And the boysH5288 grewH1431: and EsauH6215 was a cunningH3045 hunterH6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; and JacobH3290 was a plainH8535 manH376, dwellingH3427 in tentsH168.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. LORDH3068, rememberH2142 DavidH1732, and all his afflictionsH6031:
How he swareH7650 unto the LORDH3068, and vowedH5087 unto the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290;
Surely I will not comeH935 into the tabernacleH168 of my houseH1004, nor go upH5927 into my bedH6210+H3326;
I will not giveH5414 sleepH8153 to mine eyesH5869, or slumberH8572 to mine eyelidsH6079,
Until I find outH4672 a placeH4725 for the LORDH3068, an habitationH4908 for the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290. {an habitation: Heb. habitations}
Lo, we heardH8085 of it at EphratahH672: we foundH4672 it in the fieldsH7704 of the woodH3293.
We will goH935 into his tabernaclesH4908: we will worshipH7812 at his footstoolH1916+H7272.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, into thy restH4496; thou, and the arkH727 of thy strengthH5797.
Let thy priestsH3548 be clothedH3847 with righteousnessH6664; and let thy saintsH2623 shout for joyH7442.
For thy servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake turn not awayH7725 the faceH6440 of thine anointedH4899.
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 in truthH571 unto DavidH1732; he will not turnH7725 from it; Of the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990 will I setH7896 upon thy throneH3678. {body: Heb. belly}
If thy childrenH1121 will keepH8104 my covenantH1285 and my testimonyH5713 thatH2090+H2097 I shall teachH3925 them, their childrenH1121 shall also sitH3427 upon thy throneH3678 for evermoreH5703.
For the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 ZionH6726; he hath desiredH183 it for his habitationH4186.
This is my restH4496 for everH5703: here will I dwellH3427; for I have desiredH183 it.
I will abundantlyH1288 blessH1288 her provisionH6718: I will satisfyH7646 her poorH34 with breadH3899. {abundantly: or, surely}
I will also clotheH3847 her priestsH3548 with salvationH3468: and her saintsH2623 shall shout aloudH7442 for joyH7444.
There will I makeH6779 the hornH7161 of DavidH1732 to budH6779: I have ordainedH6186 a lampH5216 for mine anointedH4899. {lamp: or, candle}
His enemiesH341 will I clotheH3847 with shameH1322: but upon himself shall his crownH5145 flourishH6692.
Then againH3254 AbrahamH85 tookH3947 a wifeH802, and her nameH8034 was KeturahH6989.
And she bareH3205 him ZimranH2175, and JokshanH3370, and MedanH4091, and MidianH4080, and IshbakH3435, and ShuahH7744.
And JokshanH3370 begatH3205 ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719. And the sonsH1121 of DedanH1719 were AsshurimH805, and LetushimH3912, and LeummimH3817.
And the sonsH1121 of MidianH4080; EphahH5891, and EpherH6081, and HanochH2585, and AbidaH28, and EldaahH420. All these were the childrenH1121 of KeturahH6989.
And AbrahamH85 gaveH5414 all that he had unto IsaacH3327.
But unto the sonsH1121 of the concubinesH6370, which AbrahamH85 had, AbrahamH85 gaveH5414 giftsH4979, and sent them awayH7971 from IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, while he yet livedH2416, eastwardH6924, unto the eastH6924 countryH776.
And these are the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of Abraham'sH85 lifeH2416 which he livedH2425, an hundredH3967+H8141 threescore and fifteenH7657+H8141+H2568 yearsH8141.
Then AbrahamH85 gave up the ghostH1478, and diedH4191 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872, an old manH2205, and fullH7649 of years; and was gatheredH622 to his peopleH5971.
And his sonsH1121 IsaacH3327 and IshmaelH3458 buriedH6912 him in the caveH4631 of MachpelahH4375, in the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the sonH1121 of ZoharH6714 the HittiteH2850, which is beforeH6440 MamreH4471;
The fieldH7704 which AbrahamH85 purchasedH7069 of the sonsH1121 of HethH2845: there was AbrahamH85 buriedH6912, and SarahH8283 his wifeH802.
