19: 19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

Genesis 25.20: 20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

Genesis 25.21: 21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

Genesis 25.22: 22 The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh.

Genesis 25.24: 24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

Genesis 25.25: 25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

Genesis 25.26: 26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

Genesis 25.27: 27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

Genesis 25.28: 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

Genesis 25.29: 29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

Genesis 25.30: 30 Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.1

Genesis 25.32: 32 Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”

Genesis 25.34: 34 Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

Genesis 26.1: 26There was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

Genesis 26.2: 2 Yahweh appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.

Genesis 26.3: 3 Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

Genesis 26.4: 4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,

Genesis 26.5: 5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”

Genesis 26.7: 7 The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “My wife”, lest, he thought, “the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at.”

Genesis 26.8: 8 When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.

Genesis 26.9: 9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister?’”

Genesis 26.10: 10 Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”

Genesis 26.11: 11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

Genesis 26.12: 12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.

Genesis 26.13: 13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

Genesis 26.14: 14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.

Genesis 26.15: 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.

Genesis 26.16: 16 Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”

Genesis 26.17: 17 Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.

Genesis 26.18: 18 Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

Genesis 26.19: 19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

Genesis 26.20: 20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

Genesis 26.21: 21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.

Genesis 26.22: 22 He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

Genesis 26.24: 24 Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”

Genesis 26.25: 25 He built an altar there, and called on Yahweh’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug a well.

Genesis 26.26: 26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.

Genesis 26.27: 27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”

Genesis 26.28: 28 They said, “We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let’s make a covenant with you,

Genesis 26.29: 29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.’ You are now the blessed of Yahweh.”

Genesis 26.31: 31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to one another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

Genesis 26.32: 32 The same day, Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”

Genesis 26.33: 33 He called it “Shibah”.1 Therefore the name of the city is “Beersheba”2 to this day.

Genesis 26.34: 34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

Genesis 27.1: 27When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?”

Genesis 27.2: 2 He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.

Genesis 27.3: 3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.

Genesis 27.4: 4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”

Genesis 27.5: 5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

Genesis 27.6: 6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

Genesis 27.7: 7 ‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’

Genesis 27.8: 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.

Genesis 27.9: 9 Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.

Genesis 27.10: 10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”

Genesis 27.11: 11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

Genesis 27.12: 12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”

Genesis 27.13: 13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”

Genesis 27.14: 14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

Genesis 27.15: 15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.

Genesis 27.16: 16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.

Genesis 27.17: 17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

Genesis 27.19: 19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”

Genesis 27.20: 20 Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?”

Genesis 27.21: 21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”

Genesis 27.22: 22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”

Genesis 27.23: 23 He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.

Genesis 27.25: 25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.”

Genesis 27.26: 26 His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”

Genesis 27.27: 27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said,

Genesis 27.30: 30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

Genesis 27.31: 31 He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”

Genesis 27.33: 33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”

Genesis 27.34: 34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”

Genesis 27.35: 35 He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”

Genesis 27.36: 36 He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”

Genesis 27.37: 37 Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”

Genesis 27.38: 38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

Genesis 27.41: 41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

Genesis 27.42: 42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.

Genesis 27.43: 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.

Genesis 27.44: 44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—

Genesis 27.45: 45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”

Genesis 27.46: 46 Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”

Genesis 28.1: 28Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

Genesis 28.2: 2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.

Genesis 28.3: 3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,

Genesis 28.4: 4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”

Genesis 28.5: 5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.

Genesis 28.6: 6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”

Genesis 28.7: 7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.

Genesis 28.8: 8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.

Genesis 28.9: 9 Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.

Genesis 28.11: 11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.

Genesis 28.12: 12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

Genesis 28.13: 13 Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.

Genesis 28.14: 14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.

Genesis 28.15: 15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”

Genesis 28.16: 16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”

Genesis 28.17: 17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”

Genesis 28.18: 18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.

Genesis 28.19: 19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.

Genesis 28.20: 20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,

Genesis 28.21: 21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God,

Genesis 28.22: 22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”

Genesis 29.1: 29Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.

Genesis 29.2: 2 He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.

Genesis 29.3: 3 There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well’s mouth in its place.

They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”

Genesis 29.7: 7 He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”

Genesis 29.8: 8 They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we water the sheep.”

Genesis 29.9: 9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.

Genesis 29.10: 10 When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.

Genesis 29.12: 12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.

Genesis 29.13: 13 When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.

Genesis 29.14: 14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.

Genesis 29.15: 15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”

Genesis 29.16: 16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

Genesis 29.17: 17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

Genesis 29.18: 18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”

Genesis 29.19: 19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”

Genesis 29.20: 20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

Genesis 29.21: 21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”

Genesis 29.22: 22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

Genesis 29.23: 23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.

Genesis 29.24: 24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.

Genesis 29.25: 25 In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”

Genesis 29.26: 26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

Genesis 29.27: 27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”

Genesis 29.28: 28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.

Genesis 29.29: 29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.

Genesis 29.30: 30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.

Genesis 29.31: 31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

Genesis 29.32: 32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”

Genesis 29.33: 33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.

Genesis 29.34: 34 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.

Genesis 29.35: 35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise Yahweh.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

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 30.6: 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 30.13: 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.”

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 30.20: 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 30.22: 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 30.29: 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?”

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 30.35: 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 31.1: 31Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.”

Genesis 31.2: 2 Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

Genesis 31.3: 3 Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”

Genesis 31.4: 4 Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,

Genesis 31.5: 5 and said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

Genesis 31.6: 6 You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.

Genesis 31.7: 7 Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t allow him to hurt me.

Genesis 31.8: 8 If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked.

Genesis 31.9: 9 Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given them to me.

Genesis 31.10: 10 During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

Genesis 31.11: 11 The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’

Genesis 31.12: 12 He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.

Genesis 31.13: 13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”

Genesis 31.14: 14 Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?

Genesis 31.15: 15 Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up our money.

Genesis 31.16: 16 For all the riches which God has taken away from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”

Genesis 31.17: 17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,

Genesis 31.18: 18 and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.

Genesis 31.19: 19 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim 1 that were her father’s.

Genesis 31.20: 20 Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.

Genesis 31.21: 21 So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.

Genesis 31.23: 23 He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.

Genesis 31.24: 24 God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”

Genesis 31.25: 25 Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead.

Genesis 31.26: 26 Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?

Genesis 31.27: 27 Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;

Genesis 31.28: 28 and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.

Genesis 31.29: 29 It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’

Genesis 31.30: 30 Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”

Genesis 31.31: 31 Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.’

Genesis 31.32: 32 Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know that Rachel had stolen them.

Genesis 31.33: 33 Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn’t find them. He went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.

Genesis 31.34: 34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t find them.

Genesis 31.35: 35 She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim.

Genesis 31.36: 36 Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?

Genesis 31.37: 37 Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two.

Genesis 31.38: 38 “These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.

Genesis 31.39: 39 That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

Genesis 31.40: 40 This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.

Genesis 31.41: 41 These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

Genesis 31.42: 42 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”

Genesis 31.43: 43 Laban answered Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine! What can I do today to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

Genesis 31.44: 44 Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.”

Genesis 31.46: 46 Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.

Genesis 31.47: 47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha,2 but Jacob called it Galeed.3

Genesis 31.48: 48 Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named Galeed

Genesis 31.49: 49 and Mizpah, for he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.

Genesis 31.50: 50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”

Genesis 31.51: 51 Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.

Genesis 31.52: 52 May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

Genesis 31.53: 53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac.

Genesis 31.54: 54 Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain.

Genesis 31.55: 55 Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.

Genesis 32.2: 2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.

Genesis 32.3: 3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.

Genesis 32.4: 4 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.

Genesis 32.5: 5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”

Genesis 32.6: 6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”

Genesis 32.7: 7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;

Genesis 32.8: 8 and he said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”

Genesis 32.9: 9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’

Genesis 32.10: 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

Genesis 32.11: 11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.

Genesis 32.12: 12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”

Genesis 32.13: 13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:

Genesis 32.14: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

Genesis 32.15: 15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.

Genesis 32.16: 16 He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”

Genesis 32.17: 17 He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’

Genesis 32.18: 18 Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”

Genesis 32.19: 19 He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.

Genesis 32.20: 20 You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”

Genesis 32.21: 21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.

Genesis 32.22: 22 He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.

Genesis 32.23: 23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.

Genesis 32.24: 24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.

Genesis 32.25: 25 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.

Genesis 32.28: 28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

Genesis 32.30: 30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel;1 for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”

Genesis 32.31: 31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.

Genesis 32.32: 32 Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.

Genesis 33.1: 33Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.

Genesis 33.2: 2 He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

Genesis 33.3: 3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

Genesis 33.4: 4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.

Genesis 33.5: 5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?”

Genesis 33.6: 6 Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.

Genesis 33.7: 7 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

Genesis 33.8: 8 Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?”

Genesis 33.9: 9 Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”

Genesis 33.10: 10 Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

Genesis 33.11: 11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.

Genesis 33.12: 12 Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.”

Genesis 33.13: 13 Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.

Genesis 33.14: 14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”

Genesis 33.15: 15 Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.”

Genesis 33.17: 17 Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.1

Genesis 33.18: 18 Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.

Genesis 33.19: 19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.

Genesis 34.1: 34Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

Genesis 34.2: 2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.

Genesis 34.3: 3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.

Genesis 34.4: 4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”

Genesis 34.5: 5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.

Genesis 34.7: 7 The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing ought not to be done.

Genesis 34.8: 8 Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

Genesis 34.9: 9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

Genesis 34.10: 10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”

Genesis 34.11: 11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.

Genesis 34.12: 12 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”

Genesis 34.13: 13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

Genesis 34.14: 14 and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.

