And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 in the wildernessH4057 of SinaiH5514, in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, on the firstH259 day of the secondH8145 monthH2320, in the secondH8145 yearH8141 after they were come outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559,

And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 tookH3947 these menH582 which are expressedH5344 by their namesH8034:
And they assembledH6950 all the congregationH5712 togetherH6950 on the firstH259 day of the secondH8145 monthH2320, and they declared their pedigreesH3205 after their familiesH4940, by the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, according to the numberH4557 of the namesH8034, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, by their pollsH1538.

Those that were numberedH6485 of them, even of the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, were fiftyH2572 and threeH7969 thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967.
These are those that were numberedH6485, which MosesH4872 and AaronH175 numberedH6485, and the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, being twelveH6240+H8147 menH376: eachH376 oneH259 was for the houseH1004 of his fathersH1.
So were all those that were numberedH6485 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, by the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, all that were able to go forthH3318 to warH6635 in IsraelH3478;

But the LevitesH3881 after the tribeH4294 of their fathersH1 were not numberedH6485 amongH8432 them.
For the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
Only thou shalt not numberH6485 the tribeH4294 of LeviH3878, neither takeH5375 the sumH7218 of them amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
But thou shalt appointH6485 the LevitesH3881 over the tabernacleH4908 of testimonyH5715, and over all the vesselsH3627 thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bearH5375 the tabernacleH4908, and all the vesselsH3627 thereof; and they shall ministerH8334 unto it, and shall encampH2583 round aboutH5439 the tabernacleH4908.
And when the tabernacleH4908 setteth forwardH5265, the LevitesH3881 shall take it downH3381: and when the tabernacleH4908 is to be pitchedH2583, the LevitesH3881 shall set it upH6965: and the strangerH2114 that cometh nighH7131 shall be put to deathH4191.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall pitch their tentsH2583, every manH376 by his own campH4264, and every manH376 by his own standardH1714, throughout their hostsH6635.
But the LevitesH3881 shall pitchH2583 round aboutH5439 the tabernacleH4908 of testimonyH5715, that there be no wrathH7110 upon the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the LevitesH3881 shall keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH4908 of testimonyH5715.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 according to all that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872, so didH6213 they.

On the west sideH3220 shall be the standardH1714 of the campH4264 of EphraimH669 according to their armiesH6635: and the captainH5387 of the sonsH1121 of EphraimH669 shall be ElishamaH476 the sonH1121 of AmmihudH5989.
And his hostH6635, and those that were numberedH6485 of them, were fortyH705 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967.
These are the sonsH1121 of EphraimH669 after their familiesH4940: of ShuthelahH7803, the familyH4940 of the ShuthalhitesH8364: of BecherH1071, the familyH4940 of the BachritesH1076: of TahanH8465, the familyH4940 of the TahanitesH8470.
And these are the sonsH1121 of ShuthelahH7803: of EranH6197, the familyH4940 of the EranitesH6198.
These are the familiesH4940 of the sonsH1121 of EphraimH669 according to those that were numberedH6485 of them, thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967. These are the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 after their familiesH4940.
And she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JosephH3130; and saidH559, The LORDH3068 shall addH3254 to me anotherH312 sonH1121. {Joseph: that is, Adding}
And JacobH3290 dweltH3427 in the landH776 wherein his fatherH1 was a strangerH4033, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. {wherein…: Heb. of his father's sojournings}
These are the generationsH8435 of JacobH3290. JosephH3130, being seventeenH6240+H7651 yearsH8141 oldH1121, was feedingH7462 the flockH6629 with his brethrenH251; and the ladH5288 was with the sonsH1121 of BilhahH1090, and with the sonsH1121 of ZilpahH2153, his father'sH1 wivesH802: and JosephH3130 broughtH935 unto his fatherH1 their evilH7451 reportH1681.
Now IsraelH3478 lovedH157 JosephH3130 more than all his childrenH1121, because he was the sonH1121 of his old ageH2208: and he madeH6213 him a coatH3801 of many coloursH6446. {colours: or, pieces}
And when his brethrenH251 sawH7200 that their fatherH1 lovedH157 him more than all his brethrenH251, they hatedH8130 him, and couldH3201 not speakH1696 peaceablyH7965 unto him.
