+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='1'>In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was  upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of  the waters.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the  light from the darkness.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called  Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the  waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which  were under the firmament from the waters which were above the  firmament: and it was so.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the  morning were the second day.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering  together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb  yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose  seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed  after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself,  after his kind: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And the evening and the morning were the third day.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the  heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and  for seasons, and for days, and years:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to  give light upon the earth: and it was so.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the  day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give  light upon the earth,</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide  the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the  moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth  in the open firmament of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And God created great whales, and every living creature that  moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind,  and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and  fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and  cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth  after his kind: and God saw that it was good.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our  likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over  the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and  over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>So God created man in his own image, in the image of God  created he him; male and female created he them.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful,  and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion  over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every  living thing that moveth upon the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>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 yielding seed; to you it shall be for  meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='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, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it  was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the  host of them.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;  and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because  that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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 was not a man to till the ground.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the  whole face of the ground.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and  breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living  soul.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and  there he put the man whom he had formed.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 tree of life also  in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from  thence it was parted, and became into four heads.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth  the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the  onyx stone.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it  that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it  which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is  Euphrates.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden  of Eden to dress it and to keep it.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of  the garden thou mayest freely eat:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou  shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt  surely die.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be  alone; I will make him an help meet for him.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the  field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see  what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living  creature, that was the name thereof.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the  air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found  an help meet for him.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and  he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead  thereof;</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he  a woman, and brought her unto the man.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my  flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and  shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not  ashamed.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field  which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God  said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit  of the trees of the garden:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the  garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch  it, lest ye die.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely  die:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your  eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and  that it was 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 with her; and he did eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that  they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made  themselves aprons.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the  garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves  from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where  art thou?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was  afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me,  she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou  hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 eat all  the days of thy life:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and  between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt  bruise his heel.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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: cursed is the ground for thy  sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and  thou shalt eat the herb of the field;</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou  return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou  art, and unto dust shalt thou return.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the  mother of all living.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats  of skins, and clothed them.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And the LORD God said, Behold, 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:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of  Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the  garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way,  to keep the way of the tree of life.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare  Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper  of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of  the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and  of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his  offering:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And  Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is  thy countenance fallen?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou  doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his  desire, and thou shalt rule over him.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass,  when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his  brother, and slew him.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And  he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's  blood crieth unto me from the ground.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened  her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I  can bear.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one  that findeth me shall slay me.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth  Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a  mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt  in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and  Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was  Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in  tents, and of such as have cattle.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all  such as handle the harp and organ.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every  artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And Lamech said unto his wives, 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and  sevenfold.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called  his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed  instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called  his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='5'>
+    <verse no='1'>This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that  God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and  called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son  in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:</verse>

+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='6'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face  of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were  fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with  man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and  twenty years.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old,  men of renown.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the  earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only  evil continually.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth,  and it grieved him at his heart.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created  from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping  thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and  perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was  filled with violence.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt;  for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before  me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I  will destroy them with the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in  the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the  earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under  heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt  come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons'  wives with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort  shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall  be male and female.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou  shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so  did he.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='7'>
+    <verse no='1'>And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house  into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this  generation.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the  male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male  and his female.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female;  to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the  earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I  have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters  was upon the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'  wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of  fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male  and the female, as God had commanded Noah.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the  flood were upon the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second  month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the  fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were  opened.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and  Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his  sons with them, into the ark;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle  after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth  after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every  sort.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all  flesh, wherein is the breath of life.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh,  as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters  increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon  the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all  the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the  mountains were covered.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl,  and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth  upon the earth, and every man:</verse>

+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='8'>
+    <verse no='1'>And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the  cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over  the earth, and the waters asswaged;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven  were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and  after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth  day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month:  in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the  mountains seen.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah  opened the window of the ark which he had made:</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,  until the waters were dried up from off the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters  were abated from off the face of the ground;</verse>
+    <verse no='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 forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her  in unto him into the ark.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth  the dove out of the ark;</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her  mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were  abated from off the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove;  which returned not again unto him any more.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in  the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up  from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and  looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of  the month, was the earth dried.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And God spake unto Noah, saying,</verse>