And it came to pass afterH310 the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85, that GodH430 blessedH1288 his sonH1121 IsaacH3327; and IsaacH3327 dweltH3427 byH5973 the well LahairoiH883.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of IshmaelH3458, Abraham'sH85 sonH1121, whom HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, Sarah'sH8283 handmaidH8198, bareH3205 unto AbrahamH85:
And these are the namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, by their namesH8034, according to their generationsH8435: the firstbornH1060 of IshmaelH3458, NebajothH5032; and KedarH6938, and AdbeelH110, and MibsamH4017,
And MishmaH4927, and DumahH1746, and MassaH4854,
HadarH2316, and TemaH8485, JeturH3195, NaphishH5305, and KedemahH6929: {Hadar: or, Hadad}
These are the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, and these are their namesH8034, by their townsH2691, and by their castlesH2918; twelveH8147+H6240 princesH5387 according to their nationsH523.
And these are the yearsH8141 of the lifeH2416 of IshmaelH3458, an hundredH3967+H8141 and thirtyH7970+H8141 and sevenH7651 yearsH8141: and he gave up the ghostH1478 and diedH4191; and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971.
And they dweltH7931 from HavilahH2341 unto ShurH7793, that is beforeH6440 EgyptH4714, as thou goestH935 toward AssyriaH804: and he diedH5307 in the presenceH6440 of all his brethrenH251. {died: Heb. fell}
And these are the generationsH8435 of IsaacH3327, Abraham'sH85 sonH1121: AbrahamH85 begatH3205 IsaacH3327:
And IsaacH3327 was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he tookH3947 RebekahH7259 to wifeH802, the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the SyrianH761 of PadanaramH6307, the sisterH269 to LabanH3837 the SyrianH761.
And IsaacH3327 intreatedH6279 the LORDH3068 forH5227 his wifeH802, because she was barrenH6135: and the LORDH3068 was intreatedH6279 of him, and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802 conceivedH2029.
And the childrenH1121 struggled togetherH7533 within herH7130; and she saidH559, If it be so, why am I thusH2088? And she wentH3212 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in thy wombH990, and two mannerH8147 of peopleH3816 shall be separatedH6504 from thy bowelsH4578; and the one peopleH3816 shall be strongerH553 than the other peopleH3816; and the elderH7227 shall serveH5647 the youngerH6810.
And when her daysH3117 to be deliveredH3205 were fulfilledH4390, behold, there were twinsH8380 in her wombH990.
And the firstH7223 came outH3318 redH132, all over like an hairyH8181 garmentH155; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 EsauH6215.
And afterH310 that cameH3318 his brotherH251 outH3318, and his handH3027 took holdH270 on Esau'sH6215 heelH6119; and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 JacobH3290: and IsaacH3327 was threescoreH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when she bareH3205 them.
And the boysH5288 grewH1431: and EsauH6215 was a cunningH3045 hunterH6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; and JacobH3290 was a plainH8535 manH376, dwellingH3427 in tentsH168.
And IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, because he did eatH6310 of his venisonH6718: but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290. {he…: Heb. venison was in his mouth}
And JacobH3290 sodH2102 pottageH5138: and EsauH6215 cameH935 from the fieldH7704, and he was faintH5889:
And EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, FeedH3938 me, I pray thee, withH4480 that sameH122 redH122 pottage; for I am faintH5889: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 EdomH123. {with…: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red}
And JacobH3290 saidH559, SellH4376 me this dayH3117 thy birthrightH1062.
And EsauH6215 saidH559, Behold, I am at the pointH1980 to dieH4191: and what profit shall this birthrightH1062 do to me? {at…: Heb. going to die}
And JacobH3290 saidH559, SwearH7650 to me this dayH3117; and he swareH7650 unto him: and he soldH4376 his birthrightH1062 unto JacobH3290.
Then JacobH3290 gaveH5414 EsauH6215 breadH3899 and pottageH5138 of lentilesH5742; and he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and rose upH6965, and went his wayH3212: thus EsauH6215 despisedH959 his birthrightH1062.
LestG3361 there be anyG5100 fornicatorG4205, orG2228 profane personG952, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG3391 morsel of meatG1035 soldG591 hisG846 birthrightG4415.
And it came to passH1961, that when IsaacH3327 was oldH2204, and his eyesH5869 were dimH3543, so that he could not seeH7200, he calledH7121 EsauH6215 his eldestH1419 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, My sonH1121: and he saidH559 unto him, Behold, here am I.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I am oldH2204, I knowH3045 not the dayH3117 of my deathH4194:
Now therefore takeH5375, I pray thee, thy weaponsH3627, thy quiverH8522 and thy bowH7198, and go outH3318 to the fieldH7704, and takeH6679 me some venisonH6718+H6720; {take: Heb. hunt}
And makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, such asH834 I loveH157, and bringH935 it to me, that I may eatH398; that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee beforeH2962 I dieH4191.
