CHAPTER I. 1 The creation of heaven and earih. 26 Of man in Uie image of God. 29 The appoinlnieiit of food. IN the beginning » God created b the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was •= without form and void ; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit d of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, <^ Let there be hght : f and there was light. 4 And God saw tlie light, that it was good : and God divided = the light from tne darkness. 5 And God called the light h Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were i the first day. 6 IT And God said, i Let there be a k firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, i and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which icere •" above the firmament : and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Hea- ven. And the evening and the morn- ing were the second day. 9 IT And God said, " Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear : and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth ; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas : And God saw that it iras good. 11 And God said. Let the earth° bring forth P grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree yielding i fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself upon the earth : and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yieldmg fruit, whose seed was in itself, after nis kind : and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14 IT And God said. Let there be ' Hghts in the firmament of the heaven to divide the = day from the night ; and let them be for signs, and i for seasons, and for days, ana years : 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth : and it was so. 16 -4nd God made two great lights : the greater light " to rule the day, ana the lesser light to rule the night : he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firma- ment of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to ' rule oyer the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness : and God saw that it was good. a Pr.8.23.

Let the waters bring forth abundantly ihe moving " creature that hath « life, and fowl y that may fly above the earth in the open ' firma- ment of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abun- dantly after their kind, and every wing- ed fowl after his liind : and God saw that it icas good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiplv, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multi- ply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 IT And God said. Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind : and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creep- eth upon the earth after his kind : and God saw that it was good. 26 IT And God said. Let us make man in our image, after our likeness : and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own- image, 1 in the image of God created he him ; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them. Be fruitful, and multi- ply, and replenish the earth, and sub- due it : and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth b upon the earth. 29 IT And God said. Behold, I have given you every herb <= bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree^ in the which is the fruit of a tree yieldmg seed ; d to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, <= / have given every green herb for meat : and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morn- mg were the si.xth day.

GENESIS. 2 And " on the sevenrh day God ended nis work which he had made ; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it : because that in it He had rested from all his work which God created b and made. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before It was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew : for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there teas not a man to till the ground. 6 But '^ there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the Lord God formed man d of the ^ dust of the ground, and f breathed into his ? nostrils the breath of life; and h man became a living soul. 8 IT And the Lord God planted i agar- den eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food ; the j tree of life also in tlie midst of the garden, and the k tree of know- ledge of good and evil. 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden: and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth i the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good : there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon ; the same is it that compasseth the whole land of " Ethiopia. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel : " that is it which goeth o toward the east of Assyi'ia. And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15 And the Lord God took p the man, and *i put him into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the gar- den " thou mayest freely eat : 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of j f Ma.io.7. good and « evil, thou shall not eat of it : , a Re.12.9. for in the day that thou eatest thereof, b 2co.11. 3. thou t shalt surely die. | c y«^.^*;.^ 18 IT And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone : " I will make him a help * meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and ^^ brought th»m unto Adam ^ to see what he would call them ; and whatsoever Adam call- ed every hving creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave y names to all cat- tle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field : but for Adam 4 J before ■I c.15.12. a builded. bPr. 18.22. c Ep.5.30. d Ishah.

CHAPTER III. I The serpent deceivelh Eve. 6 Man's fall. 14 The ser- pent is cursed. 15 The promised seed. 16 The pun- ishment of mankind. 22 Theur casting oat of par.idise. NOW the '^ serpent was more b subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made: And he said unto the woman, c Yea, hath God said. Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden ? 2 And the woman said unto the ser- pent, We :nay eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden : 3 But of the fniit of the tree which ia in the midst of the garden, God hath said, d Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ve die. 4 And the « serpent said unto the f wo- man, Ye shall not surely die : 5 For God doth know, that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, know- ing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it teas s pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband witn her, and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they icei-e h naked : and they sewed fig-leaves to- gether, and made themselves i aprons. 8 Ana they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the j cool of the day : and Adam and his wife k hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, i because I If as naked ; and I hid myself. 11 And he said. Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, ™ The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast Birth of Cain and Abel. done? And the woman said, The ser- pent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field : upon thy belly shalt thou go, and » dust shalt thou e!it all the days of thy life : 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between " thy seed and p her seed: nit shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. IB Unto the woman he said, 1 will greatly nndtiply thy sorrow and thy conception ; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children : and thy desire shall be ' to thy husband, and he shall = rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying. Thou shalt not eat of it : cur.sea is the ground for thy sake ; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring i forth to thee ; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field : 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto th ground ; for out of it wast thou taken for dust thou art., and unto dust shalt thou return. '20 And Adam called his wife's name " Eve, because she was the mother of all '^ living. 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins. and w clothed them. 22 IT And the Lord God said, " Be- hold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil : and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of .'' life, and eat, and live for ever : 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of ^ Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man : and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden " Chcrubims, and a flaming b sword which turned every way, to keep the "= way of the tree of life. CHAPTER IV. AND Adam knew Eve his wife ; and she conceived, and bare '^ Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord. 2 And she again bare his brother b Abel. And Abel was •= a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And d in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought ^ of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. 4 And Abel, he also brought « of the firstlings of his f flock, and of the s fat thereof. And the Lord had h respect unto Abel and to his offering : 5 But unto Cain and to his oflering he had not respect. And Cain was ve- ry wroth, and bis countenance fell. 1* CHAP. IV. The murder of Abel. 6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth 7 and why is thy coun- tenance fallen .' 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not ibe accepted? and if thou doest not well, j sin heth at the door. And k un- to thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8 IT And Cain talked with Abel his bro- ther : and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up a- gainst Abel his brother, and i slew him. 9 And the Lord said unto ™Cain, Where is Abel thy brother ? And he said, I know not : j4m I my brother's keeper 7 10 And he said. What hast thou done 7 the voice of thy brother's "blood "cri- eth unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand : 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength : a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment p is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid ; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagaiiond in the earth : and it shall come to pass, 'ithat every one that findeth me shall slay me. 15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him se- ven-fold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 16 And Cain >■ went out from the pre- sence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 17 H And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bare ^ Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch. 18 And unto Enoch was born Irad : and Irad begat Mehujael : and Mehu- jael begat Methusael : and Methusael begat I Lamech. 19 IT And Lamech took unto him two wives : the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 And Adah bare .Tabal : he was the father of such as "dwell in tents, and. of such as have cattle, 21 And his brother's name was Ju- bal : he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal- cain, an ^ instructer of every artificer in brass and iron : and the sister of Tu- bal-cain -was Naamah. 23 And Larnech said unto his vpives, Adah and Zillah. Hear my voice ; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech : for "I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man "to my hurt, 24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold, truly I.amech seventy and seven-fold. 25 IT And Adam knew his wife again, n 15,6,5.49.

AND it came to pass, » when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men, b that they icei-e fair ; and they <^ took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, d My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh : <^ yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days ; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare chil- dren to them : the same became mighty men, which were of old, men of renown. 5 IT And God saw f that the wicked- ness of man was great in the earth, and that every s imagination h of the thoughts of his heart icas only evil i continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth ; both j man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air ; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 9 IT These are the generations of Noah : Noah was a just man, a7id k perfect in his generations, a7id Noah v.alked with God. 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The ark prepared. CHAP. VII. The flood. 11 The earth also was corniiit before God; and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt : for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, i The end of all flesh is come before nie ; for the earth is filled with violence through them : and behold, I will destroy them '"with tlie earth. 14 IT Make thee an ark of gopher- wood : rooms " shall thou make in the ark, and shall pitch it witliin and with- out with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof: vith lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 17 And behold, I, even I, °do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to de- stroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; anci every thing that is in the earth shall 'die. 18 But with ihee will I establish niy covenant : and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two P of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep thein alive with thee : they shall be male and female. 20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his Kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 21 And take thou unto theeof all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee ; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 22 Thus did Noah ; cat- tle that was with him in the ark : and God made a wind >= to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged ; 2 The fountains d also of the deep, and the windows "^ of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrain- ed; 3 And the waters returned from off the earth f continually : and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the wa- ters were abated. 4 fr And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of s Ararat. ,'j And the waters h decreased continu- ally until the tenth month : in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 6 IT And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened i the win- dow of the ark which he had made : 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth j to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off' the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from oft" the face of the ground ; 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth : then he put forthhishand, and took her, and k pulled her in unto him into the ark. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark ; 1 1 And the dove came in to him in the evening ; and, lo, in her mouth teas an olive-leaf plucked off": so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off" the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; which return- ed not again unto him any more. 13 IT And it came to pass in the si.x hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from oft' the earth : and Noah removed the covering; of the ark, and looked, and behold, tlie face of the ground was dry. 14 Anil in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 15 ITAnd God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives wdth thee. 17 Bring forth with thee every hving thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of eve- ry creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth ; that tliey mav breed abun- dantly in the earth, and i be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 8 GENESIS. God blesseth Noah. IS And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him : 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creep- eth upon the earth, after their "' kinds, went forth out of the ark. 20 IT And Noah buildcd an altar unto the Lord, and took of "every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and oft'ered burnt-ofterings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a " sweet sa- vour; Pand the Lord said in his heart, I will not again ' Cursed 6e Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said. Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall ^ be his servant. 27 God shall enlarge ^^Japheth, band he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 28 IT And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were « nine hundred and fifty years : and he died.

Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower, f whose top may reach unto heaven ; and let us make us a ename, lest we be scattered h abroad upon the face of the whole earth. .5 And the Lord came down i to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the Lord said. Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language ; and this they begin to do : and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have j imagin- ed to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound k their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth : and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called 1 Babel, because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth : and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face "> of all the earth. 10 IT These are " the generations of Shem : Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arpha.xad two years after the flood : 11 And Shem lived after he begat Ar- phaxad five hundred years, and ° be- gat sons and daughters. 12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and p begat Salah ; 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber : 15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat ram is justified by faith.

After I am waxed " old shall I have pleasure, my p lord being old also 7 13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old 7 14 Is any thing too hard for the 1 Lord 7 At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of ■■ life, and Sarah shall have a son. 15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay ; but thou didst '^ laugh, 16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abra- ham went with them to bring them on the t way. 17 IT And the Lord said.

And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. 30 And he said unto him, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak : Peradventure tliere shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 31 And he said. Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord : Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. 32 And he said. Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this eonce : Peradventure ten shall be found there.

Lot urged to quit Sodom. the gate of Sodom : and Lot, seeing them, rose up to meet them ; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, b turn in, 1 pray you, into your ser- vant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and goon your ways. And they said, >= Nay ; but we will abide in the street all night. 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and en- tered into his house; d and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and tncy did eat. 4 IT But before they lay down, the men of the city, crcn the men of So- dom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter : 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him. Where are the men which came in to thee this night? f bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so f wickedly. 8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man ; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, s and do ye to them as is good in your eyes : only unto these men do nothing ; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. 0 And they said, Stand back. And they said a sain. This one felloiB came in to sojourn, i' and he will needs be a judge : now will we deal worse with thee than with them. And they press- ed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 1 1 And they smote the men that -were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great : so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 12 IT And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son-in- law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever tnou hast in the city, bring them out of this place : 13 For we will destroy this place, be- cause the i cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord ; and j the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. 14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons-in-law, which married his daughters, and said, k Up, get ye out of this place ; for the Lord will destroy this city : but he seemed as one that mocked i unto his sons-in-lavv. 15 ir And when the morning arose, then the Angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters whicli '"are here, lest thou be consumed in the"iniquityof thecity. 16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the 15 I c.12.3. 22.18.

Escape p for thy Ufe : 'i look not behind thee, neitiier stay thou in all the plain : escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord ! 10 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast >• magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life : and I cannot escape to the ^ mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die. 20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little ' one : Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a httle one?) and my soul snail "live. 21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted ^ thee " concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for "I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called y Zoar. 23 IT The sun was ^ risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 24 Then the Lohd rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone * and fire from the Lord out of heaven ; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew bupon the ground. 26 ir But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a <= pillar of salt. 27 IT And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where d he stood before the Lord : 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the >; smoke of a furnace. 29 IT And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the f over- throw, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelled. 30 IT And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the s mountain, and his two daughters with him ; for he feared to dwell in Zoar : and he dwelt in a cave, he, and his two daughters. 31 IT And the first-born said unto the younger.

AND Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and "■ Shur, and sojourned in b Gerar. 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She <= is my sister: and Abime- lech king of Gerar sent and took Sa- rah. 3 But d God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Be- hold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken : for she is a '^ man's wife. 4 But Abimelech had not come near her : and he said, Lord, f wilt thou slay also a righteous nation ? 5 Said he not unto me. She is rny sister? and she, even she herself, said, He is my brother : In the s integrity h of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. 6 And God said unto him in a dream, yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart ; for T also i with- held thee from sinning j against me : therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. 7 Now therefore restore the man his wife ; for he is a prophet, and he k shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live : and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thine. 8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his ser- vants, and told all these things in their ears : and the men were sore afraid. 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him. What hast thou done unto us 7 and what havelofiend- ed thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom i a great sin ? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not ™ to be done. 1 0 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing] 11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God " is The birth of Isaac.

He is my brother. U And Abimelech took sheep, and o.\en, and men-servants, and women- servants, and gave them unto Abra- ham, and restored him Sarah his wife. 15 .\nd Abimelech said, Behold, p my land is before thee : dwell i where it pleaseth thee. 16 And unto Sarah he said. Behold. I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver : behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was ■■ reproved. 17 11 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bare children. 18 For the Lord s had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

Who would s have said unto .Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck ? for I have borne him a son in his old age. 8 And the child grew, and was wean- ed : and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. 9 II And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the KgvT>tian, h which she had borne unto .Abraham, mocking. 10 Wherefore she said unto .Abraham, Cast out tliis bond-woman and her son : i for the sori of this bond- woman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. 1 1 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, j because of his son. 12 ir And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight be- 2* Hagar in distress. .\.

Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. 17 And " God heard the voice of the lad : and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her. What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear 0 not ; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18 Arise, lift up the lad. and hold him in thy hand : for p I will make him a great nation. 19 And God opened her t eyes, and she saw a well of water : and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. 20 And God was with the ' lad ; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, ana became an ^ archer. 21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of t Paran : and his mother " took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 22 IT And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abra- ham, saying, God is with thee "in all that thou doest : 23 Now therefore ^' swear unto me here by God, " that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with iny son's son : but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. 24 And Abraham said, I will swear. 25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants y had violently taken away. 26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing : neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard 1 of if., but to-day. 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech: and both of them ^ made a covenant. 28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the fiocK by themselves. 2'.i And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What » mean these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 30 And he said, For //icsc seven uvve- lambs shalt thou take of my hand, 17 The trial of Abraham's faith. GENESIS. that they may be b a witness unto me that I have digged this well. 31 Wherefore he called that place ■: Beer-shcba ; because there they sware both of them. 32 Thus thev made a covenant at Beer-sheba : then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines. 33 IT And Abrahavi planted a .'\nd said. By myself have 1 1 sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son : 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars ' of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the ^ sea shore ; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies ; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed ; ' because thou hast " obeyed my voice. 19 So Abraham returned unto his young men ; and they rose up, and went together to Beer-sheba ; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. 20 fT And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, say- ing. Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children unto thy brother Na- hor; 21 Huz " his first-born, and ^ Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pil- dash, and .Tidlaph, and Bethuel. 23 And Bethuel begat " Rebekah : >' these eight Milcah did bear to Na- hor, Abranam's brother. 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maa- chah. CHAPTER XXIII. I The asc and death of Sarah. 3 The purchase of Macb- ' pelah, 19 where .Sarah was buried. AND Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years old : these were the years of the life of Sarah. 2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; a the same is Hebron b in the land ol Canaan : And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. 3 TT And Abraham stood up from be- fore his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 4 I a 77! a stranger <= and a sojourner with you : give me a possession of a buryirig-place with you, that I may d bury my dead out of my sight. 5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him, 6 Hear us, my lord ; thou « art a mighty f prince among us; in tho TTie burial of Sarah. choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead : none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. 7 And Abrahnm stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. S And he communed with them, say- ing, If it be your mind that I shoulc bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, 9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for s as much money as it is worth he shall give it me, for a possession of a burying- place amongst you. 10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth. And Ephron the Hiltite answered Abraham in tin •> audience of the children of Heth even of fill that went in at the gate i of his city, sa>Tng, U A'av, my lord, hear me : the field give I thee, and the cave that is there- in, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee : bury thy dead. 1-2 And Abraham bowed down him- self before the people of the land. 13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, Gut if thou wilt give it, 1 pray thee, near me : I will give thee money j for the field : take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. 14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, 15 My lord, hearken unto me : the land is wortk four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead. '5 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron, and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant. 17 ir And the field of Ephron, k which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and thi; cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that iccrein all the borders round about, were made sure 18 Unto Abi'aham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. l!i And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah; before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. 20 .4nd the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure i unto Abra- ham for a pos.session of a burying- place, by the sons of Heth.