Genesis 34.15: 15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,

Genesis 34.16: 16 then will we give our daughters to you; and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

Genesis 34.17: 17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister,1 and we will be gone.”

Genesis 34.19: 19 The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.

Genesis 34.20: 20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,

Genesis 34.21: 21 “These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters.

Genesis 34.22: 22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.

Genesis 34.23: 23 Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”

Genesis 34.24: 24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.

Genesis 34.25: 25 On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.

Genesis 34.26: 26 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

Genesis 34.27: 27 Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

Genesis 34.28: 28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,

Genesis 34.29: 29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.

Genesis 34.30: 30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”

Genesis 34.31: 31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”

Genesis 35.1: 35God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”

Genesis 35.2: 2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

Genesis 35.3: 3 Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”

Genesis 35.4: 4 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

Genesis 35.5: 5 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.

Genesis 35.6: 6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

Genesis 35.7: 7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

Genesis 35.8: 8 Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

Genesis 35.9: 9 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

Genesis 35.10: 10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.

Genesis 35.11: 11 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

Genesis 35.12: 12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”

Genesis 35.14: 14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

Genesis 35.15: 15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel”.

Genesis 35.16: 16 They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

Genesis 35.17: 17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”

Genesis 35.18: 18 As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni,1 but his father named him Benjamin.2

Genesis 35.19: 19 Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).

Genesis 35.20: 20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

Genesis 35.21: 21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

Genesis 35.22: 22 While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it.

Genesis 35.23: 23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

Genesis 35.26: 26 The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s servant): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

Genesis 35.27: 27 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

Genesis 35.29: 29 Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.

Genesis 36.1: 36Now this is the history of the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).

Genesis 36.2: 2 Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon, the Hittite; and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite;

Genesis 36.5: 5 Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

Genesis 36.6: 6 Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, with his livestock, all his animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went into a land away from his brother Jacob.

Genesis 36.7: 7 For their substance was too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn’t bear them because of their livestock.

Genesis 36.9: 9 This is the history of the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir:

Genesis 36.10: 10 these are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Adah, the wife of Esau; and Reuel, the son of Basemath, the wife of Esau.

Genesis 36.11: 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.

Genesis 36.12: 12 Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau’s son; and she bore to Eliphaz Amalek. These are the descendants of Adah, Esau’s wife.

Genesis 36.13: 13 These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the descendants of Basemath, Esau’s wife.

Genesis 36.14: 14 These were the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: she bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

Genesis 36.15: 15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,

Genesis 36.16: 16 chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs who came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Adah.

Genesis 36.17: 17 These are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs who came of Reuel in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.

Genesis 36.18: 18 These are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife: chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah. These are the chiefs who came of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.

Genesis 36.19: 19 These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these are their chiefs.

Genesis 36.20: 20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

Genesis 36.21: 21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs who came of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

Genesis 36.22: 22 The children of Lotan were Hori and Heman. Lotan’s sister was Timna.

Genesis 36.23: 23 These are the children of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

Genesis 36.24: 24 These are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the donkeys of Zibeon his father.

Genesis 36.25: 25 These are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah.

Genesis 36.26: 26 These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.

Genesis 36.29: 29 These are the chiefs who came of the Horites: chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah,

Genesis 36.30: 30 chief Dishon, chief Ezer, and chief Dishan. These are the chiefs who came of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.

Genesis 36.31: 31 These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Israel.

Genesis 36.32: 32 Bela, the son of Beor, reigned in Edom. The name of his city was Dinhabah.

Genesis 36.33: 33 Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah, reigned in his place.

Genesis 36.34: 34 Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

Genesis 36.35: 35 Husham died, and Hadad, the son of Bedad, who struck Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith.

Genesis 36.37: 37 Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth by the river, reigned in his place.

Genesis 36.38: 38 Shaul died, and Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.

Genesis 36.39: 39 Baal Hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place. The name of his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

Genesis 36.40: 40 These are the names of the chiefs who came from Esau, according to their families, after their places, and by their names: chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,

Genesis 36.43: 43 chief Magdiel, and chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites.

Genesis 37.1: 37Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan.

Genesis 37.2: 2 This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.

Genesis 37.3: 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a tunic of many colors.

Genesis 37.4: 4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.

Genesis 37.5: 5 Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.

Genesis 37.6: 6 He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:

Genesis 37.7: 7 for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”

Genesis 37.8: 8 His brothers asked him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.

Genesis 37.9: 9 He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”

Genesis 37.10: 10 He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?”

Genesis 37.11: 11 His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.

Genesis 37.13: 13 Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”

Genesis 37.14: 14 He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

Genesis 37.15: 15 A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”

Genesis 37.16: 16 He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”

Genesis 37.17: 17 The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’”

Genesis 37.18: 18 They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.

Genesis 37.20: 20 Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”

Genesis 37.21: 21 Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”

Genesis 37.22: 22 Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.

Genesis 37.23: 23 When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him;

Genesis 37.24: 24 and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.

Genesis 37.25: 25 They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

Genesis 37.26: 26 Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

Genesis 37.27: 27 Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.

Genesis 37.28: 28 Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.

Genesis 37.29: 29 Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

Genesis 37.30: 30 He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”

Genesis 37.31: 31 They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood.

Genesis 37.32: 32 They took the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic or not.”

Genesis 37.33: 33 He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”

Genesis 37.34: 34 Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

Genesis 37.35: 35 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol1 to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him.

Genesis 37.36: 36 The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.

Genesis 38.1: 38At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

Genesis 38.2: 2 There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.

Genesis 38.5: 5 She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.

Genesis 38.6: 6 Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

Genesis 38.7: 7 Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in Yahweh’s sight. So Yahweh killed him.

Genesis 38.8: 8 Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”

Genesis 38.9: 9 Onan knew that the offspring wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.

Genesis 38.10: 10 The thing which he did was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and he killed him also.

Genesis 38.11: 11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;” for he said, “Lest he also die, like his brothers.” Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.

Genesis 38.12: 12 After many days, Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.

Genesis 38.13: 13 Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”

Genesis 38.14: 14 She took off the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn’t given to him as a wife.

Genesis 38.15: 15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.

Genesis 38.16: 16 He turned to her by the way, and said, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he didn’t know that she was his daughter-in-law.

Genesis 38.19: 19 She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

Genesis 38.20: 20 Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand, but he didn’t find her.

Genesis 38.21: 21 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?”

Genesis 38.22: 22 He returned to Judah, and said, “I haven’t found her; and also the men of the place said, ‘There has been no prostitute here.’”

Genesis 38.23: 23 Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”

Genesis 38.24: 24 About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute. Moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.”

Genesis 38.25: 25 When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man who owns these.” She also said, “Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cords, and the staff.”

Genesis 38.26: 26 Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.”

Genesis 38.28: 28 When she travailed, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This came out first.”

Genesis 38.29: 29 As he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” Therefore his name was called Perez.1

Genesis 38.30: 30 Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.2

Genesis 39.1: 39Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.

Genesis 39.2: 2 Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

Genesis 39.3: 3 His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.

Genesis 39.4: 4 Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

Genesis 39.5: 5 From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.

Genesis 39.6: 6 He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate.

Genesis 39.7: 7 After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”

Genesis 39.8: 8 But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.

Genesis 39.9: 9 No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

Genesis 39.10: 10 As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

Genesis 39.11: 11 About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.

Genesis 39.13: 13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,

Genesis 39.14: 14 she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

Genesis 39.15: 15 When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”

Genesis 39.17: 17 She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,

Genesis 39.18: 18 and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”

Genesis 39.19: 19 When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.

Genesis 39.20: 20 Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.

Genesis 39.21: 21 But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

Genesis 39.22: 22 The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.

Genesis 39.23: 23 The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.

Genesis 40.1: 40After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

Genesis 40.2: 2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.

Genesis 40.3: 3 He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

Genesis 40.4: 4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

Genesis 40.5: 5 They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

Genesis 40.6: 6 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

Genesis 40.7: 7 He asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”

Genesis 40.8: 8 They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.”

Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”

Genesis 40.9: 9 The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

Genesis 40.10: 10 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

Genesis 40.11: 11 Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.”

Genesis 40.12: 12 Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

Genesis 40.13: 13 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer.

Genesis 40.14: 14 But remember me when it is well with you. Please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

Genesis 40.15: 15 For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.”

Genesis 40.16: 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

Genesis 40.17: 17 In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”

Genesis 40.18: 18 Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.

Genesis 40.19: 19 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you.”

Genesis 40.20: 20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

Genesis 40.21: 21 He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

Genesis 40.22: 22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

Genesis 40.23: 23 Yet the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.

Genesis 41.1: 41At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.

Genesis 41.2: 2 Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.

Genesis 41.3: 3 Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

Genesis 41.4: 4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

Genesis 41.5: 5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

Genesis 41.6: 6 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

Genesis 41.7: 7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

Genesis 41.8: 8 In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

Genesis 41.9: 9 Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.

Genesis 41.10: 10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.

Genesis 41.11: 11 We dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream.

Genesis 41.12: 12 There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.

Genesis 41.13: 13 As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”

Genesis 41.14: 14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

Genesis 41.15: 15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”

Genesis 41.16: 16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”

Genesis 41.17: 17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;

Genesis 41.18: 18 and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass;

Genesis 41.19: 19 and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

Genesis 41.21: 21 and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

Genesis 41.22: 22 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;

Genesis 41.23: 23 and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

Genesis 41.24: 24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

Genesis 41.25: 25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

Genesis 41.26: 26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

Genesis 41.27: 27 The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

Genesis 41.28: 28 That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

Genesis 41.29: 29 Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.