+    <verse no='17'>Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee,  of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing  that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the  earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.</verse>

+    <verse no='19'>Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and  whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out  of the ark.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every  clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on  the altar.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in  his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake;  for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will  I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold  and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.</verse>

+  <chapter no='9'>
+    <verse no='1'>And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be  fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.</verse>

+    <verse no='4'>But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof,  shall ye not eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the  hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the  hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.</verse>

+    <verse no='7'>And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth  abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,</verse>

+    <verse no='17'>And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant,  which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the  earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem,  and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole  earth overspread.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a  vineyard:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was  uncovered within his tent.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his  father, and told his two brethren without.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both  their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their  father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's  nakedness.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son  had done unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall  he be unto his brethren.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan  shall be his servant.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents  of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.</verse>

+    <verse no='15'>And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,</verse>

+    <verse no='17'>And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,</verse>

+    <verse no='19'>And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou  comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah,  and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their  tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the  brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that  they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and  burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they  for morter.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,  whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be  scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which  the children of men builded.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 imagined to do.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language,  that they may not understand one another's speech.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face  of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Therefore is the name of it called 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years  old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years,  and begat sons and daughters.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:</verse>

+    <verse no='26'>And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and  Haran.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram,  Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his  nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's  wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of  Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>But Sarai was barren; she had no child.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his  son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and  they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land  of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and  Terah died in Haran.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='12'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy  country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land  that I will shew thee:</verse>

+    <verse no='4'>So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot  went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he  departed out of Haran.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son,  and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they  had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan;  and into the land of Canaan they came.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem,  unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed  will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who  appeared unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of  Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the  east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the  name of the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into  Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into  Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou  art a fair woman to look upon:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall  see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me,  but they will save thee alive.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well  with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt,  the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her  before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep,  and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she  asses, and camels.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great  plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou  hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her  to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent  him away, and his wife, and all that he had.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='13'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all  that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel,  unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel  and Hai;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the  first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds,  and tents.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the land was not able to bear them, that they might  dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not  dwell together.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle  and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite  dwelled then in the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray  thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for  we be brethren.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray  thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the  right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of  Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed  Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of  Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot  journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the  cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD  exceedingly.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated  from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou  art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it,  and to thy seed for ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that  if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be  numbered.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the  breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain  of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and  he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;</verse>

+    <verse no='3'>And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight,  pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:</verse>

+    <verse no='6'>And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said,  Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make  cakes upon the hearth.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and  good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had  dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree,  and they did eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he  said, Behold, in the tent.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to  the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah  heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and  it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am  waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?</verse>

+    <verse no='25'>That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the  righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the  wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do  right?</verse>

+    <verse no='32'>And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak  yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said,  I will not destroy it for ten's sake.</verse>

+    <verse no='10'>But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the  house to them, and shut to the door.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son  in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in  the city, bring them out of this place:</verse>

+    <verse no='16'>And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and  upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the  LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him  without the city.</verse>

+    <verse no='19'>Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and  thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving  my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me,  and I die:</verse>

+    <verse no='4'>But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt  thou slay also a righteous nation?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she  herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and  innocency of my hands have I done this.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou  didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from  sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet,  and he 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called  all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men  were sore afraid.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast  thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast  brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto  me that ought not to be done.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou  hast done this thing?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God  is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my  father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my  father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou  shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He  is my brother.</verse>