And RebekahH7259 heardH8085 when IsaacH3327 spakeH1696 to EsauH6215 his sonH1121. And EsauH6215 wentH3212 to the fieldH7704 to huntH6679 for venisonH6718, and to bringH935 it.
And RebekahH7259 spakeH559 unto JacobH3290 her sonH1121, sayingH559, Behold, I heardH8085 thy fatherH1 speakH1696 unto EsauH6215 thy brotherH251, sayingH559,
BringH935 me venisonH6718, and makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 my deathH4194.
Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 according to that whichH834 I commandH6680 thee.
GoH3212 now to the flockH6629, and fetchH3947 me from thence twoH8147 goodH2896 kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795; and I will makeH6213 them savoury meatH4303 for thy fatherH1, such as he lovethH157:
And thou shalt bringH935 it to thy fatherH1, that he may eatH398, and thatH834 he may blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 his deathH4194.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 to RebekahH7259 his motherH517, Behold, EsauH6215 my brotherH251 is a hairyH8163 manH376, and I am a smoothH2509 manH376:
My fatherH1 peradventure will feelH4959 me, and I shall seemH5869 to him as a deceiverH8591; and I shall bringH935 a curseH7045 upon me, and not a blessingH1293.
And his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Upon me be thy curseH7045, my sonH1121: only obeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and goH3212 fetchH3947 me them.
And he wentH3212, and fetchedH3947, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517: and his motherH517 madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, such as his fatherH1 lovedH157.
And RebekahH7259 tookH3947 goodlyH2532 raimentH899 of her eldestH1419 sonH1121 EsauH6215, which were with her in the houseH1004, and put them uponH3847 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121: {goodly: Heb. desirable}
And she putH3847 the skinsH5785 of the kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795 upon his handsH3027, and upon the smoothH2513 of his neckH6677:
And she gaveH5414 the savoury meatH4303 and the breadH3899, which she had preparedH6213, into the handH3027 of her sonH1121 JacobH3290.
And he cameH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I; who art thou, my sonH1121?
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215 thy firstbornH1060; I have doneH6213 according as thou badestH1696 me: ariseH6965, I pray thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto his sonH1121, How is it that thou hast foundH4672 it so quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, Because the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH7136 it to meH6440. {to me: Heb. before me}
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Come nearH5066, I pray thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whether thou be my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215 or not.
And JacobH3290 went nearH5066 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; and he feltH4959 him, and saidH559, The voiceH6963 is Jacob'sH3290 voiceH6963, but the handsH3027 are the handsH3027 of EsauH6215.
And he discernedH5234 him not, because his handsH3027 were hairyH8163, as his brotherH251 Esau'sH6215 handsH3027: so he blessedH1288 him.
And he saidH559, Art thou my very sonH1121 EsauH6215? And he saidH559, I am.
And he saidH559, Bring it nearH5066 to me, and I will eatH398 of my son'sH1121 venisonH6718, that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee. And he brought it nearH5066 to him, and he did eatH398: and he broughtH935 him wineH3196, and he drankH8354.
And his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto him, Come nearH5066 now, and kissH5401 me, my sonH1121.
And he came nearH5066, and kissedH5401 him: and he smelledH7306 the smellH7381 of his raimentH899, and blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, SeeH7200, the smellH7381 of my sonH1121 is as the smellH7381 of a fieldH7704 which the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288:
Therefore GodH430 giveH5414 thee of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064, and the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and plentyH7230 of cornH1715 and wineH8492:
Let peopleH5971 serveH5647 thee, and nationsH3816 bow downH7812 to thee: beH1933 lordH1376 over thy brethrenH251, and let thy mother'sH517 sonsH1121 bow downH7812 to thee: cursedH779 be every one that cursethH779 thee, and blessedH1288 be he that blessethH1288 thee.
And it came to pass, as soon as IsaacH3327 had made an endH3615 of blessingH1288 JacobH3290, and JacobH3290 was yetH389 scarceH3318 gone outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1, that EsauH6215 his brotherH251 came inH935 from his huntingH6718.
And he also had madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, and brought itH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Let my fatherH1 ariseH6965, and eatH398 of his son'sH1121 venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 saidH559 unto him, Who art thou? And he saidH559, I am thy sonH1121, thy firstbornH1060 EsauH6215.