Genesis 41.30: 30 Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

Genesis 41.31: 31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

Genesis 41.32: 32 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

Genesis 41.33: 33 “Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41.34: 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.

Genesis 41.35: 35 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

Genesis 41.36: 36 The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”

Genesis 41.37: 37 The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

Genesis 41.38: 38 Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”

Genesis 41.39: 39 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.

Genesis 41.40: 40 You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”

Genesis 41.41: 41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”

Genesis 41.42: 42 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.

Genesis 41.43: 43 He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41.44: 44 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”

Genesis 41.45: 45 Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41.46: 46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41.48: 48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.

Genesis 41.49: 49 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

Genesis 41.50: 50 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

Genesis 41.51: 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh,1 “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”

Genesis 41.52: 52 The name of the second, he called Ephraim:2 “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

Genesis 41.53: 53 The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

Genesis 41.54: 54 The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

Genesis 41.55: 55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”

Genesis 41.56: 56 The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41.57: 57 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

Genesis 42.1: 42Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”

Genesis 42.2: 2 He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die.”

Genesis 42.4: 4 But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”

Genesis 42.5: 5 The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

Genesis 42.6: 6 Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.

Genesis 42.7: 7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did you come from?”

Genesis 42.8: 8 Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him.

Genesis 42.9: 9 Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land.”

Genesis 42.10: 10 They said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

Genesis 42.11: 11 We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”

Genesis 42.12: 12 He said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land!”

Genesis 42.13: 13 They said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.”

Genesis 42.14: 14 Joseph said to them, “It is like I told you, saying, ‘You are spies!’

Genesis 42.15: 15 By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go out from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.

Genesis 42.16: 16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”

Genesis 42.18: 18 Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this, and live, for I fear God.

Genesis 42.19: 19 If you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison; but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.

Genesis 42.20: 20 Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won’t die.”

Genesis 42.21: 21 They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn’t listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”

Genesis 42.22: 22 Reuben answered them, saying, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘Don’t sin against the child,’ and you wouldn’t listen? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.”

Genesis 42.23: 23 They didn’t know that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.

Genesis 42.24: 24 He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.

Genesis 42.25: 25 Then Joseph gave a command to fill their bags with grain, and to restore each man’s money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it was done to them.

Genesis 42.26: 26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.

Genesis 42.27: 27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

Genesis 42.28: 28 He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”

Genesis 42.29: 29 They came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,

Genesis 42.30: 30 “The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.

Genesis 42.32: 32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.’

Genesis 42.33: 33 The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way.

Genesis 42.34: 34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.’”

Genesis 42.35: 35 As they emptied their sacks, behold, each man’s bundle of money was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.

Genesis 42.36: 36 Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”

Genesis 42.37: 37 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons, if I don’t bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again.”

Genesis 42.38: 38 He said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.”1

Genesis 43.2: 2 When they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again, buy us a little more food.”

Genesis 43.3: 3 Judah spoke to him, saying, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’

Genesis 43.4: 4 If you’ll send our brother with us, we’ll go down and buy you food;

Genesis 43.5: 5 but if you don’t send him, we won’t go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’”

Genesis 43.6: 6 Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly, telling the man that you had another brother?”

Genesis 43.7: 7 They said, “The man asked directly concerning ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ We just answered his questions. Is there any way we could know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down?’”

Genesis 43.8: 8 Judah said to Israel, his father, “Send the boy with me, and we’ll get up and go, so that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones.

Genesis 43.9: 9 I’ll be collateral for him. From my hand will you require him. If I don’t bring him to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever;

Genesis 43.10: 10 for if we hadn’t delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now.”

Genesis 43.11: 11 Their father, Israel, said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Take from the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry down a present for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts, and almonds;

Genesis 43.12: 12 and take double money in your hand, and take back the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.

Genesis 43.14: 14 May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.”

Genesis 43.15: 15 The men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and got up, went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

Genesis 43.16: 16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Bring the men into the house, and butcher an animal, and prepare; for the men will dine with me at noon.”

Genesis 43.17: 17 The man did as Joseph commanded, and the man brought the men to Joseph’s house.

Genesis 43.18: 18 The men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “Because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time, we’re brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, attack us, and seize us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”

Genesis 43.19: 19 They came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,

Genesis 43.20: 20 and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.

Genesis 43.21: 21 When we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and behold, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. We have brought it back in our hand.

Genesis 43.22: 22 We have brought down other money in our hand to buy food. We don’t know who put our money in our sacks.”

Genesis 43.23: 23 He said, “Peace be to you. Don’t be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money.” He brought Simeon out to them.

Genesis 43.24: 24 The man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. He gave their donkeys fodder.

Genesis 43.25: 25 They prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.

Genesis 43.26: 26 When Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves down to the earth before him.

Genesis 43.27: 27 He asked them of their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?”

Genesis 43.28: 28 They said, “Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive.” They bowed down humbly.

Genesis 43.29: 29 He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” He said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”

Genesis 43.30: 30 Joseph hurried, for his heart yearned over his brother; and he sought a place to weep. He entered into his room, and wept there.

Genesis 43.31: 31 He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, “Serve the meal.”

Genesis 43.32: 32 They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians don’t eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

Genesis 43.33: 33 They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men marveled with one another.

Genesis 43.34: 34 He sent portions to them from before him, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. They drank, and were merry with him.

Genesis 44.1: 44He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.

Genesis 44.2: 2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

Genesis 44.3: 3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

Genesis 44.4: 4 When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?

Genesis 44.5: 5 Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”

Genesis 44.7: 7 They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

Genesis 44.8: 8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?

Genesis 44.9: 9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”

Genesis 44.10: 10 He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”

Genesis 44.11: 11 Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

Genesis 44.12: 12 He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

Genesis 44.13: 13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

Genesis 44.14: 14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

Genesis 44.15: 15 Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed do divination?”

Genesis 44.16: 16 Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”

Genesis 44.17: 17 He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”

Genesis 44.18: 18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.

Genesis 44.19: 19 My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’

Genesis 44.20: 20 We said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’

Genesis 44.21: 21 You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’

Genesis 44.22: 22 We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

Genesis 44.23: 23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’

Genesis 44.24: 24 When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

Genesis 44.26: 26 We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’

Genesis 44.27: 27 Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

Genesis 44.28: 28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.

Genesis 44.29: 29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’1

Genesis 44.30: 30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;

Genesis 44.31: 31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.2

Genesis 44.32: 32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

Genesis 44.33: 33 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

Genesis 44.34: 34 For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”

Genesis 45.1: 45Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

Genesis 45.2: 2 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

Genesis 45.3: 3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?”

They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

Genesis 45.5: 5 Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

Genesis 45.6: 6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.

Genesis 45.7: 7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

Genesis 45.8: 8 So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Genesis 45.9: 9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t wait.

Genesis 45.10: 10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.

Genesis 45.11: 11 There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’

Genesis 45.12: 12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

Genesis 45.13: 13 You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”

Genesis 45.14: 14 He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

Genesis 45.15: 15 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.

Genesis 45.16: 16 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

Genesis 45.17: 17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.

Genesis 45.18: 18 Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’

Genesis 45.19: 19 Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

Genesis 45.20: 20 Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.”

Genesis 45.21: 21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

Genesis 45.22: 22 He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.

Genesis 45.23: 23 He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.

Genesis 45.24: 24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”

Genesis 45.25: 25 They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.

Genesis 45.26: 26 They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t believe them.

Genesis 45.27: 27 They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.

Genesis 45.28: 28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”

Genesis 46.1: 46Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.

Genesis 46.2: 2 God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!”

Genesis 46.3: 3 He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.

Genesis 46.4: 4 I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”

Genesis 46.5: 5 Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

Genesis 46.6: 6 They took their livestock, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt—Jacob, and all his offspring with him,

Genesis 46.7: 7 his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and he brought all his offspring with him into Egypt.

Genesis 46.8: 8 These are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.

Genesis 46.10: 10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.

Genesis 46.12: 12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

Genesis 46.15: 15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-three.

Genesis 46.16: 16 The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.

Genesis 46.17: 17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.

Genesis 46.18: 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob, even sixteen souls.

Genesis 46.20: 20 To Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.

Genesis 46.21: 21 The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.

Genesis 46.22: 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.

Genesis 46.25: 25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob: all the souls were seven.

Genesis 46.26: 26 All the souls who came with Jacob into Egypt, who were his direct offspring, in addition to Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were sixty-six.

Genesis 46.27: 27 The sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were seventy.

Genesis 46.28: 28 Jacob sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.

Genesis 46.29: 29 Joseph prepared his chariot, and went up to meet Israel, his father, in Goshen. He presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.

Genesis 46.30: 30 Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.”

Genesis 46.31: 31 Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father’s house, “I will go up, and speak with Pharaoh, and will tell him, ‘My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

Genesis 46.32: 32 These men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.’

Genesis 46.33: 33 It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, ‘What is your occupation?’

Genesis 46.34: 34 that you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”

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.

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 47.9: 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.”

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

Genesis 48.1: 48After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

Genesis 48.2: 2 Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.

Genesis 48.3: 3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

Genesis 48.4: 4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your offspring after you for an everlasting possession.’

Genesis 48.5: 5 Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.

Genesis 48.6: 6 Your offspring, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

Genesis 48.7: 7 As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).”

Genesis 48.9: 9 Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.”

Genesis 48.10: 10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see well. Joseph brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.

Genesis 48.11: 11 Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”

Genesis 48.12: 12 Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

Genesis 48.13: 13 Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him.

Genesis 48.14: 14 Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.

Genesis 48.17: 17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.

Genesis 48.18: 18 Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”

Genesis 48.19: 19 His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”

Genesis 48.20: 20 He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in you, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.