And JosephH3130 dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and he toldH5046 it his brethrenH251: and they hatedH8130 him yet the moreH3254.
And he saidH559 unto them, HearH8085, I pray you, this dreamH2472 which I have dreamedH2492:
For, behold, we were bindingH481+H8432 sheavesH485 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, my sheafH485 aroseH6965, and also stood uprightH5324; and, behold, your sheavesH485 stood round aboutH5437, and made obeisanceH7812 to my sheafH485.
And his brethrenH251 saidH559 to him, Shalt thou indeedH4427 reignH4427 over us? or shalt thou indeedH4910 have dominionH4910 over us? And they hatedH8130 him yet the moreH3254 for his dreamsH2472, and for his wordsH1697.
And he dreamedH2492 yet anotherH312 dreamH2472, and toldH5608 it his brethrenH251, and saidH559, Behold, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 more; and, behold, the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 and the elevenH6240+H259 starsH3556 made obeisanceH7812 to me.
And he toldH5608 it to his fatherH1, and to his brethrenH251: and his fatherH1 rebukedH1605 him, and saidH559 unto him, What is this dreamH2472 that thou hast dreamedH2492? Shall I and thy motherH517 and thy brethrenH251 indeedH935 comeH935 to bow downH7812 ourselves to thee to the earthH776?
And his brethrenH251 enviedH7065 him; but his fatherH1 observedH8104 the sayingH1697.
And his brethrenH251 wentH3212 to feedH7462 their father'sH1 flockH6629 in ShechemH7927.
And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Do not thy brethrenH251 feedH7462 the flock in ShechemH7927? comeH3212, and I will send theeH7971 unto them. And he saidH559 to him, Here am I.
And he saidH559 to him, GoH3212, I pray thee, seeH7200 whether it be wellH7965 with thy brethrenH251, and wellH7965 with the flocksH6629; and bringH7725 me wordH1697 againH7725. So he sentH7971 him out of the valeH6010 of HebronH2275, and he cameH935 to ShechemH7927. {see…: Heb. see the peace of thy brethren, etc.}
And a certain manH376 found himH4672, and, behold, he was wanderingH8582 in the fieldH7704: and the manH376 asked himH7592, sayingH559, What seekestH1245 thou?
And he saidH559, I seekH1245 my brethrenH251: tellH5046 me, I pray thee, whereH375 they feedH7462 their flocks.
And the manH376 saidH559, They are departedH5265 henceH2088; for I heardH8085 them sayH559, Let us goH3212 to DothanH1886. And JosephH3130 wentH3212 afterH310 his brethrenH251, and foundH4672 them in DothanH1886.
And when they sawH7200 him afar offH7350, even before he came nearH7126 unto them, they conspiredH5230 against him to slayH4191 him.
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Behold, thisH1976 dreamerH1167+H2472 comethH935. {dreamer: Heb. master of dreams}
ComeH3212 now therefore, and let us slayH2026 him, and castH7993 him into someH259 pitH953, and we will sayH559, Some evilH7451 beastH2416 hath devouredH398 him: and we shall seeH7200 what will become of his dreamsH2472.
And ReubenH7205 heardH8085 it, and he deliveredH5337 him out of their handsH3027; and saidH559, Let us not killH5221+H5315 him.
And ReubenH7205 saidH559 unto them, ShedH8210 no bloodH1818, but castH7993 him into this pitH953 that is in the wildernessH4057, and layH7971 no handH3027 upon him; that he might ridH5337 him out of their handsH3027, to deliverH7725 him to his fatherH1 againH7725.
And it came to pass, when JosephH3130 was comeH935 unto his brethrenH251, that they striptH6584+H853 JosephH3130 out ofH854 his coatH3801, his coatH3801 of many coloursH6446 that was on him; {colours: or, pieces}
And they tookH3947 him, and castH7993 him into a pitH953: and the pitH953 was emptyH7386, there was no waterH4325 in it.
And they sat downH3427 to eatH398 breadH3899: and they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, a companyH736 of IshmeelitesH3459 cameH935 from GileadH1568 with their camelsH1581 bearingH5375 spiceryH5219 and balmH6875 and myrrhH3910, goingH1980 to carry it downH3381 to EgyptH4714.
And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, What profitH1215 is it if we slayH2026 our brotherH251, and concealH3680 his bloodH1818?