And IsaacH3327 trembledH2729 veryH1419 exceedinglyH3966+H2731, and saidH559, Who? whereH645 is he that hath takenH6679 venisonH6718, and broughtH935 it me, and I have eatenH398 of all before thou camestH935, and have blessedH1288 him? yea, and he shall be blessedH1288. {trembled…: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly} {taken: Heb. hunted}
And when EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, he criedH6817 with a greatH1419 and exceedingH3966 bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, BlessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1.
And he saidH559, Thy brotherH251 cameH935 with subtiltyH4820, and hath taken awayH3947 thy blessingH1293.
And he saidH559, Is not he rightlyH3588 namedH7121+H8034 JacobH3290? for he hath supplanted meH6117 theseH2088 two timesH6471: he took awayH3947 my birthrightH1062; and, behold, now he hath taken awayH3947 my blessingH1293. And he saidH559, Hast thou not reservedH680 a blessingH1293 for me? {Jacob: that is, A supplanter}
And IsaacH3327 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EsauH6215, Behold, I have madeH7760 him thy lordH1376, and all his brethrenH251 have I givenH5414 to him for servantsH5650; and with cornH1715 and wineH8492 have I sustainedH5564 him: and what shall I doH6213 nowH645 unto thee, my sonH1121? {sustained: or, supported}
And EsauH6215 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Hast thou but oneH259 blessingH1293, my fatherH1? blessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1. And EsauH6215 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy dwellingH4186 shall be the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from aboveH5920; {the fatness: or, of the fatness}
And by thy swordH2719 shalt thou liveH2421, and shalt serveH5647 thy brotherH251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominionH7300, that thou shalt breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677.
And EsauH6215 hatedH7852 JacobH3290 becauseH5921 of the blessingH1293 wherewithH834 his fatherH1 blessed himH1288: and EsauH6215 saidH559 in his heartH3820, The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are at handH7126; then will I slayH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290.
And these wordsH1697 of EsauH6215 her elderH1419 sonH1121 were toldH5046 to RebekahH7259: and she sentH7971 and calledH7121 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, as touching thee, doth comfortH5162 himself, purposing to killH2026 thee.
Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963; and ariseH6965, fleeH1272 thou to LabanH3837 my brotherH251 to HaranH2771;
And tarryH3427 with him a fewH259 daysH3117, untilH834 thy brother'sH251 furyH2534 turn awayH7725;
Until thy brother'sH251 angerH639 turn awayH7725 from thee, and he forgetH7911 that which thou hast doneH6213 to him: then I will sendH7971, and fetchH3947 thee from thence: whyH4100 should I be deprivedH7921 also of you bothH8147 in oneH259 dayH3117?
And RebekahH7259 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, I am wearyH6973 of my lifeH2416 becauseH6440 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845: if JacobH3290 takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845, such as these which are of the daughtersH1323 of the landH776, what goodH4100 shall my lifeH2416 do me?
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
And IsaacH3327 calledH7121 JacobH3290, and blessedH1288 him, and chargedH6680 him, and saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667.
AriseH6965, goH3212 to PadanaramH6307, to the houseH1004 of BethuelH1328 thy mother'sH517 fatherH1; and takeH3947 thee a wifeH802 from thence of the daughtersH1323 of LabanH3837 thy mother'sH517 brotherH251.
And GodH410 AlmightyH7706 blessH1288 thee, and make thee fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 thee, that thou mayest be a multitudeH6951 of peopleH5971; {a multitude…: Heb. an assembly of people}
And giveH5414 thee the blessingH1293 of AbrahamH85, to thee, and to thy seedH2233 with thee; that thou mayest inheritH3423 the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, which GodH430 gaveH5414 unto AbrahamH85. {wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And IsaacH3327 sent awayH7971 JacobH3290: and he wentH3212 to PadanaramH6307 unto LabanH3837, sonH1121 of BethuelH1328 the SyrianH761, the brotherH251 of RebekahH7259, Jacob'sH3290 and Esau'sH6215 motherH517.