Genesis 48.21: 21 Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.

Genesis 48.22: 22 Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”

Genesis 49.1: 49Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.

Genesis 49.3: 3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength;

Genesis 49.26: 26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of your ancestors,

Genesis 49.28: 28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.

Genesis 49.29: 29 He instructed them, and said to them, “I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

Genesis 49.30: 30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place.

Genesis 49.31: 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:

Genesis 49.32: 32 the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”

Genesis 49.33: 33 When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.

Genesis 50.1: 50Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.

Genesis 50.2: 2 Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.

Genesis 50.3: 3 Forty days were used for him, for that is how many the days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for seventy days.

Genesis 50.4: 4 When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

Genesis 50.5: 5 ‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”

Genesis 50.6: 6 Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”

Genesis 50.7: 7 Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,

Genesis 50.8: 8 All the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

Genesis 50.9: 9 There went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.

Genesis 50.10: 10 They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.

Genesis 50.11: 11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

Genesis 50.13: 13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.

Genesis 50.14: 14 Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

Genesis 50.15: 15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”

Genesis 50.16: 16 They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,

Genesis 50.17: 17 ‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

Genesis 50.18: 18 His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

Genesis 50.19: 19 Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

Genesis 50.20: 20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

Genesis 50.21: 21 Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

Genesis 50.22: 22 Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

Genesis 50.23: 23 Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.

Genesis 50.24: 24 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

Genesis 50.25: 25 Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

Genesis 50.26: 26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Exodus 1.1: 1Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):

Exodus 1.5: 5 All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.

Exodus 1.7: 7 The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Exodus 1.9: 9 He said to his people, “Behold,1 the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.

Exodus 1.10: 10 Come, let’s deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies and fight against us, and escape out of the land.”

Exodus 1.11: 11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.

Exodus 1.12: 12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They started to dread the children of Israel.

Exodus 1.14: 14 and they made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field, all their service, in which they ruthlessly made them serve.

Exodus 1.15: 15 The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah,

Exodus 1.16: 16 and he said, “When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”

Exodus 1.17: 17 But the midwives feared God,2 and didn’t do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.

Exodus 1.18: 18 The king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing and saved the boys alive?”

Exodus 1.19: 19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women aren’t like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”

Exodus 1.20: 20 God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.

Exodus 1.22: 22 Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “You shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”

Exodus 2.1: 2A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.

Exodus 2.2: 2 The woman conceived and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.

Exodus 2.3: 3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.

Exodus 2.5: 5 Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant to get it.

Exodus 2.6: 6 She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

Exodus 2.7: 7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”

Exodus 2.9: 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.”

Exodus 2.10: 10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses,1 and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

Exodus 2.11: 11 In those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

Exodus 2.12: 12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

Exodus 2.13: 13 He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”

Exodus 2.14: 14 He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?”

Exodus 2.15: 15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

Exodus 2.16: 16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

Exodus 2.17: 17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

Exodus 2.18: 18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”

Exodus 2.19: 19 They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”

Exodus 2.20: 20 He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”

Exodus 2.21: 21 Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.

Exodus 2.22: 22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom,2 for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”

Exodus 2.23: 23 In the course of those many days, the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

Exodus 2.24: 24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

Exodus 2.25: 25 God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.

Exodus 3.1: 3Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb.

Exodus 3.2: 2 Yahweh’s1 angel appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Exodus 3.3: 3 Moses said, “I will go now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.”

Exodus 3.4: 4 When Yahweh saw that he came over to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!”

Exodus 3.5: 5 He said, “Don’t come close. Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”

Exodus 3.6: 6 Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”

Exodus 3.7: 7 Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

Exodus 3.8: 8 I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Exodus 3.9: 9 Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

Exodus 3.10: 10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

Exodus 3.11: 11 Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

Exodus 3.12: 12 He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

Exodus 3.13: 13 Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what should I tell them?”

Exodus 3.14: 14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

Exodus 3.15: 15 God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

Exodus 3.16: 16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.

Exodus 3.17: 17 I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’

Exodus 3.18: 18 They will listen to your voice. You shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.’

Exodus 3.19: 19 I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.

Exodus 3.20: 20 I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do among them, and after that he will let you go.

Exodus 3.21: 21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.

Exodus 3.22: 22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing. You shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”

Exodus 4.1: 4Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘Yahweh has not appeared to you.’”

Exodus 4.4: 4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.”

He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.

Exodus 4.5: 5 “This is so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

Exodus 4.6: 6 Yahweh said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.”

He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.

He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.

Exodus 4.8: 8 “It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

Exodus 4.9: 9 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”

Exodus 4.10: 10 Moses said to Yahweh, “O Lord,1 I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”

Exodus 4.11: 11 Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh?

Exodus 4.12: 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”

Exodus 4.14: 14 Yahweh’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

Exodus 4.15: 15 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.

Exodus 4.16: 16 He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.

Exodus 4.17: 17 You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”

Exodus 4.18: 18 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.”

Exodus 4.19: 19 Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”

Exodus 4.20: 20 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod in his hand.

Exodus 4.21: 21 Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

Exodus 4.22: 22 You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

Exodus 4.23: 23 and I have said to you, “Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”

Exodus 4.24: 24 On the way at a lodging place, Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him.

Exodus 4.25: 25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”

Exodus 4.26: 26 So he let him alone. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.

Exodus 4.27: 27 Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.”

Exodus 4.28: 28 Moses told Aaron all Yahweh’s words with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.

Exodus 4.29: 29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.

Exodus 4.30: 30 Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

Exodus 4.31: 31 The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

Exodus 5.1: 5Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”

Exodus 5.2: 2 Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”

Exodus 5.3: 3 They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”

Exodus 5.4: 4 The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”

Exodus 5.5: 5 Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”

Exodus 5.6: 6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,

Exodus 5.7: 7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.

Exodus 5.8: 8 You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’

Exodus 5.9: 9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”

Exodus 5.10: 10 The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.

Exodus 5.11: 11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”

Exodus 5.12: 12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

Exodus 5.13: 13 The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”

Exodus 5.14: 14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”

Exodus 5.15: 15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?

Exodus 5.16: 16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”

Exodus 5.17: 17 But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’

Exodus 5.18: 18 Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”

Exodus 5.19: 19 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”

Exodus 5.20: 20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out from Pharaoh.

Exodus 5.21: 21 They said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”

Exodus 5.22: 22 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?

Exodus 5.23: 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”

Exodus 6.1: 6Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land.”

Exodus 6.3: 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.

Exodus 6.4: 4 I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.

Exodus 6.5: 5 Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

Exodus 6.6: 6 Therefore tell the children of Israel, ‘I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.

Exodus 6.7: 7 I will take you to myself for a people. I will be your God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

Exodus 6.8: 8 I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.’”

Exodus 6.9: 9 Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn’t listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

Exodus 6.11: 11 “Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.”

Exodus 6.12: 12 Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying, “Behold, the children of Israel haven’t listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, when I have uncircumcised lips?”

Exodus 6.13: 13 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Exodus 6.14: 14 These are the heads of their fathers’ houses. The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben.

Exodus 6.15: 15 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon.

Exodus 6.16: 16 These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi were one hundred thirty-seven years.

Exodus 6.17: 17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families.

Exodus 6.18: 18 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath were one hundred thirty-three years.

Exodus 6.19: 19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations.

Exodus 6.20: 20 Amram took Jochebed his father’s sister to himself as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. The years of the life of Amram were one hundred thirty-seven years.

Exodus 6.23: 23 Aaron took Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, as his wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

Exodus 6.24: 24 The sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.

Exodus 6.25: 25 Eleazar Aaron’s son took one of the daughters of Putiel as his wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites according to their families.

Exodus 6.26: 26 These are that Aaron and Moses to whom Yahweh said, “Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.”

Exodus 6.27: 27 These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron.

Exodus 6.29: 29 Yahweh said to Moses, “I am Yahweh. Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I tell you.”

Exodus 6.30: 30 Moses said before Yahweh, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?”

Exodus 7.1: 7Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

Exodus 7.2: 2 You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

Exodus 7.3: 3 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

Exodus 7.4: 4 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

Exodus 7.5: 5 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”

Exodus 7.7: 7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Exodus 7.9: 9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”

Exodus 7.10: 10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

Exodus 7.11: 11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.

Exodus 7.12: 12 For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

Exodus 7.13: 13 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.

Exodus 7.14: 14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.

Exodus 7.15: 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.

Exodus 7.16: 16 You shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”

Exodus 7.17: 17 Yahweh says, “In this you shall know that I am Yahweh. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

Exodus 7.18: 18 The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”

Exodus 7.19: 19 Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”

Exodus 7.20: 20 Moses and Aaron did so, as Yahweh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

Exodus 7.21: 21 The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

Exodus 7.22: 22 The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.

Exodus 7.23: 23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.

Exodus 7.24: 24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.

Exodus 8.1: 8Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.

Exodus 8.2: 2 If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs.

Exodus 8.3: 3 The river will swarm with frogs, which will go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs.

Exodus 8.4: 4 The frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.”’”

Exodus 8.5: 5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’”

Exodus 8.6: 6 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

Exodus 8.7: 7 The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

Exodus 8.8: 8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.”

Exodus 8.9: 9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only.”

Moses said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like Yahweh our God.

Exodus 8.11: 11 The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”

Exodus 8.12: 12 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to Yahweh concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.

Exodus 8.13: 13 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.

Exodus 8.15: 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.

Exodus 8.16: 16 Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’”

Exodus 8.17: 17 They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

Exodus 8.18: 18 The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal.

Exodus 8.19: 19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is God’s finger;” but Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.

Exodus 8.20: 20 Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes out to the water; and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.

Exodus 8.21: 21 Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground they are on.