ComeH3212, and let us sellH4376 him to the IshmeelitesH3459, and let not our handH3027 be upon him; for he is our brotherH251 and our fleshH1320. And his brethrenH251 were contentH8085. {were…: Heb. hearkened}
Then there passedH5674 by MidianitesH4084 merchantmenH582+H5503; and they drewH4900 and lifted upH5927 JosephH3130 out of the pitH953, and soldH4376 JosephH3130 to the IshmeelitesH3459 for twentyH6242 pieces of silverH3701: and they broughtH935 JosephH3130 into EgyptH4714.
And ReubenH7205 returnedH7725 unto the pitH953; and, behold, JosephH3130 was not in the pitH953; and he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And he returnedH7725 unto his brethrenH251, and saidH559, The childH3206 is not; and I, whitherH575 shall I goH935?
And they tookH3947 Joseph'sH3130 coatH3801, and killedH7819 a kidH8163 of the goatsH5795, and dippedH2881 the coatH3801 in the bloodH1818;
And they sentH7971 the coatH3801 of many coloursH6446, and they broughtH935 it to their fatherH1; and saidH559, This have we foundH4672: knowH5234 now whether it be thy son'sH1121 coatH3801 or no.
And he knew itH5234, and saidH559, It is my son'sH1121 coatH3801; an evilH7451 beastH2416 hath devouredH398 him; JosephH3130 is without doubtH2963 rent in piecesH2963.
And JacobH3290 rentH7167 his clothesH8071, and putH7760 sackclothH8242 upon his loinsH4975, and mournedH56 for his sonH1121 manyH7227 daysH3117.
And all his sonsH1121 and all his daughtersH1323 rose upH6965 to comfortH5162 him; but he refusedH3985 to be comfortedH5162; and he saidH559, For I will go downH3381 into the graveH7585 unto my sonH1121 mourningH57. Thus his fatherH1 weptH1058 for him.
And the MidianitesH4092 soldH4376 him into EgyptH4714 unto PotipharH6318, an officerH5631 of Pharaoh'sH6547, and captainH8269 of the guardH2876. {officer: Heb. eunuch: but the word doth signify not only eunuchs, but also chamberlains, courtiers, and officers} {captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the slaughter men, or executioners}
And JosephH3130 was brought downH3381 to EgyptH4714; and PotipharH6318, an officerH5631 of PharaohH6547, captainH8269 of the guardH2876, an EgyptianH376+H4713, boughtH7069 him of the handsH3027 of the IshmeelitesH3459, which had brought him downH3381 thither.
And the LORDH3068 was with JosephH3130, and he was a prosperousH6743 manH376; and he was in the houseH1004 of his masterH113 the EgyptianH4713.
And his masterH113 sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 was with him, and that the LORDH3068 made all that he didH6213 to prosperH6743 in his handH3027.
And JosephH3130 foundH4672 graceH2580 in his sightH5869, and he servedH8334 him: and he made him overseerH6485 over his houseH1004, and all that he hadH3426 he putH5414 into his handH3027.
And it came to pass from the timeH227 that he had made him overseerH6485 in his houseH1004, and over all that he hadH3426, that the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the Egyptian'sH4713 houseH1004 for Joseph'sH3130 sakeH1558; and the blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068 was upon all that he hadH3426 in the houseH1004, and in the fieldH7704.
And he leftH5800 all that he had in Joseph'sH3130 handH3027; and he knewH3045 not oughtH3972 he had, saveH518 the breadH3899 which he did eatH398. And JosephH3130 was a goodlyH8389 person, and wellH3303 favouredH4758.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that his master'sH113 wifeH802 castH5375 her eyesH5869 upon JosephH3130; and she saidH559, LieH7901 with me.
But he refusedH3985, and saidH559 unto his master'sH113 wifeH802, Behold, my masterH113 wottethH3045 not what is with me in the houseH1004, and he hath committedH5414 all that he hathH3426 to my handH3027;
There is none greaterH1419 in this houseH1004 than I; neitherH3808 hath he kept backH2820 any thingH3972 from me but thee, becauseH834 thouH859 art his wifeH802: how then can I doH6213 this greatH1419 wickednessH7451, and sinH2398 against GodH430?
And it came to pass, as she spakeH1696 to JosephH3130 dayH3117 by dayH3117, that he hearkenedH8085 not unto her, to lieH7901 by herH681, or to be with her.