+    <verse no='12'>And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy  sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that  Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall  thy seed be called.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation,  because he is thy seed.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread,  and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her  shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and  wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the  child under one of the shrubs.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way  off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of  the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and  wept.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I  will make him a great nation.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and  she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the  wilderness, and became an archer.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took  him a wife out of the land of Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol  the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with  thee in all that thou doest:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not  deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And Abraham said, I will swear.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water,  which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing;  neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto  Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe  lambs which thou hast set by themselves?</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my  hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they  sware both of them.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose  up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into  the land of the Philistines.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there  on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='22'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt  Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom  thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there  for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee  of.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his  ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and  clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the  place of which God had told him.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw  the place afar off.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the  ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to  you.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it  upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and  they went both of them together.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My  father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire  and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb  for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And they came to the place which God had told him of; and  Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound  Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to  slay his son.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and  said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do  thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing  thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold  behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and  took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of  his son.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as  it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven  the second time,</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for  because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine  only son:</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be  blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and  went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And it came to pass after these things, that it was told  Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy  brother Nahor;</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the  father of Aram,</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old:  these were the years of the life of Sarah.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the  land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for  her.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto  the sons of Heth, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a  possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of  my sight.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the  choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from  thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the  land, even to the children of Heth.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I  should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to  Ephron the son of Zohar,</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath,  which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he  shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the  Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even  of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave  that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my  people give I it thee: bury thy dead.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the  land.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of  the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I  will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my  dead there.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred  shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy  dead.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was  before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the  trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about,  were made sure</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the  children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.</verse>

+  <chapter no='24'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD  had blessed Abraham in all things.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that  ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven,  and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son  of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and  take a wife unto my son Isaac.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will  not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son  again unto the land from whence thou camest?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not  my son thither again.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father'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; he  shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my  son from thence.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then  thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither  again.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his  master, and sware to him concerning that matter.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master,  and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he  arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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 women go  out to draw water.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee,  send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters  of the men of the city come out to draw water:</verse>
+    <verse no='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 same be she  that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I  know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,  behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the  wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither  had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her  pitcher, and came up.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray  thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down  her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will  draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and  ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether  the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that  the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two  bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son  of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender  enough, and room to lodge in.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham,  who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I  being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.</verse>

+    <verse no='29'>And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban  ran out unto the man, unto the well.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And it came to pass, when he saw the earring 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore  standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the  camels.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I  will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And he said, I am Abraham's servant.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is  become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and  gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she  was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a  wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I  dwell:</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred,  and take a wife unto my son.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not  follow me.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send  his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife  for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest  to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from  my oath.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of  my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to  pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to  her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold,  Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down  unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I  pray thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='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  drank, and she made the camels drink also.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she  said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him:  and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and  blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the  right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master,  tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to  the left.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing  proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let  her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.</verse>

+    <verse no='53'>And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels  of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her  brother and to her mother precious things.</verse>

+    <verse no='65'>For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that  walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my  master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.</verse>

+    <verse no='34'>Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he  did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised  his birthright.</verse>

+  <chapter no='26'>
+    <verse no='1'>And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine  that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of  the Philistines unto Gerar.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into  Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will  bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these  countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy  father;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And I will make thy seed to multiply 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;</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my  commandments, my statutes, and my laws.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said,  She is my sister: for he 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time,  that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw,  and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='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, Because I said, Lest I die for her.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one  of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest  have brought guiltiness upon us.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that  toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year  an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he  became very great:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds,  and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in  the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and  filled them with earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much  mightier than we.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the  valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had  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.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a  well of springing water.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen,  saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek;  because they strove with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and  he called the name of it Sitnah.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for  that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he  said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful  in the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he went up from thence to Beersheba.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of  his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye  hate me, and have sent me away from you?</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee:  and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and  thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>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 of the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to  another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is  Beersheba unto this day.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the  daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the  Hittite:</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='27'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes  were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and  said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my  death:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and  thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to  me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau  went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I  heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat,  and bless thee before the LORD before my death.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which  I command thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids  of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as  he loveth:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and  that he may bless thee before his death.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my  brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him  as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son:  only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother:  and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau,  which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger  son:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his  hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had  prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he  said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I  have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat  of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found  it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it  to me.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I  may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him,  and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of  Esau.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as  his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's  venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him,  and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss  me, my son.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell  of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is  as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the  fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord  over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed  be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of  blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of  Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his  father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his  son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he  said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is  he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all  before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a  great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me,  even me also, O my father.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken  away thy blessing.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath  supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold,  now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved  a blessing for me?</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made  him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants;  and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now  unto thee, my son?</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing,  my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his  voice, and wept.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy  dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven  from above;</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy  brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion,  that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his  father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning  for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah:  and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him,  Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself,  purposing to kill thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to  Laban my brother to Haran;</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn  away;</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='28'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him,  and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of  Canaan.</verse>