Exodus 8.22: 22 I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, to the end you may know that I am Yahweh on the earth.

Exodus 8.23: 23 I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign shall happen by tomorrow.”’”

Exodus 8.24: 24 Yahweh did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses. In all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.

Exodus 8.25: 25 Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land!”

Exodus 8.26: 26 Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yahweh our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, won’t they stone us?

Exodus 8.27: 27 We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he shall command us.”

Exodus 8.28: 28 Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me.”

Exodus 8.29: 29 Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you. I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don’t let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Yahweh.”

Exodus 8.31: 31 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.

Exodus 8.32: 32 Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn’t let the people go.

Exodus 9.1: 9Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.

Exodus 9.3: 3 behold, Yahweh’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.

Exodus 9.4: 4 Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”

Exodus 9.5: 5 Yahweh appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow Yahweh shall do this thing in the land.”

Exodus 9.6: 6 Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.

Exodus 9.7: 7 Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.

Exodus 9.8: 8 Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.

Exodus 9.9: 9 It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt.”

Exodus 9.10: 10 They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking on man and on animal.

Exodus 9.11: 11 The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.

Exodus 9.12: 12 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.

Exodus 9.13: 13 Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.

Exodus 9.14: 14 For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.

Exodus 9.15: 15 For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;

Exodus 9.16: 16 but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,

Exodus 9.17: 17 because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.

Exodus 9.18: 18 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.

Exodus 9.19: 19 Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.”’”

Exodus 9.20: 20 Those who feared Yahweh’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.

Exodus 9.21: 21 Whoever didn’t respect Yahweh’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.

Exodus 9.22: 22 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”

Exodus 9.23: 23 Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and Yahweh sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. Yahweh rained hail on the land of Egypt.

Exodus 9.24: 24 So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

Exodus 9.25: 25 The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

Exodus 9.26: 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

Exodus 9.27: 27 Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

Exodus 9.28: 28 Pray to Yahweh; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”

Exodus 9.29: 29 Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’s.

Exodus 9.30: 30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you don’t yet fear Yahweh God.”

Exodus 9.31: 31 The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.

Exodus 9.32: 32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.

Exodus 9.33: 33 Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.

Exodus 9.34: 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

Exodus 9.35: 35 The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as Yahweh had spoken through Moses.

Exodus 10.1: 10Yahweh said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs among them;

Exodus 10.2: 2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.”

Exodus 10.3: 3 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

Exodus 10.4: 4 Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,

Exodus 10.5: 5 and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.

Exodus 10.6: 6 Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

Exodus 10.7: 7 Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”

Exodus 10.8: 8 Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve Yahweh your God; but who are those who will go?”

Exodus 10.9: 9 Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old. We will go with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds; for we must hold a feast to Yahweh.”

Exodus 10.10: 10 He said to them, “Yahweh be with you if I let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.

Exodus 10.11: 11 Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is what you desire!” Then they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.

Exodus 10.12: 12 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”

Exodus 10.13: 13 Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

Exodus 10.14: 14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again.

Exodus 10.15: 15 For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

Exodus 10.16: 16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.

Exodus 10.17: 17 Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”

Exodus 10.19: 19 Yahweh sent an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea.1 There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

Exodus 10.20: 20 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go.

Exodus 10.21: 21 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.”

Exodus 10.22: 22 Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.

Exodus 10.23: 23 They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

Exodus 10.24: 24 Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve Yahweh. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”

Exodus 10.25: 25 Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.

Exodus 10.26: 26 Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there.”

Exodus 10.27: 27 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.

Exodus 10.28: 28 Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”

Exodus 10.29: 29 Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”

Exodus 11.1: 11Yahweh said to Moses, “I will bring yet one more plague on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.

Exodus 11.2: 2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.”

Exodus 11.3: 3 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.

Exodus 11.4: 4 Moses said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight I will go out into the middle of Egypt,

Exodus 11.5: 5 and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the mill, and all the firstborn of livestock.

Exodus 11.6: 6 There will be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor will be any more.

Exodus 11.7: 7 But against any of the children of Israel a dog won’t even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal, that you may know that Yahweh makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.

Exodus 11.8: 8 All these servants of yours will come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, “Get out, with all the people who follow you;” and after that I will go out.’” He went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.

Exodus 11.9: 9 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh won’t listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”

Exodus 11.10: 10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go out of his land.

Exodus 12.2: 2 “This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.

Exodus 12.3: 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household;

Exodus 12.4: 4 and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls. You shall make your count for the lamb according to what everyone can eat.

Exodus 12.5: 5 Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats.

Exodus 12.6: 6 You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.

Exodus 12.7: 7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.

Exodus 12.8: 8 They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.

Exodus 12.9: 9 Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.

Exodus 12.10: 10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

Exodus 12.11: 11 This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh’s Passover.

Exodus 12.12: 12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.

Exodus 12.13: 13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12.14: 14 This day shall be a memorial for you. You shall keep it as a feast to Yahweh. You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

Exodus 12.15: 15 “‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

Exodus 12.16: 16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, only that may be done by you.

Exodus 12.17: 17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

Exodus 12.18: 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.

Exodus 12.19: 19 There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.

Exodus 12.20: 20 You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.’”

Exodus 12.21: 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, “Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.

Exodus 12.22: 22 You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

Exodus 12.23: 23 For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.

Exodus 12.24: 24 You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.

Exodus 12.25: 25 It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.

Exodus 12.26: 26 It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’

Exodus 12.27: 27 that you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of Yahweh’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.’”

Exodus 12.28: 28 The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Exodus 12.29: 29 At midnight, Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.

Exodus 12.30: 30 Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

Exodus 12.31: 31 He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said!

Exodus 12.32: 32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”

Exodus 12.33: 33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”

Exodus 12.34: 34 The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

Exodus 12.35: 35 The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.

Exodus 12.36: 36 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.

Exodus 12.37: 37 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.

Exodus 12.38: 38 A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.

Exodus 12.39: 39 They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it wasn’t leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.

Exodus 12.40: 40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.

Exodus 12.41: 41 At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, all of Yahweh’s armies went out from the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12.42: 42 It is a night to be much observed to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

Exodus 12.43: 43 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,

Exodus 12.44: 44 but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.

Exodus 12.46: 46 It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones.

Exodus 12.48: 48 When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

Exodus 12.49: 49 One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.”

Exodus 12.50: 50 All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Exodus 12.51: 51 That same day, Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

Exodus 13.2: 2 “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine.”

Exodus 13.3: 3 Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.

Exodus 13.5: 5 It shall be, when Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.

Exodus 13.6: 6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Yahweh.

Exodus 13.7: 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you. No yeast shall be seen with you, within all your borders.

Exodus 13.8: 8 You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

Exodus 13.9: 9 It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that Yahweh’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt.

Exodus 13.10: 10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

Exodus 13.11: 11 “It shall be, when Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and will give it you,

Exodus 13.12: 12 that you shall set apart to Yahweh all that opens the womb, and every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have. The males shall be Yahweh’s.

Exodus 13.13: 13 Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons.

Exodus 13.14: 14 It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Exodus 13.15: 15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to Yahweh all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’

Exodus 13.16: 16 It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes; for by strength of hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt.”

Exodus 13.17: 17 When Pharaoh had let the people go, God didn’t lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt”;

Exodus 13.18: 18 but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.

Exodus 13.19: 19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.”

Exodus 13.20: 20 They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

Exodus 13.21: 21 Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:

Exodus 13.22: 22 the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, didn’t depart from before the people.

Exodus 14.2: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.

Exodus 14.3: 3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’

Exodus 14.4: 4 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.

Exodus 14.5: 5 The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”

Exodus 14.7: 7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.

Exodus 14.8: 8 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.1

Exodus 14.9: 9 The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

Exodus 14.10: 10 When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.

Exodus 14.11: 11 They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?

Exodus 14.12: 12 Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?’ For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

Exodus 14.13: 13 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.

Exodus 14.15: 15 Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.

Exodus 14.16: 16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.

Exodus 14.17: 17 Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.

Exodus 14.18: 18 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”

Exodus 14.19: 19 The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.

Exodus 14.20: 20 It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.

Exodus 14.21: 21 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

Exodus 14.22: 22 The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

Exodus 14.23: 23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

Exodus 14.24: 24 In the morning watch, Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.

Exodus 14.25: 25 He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”

Exodus 14.26: 26 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”

Exodus 14.27: 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.

Exodus 14.28: 28 The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.

Exodus 14.29: 29 But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

Exodus 14.30: 30 Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

Exodus 14.31: 31 Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.

Exodus 15.1: 15Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said,

Exodus 15.7: 7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you.

Exodus 15.9: 9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder.

Exodus 15.13: 13 “You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed.

Exodus 15.17: 17 You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance,

Exodus 15.19: 19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.

Exodus 15.20: 20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.

Exodus 15.22: 22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

Exodus 15.23: 23 When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.1

Exodus 15.24: 24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

Exodus 15.25: 25 Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them.

Exodus 15.26: 26 He said, “If you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you.”

Exodus 15.27: 27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.

Exodus 16.1: 16They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

Exodus 16.2: 2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

Exodus 16.3: 3 and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by Yahweh’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

Exodus 16.4: 4 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not.

Exodus 16.5: 5 It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”

Exodus 16.6: 6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt.

Exodus 16.7: 7 In the morning, you shall see Yahweh’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”

Exodus 16.8: 8 Moses said, “Now Yahweh will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.”

Exodus 16.9: 9 Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.’”

Exodus 16.10: 10 As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, Yahweh’s glory appeared in the cloud.

Exodus 16.12: 12 “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God.’”

Exodus 16.13: 13 In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

Exodus 16.14: 14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.