And it came to pass about this timeH3117, that Joseph wentH935 into the houseH1004 to doH6213 his businessH4399; and there was none of the menH376+H582 of the houseH1004 there within.
And she caughtH8610 him by his garmentH899, sayingH559, LieH7901 with me: and he leftH5800 his garmentH899 in her handH3027, and fledH5127, and gotH3318 him outH2351.
And it came to pass, when she sawH7200 that he had leftH5800 his garmentH899 in her handH3027, and was fledH5127 forthH2351,
That she calledH7121 unto the menH582 of her houseH1004, and spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, SeeH7200, he hath brought inH935 an HebrewH376+H5680 unto us to mockH6711 us; he came inH935 unto me to lieH7901 with me, and I criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963: {loud: Heb. great}
And it came to pass, when he heardH8085 that I lifted upH7311 my voiceH6963 and criedH7121, that he leftH5800 his garmentH899 with meH681, and fledH5127, and got himH3318 outH2351.
And she laid upH3240 his garmentH899 by herH681, until his lordH113 cameH935 homeH1004.
And she spakeH1696 unto him according to these wordsH1697, sayingH559, The HebrewH5680 servantH5650, which thou hast broughtH935 unto us, came inH935 unto me to mockH6711 me:
And it came to pass, as I lifted upH7311 my voiceH6963 and criedH7121, that he leftH5800 his garmentH899 with meH681, and fledH5127 outH2351.
And it came to pass, when his masterH113 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his wifeH802, which she spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, After this mannerH1697 didH6213 thy servantH5650 to me; that his wrathH639 was kindledH2734.
And Joseph'sH3130 masterH113 tookH3947 him, and put himH5414 into the prisonH1004+H5470, a placeH4725 where the king'sH4428 prisonersH615 were boundH631: and he was there in the prisonH1004+H5470.
But the LORDH3068 was with JosephH3130, and shewedH5186 him mercyH2617, and gaveH5414 him favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the keeperH8269 of the prisonH1004+H5470. {shewed…: Heb. extended kindness unto him}
And the keeperH8269 of the prisonH1004+H5470 committedH5414 to Joseph'sH3130 handH3027 all the prisonersH615 that were in the prisonH1004+H5470; and whatsoever they didH6213 there, he was the doerH6213 of it.
The keeperH8269 of the prisonH1004+H5470 lookedH7200 not to any thingH3972 that was under his handH3027; because the LORDH3068 was with him, and that which he didH6213, the LORDH3068 made it to prosperH6743.
And unto JosephH3130 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 were bornH3205 ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669, which AsenathH621 the daughterH1323 of PotipherahH6319 priestH3548 of OnH204 bareH3205 unto him. {priest: or, prince}
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that one toldH559 JosephH3130, Behold, thy fatherH1 is sickH2470: and he tookH3947 with him his twoH8147 sonsH1121, ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669.
And one toldH5046 JacobH3290, and saidH559, Behold, thy sonH1121 JosephH3130 comethH935 unto thee: and IsraelH3478 strengthenedH2388 himself, and satH3427 upon the bedH4296.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, GodH410 AlmightyH7706 appearedH7200 unto me at LuzH3870 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and blessedH1288 me,
And saidH559 unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 thee, and I will makeH5414 of thee a multitudeH6951 of peopleH5971; and will giveH5414 this landH776 to thy seedH2233 after theeH310 for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272.
And now thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, which were bornH3205 unto thee in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 beforeH5704 I cameH935 unto thee into EgyptH4714, are mine; as ReubenH7205 and SimeonH8095, they shall be mine.
And thy issueH4138, which thou begettestH3205 afterH310 them, shall be thine, and shall be calledH7121 afterH5921 the nameH8034 of their brethrenH251 in their inheritanceH5159.
And as for me, when I cameH935 from PadanH6307, RachelH7354 diedH4191 by me in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 in the wayH1870, whenH5750 yet there was but a littleH3530 wayH776 to comeH935 unto EphrathH672: and I buried herH6912 there in the wayH1870 of EphrathH672; the same is BethlehemH1035.
And IsraelH3478 beheldH7200 Joseph'sH3130 sonsH1121, and saidH559, Who are these?