When EsauH6215 sawH7200 that IsaacH3327 had blessedH1288 JacobH3290, and sent him awayH7971 to PadanaramH6307, to takeH3947 him a wifeH802 from thence; and that as he blessedH1288 him he gave him a chargeH6680, sayingH559, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667;
And that JacobH3290 obeyedH8085 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and was goneH3212 to PadanaramH6307;
And EsauH6215 seeingH7200 that the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667 pleasedH5869 notH7451 IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; {pleased…: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc}
Then wentH3212 EsauH6215 unto IshmaelH3458, and tookH3947 unto the wivesH802 which he had MahalathH4258 the daughterH1323 of IshmaelH3458 Abraham'sH85 sonH1121, the sisterH269 of NebajothH5032, to be his wifeH802. {Mahalath: or, Bashemath}
And JacobH3290 went outH3318 from BeershebaH884, and wentH3212 toward HaranH2771. {Haran: Gr. Charran}
And he lightedH6293 upon a certain placeH4725, and tarried there all nightH3885, because the sunH8121 was setH935; and he tookH3947 of the stonesH68 of that placeH4725, and putH7760 them for his pillowsH4763, and lay downH7901 in that placeH4725 to sleepH7901.
And he dreamedH2492, and behold a ladderH5551 set upH5324 on the earthH776, and the top of itH7218 reachedH5060 to heavenH8064: and behold the angelsH4397 of GodH430 ascendingH5927 and descendingH3381 on it.
And, behold, the LORDH3068 stoodH5324 above it, and saidH559, I am the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1, and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 whereon thou liestH7901, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233;
And thy seedH2233 shall be as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spread abroadH6555 to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. {spread…: Heb. break forth}
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keepH8104 thee in all places whitherH834 thou goestH3212, and will bring thee againH7725 into this landH127; for I will not leaveH5800 thee, untilH834 I have doneH6213 that which I have spokenH1696 to thee of.
And JacobH3290 awakedH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and he saidH559, SurelyH403 the LORDH3068 isH3426 in this placeH4725; and I knewH3045 it not.
And he was afraidH3372, and saidH559, How dreadfulH3372 is this placeH4725! this is none other but the houseH1004 of GodH430, and this is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064.
And JacobH3290 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 the stoneH68 that he had putH7760 for his pillowsH4763, and set it upH7760 for a pillarH4676, and pouredH3332 oilH8081 upon the top of itH7218.
And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 BethelH1008: butH199 the nameH8034 of that cityH5892 was called LuzH3870 at the firstH7223. {Bethel: that is, The house of God}
And JacobH3290 vowedH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, If GodH430 will be with me, and will keep meH8104 in this wayH1870 that I goH1980, and will giveH5414 me breadH3899 to eatH398, and raimentH899 to put onH3847,
So that I come againH7725 to my father'sH1 houseH1004 in peaceH7965; then shall the LORDH3068 be my GodH430:
And this stoneH68, which I have setH7760 for a pillarH4676, shall be God'sH430 houseH1004: and of all that thou shalt giveH5414 me I will surelyH6237 give the tenthH6237 unto thee.
And he went inH935 also unto RachelH7354, and he lovedH157 also RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812, and servedH5647 with him yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that LeahH3812 was hatedH8130, he openedH6605 her wombH7358: but RachelH7354 was barrenH6135.
And JacobH3290 wentH1980 on his wayH1870, and the angelsH4397 of GodH430 metH6293 him.
And when JacobH3290 saw themH7200, he saidH559, This is God'sH430 hostH4264: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 MahanaimH4266. {Mahanaim: that is, Two hosts, or, camps}
And JacobH3290 sentH7971 messengersH4397 before himH6440 to EsauH6215 his brotherH251 unto the landH776 of SeirH8165, the countryH7704 of EdomH123. {country: Heb. field}
And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, Thus shall ye speakH559 unto my lordH113 EsauH6215; Thy servantH5650 JacobH3290 saithH559 thus, I have sojournedH1481 with LabanH3837, and stayed thereH309 until now:
And I have oxenH7794, and assesH2543, flocksH6629, and menservantsH5650, and womenservantsH8198: and I have sentH7971 to tellH5046 my lordH113, that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869.
And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 to JacobH3290, sayingH559, We cameH935 to thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, and also he comethH1980 to meet theeH7125, and four hundredH3967 menH376 with him.
Then JacobH3290 was greatlyH3966 afraidH3372 and distressedH3334: and he dividedH2673 the peopleH5971 that was with him, and the flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and the camelsH1581, into twoH8147 bandsH4264;
And saidH559, If EsauH6215 comeH935 to the oneH259 companyH4264, and smite itH5221, then the other companyH4264 which is leftH7604 shall escapeH6413.