Be- ware thou, that thou bring not my son thither again. 7 The Lord God of heaven, i which took me j from my fafhei'.s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land : ne shall send his angel k before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. 8 And if the woman will not be will- ing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear i from this my oath ; only bring not my son thither again. 9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter. 10 IT And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and de- parted ; (for ■" all the goods of his mas- ter were in his hand ;) and he arose, and went to "Mesopotamia, unto the city of " Nahor. U And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, even the time that p women go out to draw 1 icater : 1211 And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, ' I pray thee, send me good ^ speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham. 13 Behold, I stand here by the t well of water ; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw- water : 14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say. Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink ; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also : let the sarne be she that thou hast appoint- ed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby " shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master. I.') IT .\nd it came to pass, before he had done ^speaking, that, behold, Re- bekahcame out, who was born to Be- thuel, son of Mdcah, the wife of Na- hor, Abraham's brother, with her piiclur upon her shoulder. Hi And the damsel was ^ very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down 19 Abraham's servant GENESIS. welcomed by Laban. to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. 17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 18 And she said. Drink, my lord : and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 10 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, " until they have done drinkini<. 20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw xcater, and drew for all his camels. 21 And the man, y wondering at her, held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosper- ous, or not. 22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a 2 golden ear-ring of half a shekel weight, and two •■' bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold, 23 And said. Whose daughter art thou ? tell me, I pray thee : is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in ? 24 And she said unto him, I avi the daughter of b Bethuel the son of Mil- cah, which she bare unto Nahor. 25 She said, moreover, unto him. We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge m. 26 And the man >= bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord. 27 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God d of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of e his mercy and his truth. I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master's brethren. 28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things. 29 IT And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was f Laban : and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well. 30 And it came to pass, when he saw the ear-ring, and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me : that he came unto the man : and behold, he stood by the camels at the well. 31 And he said, Gome in, s thou blessed of the Lord, wherefore stand- est thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. 32 And the man came into the house : and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him. 33 And there was set meat before hirn to eat : but he said, h I will not eat until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on. 34 And he said, I am Abraham's ser- vant. 35 And the Lord hath blessed my 20 y I.u.2.19, I or y jewel for the forehead. 1 ^e.3.3. Kx.4.31. 31. ». Ne. 8.fi. Ps. 95.6. c.32.10.

The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his an- gel with thee, and prosper thy way ; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house : 41 Then shalt thou be clear from this mine oath, when thou comest to my kindred ; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord God i of my master Abraham, if now thou do "prosper my way which 1 go : 43 Behold, I stand by the well of wa- ter; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin conieth forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give ine, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink ; 44 And she say to me. Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels : let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out " for my master's son. 45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, ° behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoul- der ; and she went down unto the well, and drew waier: and I said unto her. Let me drink, I pray thee. 46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said. Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also : so I dranli, and she made the camels drink also. 47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou 7 And she said. The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him : and I put the ear-ring upon her p face, and the bracelets upon her hands. 48 And I bowed down my head, < of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rehe- kah : he gave also to her brother and to her mother y precious things. 54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that irere with hini, and tarried all niglit ; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master. 55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with « us a few days, at the least ten ; after that she shall go. 56 And he said unto them, Hinder me " not, seeing the Lord hath h pros- pered my way : send me away, that I may go to my master. 57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth. 58 And tliey called Rehekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this •= man ? And she said, I will go. 59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and herd nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. 00 And they '^ blessed Rebekah, and said unto her. Thou art our sister; be thou the mother of thousands of mil- lions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hale them. 61 IT And Rebekah arose, and hcrdam- se!s, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man : and the ser- vant took Rebekah, and went his way. 6-2 And Isaac came from the way of the well f Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country. G3 And Isaac went s out to h meditate in the field at the even-tide : and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold, the camels icere coming. 01 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, shei liglitecj o'X the camel. 05 For she Aarf said unto the servant. What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant Aat/ said. It is my master: therefore she took a j vail, and covered herself. 00 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. 67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's k tent, and took Rebe- kah, and she became his wife; and he loved her : and i Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. • CHAPTER XXV. 1 Tliesoiistif Abmlmiuby Keturah: 7 his age anil ili>alli.

And the sons of Dedan were .Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leum- mim. 4 And the sons of Midian ; f Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaali. All these icere the chil- dren of Keturah. 5 IT And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 0 But unto the sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent thein s away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, ii unto the east country. 7 And these arc the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years. 8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a i good old age, an old man, and full of years ; and was j ga- thered to his people. 9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Epliron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre ; 10 The field which Abraham purcha- sed of the sons of k Heth : there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. U IT And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac : and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi. 12 H Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's hand- maid, bare unto Abraham. 13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, ac- cording to their generations : The first- born of Ishmael, Nebajoth ; and Ke- dar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 15 1 Radar, and Tenia, Jetur, Naph- ish, and Kedeinah. 10 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles ; ™ twelve princes according to their nations. 17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years : and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people. 18 And they dwelt from " Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria : and he ° died in the presence of all his bre- thren. 19 IT And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son : Abraham be- gat Isaac: 20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to P wife, the daughter of 'J Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. 21 And Isaac entreated the Lord ' for his wife, because she was barren : 21 Birth of Esau and Jacob. and the r,ORD was entreated of » him, and KclKkah his wife conceived. '22 And the children struggled toge- ther within her: and she said, li it be so, why am I thus? And she went to • inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lono said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels : and the one people shall be stronger than the other people ; and the elder shall " serve the younger. 24 IT And when her days to be deliver- ed were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 2.5 And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau. 26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's " heel ; and his name was called Ja- cob : and Isaac iras threescore years old when she bare them. 27 And the boys grew : and Esau was a cunning '■^'hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in^ tents. 25 And Isaac loved Esau, because y he did eat of his ^ venison : but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 And Jacob sod pottage : and Esau came from the field, and he xcas faint. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, » with that same red pot- tage ; for I am faint: therefore was his name called b Edora. 31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32 And Esau said. Behold, I am, <^ at the point to die : and what profit a shall this birthright do to me 1 33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him : and he sold his birthright « unto Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles ; and he did eat f and drink, and rose up, and went his wav : thus Esau despised s his birthright. CHAPTER XXVI. 1 Isaac because of t'aniinc goeth to Gerar : 2 God instruct- e\h and blesselh h\iu : 9 he is reproved by Abiiiielech for denying liis wife : 26 Abimelech maketli a covenant with him. 34 Esau's wives. AND there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine " that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech b king of the Philistines, unto Gerar. 2 And the Lobd appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt : dwell in the land which I shaiQ tell thee of 3 Sojourn = in this land, and I will be with (1 thee, and will bless thee : for unto thee, and unto thy seed I will give all « these countries, and I will perform the oath f which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 And I will make thy seed to mul- tiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries : and in thy seed ? shall all the nations of the earth be blessed : 22 GENESIS. Isaac reproved by Abimelech. 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my h voice, and kept my charge, m'y com- mandinent-s, my statutes, and my laws. 6 IT And Isaac dwelt in Gerar : 7 And the rnen of the place asked him, of his wife; and he i said, She is my sister: for he j feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. 8 And it came to pass when ne had been there a long time, that Abime- lech king of the Pndistines looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. 9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife : and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Be- cause I said, Lest I die for her. 10 And Abmielech said. What is this thou hast k done unio us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying. He that i toucheth this man or his wile shall surely be put to death. 12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and "' received in the same year a hun- dred-fold : and the Lord blessed him : 13 And the man wa.xed great, and went "forward, and grew until he be- came very great : 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of ° servants; and the Philis- tines P envied him. 15 For all the wells which his fa- ther's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Phihsiines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. 16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us : for thou art much 1 mightier than we. 17 ir And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 18 And Isaac digged again the wellsof water which they haa digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham : and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of "■ springing water. 20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours : and he called the name of the vyell ^ Esek ; because they strove with him. 21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it t Sitnah. 22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well ; and for that they strove not : and he called the name i I Ch.5.20. 2CI1.33. 13.