+    <verse no='6'>When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him  away to Padanaram, 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 daughers of Canaan;</verse>

+    <verse no='11'>And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all  night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that  place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to  sleep.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 descending on it.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of  the people of the east.</verse>

+    <verse no='31'>And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou  shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will  again feed and keep thy flock.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from  thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle  among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of  such shall be my hire.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come,  when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not  speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that  shall be counted stolen with me.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy  word.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked  and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and  every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep,  and gave them into the hand of his sons.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob:  and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel  and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white  appear which was in the rods.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in  the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that  they should conceive when they came to drink.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth  cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the  flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban;  and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's  cattle.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did  conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the  gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the  feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and  maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='31'>
+    <verse no='1'>And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath  taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our  father's hath he gotten all this glory.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it  was not toward him as before.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy  fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto  his flock,</verse>
+    <verse no='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 me.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And ye know that with all my power I have served your  father.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten  times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all  the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be  thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and  given them to me.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 rams  which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying,  Jacob: And I said, Here am I.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams  which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for  I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar,  and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this  land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet  any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us,  and hath quite devoured also our money.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>For all the riches which God hath taken from our father,  that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said  unto thee, do.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon  camels;</verse>
+    <verse no='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  Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the  images that were her father's.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that  he told him not that he fled.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him  seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and  said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or  bad.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in  the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.</verse>
+    <verse no='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  taken with the sword?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and 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?</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?  thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of  your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou  speak not to Jacob either good or bad.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou  sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen  my gods?</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid:  for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from  me.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live:  before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to  thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and  into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he  out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's  furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but  found them not.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord  that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me.  And he searched but found not the images.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob  answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that  thou hast so hotly pursued after me?</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou  found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and  thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy  she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I  not eaten.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I  bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen  by day, or stolen by night.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the  frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.</verse>
+    <verse no='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  thou hast changed my wages ten times.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the  fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now  empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and  rebuked thee yesternight.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>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 born?</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou;  and let it be for a witness between me and thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they  took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it  Galeed.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee  this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee,  when we are absent one from another.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take  other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness  betwixt me and thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this  pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee:</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I  will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over  this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their  father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father  Isaac.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his  brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in  the mount.</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons  and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned  unto his place.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='32'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he  called the name of that place Mahanaim.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother  unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my  lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban,  and stayed there until now:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and  womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace  in thy sight.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy  brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men  with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided  the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the  camels, into two bands;</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it,  then the other company which is left shall escape.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my  father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country,  and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all  the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I  passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Deliver me, I 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 children.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy  seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which  came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred  ewes, and twenty rams,</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten  bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every  drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me,  and put a space betwixt drove and drove.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother  meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither  goest thou? and whose are these before thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us.  For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me,  and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that  night in the company.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his  two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford  Jabbok.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent  over that he had.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him  until the breaking of the day.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he  touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was  out of joint, as he wrestled with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I  will not let thee go, except thou bless me.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but  Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast  prevailed.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy  name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name?  And he blessed him there.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have  seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he  halted upon his thigh.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which  shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because  he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='33'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau  came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto  Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and  Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the  ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his  neck, and kissed him: and they wept.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the  children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children  which God hath graciously given thy servant.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and  they bowed themselves.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed  themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed  themselves.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I  met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou  hast unto thyself.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace  in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have  seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast  pleased with me.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee;  because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.  And he urged him, and he took it.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I  will go before thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are  tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men  should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and  I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and  the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk  that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in  the sight of my lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and  made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called  Succoth.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the  land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent  before the city.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his  tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an  hundred pieces of money.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='34'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob,  went out to see the daughters of the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the  country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he  loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this  damsel to wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now  his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace  until they were come.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to  commune with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard  it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had  wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter: which thing  ought not to be done.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son  Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto  us, and take our daughters unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before  you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let  me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give  according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father  deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give  our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto  us:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we  be, that every male of you be circumcised;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take  your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become  one people.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then  will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he  had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all  the house of his father.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their  city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in  the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough  for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give  them our daughters.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with  us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they  are circumcised.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast  of their's be our's? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell  with us.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that  went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all  that went out of the gate of his city.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore,  that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took  each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the  males.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the  sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city,  because they had defiled their sister.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and  that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their  wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to  make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the  Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall  gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be  destroyed, I and my house.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an  harlot?</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='35'>
+    <verse no='1'>And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell  there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when  thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were  with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean,  and change your garments:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there  an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was  with me in the way which I went.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in  their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob  hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the  cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the  sons of Jacob.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that  is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel:  because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his  brother.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath  Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of  Padanaram, and blessed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a  stranger, in the land of Canaan.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen  years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was  with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's  wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because  he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more  than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably  unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and  they hated him yet the more.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I  have dreamed:</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo,  my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood  round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over  us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet  the more for his dreams, and for his words.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And he dreamed 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 obeisance to me.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his  father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou  hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to  bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the  saying.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in  Shechem.</verse>