Exodus 16.15: 15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat.

Exodus 16.16: 16 “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: ‘Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer1 a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.’”

Exodus 16.17: 17 The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less.

Exodus 16.18: 18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They each gathered according to his eating.

Exodus 16.19: 19 Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”

Exodus 16.20: 20 Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, so it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.

Exodus 16.21: 21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

Exodus 16.22: 22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

Exodus 16.23: 23 He said to them, “This is that which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”

Exodus 16.24: 24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.

Exodus 16.25: 25 Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.

Exodus 16.26: 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”

Exodus 16.27: 27 On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

Exodus 16.28: 28 Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

Exodus 16.29: 29 Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”

Exodus 16.31: 31 The house of Israel called its name “Manna”,2 and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

Exodus 16.32: 32 Moses said, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

Exodus 16.33: 33 Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations.”

Exodus 16.34: 34 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

Exodus 16.35: 35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

Exodus 17.1: 17All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, starting according to Yahweh’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

Exodus 17.2: 2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.”

Exodus 17.3: 3 The people were thirsty for water there; so the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?”

Exodus 17.4: 4 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”

Exodus 17.5: 5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.

Exodus 17.6: 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Exodus 17.7: 7 He called the name of the place Massah,1 and Meribah,2 because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, “Is Yahweh among us, or not?”

Exodus 17.9: 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod in my hand.”

Exodus 17.10: 10 So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Exodus 17.11: 11 When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

Exodus 17.12: 12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; so they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.

Exodus 17.13: 13 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Exodus 17.14: 14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky.”

Exodus 17.15: 15 Moses built an altar, and called its name “Yahweh our Banner”.3

Exodus 17.16: 16 He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”

Exodus 18.1: 18Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how Yahweh had brought Israel out of Egypt.

Exodus 18.2: 2 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away,

Exodus 18.3: 3 and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom,1 for Moses said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land”.

Exodus 18.4: 4 The name of the other was Eliezer,2 for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.”

Exodus 18.5: 5 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with Moses’ sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the Mountain of God.

Exodus 18.6: 6 He said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her.”

Exodus 18.7: 7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent.

Exodus 18.8: 8 Moses told his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardships that had come on them on the way, and how Yahweh delivered them.

Exodus 18.9: 9 Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Yahweh had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

Exodus 18.10: 10 Jethro said, “Blessed be Yahweh, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

Exodus 18.11: 11 Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”

Exodus 18.12: 12 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. Aaron came with all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.

Exodus 18.13: 13 On the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the evening.

Exodus 18.14: 14 When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, “What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?”

Exodus 18.15: 15 Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

Exodus 18.16: 16 When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.”

Exodus 18.17: 17 Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good.

Exodus 18.18: 18 You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to perform it yourself alone.

Exodus 18.19: 19 Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You represent the people before God, and bring the causes to God.

Exodus 18.20: 20 You shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.

Exodus 18.21: 21 Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men which fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

Exodus 18.22: 22 Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you.

Exodus 18.23: 23 If you will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all these people also will go to their place in peace.”

Exodus 18.24: 24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.

Exodus 18.25: 25 Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

Exodus 18.26: 26 They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard cases to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

Exodus 18.27: 27 Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.

Exodus 19.1: 19In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

Exodus 19.2: 2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.

Exodus 19.3: 3 Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

Exodus 19.4: 4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.

Exodus 19.5: 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;

Exodus 19.6: 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

Exodus 19.7: 7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.

Exodus 19.8: 8 All the people answered together, and said, “All that Yahweh has spoken we will do.”

Exodus 19.9: 9 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.

Exodus 19.10: 10 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

Exodus 19.11: 11 and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.

Exodus 19.12: 12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.

Exodus 19.13: 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”

Exodus 19.14: 14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

Exodus 19.15: 15 He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”

Exodus 19.16: 16 On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

Exodus 19.17: 17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.

Exodus 19.18: 18 All of Mount Sinai smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

Exodus 19.19: 19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

Exodus 19.20: 20 Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

Exodus 19.21: 21 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.

Exodus 19.22: 22 Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break out on them.”

Exodus 19.23: 23 Moses said to Yahweh, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”

Exodus 19.24: 24 Yahweh said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break out against them.”

Exodus 20.2: 2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Exodus 20.4: 4 “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Exodus 20.5: 5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

Exodus 20.6: 6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Exodus 20.7: 7 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God,2 for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.

Exodus 20.10: 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

Exodus 20.11: 11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

Exodus 20.12: 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

Exodus 20.17: 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Exodus 20.18: 18 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.

Exodus 20.19: 19 They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”

Exodus 20.20: 20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”

Exodus 20.21: 21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.

Exodus 20.22: 22 Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

Exodus 20.23: 23 You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.

Exodus 20.24: 24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

Exodus 20.25: 25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.

Exodus 20.26: 26 You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’

Exodus 21.2: 2 “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.

Exodus 21.3: 3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.

Exodus 21.4: 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.

Exodus 21.5: 5 But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’

Exodus 21.6: 6 then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

Exodus 21.7: 7 “If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.

Exodus 21.8: 8 If she doesn’t please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

Exodus 21.9: 9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.

Exodus 21.10: 10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.

Exodus 21.11: 11 If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.

Exodus 21.12: 12 “One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,

Exodus 21.13: 13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

Exodus 21.14: 14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

Exodus 21.15: 15 “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

Exodus 21.16: 16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

Exodus 21.17: 17 “Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

Exodus 21.18: 18 “If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn’t die, but is confined to bed;

Exodus 21.19: 19 if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.

Exodus 21.20: 20 “If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.

Exodus 21.21: 21 Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.

Exodus 21.22: 22 “If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman’s husband demands and the judges allow.

Exodus 21.26: 26 “If a man strikes his servant’s eye, or his maid’s eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.

Exodus 21.27: 27 If he strikes out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth, he shall let the servant go free for his tooth’s sake.

Exodus 21.28: 28 “If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its meat shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.

Exodus 21.29: 29 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and this has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.

Exodus 21.30: 30 If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.

Exodus 21.31: 31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

Exodus 21.32: 32 If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels1 of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.

Exodus 21.33: 33 “If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn’t cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,

Exodus 21.34: 34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.

Exodus 21.35: 35 “If one man’s bull injures another’s, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.

Exodus 21.36: 36 Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.

Exodus 22.1: 22“If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

Exodus 22.2: 2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

Exodus 22.3: 3 If the sun has risen on him, he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

Exodus 22.4: 4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

Exodus 22.9: 9 For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

Exodus 22.10: 10 “If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;

Exodus 22.11: 11 the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbor’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

Exodus 22.12: 12 But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.

Exodus 31.2: 2 “Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

Exodus 31.3: 3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,

Exodus 31.4: 4 to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

Exodus 31.5: 5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.

Exodus 31.6: 6 Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

Exodus 31.7: 7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,

Exodus 31.8: 8 the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

Exodus 31.9: 9 the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

Exodus 31.10: 10 the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—

Exodus 31.11: 11 the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

Exodus 31.13: 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

Exodus 31.14: 14 You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Exodus 31.15: 15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

Exodus 31.16: 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

Exodus 31.17: 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

Exodus 31.18: 18 When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.

Exodus 32.1: 32When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.”

Exodus 32.2: 2 Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”

Exodus 32.3: 3 All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.

Exodus 32.4: 4 He received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molded calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”

Exodus 32.5: 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh.”

Exodus 32.6: 6 They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

Exodus 32.7: 7 Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!

Exodus 32.8: 8 They have turned away quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”

Exodus 32.9: 9 Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

Exodus 32.10: 10 Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”

Exodus 32.11: 11 Moses begged Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

Exodus 32.12: 12 Why should the Egyptians talk, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?’ Turn from your fierce wrath, and turn away from this evil against your people.

Exodus 32.13: 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring1 as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”

Exodus 32.14: 14 So Yahweh turned away from the evil which he said he would do to his people.

Exodus 32.15: 15 Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other.

Exodus 32.16: 16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.

Exodus 32.17: 17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”

Exodus 32.18: 18 He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”

Exodus 32.19: 19 As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.

Exodus 32.20: 20 He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.

Exodus 32.21: 21 Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”

Exodus 32.22: 22 Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.

Exodus 32.23: 23 For they said to me, ‘Make us gods, which shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’

Exodus 32.24: 24 I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off.’ So they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”

Exodus 32.25: 25 When Moses saw that the people were out of control, (for Aaron had let them lose control, causing derision among their enemies),

Exodus 32.26: 26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh’s side, come to me!”

Exodus 32.27: 27 He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”

Exodus 32.28: 28 The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. About three thousand men fell of the people that day.

Exodus 32.29: 29 Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, for every man was against his son and against his brother, that he may give you a blessing today.”

Exodus 32.30: 30 On the next day, Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”

Exodus 32.31: 31 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.

Exodus 32.32: 32 Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”

Exodus 32.33: 33 Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book.

Exodus 32.34: 34 Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

Exodus 32.35: 35 Yahweh struck the people, because of what they did with the calf, which Aaron made.

Exodus 33.1: 33Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’

Exodus 33.2: 2 I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Exodus 33.3: 3 Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”

Exodus 33.4: 4 When the people heard this evil news, they mourned; and no one put on his jewelry.

Exodus 33.5: 5 Yahweh had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”

Exodus 33.6: 6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

Exodus 33.7: 7 Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” Everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

Exodus 33.8: 8 When Moses went out to the Tent, all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.

Exodus 33.9: 9 When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and Yahweh spoke with Moses.

Exodus 33.10: 10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.

Exodus 33.11: 11 Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from the Tent.

Exodus 33.12: 12 Moses said to Yahweh, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’

Exodus 33.13: 13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people.”