And he went up from thence to Becr-sheba. 24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, »for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant .Abraham's sake. '25 .-Vnil he^'builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well. '2i) IT Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and .Ahuzzath one of his friends, and " Phichol the chief captain of his army. 27 And Isaac said unto them, Where- fore come ye to me, seeing ye hate y ine, and have sent me away ^ from you '] 28 .-Vnd they said, ^ We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee : and we said, Let there be npw an oath b be- twixt us, eye?! betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee : 2y That '^ thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace : thou art now the blessed d of the LonD. 30 .-ind he made them ^ a feast, and they did eat and drink. 31 And they rose up betimes in the inorning, and sware one to another : and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. 32 And it came to pass the same day. that Isaac's servants came and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water. 33 And he called it f Shebah : there- fore the name of the city is s Beer- sheba unto this day. 34 IT And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daugh- ter of Becri the Hittite, and Bashe- math h the daughter of Elon the Hit- tite: 35 Which were i a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah. CHAPTER XXVn. 1 Isaac sendeth Rsati lor venison. 6 Rebekah inslructeth JhcoI) to olitain the l)les. comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice : and arise, flee thou to Laban my q brother to Haran ; 44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away; 45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him : then I will send, and fetch thee from thence. Why should I be deprived also of you both in one day? 46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life. ■■ because of the daughters of Heth : if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me? CHAPTER XXVIII. 1 Isaac blesseth Jacob, and sendelh him to Padan-iirajii. 12 The vision of Jacob's ladder. 18 The stone of Beth- el. 20 Jacob's vow. AND Isaac called Jacob, and bless- ed him, and charged him, and said unto him. Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of » Canaan. 2 Arise, go to b Padan-aram, to the house of >= Bethuel thy mother's fa- ther ; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of d Laban thy mo- ther's brother. 3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a ^ multitude of people; 4 And give thee the f blessing of Abra- ham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the s land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. 5 And Isaac sent away Jacob : and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mo- ther. 6 IT When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed h Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take him a wife from thence ; and that as he blessed him, he gave him a charge, saying. Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; 7 And that Jacob obeyed i his father, Jacobus vow. and liis mother, and > Padnn-arani ; 8 And Esau seeing that the daiiijliters of jCaiiaan pleased not Isaac his i'a tlier; 9 TluMi went Esau unto Ishmael. and took unto the wives which he had kMnhahith the daugiiter of Isimiael Abraiiaiirs son, the sister of Neba- jotii, to he his wife. 10 IT And Jacob i went out from Beer- sheba, and went toward '"Haran. 11 And he hghted upon a certain place, and tarried tliere all night, be- cause the sun was set : and he took of the stones of that place, and put them/or iiis pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he " dreamed, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven : and " behold, the angels of God ascending and de- scending on it. 13 And behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, lam the Lord God of Abra- ham thv father, P and the God of Isaac : tlie land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. 1-J .'Vnd thv seed 'I shall be as the dust of the earth ; and thou shalt spread ■"abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south : and in thee and in thy seed '^ shall all the families of the earth be blessed. l.'i And behold, I am with thee, t and will keep " thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again ''into this land: for I wdl not leave ■"thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of 16 IT And .Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in ^ this place ; and I knew it not. 17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. 18 And .Tacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put/or his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil / upon the top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place ^ Beth-el : but the name of that * city was called Luz at the first. 20 -Vnd .Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God \vill be with me, b and will keep ine in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 21 _8o that I come again to my fa- thers house in peace; then shall the *= Lord be iiiy God : 22 And this stone, which I have set for a ii pillar, shall be God's house: and of all iliat thou shalt give me, T will surely give the •' tenth unto thee.

And they said. Of ii ttaran are we. 5 And he said unio them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said. We know hiin. 0 And he said unto them, « Is he well ? f And they said. He is well : and behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 7 And he said, Lo, s it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together : water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 8 And they said. We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and tilt they roll the stone h from the well's mouth ; then we water the sheen. 9 TT And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came witli her father's sheep : for she kept them. 10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother,and the sheep ot Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's i mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. 11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his j voice, and wept. 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her k father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's i son ; and she ran and told her father. 13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the ™ tidings of Jacob his sis- ter's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and " kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 14 .4nd Laban said to him. Surely thou art my " bone and my flesh. And he abode with p him the space of a month. 1511 And Laban said unto Jacob. Be- cause thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve nie for nought ? tell me, what shall thy wages be ? 16 And Laban had two daughters : the name of the elder teas Lean, and the name of the younger was parate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Lahnn : and he put his own flocks by tluinse ves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle. 41 And it came to pass whensoever A.

CHAPTER XXXI. 1 Jacob upon displeasure dcllarlelli secretly. 22 L.tban pursuetli afler liini. 44 'I'lie covenant of Laban and Jacob at Galeed. ND he heard the words of Laban's A^ away all that iras our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this /^ " glory. 2 And Jacob beheld the h countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not <= to- ward him d as before. 3 And the Lord said unto Jacob, Re- turn unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred ; and I will be <= with thee. 4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, 5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before : but the God of my father hath been with f me. 6 And ye know that with all my power I have served ? your father. 7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my ii wages ten times : but God suffered him not to hurt i me. 8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled : and if he said thus. The rmg-streaked shall be thy hire ; then bare all the cattle ring-streaked. 9 Thus God hath taken away the cat- tle of your father, and given them to me. 10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the j rams which leaped upon the cattle were ring-streaked, speckled, and k grizzled. 11 And the angel of God ' spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob : And I said, "' Here am I. 12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring- streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen " all that Laban doeth unto thee. 13 I am the God of "^ Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me : now arise, get thee out from this land, and return v unto the land of thy kindred. 14 And Rachel and Leah answered, and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? 15 Are we not counted of him stran- gers ? for he hath sold i us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 27 Jjaban pursuclh Jacob. 16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our childmi's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 17 IT Tiien Jacob rose up, and set his sons and, his wives upon ■■ camels ; 18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram ; for to go to Isaac his '^ father in the land of Ca- naan. 19 And Laban went to shear his sheep : and Rachel had stolen the ' images " that were her father's. 20 And Jacob stole away ^' unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 21 So he fled with all that he had ; and he rose up, and passed over the " river, and set his face ^ toward the mount Gilead. 22 And it was told Laban on the third day, that Jacob was fled. 23 And he took his brethren with him. and pursued after him seven days journey : and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 24 And God came to Laban the Sy- rian in a y dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to .facob either ^ good or bad. 2-5 IT Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount : and Laban with his bre- thren p tched in the mount of Gilead. 26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives ^^te/fen with the sword 7 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away V secretly, and b steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with ■= songs, with tabret, and with harp? 28 And hast not suftersd me to kiss my d sons, and my daughters '.' thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt : but the God of your fa- thers spake unto me yesternight, say- ing. Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house; yet wherefore hast '^ lliou stolen my gods? 31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid : for I said, Perai venture thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from m; 32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not f live : before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee : for Ja cob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. 33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maid-servants' tents ; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. 28 GENESIS. The covenant of Jacob and Laban. 34 Now Rachel had taken s the ima- ges, and put them in the camel's furni- ture, and sat upon them. And Laban h searched all the tent, but found them not. 35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up i before thee ; for the custom of wo- men is upon ine. And he searched, but found not the images. 36 IT And Jacob was j wroth, and chode with Laban : and Jacob answer- ed, and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me ? 37 Whereas thou hast searched ail my stuf}', what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, that they may kjudge betwixt us both. 38 This twenty years have I been with thee ; thy evves and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock haye I not eaten. 39 That which was torn of beasts, I brought not unto thee ; I bare the loss of it ; 1 of m.y hand didst thou require if, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. 40 Thus I was ; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night ; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house: I served thee '"fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle : and tnou hast changed my wages "ten times. 42 Except 0 the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the pfear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine latfcction, and the la- bour of my hands, and rebuked ^thee yesternight. 43 IT And Laban answered, and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children,and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine; and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have borne ? 44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a * covenant, I and tliou ; and let it be for a ' witness between me and thee. 45 And Jacob took a " stone, and set it up /or a pillar. 46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones ; and they took stones, and made a lieap : and they did eat there upon the heap. 47 And Laban called it " Jegar-Saha- dutha : but Jacob called it ■>" Galeed ; 48 And Laban said, this heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed: 49 And ^ Mizpah ; x for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. 50 If thou shall afflict my daughters, or if tliou shalt take other wives besides ;.21.10. :.28.21. t terapkim Jii.n.S. lSa.19. 13.

AND Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God " met him. 2 And when Jacob saw tiiem, he said, This is God's b host : and he called the name of that place "^ Mahanaim.d 3 And Jacob sent messengers before him « to Esau his brother, unto the land of f Seir, the s country of Edom. 4 And he commanded them, saying. Thus shall ye spealc unto my h lord Esau ; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now : 5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-ser- vants : and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace i in thy sight. 6 II And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying. We came to thy brother Esau, and also hecometh to meet thee, and four hunflred men with him. 7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and J distressed : and he divided the people that was witii him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands ; 8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape. 9 II And Jacob said, k O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, I return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee : 10 I am "'not worthy of the least of all the "mercies, and of all the "truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my stafFl passed over this Jordan ; and now I am p become two bands. 11 Deliver me, 1 1 pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau : for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the ■■ mother with the s children. 12 And thou < saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the 3» hosts. e Lu 14.31, 32. f De.2.5. g ,field. h Pr.lS.l. i c 33.8,15, j c.3,5.3.

Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove, 17 And he commanded the foremost, saying. When Esau my brother meet- eth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou ? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee? 18 Then thou shalt say. They be thy servant Jacob's: it is a present sent unto my lord Esau : and behold also he is behind us. 19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying. On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him. 20 And say ye moreover. Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will '' appease him with the pre- sent that goeth before me, and after- ward I will see his face ; peradventure he will accept of * me. 21 So went the present over before him; and himself lodged that night in the company. 22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two women- servants, and his eleven sons, and pass- ed over the ford " Jabbok, 23 And he took them, and y sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 24 H And Jacob was left alone ; and there >^ wrestled a man with him until the => breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hol- low of his thigh: and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said. Let me go, for the day breakcth : And he said, I will not blet thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he saitl, Jacob. 28 And he said. Thy name shall be called no more « Jacob, but d Israel : for as a prince hast thou power with « God and with f men, and hast pre- vailed. 29 And Jacob asked him, and said. Tell -me, I pray thee, thy name: Ana he said. Wherefore is it that thou dost asks after my name? And he blessed him there. 30 And Jacob called the name of the place h Peniel : for I have seen God face to i face, and my life is preserved. 31 And as he passed over Penuel, the 29 The meeting of Jacob and Esau. sun ro30 upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew whieh shrank, which is iipon the hollow of the thic;h, unto this day; because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two hand- maids. 2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. 3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground b se- ven times, until he came near to his brother. 4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced '^ him, and fell on his d neck, and kissed him : and they wept. 5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said, Who 07-e <= those with thee? And he said. The children which God hath graciously given f thy servant. 6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bow- ed themselves. 7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph near and Ra- chel, and they bowed themselves. 8 And he said. What s meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace h in the sight of my lord. 9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother ; i keep that thou hast unto ] thyself. 10 And Jacob said. Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in ihy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy •< face, as b ]"j'-2^5j thou.gh I had seen the face of God, and tiiou wast pleased with me. 11 Take, I pray thee, my i blessing that is brought to thee ; because God hath dealt graciously with me. and be- cause I have "enough : "and he urged "him, and he took it. 12 And he said.

(j IT So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him. 7 And he built there an altar, and call- ed the place lEl-beth-el; because there God "appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother. 8 ButDeborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el, under an oak : and the name of it was called " Allon-bachuth. 9 IT And God appeared unto Jacob again when he came out of Padan- aram ; and blessed him. 10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob : thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name ; and he called his name " Israel. 11 And God said unto him, pI aT/i God Almighty : be fruitful and multiply ; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins ; 12 And the land which I gave ' died, and was buried in the way to ^Ephrath, which is Beth- lehem. 20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that ?.s the pillar of Rachel's grave * unto this day. 21 IT And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the b tower of Edar. 22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that <: Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's con- cubine : and Israel heard it.

Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed : 7 For behold, weipercbindingsheaves m the field, and lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright ; and behold, your sheayes stood round about, and made ii obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his brethren said unto him, Shalt thou indeed reign i over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us ? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words. 9 fr And he dreanied yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more : and behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made j obei- sance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren : and his father rebuk- ed him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?

They are de- parted hence: for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan.

Shed no * blood, hid casi him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him ; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again. 23 IT And it came to pass when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript ^ Joseph out of his coat, /tis coat of y many '- colours that was on hirn. 24 And they took him, and cast him into a " pit : and the pit was empty, there iiias no water in it. 25 And they sat down to eat b bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a company of i^Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery, and = Onan. 5 And she yet again conceived and bare a son ; and called his named She- lah : and he was at Chezib when she bare him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name xeas Tamar. 7 And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the Lohd ; " and the Lord slew him. 8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto f thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to tliy brother. 9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his : and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did ? dis- pleased the Lord : wherefore he slew him also. 11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law. Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown ; (for he said. Lest perad- venture he die also as his brethren did:) and Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house. 12 ir And h in process of time, the daughter of Shuah, Judah's wife, died : and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheep-shearers toTimnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adulla- mite. 13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up i to Timnath, to shear his sheep. 14 And she put her widow's gar- ments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in i an open k place, which is by the way to Timnath : for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; because she had covered her face. 16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said. Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee ; (for he knew not that she was his daiighter-in-law :) and she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? 17 And he said, I will send thee i a kid from the flock : and she said. Wilt ihou give me a pledge, till thou send it? 18 And he said. What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy '"signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thy hand : and he gave it her, and came in unto her, anH she conceived by him. 19 And she arose and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the " garments of her widowhood. 20 And Judah sent the kid by the Joseph adiHinced by Potiphar. hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand : but he found her not. 21 Then he nsked the men of that pilace, savins;, Where is the harlot that ■tpas o openly by the way-side? And iheysaici, There was no harlot in this place. 2'3 Anil he returned to Judali, and said, I cannot find her ; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. 2'! And Judah said, Let her take if to her, lest p we be i shamed : behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. 24 IT And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying. Tamar tliy daughter-in-law hath played the ■" harlot ; and also, be- hold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said. Bring her forth, and let her be ''burnt. 25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man whose these are, am I with child: and she said, ' Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the " signet, and bracelets, and staff. 2i) And Judah acknowledged them, and said. She hath been more ^ right eous than I: because that I gave her not to " Shelah my son. AndTie knew her again no " more. 27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that behold, twins leere in her womb. 28 And it came to pass when she tra- vailed, that the one put out his hand ; and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying. This came out first. 29 And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his bro- ther came out; and she said, y How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee : therefore his name was called'- Pharez. ■'• 30 And afterward came out his bro- ther that had the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called b Zarah.

He is falsely accused. that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed 1 he rKgyptian's house for Joseph's sake; ami tlie blessing of the Lord was upon nil that he had in the? house, and in the field. 6 And he left all that he had in Jo- .seph's hand ; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a h goodly per- son, and well-favoured. 7 IT And it came to pass after these things, tliat his master's wife cast her i eyes upon Joseph : and she said, jLie with me. 8 But he k refused, and said unto his master's wife. Behold, my master wot- teth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9 There is none greater in this house than I ; neither hath he kept back any thins from me. but thee, because thou art his ^yife : now then can I do this great i wickedness, and " sin against God? 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by " day. that he heark- ened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business ; and there ^eas none of the men of the house there within. 12 And she caught "him by his gar- ment, saying. Lie with me : and he left his garment in her hand, and Pfled, and got him out. 13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, say- ing. See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to 1 mock us : he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a ■■ loud voice : 1.5 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out. 16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. 17 And she spake unto him ^ accord- ing to these words, saying. The He- brew servant ^vhich thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me : 18 And it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and tied out. 19 And it came to pass, when his mas- ter heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his I wrath was kindled. 20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the " prison, a place where the king's prisoners icere bound : and he was there in the prison. 21 II But the Lord was with Joseph, and " showed him mercy, and gave him w favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 35 Joseph interprets the dreams 22 And the keeper of the prison com- mitted to Joseph's hand all the prison- ers that were'm the prison ; and what- soever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand ; because the Lord was with him, and /Aa< which he did, the Lord ^ made it to prosper.

AND it came to pass after these \.\\ms,s, that the ''butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. 2 And Pharaoh was b wroth against two q/ his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. 3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the <= prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 4 And the captain of the guard charg- ed Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in ward. 5 IT And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his d dream in one night, each man according to the in- terpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which ivere bound in the prison. 6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they xcere "^ sad. 7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that loere with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, f Wherefore look ye so sadly s to-day 7 8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no h in- terpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Z)o not interpretations 'belong to God ? Tell me them, I pray you. 9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said unto him. In my i dream, behold, a vine was before me ; 10 And in the vine irf re three branches : and it icas as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth ; and the clus- ters thereof brought forth ripe grapes : 11 And Pharaoh's cup 2ens in my hand : and I took the grapes, and press- ed them into Pharaolvs cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. 12 And Joseph said unto him. This is the interpretation of kit: The three branches are three days : 13 Yet within three days shall i Pha- raoh lift up thy "head, and restore thee unto thy place : and thou shall deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. 14 But "think on me when it shall he well with thee, and show kindness,"! pray thee, unio me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house : 36 GENESIS. of Pharaoh's butler and baker. 15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done p nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, J had three i white baskets on my head : 17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of ^bake-meats for Pharaoh : and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. 18 And Joseph answered, and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three ''baskets are three days: 19 Yet within ' three days shall "Pha- raoh lift up thy head from off" thee, and shall hang thee on a tree ; and the birds shall eat thy "flesh from off' thee. 20 IT And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's "'birth-day, that he made a feast unto all his servants : and he ^lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 21 And he restored the chief butler un- to his butlership again ; and he gave the y cup into Pharaoh's hand : 22 But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had Mnterpreted lo them. 23 Yet did not the chief butler remem- ber Joseph, but •' forgat him.

So Pharaoh awoke. 5 And he slept and dreamed the second time : and behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, b rank and good. 6 And behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. 7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. 8 And It came to pass in the morning, that his ■"- spirit was troubled ; and he sent and called for all d the magicians of EgjTJt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream ; but there was none that could « interpret them unto Pharaoh. 9 U Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day : 10 Pharaoh was >' wroth with his ser- vants, and put me in ward in the cap- a Nel.ll b Pr.16.14. 19.19. c c.39.20,23.