+    <verse no='14'>And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well  with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again.  So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.</verse>

+    <verse no='17'>And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them  say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found  them in Dothan.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near  unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into  some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we  shall see what will become of his dreams.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their  hands; and said, Let us not kill him.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren,  that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that  was on him;</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was  empty, there was no water in it.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their  eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead  with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it  down to Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we  slay our brother, and conceal his blood?</verse>

+    <verse no='28'>Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew  and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites  for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.</verse>

+    <verse no='31'>And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats,  and dipped the coat in the blood;</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it  to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be  thy son's coat or no.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast  hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his  loins, and mourned for his son many days.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort  him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down  into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from  his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was  Hirah.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose  name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name  Er.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his  name Onan.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his  name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was  Tamar.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the  LORD; and the LORD slew him.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and  marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he  slew him also.</verse>
+    <verse no='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  peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt  in her father's house.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife  died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to  Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law  goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered  her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which  is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she  was not given unto him to wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because  she had covered her face.</verse>
+    <verse no='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  daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou  mayest come in unto me?</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she  said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said,  Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And  he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her,  and put on the garments of her widowhood.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the  Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found  her not.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the  harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no  harlot in this place.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and  also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed:  behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And it came to pass about three months after, that it was  told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot;  and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring  her forth, and let her be burnt.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more  righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he  knew her again no more.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that,  behold, twins were in her womb.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put  out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet  thread, saying, This came out first.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold,  his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this  breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an  officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of  the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man;  and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the  LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and  he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into  his hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And it came to pass from the time that he had made him  overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed  the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD  was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew  not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a  goodly person, and well favoured.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And it came to pass after these things, that his master's  wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my  master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed  all that he hath to my hand;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he  kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how  then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that  he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into  the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the  house there within.</verse>