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, They are my sonsH1121, whom GodH430 hath givenH5414 me in this place. And he saidH559, Bring themH3947, I pray thee, unto me, and I will blessH1288 them.
Now the eyesH5869 of IsraelH3478 were dimH3513 for ageH2207, so that he couldH3201 not seeH7200. And he brought them nearH5066 unto him; and he kissedH5401 them, and embracedH2263 them. {dim: Heb. heavy}
And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I had not thoughtH6419 to seeH7200 thy faceH6440: and, lo, GodH430 hath shewedH7200 me also thy seedH2233.
And JosephH3130 brought them outH3318 from betweenH5973 his kneesH1290, and he bowedH7812 himself with his faceH639 to the earthH776.
And JosephH3130 tookH3947 them bothH8147, EphraimH669 in his right handH3225 toward Israel'sH3478 left handH8040, and ManassehH4519 in his left handH8040 toward Israel'sH3478 right handH3225, and brought them nearH5066 unto him.
And IsraelH3478 stretched outH7971 his right handH3225, and laidH7896 it upon Ephraim'sH669 headH7218, who was the youngerH6810, and his left handH8040 upon Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218, guidingH7919 his handsH3027 wittinglyH7919; for ManassehH4519 was the firstbornH1060.
And he blessedH1288 JosephH3130, and saidH559, GodH430, beforeH6440 whom my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 did walkH1980, the GodH430 which fedH7462 me all my life longH5750 unto this dayH3117,
The AngelH4397 which redeemedH1350 me from all evilH7451, blessH1288 the ladsH5288; and let my nameH8034 be namedH7121 on them, and the nameH8034 of my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327; and let them growH1711 into a multitudeH7230 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776. {grow: Heb. as fishes do increase}
And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 that his fatherH1 laidH7896 his rightH3225 handH3027 upon the headH7218 of EphraimH669, it displeasedH3415+H5869 him: and he held upH8551 his father'sH1 handH3027, to removeH5493 it from Ephraim'sH669 headH7218 unto Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218. {displeased…: was evil in his eyes}
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Not so, my fatherH1: for this is the firstbornH1060; putH7760 thy right handH3225 upon his headH7218.
And his fatherH1 refusedH3985, and saidH559, I knowH3045 it, my sonH1121, I knowH3045 it: he also shall become a peopleH5971, and he also shall be greatH1431: but trulyH199 his youngerH6996 brotherH251 shall be greaterH1431 than he, and his seedH2233 shall become a multitudeH4393 of nationsH1471. {multitude: Heb. fulness}
And he blessedH1288 them that dayH3117, sayingH559, In thee shall IsraelH3478 blessH1288, sayingH559, GodH430 makeH7760 thee as EphraimH669 and as ManassehH4519: and he setH7760 EphraimH669 beforeH6440 ManassehH4519.
And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Behold, I dieH4191: but GodH430 shall be with you, and bring you againH7725 unto the landH776 of your fathersH1.
Moreover I have givenH5414 to thee oneH259 portionH7926 above thy brethrenH251, which I tookH3947 out of the handH3027 of the AmoriteH567 with my swordH2719 and with my bowH7198.
JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121, even a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a wellH5869; whose branchesH1323 runH6805 over the wallH7791: {branches: Heb. daughters}
The archersH1167+H2671 have sorely grieved himH4843, and shotH7232 at him, and hated himH7852:
But his bowH7198 abodeH3427 in strengthH386, and the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strongH6339 by the handsH3027 of the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290; (from thence is the shepherdH7462, the stoneH68 of IsraelH3478:)
Even by the GodH410 of thy fatherH1, who shall helpH5826 thee; and byH854 the AlmightyH7706, who shall blessH1288 thee with blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 aboveH5920, blessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that liethH7257 under, blessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699, and of the wombH7356:
The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1 have prevailedH1396 above the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsH2029 unto the utmost boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389: they shall be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and on the crown of the headH6936 of him that was separateH5139 from his brethrenH251.
His gloryH1926 is like the firstlingH1060 of his bullockH7794, and his hornsH7161 are like the hornsH7161 of unicornsH7214: with them he shall pushH5055 the peopleH5971 togetherH3162 to the endsH657 of the earthH776: and they are the ten thousandsH7233 of EphraimH669, and they are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519. {unicorns: Heb. an unicorn}