We will not hide it from my lord, how th;it our money is spent ; my lord also hath our herds of cattle : there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies and our lands : 19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy "us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh : and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate. 20 And Joseph bought all the land of EgiiTJt for Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them : so the land became Pharaoh's. 21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the bor- ders of Egypt even to the other end thereof. 22 Only the land of the P priests bought he not ; for the priests had a portion assigned i/ie7?i of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them ; wherefore they sold not their lands. 23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your lands for Pharaoh : lo, here is seed for vou, and ye shall sow the larid. 24 Andit shall come to pass in the in- crease, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your house- holds, and for food for your little ones. 25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives : let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants. 26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, thatPhdi- 43 ^.-16.33, 4. im.7.14, ne.26.5.

CHAPTER XLVIII. 1 Joseph with his sons visitelh his sick father. 3 .Tacob re- peateth the promise : 9 he blesseth Kphraim and Manas- seh : 21 he prophesieth their return to Canaan. AND it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, tliy father is sick : and he took with him his two sons, Manas- seh and Ephraim. 2 IT And one told Jacob, and said. Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee : and Israel strengthened him- self, and sat upon the bed. 3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty " appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 4 And said unto me. Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people ; and will give this land to thy seed after thee ^for an everlasting possession. 5 And now, thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, >= which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt, before I came unto thee into EgyTt, are mine : as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 6 And thy issue, which thou beget- test after them, shall be thine, d and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. 7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, ^ Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, when yet there teas but a little way to come unto Ephrath : and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath ; the same is Bethlehem. 8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said.

In "thee shall Israel bless, say- ing, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh : and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. 21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Be- hold, I die; but w God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. 22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion " above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

AND afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel. Let my people go, that they may hold a •■! feast unto me in the wilderness. 2 And Pharaoh said, b Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go ? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. 3 And they said, The God of the "= Hebrews hath met with us : let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our Goq; lest he fall upon us with d pestilence, or with the sword. 4 And the king of P>gypt said unto them. Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their worksl get you unto your burdens. 5 IT And Pharaoh said. Behold, the people of the land now arc many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. 6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their olTicers, saying, 7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: 49 Israelites' task increased. let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 And the tale of the bricks which they did make heretofore, ye shall •= lay upon them ; ye shall not diminish ou^ht thereof: for theyZ»e idle; there- lore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifii;e to our God. 9 Let there f more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein: and let them not regard ? vain words. 10 IT And the taskmasters of the peo- ple went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thussaith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 1 1 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it : yet not aught of your work shall be diminished. 12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble instead of straw. 13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying. Fulfil your works, ii your daily tasks, as when there was straw. 14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded. Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in makingbrick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore? l."> "?r Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying. Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants 7 10 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick : and behold, thy serva.nts are beaten ; but the fault is in thine own people. 17 But he said, Ye are idle, i/e are idle : therefore ye say. Let us go, and do sacrifice to the Lord. 18 Go therefore now, and work : for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. 10 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in i evil cascj after it was said. Ye shall not niinish ought from your bricks of your daily task. 20 IT And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh : 21 And theysaid unto them, TheLoRo look upon you, and judge ; because ye have made our j savour to be k abhor- red in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. 22 IT And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, Wherefore hast thou so 1 evil-entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me ? 23 For since 1 came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people : ™ neither hast thou de- livered thy people at all.

Behold, the children of Israel p have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of 1 uncircumcised lips ? 13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and gave them a ■^charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. 14 IT These be the heads of their fathers' ^houses : The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel ; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi : these be the families of Reuben. 15 IT And the ' sons of Simeon ; Jem- uel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, antl Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman : these are the families of Simeon. 16 IT And these ore the names of the " sons of Levi, according to their gene- rations : Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven : and it became a boil breaking forth tcilh blains upon man, and upon beast. 11 And the magicians could not 0 stand before Moses, because of the boil : for the boil was upon the ma- gicians, and upon all the Egyptians. 12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he d hearkened not unto them ; as the Lord had <^ spoken unto Moses. 13 TT And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, ana stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him. Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 14 For I will at this time send f all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people ; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and s thy people with pestilence ; and thou shah be cut off from the earth. 16 And in very deed for h this cause have I i raised thte up, for to show in thee my power : and that mv name may be declared throughout all the earth. 17 As yet exaltest thou j thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go ? 18 Behold, k to-morrow about this time I will cause it to i rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now. 19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field ; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come ™ down upon them, and they shall die. 20 He that feared the " word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle fiee into the houses : 21 And he that " regarded p not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field. 22 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward hea- ven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. 23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and i hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground : and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast ; and the hail "'smote every herb of the field and brake every tree of the field. 53 Pharaoh threatened. 26 Only in the land of ^ Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail. 27 H And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, 1 have sinned this time : the Lord is t righteous, and I and my people are wicked. 28 Entreat the Lord, (for ^it is enough) that there be no more " mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 29 And Moses said unto him. As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands *'unto the Lord; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail ; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the ^Lord's. 30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet yfear the Lord God. 31 And the flax and the barley was ■' smitten, for the barley was in the ear, and the fla.x teas boiled. 32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten : for they were not ^ grown up. 33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the Lord : and the thun- ders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. 34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet t> more, and hardened his heart, he and his ser- vants. 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the chil- dren of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken <= by Moses.

And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh. 7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him. How long shall this man be i a snare unto us ? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God : Knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed '? 8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh : and he said unto them. Go, serve the Lord your God : but i who are they that shall go ? 9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go : for we must hold a feast unto the Lord. 10 And he said unto them, Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones : look to it ; for evil is before you. 11 Not so : go now ye that are men, and serve the Lord ; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence. 12 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch k out thy hand over the land ot Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. 13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night : and when it was morning, the i east wind brought the locusts. 14 And t1ie "'locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt : very grievous were they ; before them there were no such "locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened ; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit o'l the trees which the hail had left : and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt. 16 IT Then Pharaoh "called for Mo- ses and Aaron in haste ; and he said, I have sinned p against the Lord your God, and against you. 17 Now therefore for give, I pray thee, my sin only f this once, and entreat the Lord your God that he may take away from me this death only. 18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind which took away the locusts, and "^ cast them " into the Red sea : there remained not one lo- cust in all the coasts of Egypt.

In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a ^ lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house : 4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the iiumber of the souls : every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without >= blem- ish, a d male of the first year : ye shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats : 6 And ye shall keep it up until the « fourteenth day of the same month ; and the whole assembly of the con- gregation of Israel shall fkill it in the §■ evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike i< on the two side-posts and on the iipper .door-posts of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and h unleavened bread ; and with bitter /lerfts they shall eat it. 9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast iritli fire ; his head with his legs, and with thepurte- nance thereof. 10 And ye shall let n9thing of iit re- main until the morning: and that which remaineth of it until the morn- ing ye shall burn with fire. 11 IT And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your stanin your hand : and 56 Unleavened bread. ye shall eat it in haste ; it is the Lord's passover. 12 For I will pass throua;h the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the tirst-horn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast : and against all the j gods of k Egypt 1 will execute judg- ment : I am the Lord. n And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are : and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to i destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial: and ye shall keep it a m feast to the Lord throughout your generations : ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. \r) IT Seven "days shall ye eat un- leavened bread ; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread, from the first day until the sev- enth "day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And in the first day there shall be a P holy convocation, and in the sev- enth day there shall be a holy convoca- tion to you : no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every iman must eat, thai only may be done of you. 17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread ; for in this self-same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt : therefore shaU ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. 18 In the first month, on the four- teenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. 19 Seven days shall there be no f leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leav- ened, even that soul shall be cut off" from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. 20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened : in all your habitations shall ye eat un- leavened bread. 21 IT Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them. Draw out, and take you a ^lamb, ac- cording to your families, and kill the <• passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hys- sop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and " strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin : and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until tlie morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the ^ blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and * will not suf- fer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 56 EXODUS.