+    <verse no='14'>That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto  them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he  came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came  home.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The  Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to  mock me:</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that  he left his garment with me, and fled out.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of  the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of  Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against  the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and  he served them: and they continued a season in ward.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in  one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the  butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the  prison.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon  them, and, behold, they were sad.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the  ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there  is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not  interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to  him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it  budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought  forth ripe grapes:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and  pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's  hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it:  The three branches are three days:</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and  restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into  his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew  kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh,  and bring me out of this house:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews:  and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the  dungeon.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good,  he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three  white baskets on my head:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of  bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket  upon my head.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation  thereof: The three baskets are three days:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from  off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy  flesh from off thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's  birthday, 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again;  and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat  him.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='41'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that  Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well  favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the  river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon  the brink of the river.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the  seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven  ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind  sprung up after them.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full  ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was  troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and  all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there  was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do  remember my faults this day:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in  the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed  each man according to the interpretation of his dream.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant  to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us  our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me  he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him  hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his  raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and  there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that  thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God  shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood  upon the bank of the river:</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine,  fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and  very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land  of Egypt for badness:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first  seven fat kine:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that  they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the  beginning. So I awoke.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in  one stalk, full and good:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with  the east wind, sprung up after them:</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told  this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to  me.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one:  God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears  are seven years: the dream is one.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after  them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east  wind shall be seven years of famine.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God  is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout  all the land of Egypt:</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and  all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine  shall consume the land;</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of  that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is  because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it  to pass.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise,  and set him over the land of Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the  land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven  plenteous years.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And let them gather all the food of those good years that  come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food  in the cities.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And that food shall be for store to the land against the  seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the  land perish not through the famine.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the  eyes of all his servants.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one  as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed  thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word  shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than  thou.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all  the land of Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon  Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a  gold chain about his neck;</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had;  and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all  the land of Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee  shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he  gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And  Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh  king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and  went throughout all the land of Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by  handfuls.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which  were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food  of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much,  until he left numbering; for it was without number.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of  famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare  unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For  God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's  house.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath  caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land  of Egypt, were ended.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as  Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land  of Egypt there was bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people  cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go  unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and  Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the  famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='57'>And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn;  because that the famine was so sore in all lands.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='42'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said  unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in  Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may  live, and not die.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his  brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that  came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was  that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came,  and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made  himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said  unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to  buy food.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them,  and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye  are come.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are  thy servants come.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are  no spies.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the  land ye are come.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of  one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day  with our father, and one is not.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you,  saying, Ye are spies:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall  not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye  shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there  be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are  spies.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he put them all together into ward three days.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live;  for I fear God:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the  house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words  be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And they said one to another, We are verily guilty  concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he  besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come  upon us.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you,  saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore,  behold, also his blood is required.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake  unto them by an interpreter.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and  returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them  Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to  restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for  the way: and thus did he unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed  thence.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender  in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's  mouth.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and,  lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were  afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of  Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us,  and took us for spies of the country.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and  the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby  shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with  me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know  that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you  your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that,  behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they  and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved  of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take  Benjamin away: all these things are against me.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons,  if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring  him to thee again.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his  brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the  way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with  sorrow to the grave.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='43'>
+    <verse no='1'>And the famine was sore in the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which  they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again,  buy us a little food.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly  protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother  be with you.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and  buy thee food:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the  man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with  you.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to  tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and  of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another  brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could  we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me,  and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and  thou, and also our little ones.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him:  if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear  the blame for ever:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this  second time.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so  now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and  carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey,  spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And take double money in your hand; and the money that was  brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand;  peradventure it was an oversight:</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may  send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my  children, I am bereaved.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And the men took that present, and they took double money in  their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood  before Joseph.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler  of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these  men shall dine with me at noon.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men  into Joseph's house.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And the men were afraid, because they were brought into  Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned  in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek  occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our  asses.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and  they communed with him at the door of the house,</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to  buy food:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened  our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack,  our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy  food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the  God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your  money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave  them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses  provender.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon:  for they heard that they should eat bread there.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present  which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to  the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father  well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health,  he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his  mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake  unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his  brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber,  and wept there.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself,  and said, Set on bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And they set on for him by himself, and for them by  themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by  themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews;  for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his  birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men  marvelled one at another.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but  Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's. And they  drank, and were merry with him.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='44'>
+    <verse no='1'>And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the  men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's  money in his sack's mouth.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the  youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that  Joseph had spoken.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away,  they and their asses.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far  off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when  thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil  for good?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed  he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same  words.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words?  God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we  brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we  steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him  die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words:  he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be  blameless.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the  ground, and opened every man his sack.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the  youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass,  and returned to the city.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he  was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have  done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall  we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the  iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we,  and he also with whom the cup is found.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in  whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you,  get you up in peace unto your father.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy  servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine  anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a  brother?</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and  a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he  alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me,  that I may set mine eyes upon him.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father:  for if he should leave his father, his father would die.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest  brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my  father, we told him the words of my lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be  with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face,  except our youngest brother be with us.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife  bare me two sons:</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn  in pieces; and I saw him not since:</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him,  ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the  lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not  with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray  hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father,  saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my  father for ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of  the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with  me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='45'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that  stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And  there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his  brethren.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of  Pharaoh heard.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my  father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were  troubled at his presence.</verse>

+    <verse no='18'>And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this  is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know  it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but  truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall  become a multitude of nations.</verse>