Exodus 33.14: 14 He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Exodus 33.15: 15 Moses said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.

Exodus 33.16: 16 For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”

Exodus 33.17: 17 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”

Exodus 33.19: 19 He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim Yahweh’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”

Exodus 33.20: 20 He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”

Exodus 33.21: 21 Yahweh also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.

Exodus 33.22: 22 It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;

Exodus 33.23: 23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”

Exodus 34.1: 34Yahweh said to Moses, “Chisel two stone tablets like the first. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

Exodus 34.2: 2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.

Exodus 34.3: 3 No one shall come up with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain. Do not let the flocks or herds graze in front of that mountain.”

Exodus 34.4: 4 He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; then Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.

Exodus 34.5: 5 Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed Yahweh’s name.

Exodus 34.6: 6 Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

Exodus 34.7: 7 keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”

Exodus 34.8: 8 Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.

Exodus 34.9: 9 He said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go among us, even though this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”

Exodus 34.10: 10 He said, “Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of Yahweh; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.

Exodus 34.11: 11 Observe that which I command you today. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Exodus 34.12: 12 Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare among you;

Exodus 34.13: 13 but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherah poles;

Exodus 34.14: 14 for you shall worship no other god; for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Exodus 34.15: 15 “Don’t make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;

Exodus 34.16: 16 and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.

Exodus 34.18: 18 “You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.

Exodus 34.19: 19 “All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow and sheep.

Exodus 34.20: 20 You shall redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb. If you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before me empty.

Exodus 34.21: 21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

Exodus 34.22: 22 “You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year’s end.

Exodus 34.23: 23 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.

Exodus 34.24: 24 For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh, your God, three times in the year.

Exodus 34.25: 25 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The sacrifice of the feast of the Passover shall not be left to the morning.

Exodus 34.26: 26 “You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God.

Exodus 34.27: 27 Yahweh said to Moses, “Write these words; for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

Exodus 34.28: 28 He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

Exodus 34.29: 29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mountain, Moses didn’t know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

Exodus 34.30: 30 When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.

Exodus 34.31: 31 Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.

Exodus 34.32: 32 Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

Exodus 34.33: 33 When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

Exodus 34.34: 34 But when Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

Exodus 35.20: 20 All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

Exodus 35.21: 21 They came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and brought Yahweh’s offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all of its service, and for the holy garments.

Exodus 40.34: 34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.

Exodus 40.35: 35 Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.

Exodus 40.37: 37 but if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it was taken up.

Leviticus 8.14: 14 He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

Leviticus 8.15: 15 He killed it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.

Leviticus 8.16: 16 He took all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it on the altar.

Leviticus 8.17: 17 But the bull, and its skin, and its meat, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Leviticus 8.18: 18 He presented the ram of the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

Leviticus 8.19: 19 He killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

Leviticus 8.20: 20 He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

Leviticus 8.21: 21 He washed the innards and the legs with water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Leviticus 8.22: 22 He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

Leviticus 8.23: 23 He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

Leviticus 8.24: 24 He brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

Leviticus 8.25: 25 He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh;

Leviticus 8.26: 26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before Yahweh, he took one unleavened cake, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat and on the right thigh.

Leviticus 8.27: 27 He put all these in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

Leviticus 8.28: 28 Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Leviticus 8.29: 29 Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before Yahweh. It was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Leviticus 8.30: 30 Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.

Leviticus 8.31: 31 Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’

Leviticus 8.32: 32 What remains of the meat and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

Leviticus 8.33: 33 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.

Leviticus 8.34: 34 What has been done today, so Yahweh has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

Leviticus 8.35: 35 You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep Yahweh’s command, that you don’t die: for so I am commanded.”

Leviticus 8.36: 36 Aaron and his sons did all the things which Yahweh commanded by Moses.

Leviticus 9.1: 9On the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

Leviticus 9.2: 2 and he said to Aaron, “Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without defect, and offer them before Yahweh.

Leviticus 9.3: 3 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without defect, for a burnt offering;

Leviticus 9.4: 4 and a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Yahweh; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today Yahweh appears to you.’”

Leviticus 9.5: 5 They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting. All the congregation came near and stood before Yahweh.

Leviticus 9.6: 6 Moses said, “This is the thing which Yahweh commanded that you should do; and Yahweh’s glory shall appear to you.”

Leviticus 9.7: 7 Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as Yahweh commanded.”

Leviticus 9.8: 8 So Aaron came near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

Leviticus 9.9: 9 The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar;

Leviticus 9.10: 10 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the cover from the liver of the sin offering, he burned upon the altar, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Leviticus 9.12: 12 He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar.

Leviticus 9.13: 13 They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head. He burned them upon the altar.

Leviticus 9.14: 14 He washed the innards and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.

Leviticus 9.15: 15 He presented the people’s offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like the first.

Leviticus 9.16: 16 He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.

Leviticus 9.17: 17 He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, and burned it upon the altar, in addition to the burnt offering of the morning.

Leviticus 9.18: 18 He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people. Aaron’s sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled around on the altar;

Leviticus 9.19: 19 and the fat of the bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the innards, and the kidneys, and the cover of the liver;

Leviticus 9.20: 20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar.

Leviticus 9.21: 21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh for a wave offering before Yahweh, as Moses commanded.

Leviticus 9.22: 22 Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.

Leviticus 9.23: 23 Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the people; and Yahweh’s glory appeared to all the people.

Leviticus 9.24: 24 Fire came out from before Yahweh, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Leviticus 10.1: 10Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.

Leviticus 10.2: 2 Fire came out from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.

Leviticus 10.3: 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying,

Leviticus 10.4: 4 Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”

Leviticus 10.5: 5 So they came near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

Leviticus 10.6: 6 Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.

Leviticus 10.7: 7 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.

Leviticus 10.9: 9 “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

Leviticus 10.10: 10 You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.

Leviticus 10.11: 11 You are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses.”

Leviticus 10.12: 12 Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy;

Leviticus 10.13: 13 and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; for so I am commanded.

Leviticus 10.14: 14 The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.

Leviticus 10.15: 15 The heaved thigh and the waved breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh. It shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever, as Yahweh has commanded.”

Leviticus 10.16: 16 Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold,1 it was burned. He was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,

Leviticus 10.17: 17 “Why haven’t you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Yahweh?

Leviticus 10.18: 18 Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”

Leviticus 10.19: 19 Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such things as these have happened to me. If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in Yahweh’s sight?”

Leviticus 11.2: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.

Leviticus 11.3: 3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.

Leviticus 11.4: 4 “‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

Leviticus 11.5: 5 The hyrax,1 because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

Leviticus 11.6: 6 The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

Leviticus 11.7: 7 The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.

Leviticus 11.8: 8 You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

Leviticus 11.9: 9 “‘These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.

Leviticus 11.10: 10 All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,

Leviticus 11.11: 11 and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.

Leviticus 11.12: 12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.

Leviticus 11.13: 13 “‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,

Leviticus 11.16: 16 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

Leviticus 11.20: 20 “‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.

Leviticus 11.21: 21 Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.

Leviticus 11.22: 22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.

Leviticus 11.23: 23 But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.

Leviticus 11.24: 24 “‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

Leviticus 11.25: 25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

Leviticus 11.26: 26 “‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.

Leviticus 11.27: 27 Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

Leviticus 11.28: 28 He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.

Leviticus 11.29: 29 “‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

Leviticus 11.30: 30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

Leviticus 11.31: 31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.

Leviticus 11.32: 32 Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean.

Leviticus 11.33: 33 Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.

Leviticus 11.34: 34 All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

Leviticus 11.35: 35 Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

Leviticus 11.36: 36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.

Leviticus 11.37: 37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

Leviticus 11.38: 38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

Leviticus 11.39: 39 “‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

Leviticus 11.40: 40 He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

Leviticus 11.41: 41 “‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.

Leviticus 11.42: 42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

Leviticus 11.43: 43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.

Leviticus 11.44: 44 For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.

Leviticus 11.45: 45 For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

Leviticus 11.46: 46 “‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,

Leviticus 11.47: 47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”

Leviticus 12.2: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.

Leviticus 12.3: 3 In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

Leviticus 12.4: 4 She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.

Leviticus 12.5: 5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.

Leviticus 12.6: 6 “‘When the days of her purification are completed for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove, for a sin offering.

Leviticus 12.7: 7 He shall offer it before Yahweh, and make atonement for her; then she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood.

Leviticus 12.8: 8 If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.’”

Leviticus 13.2: 2 “When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.

Leviticus 13.3: 3 The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.

Leviticus 13.4: 4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.

Leviticus 13.5: 5 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.

Leviticus 13.6: 6 The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

Leviticus 13.7: 7 But if the scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.

Leviticus 13.8: 8 The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.

Leviticus 13.9: 9 “When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;

Leviticus 13.10: 10 and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,

Leviticus 13.11: 11 it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.

Leviticus 13.12: 12 “If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,

Leviticus 13.13: 13 then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.

Leviticus 13.15: 15 The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.

Leviticus 13.16: 16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.

Leviticus 13.17: 17 The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.

Leviticus 13.19: 19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.

Leviticus 13.20: 20 The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.

Leviticus 13.21: 21 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

Leviticus 13.22: 22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.

Leviticus 13.23: 23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

Leviticus 13.24: 24 “Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,

Leviticus 13.25: 25 then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

Leviticus 13.26: 26 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

Leviticus 13.27: 27 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

Leviticus 13.28: 28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.

Leviticus 13.29: 29 “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,

Leviticus 13.30: 30 then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard.

Leviticus 13.31: 31 If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.

Leviticus 13.32: 32 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,

Leviticus 13.33: 33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more days.