It is the sacri- fice of the Lord's passover, who pass- ed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and y worshipped. 28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had com- manded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 29 IT And it came to pass, that at mid- night the Lord ^ smote all the first- born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh tliat sat on his throne, unto the first-born of the cap- tive that vas in the " dungeon ; and all the first-born of cattle. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians ; and there was a great b cry in Egypt : for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 31 IT And he <^ called for Moses and Aaron by ftight, and said. Rise up, and get yott fiMn^from among my people, both ye and tHe children of Israel : and go,serve the Lord, as ye have said. 32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone : and d bless me also. 33 And the Egyptians were « urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste ; for they said. We be all dead men. 34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their f knead- ing troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 35 And the children of Israel did ac- cording to the word of Moses : and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and rai- ment. 36 And the Lord s gave the people favour in the sight of the Eg^TDtians, so that they lent unto them snch things as they required: and they spoiled the Egyptians. 37 ir And the children of Israel jour- neyed from h I^^ajneses to Succoth, about i si.x hundl'^ thousand on foot that icere men, beffldes children. 33 And a j mi.xed ^ multitude went up also with them ; and flocks, and herds, ej'en very much cattle. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened : because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither h rnuch observ- ed unlo the Lord, for bringing them out from tile land of Egypt : this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations. 43 IT And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the " ordinance of the passover : there shall no stranger eat thereof: 44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast p circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 45 A 'I foreigner, and a hired servant shall not cat thereof. 46 In one house shall it be eaten ; thou slialt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house: neither shall ye break a ■■ bone thereof. 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep " it. 18 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be cir- cumcised, and then let him come near and keep it ; and he shall be as one that is born in the land : for no un- circumcised person shall eat thereof. 49 One t law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. 50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. .51 And it came to "pass the self-same day, that the Lord did bring the chil- dren of Israel out of the land of ''Egypt by their armies. CHAPTER XIII. 1 The firsl-born jure sanctified to Got]. 3 The memorial of the passover is commanded. 17 The Israelite.** go out of Kgypt. 21 God giiidetti Ihem by a pillar of a cloud, and a pillar of fire. AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Sanctify unto me all the ^ first- born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, botk of man and of beast : it is mine. 3 ir And Moses said unto the people, Aemember this b day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of <= bondage ; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place : there shall no leavened bread be eaten. 4 This day came ye out, d in the month .\bib. 5 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanitcs, and the Hitiites, ami the Ainorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusitcs, which he " swaro unto thy fathers to give thee, aland flowing with milk and honey; that thou shaft keep this service in this month. 1 Ge.15.13.

The passover is commanded. 6 Seven f days thou shalt eat unleav- ened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord. 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days : and there .shall s no lea- vened bread be seen with thee, nei- ther shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters. 8 And thou shalt show thy h son in that day, saying. This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. 9 And It shall be for a i sign unto thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes; that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth ; for with a strong liand hatli the Lord brought thee out of Egypt. 10 Thou shalt therefore keep this j ordinance in his season from year to year. 11 IT And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee, 12 That thou shalt k set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix ; and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast, the males shall be the Lord's. 13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a i lamb ; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck : and all the first-born of man among thy children shalt thou redeem. 14 IT And it shall be when thy "^ son asketh " thee in time to come, saying. What is this? that thou shalt say unto him. By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage: 15 And it came to pass, when Pha- raoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of bea.st : therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being iiiales; but all the first-born of my children I redeem. 16 And it shall be for a token upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes; for by strength of "hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt. 17 IT And it came to pass, when Pha- raoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near : for God said, Lest peradven- ture the p people repent when they see war, and they 'ptians : and Israel saw the Egyptians dead jipon the sea-shore. 31 And Israel saw that '^ great work which the Lord did upon the Egyp- tians : and the people feared the Lohd, and ' believed the Lord, and his ser- vant Moses.

THEN ''sang Moses and the chil- dren of Israel this song unto the IjOrd, and spake, saying. J will sing unto the Lord, for he hatli triumphed gloriously ; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. '2 The Loud is my strength and b song, and he is become my salvation : he is my God, and I will prepare him a <= ha- bitation ; my father's God, and I will c.\alt him. 3 The Lord is a man of d war : the Lord is his name. 4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea : his chosen cap- tain's also are drowned in the Red sea. 5 The depths have covered them : they sank into the bottom as a stone. 6 Thy right ^ hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power : thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 7 And in the greatness of thine f ex- cellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee : thou sentest forth thy wrath, lehivh consumed sthem as stubble. 8 And with the blast of h thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil : my lust shall be satisfied upon them ; I will draw my sword, my hand shall "destroy them. 10 Thou didst blow with thy jwind, the sea covered them : they sank as lead in the mighty waters. U Who is klike unto thee, O Lord, among the igods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders'? 12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. 13 Thou in thy mercy hast '" led forth the people which thou hast redeemed : thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. 14 The people shall hear, and be afraid : sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them ; c.19.9.

The Israelites come to Sin. all the inhabitants of Canaan shall " melt away. 16 Fear and dread shall ofall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as p still as a stone: till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which i thou hast pur- chased. 17 Thou shall bring them in, and f plant them in the mountain of thine in- heritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in ; in the « sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. 18 The Lord shall t reign for ever and ever. 19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horse- men into the sea, and the Loud brought again the vyatersof the sea upon them : but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 20 IT And Miriam the prophetess, tlie sister of Aaron, " look a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her, with timbrels, and with dances. 21 And Miriam answered thein, Sing ye to the " Lord, for he hath triumph- ed gloriously : the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and thev went out into the wilderness of « Shur ; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. 23 1[ And when they came to ^Ma- rah, they could not drink of the waters of Maran; for they leere bitter : there- fore the name of it was called ^ Marah. 24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall wc drink ? 25 And he cried unto the Lord ; and the Lord showed him a tree, which when he had cast ^into the waters, the waters were made sweet : there he made for them a statute and an ordi- nance, and there he proved them, 26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his com- mandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the '^ Egyptians ; for I am the Lord b that healetn thee. 27 IT And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and three- score and ten palm-trees : and they encamped there by the waters. CHAPTER XVI. 1 The Israelites come to Sin : 2 they murmur tor want of bread. 1 1 Quails are sent, 14 and manna.

This shall be when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morn- ing bread to the full ; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him : And what are we ? your murmurings are not against j us, but against the Lord. 9 IT And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come k near be- fore the Lord : for he hath heard your murmurings. 10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord i appeared in the cloud. HIT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 12 I have heard the ™ murmunngs of the children of Israel ; speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat fiesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread : and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God. 13 And it came to pass, that at even the "quails came up, and covered the camp : and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. 14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as tlie hoar frost on the ground : ■ 15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, " It isv manna : for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. 16 IT This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded.

Let no man ' leave of it till the morning. 20 Notwithstanding, they nearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank : and Moses was wroth with them. 21 And they gathered it every morn- ing, every man according to his eating: and wheii the sun waxed hot, it melted. 22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man : and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 23 And he said unto them. This is that which the Lord hath said, To-morrow is the "rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord : bake that which ye will bake to-day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not*' stink, neither was there any worm therein. 25 And Moses said. Eat that to-day ; for to-day is a sabbath unto the Lord; to-day ye shall not find it in the field. 26 Six *" days shall ye gather it ; but on the seventh day. uhich is the sab- bath, in it there shall be none. 27 IT And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. 28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long ^ refuse ye to keep my com- mandments and my laws 7 29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days: abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the se- venth day. 31 And tne house of Israel called the name thereof Manna : and it waslike y coriander-seed, white ; and the taste of it was like wafers inade with honey. 32 U And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations ; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Eg>'pt. 33 And Moses said unto Aaron, 2 Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations. 34 As the Lord commanded Moses, Amalek is overcome. CHAP so Aaron laid it " up before the Tes- timony, to be ki>pt. :55 And the children of Israel did eat manna ii forty years, uiilii they came to a hind inhabited : they did eat man- na, until they the tenth part of an ephah.

A ND all the congregation of the /x children of Israel journeyed from tlie wilderness of •> Sin, after their journeys, according to the command- ment of the Lord, and pitched in Re- phidim : and Ihcrf^ was no water for the people to drink. 2 VVhereforo the people did b chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them. Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye ■; tempt the Lord? 3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, ^V'herefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Eg>nit 10 kill us and our chil- dren and our cattle with thirst 7 4 And Moses cried unto the Lord, say- ing, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to d stone me. 5 And the Lord said unto Moses, Goon before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel : and thy rod, wherewith thou « smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb ; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall f come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so m tlie sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the name of the place ' Massah. and h Meribah, be- cause of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not ? 8 IT Then came ■ Arnalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 0 And Moses said untc j Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with .\malek : to-morrow 1 will stand on the lop of ihc hill with the rod of God in my hand. 10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek : and Moses, Aaron, and Ilur, went up to the top of the hill. 11 And it came to pass, when Moses helrl un his hand, that Israel prevailed ; and when he let down his hand, Ama- lek prevailed. 12 But Moses' hands ire;-c heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon : and Aaron and Hiir stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 6 XVII., XVIII. Moses visited by Jetkro. 13 And Jo.shua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remem- brance of k Amalek from under heaven. 15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it i JEHOVAH- nissi : 10 For he said, '" Because the " Lord hath sworn that the Lord vilf have war with Amalek from generation to generation. CHAPTER XVITI. 1 Jethrobringelli to Moses hiswife nod twosoMs: 7 Moses enlertainelh him: ISJelhro's counsel is accepted. 27 Jelliro departeth. WHEN ■! Jethro the priest of Midi- an, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt : 2 Then Jethro, Moses' fatlier-in-iaw, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back, 3 And li(T two sons; of which the name of the one xcas h Gershom ; (for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land :) 4 And the name of the other '>cas ■= Eliezer ; (for the God of mv father, said he, vxis my help, and deliverea. me from the sword of Pharaoh :) 5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the d mount of God : 6 And he said unto Jloses, I thy fa- ther-in-lavv Jethro am comeunto thee, and thy wife,and her two sons with her. 7 IT And Mo.ses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did <= obeisance, and kissed him : and they asked each other of their f welfare : and they came into the tent. 8 And Moses told his fathcr-in-lav/ all that the Lord had done unto Pha- raoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had s come upon them by the waj% and hoic the h Lord delivered them. 9 And Jethro i rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egj^tians. 10 And Jethro said, ) Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath deli- vered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all k gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt '- proudly, he was above them. 12 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law "' before God. 13 IT And it came to pass on the mor- 61 u c.25.1fi.

Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel ; 4 Ye have seen what I "= did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' d wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a « peculiar treasure unto me above all people : for all the earth is mine : 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of f priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 7 IT And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid be- fore their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him. 8 And all the people answered to- gether, and said, s All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord. 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto h thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the peo- ple unto the Lord. 10 IT And the Lord said unto Moses Go unto the people, and i sanctify them to-day, and to-morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 11 And be ready against the third day : for the third day the Lord will come j down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. 12 IT And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying. Take heed to yourselves, that ye a;o not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever !< toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death : 13 There .shall not a hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through : whether it be beast or man, it shall not live : when the ' trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. 14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people ; and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day : come " not a.t your wives. 16 IT And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud ; so that all the people that was in the " camp trembled.

Set bounds about tne mount, and sanctifv it. 24 And the Lord said unto him. Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee : but let not the priests and the people break through, to come up unto the Lord, lest the break fortli upon them. 25 So Bloses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

II At the en- treaty of Moses he is appeased. 15 Moses cometh down with tlie tables. 19 Hebreakctli them. 20 Hcdestroy- eth the call". 22 Aaron'sexcnsefor himself. 25 Moses causeth the idolaters to beslain. 30 He prayeth for the people. AND when the people saw that Moses '>■ delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him. Up, make us i) gods which shall go before us : for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of ■= Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the d golden ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake ofT the jolden ear-rings which were in their ears, and brought tlum unto Aaron. 4 And he received^/iei?) at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a "^ molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it ; and Aaron made f proclamation, and said. To-morrow is a feast to the Lord. 6 And they rose up early on the mor- row, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings : and the?peo- ple sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 7 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down : for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have h corrupted themselves: 8 They nave turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them : they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said. These 6e thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egj-pt. 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and behold, i it is a stifi-necked people : 10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may j wax hot against them, and that I may consume them : ana k I will make of thee a great nation. 1 1 TT And JVIoses i besought the Lord his God, and said. Lord, ™ why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the lanrl of Egvpt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore should the" Eg\TDlians speak and say. For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth ? Turn from ° thy fierce wrath, and p repent of this evil against thy people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Tht idolaters slain. Israel, thy servants, to whom thou '1 swarest by thine own solt', and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14 And the Lord ' repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. 15 U And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony vere in his hand : the tables toere written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing ira-v the"* writing of God, graven upon the tables. 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. ' 18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for t being overcome : but the noise of them that sing do I hear. 19 IT And it came to pass as soon as he came nigh unto the camj), that he saw the calf, and the dancin." : and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 20 IT And he took the calf which they had made, and " burnt it in the fire. and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the chil- dren of Israel drink of it. 21 And Moses said unto Aaron, » What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? 22 IT And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot : thou knowest the people, that they are set on w mischief. 23 For they said unto me, ^ Make us gods which shall go before us : for a* Jvr this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of hnn 24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break /< off. So they gave it me : then I cast it into the y fire, and there came out this calf. 25 And when Moses saw that the people irere naked, (for Aaron had made tliem ' naked unto their shame among their * enemies,) 26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. 27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and '' slay every man his brother, and every man his compa- nion, and every man his neighbour. 28 And the children of <= Levi did ac- CHAP.

I pray thee, out of k thy book which thou hast written. 33 And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against i me, him will I blot out of my book. 34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: Behold, mine"' Angel shall go before thee : nevertheless, iii the day when I visit, " I will visit their sin upon them. 35 And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

AND the Lord said unto Moses, Depart and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Eg>i:)t, unTo the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it : 2 And I will send an angel before thee ; and I will drive out tiie Canaan- ite, the Amorite, and tlii? Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite : 3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey : for I will not go up in the midst of thee ; for thou art a stiff-necked people : lest I consume thee in the way. 4 IT And when the people heard these evil tidings, they niourned : and no man did put on nim his ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stifl'-necked people : I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off ^ thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. 7 IT And Moses took the b tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar ofi' from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And 75 77ie Lord talks with Moses. EXODUS. it came to pass, that every one whicli sought the Lord, went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was witiiout the camp. 8 And it came to pass when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that ail the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent-door, and looked af- ter Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 9 IT And it came to pasa as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the = LORD talked with j\Ioses. 10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand nt the tabernacle-door : and all the people rose up and wor- shipped, every man in his tent-door. 11 Ana the Lord spake unto d Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp ; but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. 12 ir And Moses said unto the Lobd, See, thou sayest unto me, •= Bring up this people : and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know f thee by name, and thou hast also found grace m my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, s show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight : and h consider- that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said. My i presence siiall go with thee, and I will give thee j rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy pre- sence go k not Lcilli me, carry us not up hence. 1(5 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? Is it nol in that thou gocst with us ? i So shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that arc upon the face of the earth. 17 And the Lord said tmto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken : for thon hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all rny "' goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee ; and will be "gracious to whom 1 will be gracious, and will show mer- cy on whom I will show mercy. 20 And he said. Thou canst not " see my face : for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock : 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock ; and will co- ver thee with my hand while I pass by : 23 And I will take away my hand, 76 A.

AND the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first : and I will •'' write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. 2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to mc in the top of the mount. 3 And no man shall b come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount : neither lot the flocks nor herds feed before that mount. 4 And he hewed two tables of stone, like unto the first ; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had com- manded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. 5 V And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the •= name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclainied, The Lord, The Lord God, d merciful and gracious, long-suf- fering, and abundant in « goodness and truth, 7 Keepiiig mercy for thousands, f for- giving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilt If ; visiting the ? iniquity of the fathers upon Ihe children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 8 IT And Moses made haste, and bow- ed his head toward the earth, and wor- shipped. 9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, hgo among us ; for it is a istin-necked people; and par- don our iniquity and our sin, and take us for j thine inheritance. 10 IT And h* said. Behold I k make a covenant : before all thy people I ! will do marvels, such as nave not been done in all the earth, nor in any ria- tion : and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord : for it is a ™ terrible thing that I will do with ihee. 11 Observe thou that which I com- mand thee this day : Behold, I " drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Je- busite. 12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabit- ants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a " snare in the midst of thee : 13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their p images, and cut down their groves: God makes a covenant. 14 For thou shalt n worship no other god : for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous (Jod : 15 Lest tlxjii make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their got! s, and o/ie call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; 16 And tiiou take of ■• liieir daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoniig after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. 17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. IS The feast ofunleavencd bread shalt thou keep. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened ■'bread, as 1 connnanded tiiee, in tiie time of the month Abib : for in tile month Abib thou camest out from Egypt. 19 All "that 'openeth the matrix is mir.e: and every firstling among thy cattle, xrhcther o.xorslieep, that ismale. 20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a " lamb : and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty. 21 Si.\' ^(lays thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest : in ear- ing time and in harvest tliou shalt rest. 22 And lliou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the first-fruits of wheat-har- vest, and the feast of ingathering at the ^''year's end. 23 Thrice "in the year shall all your men-children appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. 24 For I will cast out the y nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any '■ man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice in the year. 25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of niy sacrifices with leaven ; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the pass- over be loft imtil the morning. 26 The first of the " first-fruits of thy land thou shall bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shall not seethe t a kid m his mother's milk. 27 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou ' these words : for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee, and with Israel. 28 IT And he was there with the Lord fortv d days and forty nights; he did neitner eat bread nor drink water. And he wrote '^ upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten f com- mandments. 29 IT And it came to pass when Mo- ses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skinof his face sshone while he talked with him. 30 And when Aaron and all the chil- dren of Israel saw 3Ioses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come nigh him. q Mm. 4. 10. rNu.iK.l,i Err.D.i 2CO.G.14.