Leviticus 13.34: 34 On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.

Leviticus 13.36: 36 then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.

Leviticus 13.37: 37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.

Leviticus 13.38: 38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,

Leviticus 13.39: 39 then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.

Leviticus 13.40: 40 “If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.

Leviticus 13.41: 41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.

Leviticus 13.42: 42 But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.

Leviticus 13.43: 43 Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,

Leviticus 13.44: 44 he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.

Leviticus 13.45: 45 “The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

Leviticus 13.46: 46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.

Leviticus 13.47: 47 “The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;

Leviticus 13.48: 48 whether it is in warp or woof;1 of linen or of wool; whether in a leather, or in anything made of leather;

Leviticus 13.49: 49 if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.

Leviticus 13.50: 50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.

Leviticus 13.51: 51 He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.

Leviticus 13.52: 52 He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.

Leviticus 13.53: 53 “If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;

Leviticus 13.54: 54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more days.

Leviticus 13.55: 55 Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.

Leviticus 13.56: 56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;

Leviticus 13.57: 57 and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn with fire that in which the plague is.

Leviticus 13.58: 58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”

Leviticus 13.59: 59 This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

Leviticus 14.2: 2 “This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest,

Leviticus 14.3: 3 and the priest shall go out of the camp. The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,

Leviticus 14.4: 4 then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

Leviticus 14.5: 5 The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

Leviticus 21.1: 21Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people,

Leviticus 21.2: 2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,

Leviticus 21.3: 3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.

Leviticus 21.4: 4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

Leviticus 21.5: 5 “‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.

Leviticus 21.6: 6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.

Leviticus 21.7: 7 “‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.

Leviticus 21.8: 8 Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.

Leviticus 21.9: 9 “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.

Leviticus 21.10: 10 “‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.

Leviticus 21.11: 11 He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.

Leviticus 21.12: 12 He shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 21.14: 14 He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.

Leviticus 21.15: 15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”

Leviticus 21.17: 17 “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.

Leviticus 21.18: 18 For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,

Leviticus 21.20: 20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.

Leviticus 21.21: 21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

Leviticus 21.22: 22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

Leviticus 21.23: 23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”

Leviticus 21.24: 24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

Leviticus 22.2: 2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.3: 3 “Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.4: 4 “‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,

Leviticus 22.5: 5 or whoever touches any creeping thing whereby he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—

Leviticus 22.6: 6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.

Leviticus 22.7: 7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

Leviticus 22.8: 8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.9: 9 “‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

Leviticus 22.10: 10 “‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

Leviticus 22.11: 11 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.

Leviticus 22.12: 12 If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

Leviticus 22.13: 13 But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.

Leviticus 22.14: 14 “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

Leviticus 22.15: 15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,

Leviticus 22.16: 16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”

Leviticus 22.18: 18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering:

Leviticus 22.19: 19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

Leviticus 22.20: 20 But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

Leviticus 22.21: 21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.

Leviticus 22.22: 22 You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.23: 23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

Leviticus 22.24: 24 You must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.

Leviticus 22.25: 25 You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”

Leviticus 22.27: 27 “When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.28: 28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

Leviticus 22.29: 29 “When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

Leviticus 22.30: 30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.31: 31 “Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.32: 32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,

Leviticus 22.33: 33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh.”

Leviticus 23.2: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.

Leviticus 23.3: 3 “‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.

Leviticus 23.4: 4 “‘These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.

Leviticus 23.5: 5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Yahweh’s Passover.

Leviticus 23.6: 6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yahweh. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

Leviticus 23.7: 7 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.

Leviticus 23.8: 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.’”

Leviticus 23.10: 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.

Leviticus 23.11: 11 He shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.

Leviticus 23.12: 12 On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

Leviticus 23.13: 13 The meal offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah1 of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.2

Leviticus 23.14: 14 You must not eat bread, or roasted grain, or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Leviticus 23.15: 15 “‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.

Leviticus 23.16: 16 The next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh.

Leviticus 23.17: 17 You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenths of an ephah3 of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Yahweh.

Leviticus 23.18: 18 You shall present with the bread seven lambs without defect a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yahweh.

Leviticus 23.19: 19 You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

Leviticus 23.20: 20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest.

Leviticus 23.21: 21 You shall make proclamation on the same day that there shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

Leviticus 23.22: 22 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field, and you must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor, and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.’”

Leviticus 23.24: 24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, there shall be a solemn rest for you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

Leviticus 23.25: 25 You shall do no regular work. You shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’”

Leviticus 23.27: 27 “However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement. It shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall afflict yourselves and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Leviticus 23.28: 28 You shall do no kind of work in that same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.

Leviticus 23.29: 29 For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people.

Leviticus 23.30: 30 Whoever does any kind of work in that same day, I will destroy that person from among his people.

Leviticus 23.31: 31 You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Leviticus 23.32: 32 It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”

Leviticus 23.34: 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths4 for seven days to Yahweh.

Leviticus 23.35: 35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.

Leviticus 23.36: 36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.

Leviticus 23.37: 37 “‘These are the appointed feasts of Yahweh which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day—

Leviticus 23.38: 38 in addition to the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and in addition to your gifts, and in addition to all your vows, and in addition to all your free will offerings, which you give to Yahweh.

Leviticus 23.39: 39 “‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

Leviticus 23.40: 40 You shall take on the first day the fruit of majestic trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.

Leviticus 23.41: 41 You shall keep it as a feast to Yahweh seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.

Leviticus 23.42: 42 You shall dwell in temporary shelters5 for seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in temporary shelters,6

Leviticus 23.43: 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in temporary shelters7 when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.’”

Leviticus 23.44: 44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of Yahweh.

Leviticus 24.2: 2 “Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.

Leviticus 24.3: 3 Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

Leviticus 24.4: 4 He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand before Yahweh continually.

Leviticus 24.5: 5 “You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an ephah1 shall be in one cake.

Leviticus 24.6: 6 You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before Yahweh.

Leviticus 24.7: 7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Leviticus 24.8: 8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.

Leviticus 24.9: 9 It shall be for Aaron and his sons. They shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute.”

Leviticus 24.10: 10 The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.

Leviticus 24.11: 11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

Leviticus 24.12: 12 They put him in custody until Yahweh’s will should be declared to them.

Leviticus 24.14: 14 “Bring him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

Leviticus 24.15: 15 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

Leviticus 24.16: 16 He who blasphemes Yahweh’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.

Leviticus 24.17: 17 “‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 24.18: 18 He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.

Leviticus 24.19: 19 If anyone injures his neighbor, it shall be done to him as he has done:

Leviticus 24.20: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.

Leviticus 24.21: 21 He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.

Leviticus 24.22: 22 You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am Yahweh your God.’”

Leviticus 24.23: 23 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Leviticus 25.2: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to Yahweh.

Leviticus 25.3: 3 You shall sow your field six years, and you shall prune your vineyard six years, and gather in its fruits;

Leviticus 25.4: 4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to Yahweh. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.

Leviticus 25.5: 5 What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and you shall not gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

Leviticus 25.6: 6 The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.

Leviticus 25.7: 7 For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.

Leviticus 25.8: 8 “‘You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.

Leviticus 25.9: 9 Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land.

Leviticus 25.10: 10 You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.

Leviticus 25.11: 11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines.

Leviticus 25.12: 12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.

Leviticus 25.13: 13 “‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.

Leviticus 25.14: 14 “‘If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.

Leviticus 25.15: 15 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.

Leviticus 25.16: 16 According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.

Leviticus 25.17: 17 You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am Yahweh your God.

Leviticus 25.18: 18 “‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.

Leviticus 25.19: 19 The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

Leviticus 25.20: 20 If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;”

Leviticus 25.21: 21 then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bear fruit for the three years.

Leviticus 25.27: 27 then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.

Leviticus 25.28: 28 But if he isn’t able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.

Leviticus 25.29: 29 “‘If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.

Leviticus 25.30: 30 If it isn’t redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.

Leviticus 25.31: 31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be accounted for with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.

Leviticus 25.32: 32 “‘Nevertheless, in the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem the houses in the cities of their possession at any time.

Leviticus 25.33: 33 The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

Leviticus 25.34: 34 But the field of the pasture lands of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.

Leviticus 25.35: 35 “‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support himself among you, then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident.

Leviticus 25.49: 49 or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself.

Leviticus 25.50: 50 He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; he shall be with him according to the time of a hired servant.

Leviticus 25.51: 51 If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

Leviticus 25.52: 52 If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption.

Leviticus 25.53: 53 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him. He shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.

Leviticus 26.46: 46 These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.

Leviticus 27.2: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to Yahweh in a vow, according to your valuation,

Leviticus 27.9: 9 “‘If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy.

Leviticus 27.10: 10 He shall not alter it, nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.

Leviticus 27.11: 11 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest;

Leviticus 27.12: 12 and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.

Leviticus 27.15: 15 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

Leviticus 27.16: 16 “‘If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer 2 of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels3 of silver.

Leviticus 27.17: 17 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

Leviticus 27.18: 18 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.

Leviticus 27.19: 19 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.

Leviticus 27.20: 20 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;

Leviticus 27.21: 21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.

Leviticus 27.22: 22 “‘If he dedicates a field to Yahweh which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

Leviticus 27.23: 23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.

Leviticus 27.24: 24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.

Leviticus 27.26: 26 “‘However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to Yahweh as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s.

Leviticus 27.27: 27 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

Leviticus 27.28: 28 “‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to Yahweh.

Leviticus 27.29: 29 “‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 27.30: 30 “‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh.

Leviticus 27.31: 31 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.

Leviticus 27.32: 32 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.