And JacobH3290 saidH559, O GodH430 of my fatherH1 AbrahamH85, and GodH430 of my fatherH1 IsaacH3327, the LORDH3068 which saidstH559 unto me, ReturnH7725 unto thy countryH776, and to thy kindredH4138, and I will deal wellH3190 with thee:
I am not worthy of the leastH6994 of all the merciesH2617, and of all the truthH571, which thou hast shewedH6213 unto thy servantH5650; for with my staffH4731 I passed overH5674 this JordanH3383; and now I am become twoH8147 bandsH4264. {I am not…: Heb. I am less than all}
Deliver meH5337, I pray thee, from the handH3027 of my brotherH251, from the handH3027 of EsauH6215: for I fearH3373 him, lest he will comeH935 and smite meH5221, and the motherH517 withH5921 the childrenH1121. {with: Heb. upon}
And thou saidstH559, I will surelyH3190 do thee goodH3190, and makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, which cannot be numberedH5608 for multitudeH7230.
And he lodgedH3885 there that same nightH3915; and tookH3947 of that which cameH935 to his handH3027 a presentH4503 for EsauH6215 his brotherH251;
Two hundredH3967 she goatsH5795, and twentyH6242 he goatsH8495, two hundredH3967 ewesH7353, and twentyH6242 ramsH352,
ThirtyH7970 milchH3243 camelsH1581 with their coltsH1121, fortyH705 kineH6510, and tenH6235 bullsH6499, twentyH6242 she assesH860, and tenH6235 foalsH5895.
And he deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650, every droveH5739 by themselves; and saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Pass overH5674 before meH6440, and putH7760 a spaceH7305 betwixtH996 droveH5739 andH996 droveH5739.
And he commandedH6680 the foremostH7223, sayingH559, When EsauH6215 my brotherH251 meeteth theeH6298, and asketh theeH7592, sayingH559, Whose art thou? and whither goestH3212 thou? and whose are these beforeH6440 thee?
Then thou shalt sayH559, They be thy servantH5650 Jacob'sH3290; it is a presentH4503 sentH7971 unto my lordH113 EsauH6215: and, behold, also he is behind usH310.
And soH1571 commanded heH6680 the secondH8145, and the thirdH7992, and all that followedH1980+H310 the drovesH5739, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 shall ye speakH1696 unto EsauH6215, when ye findH4672 him.
And say yeH559 moreoverH1571, Behold, thy servantH5650 JacobH3290 is behind usH310. For he saidH559, I will appeaseH3722 himH6440 with the presentH4503 that goethH1980 before meH6440, and afterwardH310 I will seeH7200 his faceH6440; peradventure he will acceptH5375 of meH6440. {of me: Heb. my face}
So wentH5674 the presentH4503 overH5674 before himH6440: and himself lodgedH3885 that nightH3915 in the companyH4264.
And he rose upH6965 that nightH3915, and tookH3947 his twoH8147 wivesH802, and his twoH8147 womenservantsH8198, and his elevenH6240+H259 sonsH3206, and passed overH5674 the fordH4569 JabbokH2999.
And he took themH3947, and sent them overH5674 the brookH5158, and sent overH5674 that he had. {sent them: Heb. caused to pass}
And JacobH3290 was leftH3498 alone; and there wrestledH79 a manH376 with him until the breakingH5927 of the dayH7837. {breaking…: Heb. ascending of the morning}
And when he sawH7200 that he prevailedH3201 not against him, he touchedH5060 the hollow of his thighH3409; and the hollowH3709 of Jacob'sH3290 thighH3409 was out of jointH3363, as he wrestledH79 with him.
And he saidH559, Let me goH7971, for the dayH7837 breakethH5927. And he saidH559, I will not let thee goH7971, exceptH518 thou blessH1288 me.
And he saidH559 unto him, What is thy nameH8034? And he saidH559, JacobH3290.
And he saidH559, Thy nameH8034 shall be calledH559 no more JacobH3290, but IsraelH3478: for as a prince hast thou powerH8280 with GodH430 and with menH582, and hast prevailedH3201. {Israel: that is, A prince of God}
And JacobH3290 askedH7592 him, and saidH559, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, thy nameH8034. And he saidH559, Wherefore is itH2088 that thou dost askH7592 after my nameH8034? And he blessedH1288 him there.
And JacobH3290 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 PenielH6439: for I have seenH7200 GodH430 faceH6440 to faceH6440, and my lifeH5315 is preservedH5337. {Peniel: that is, The face of God}
And as he passed overH5674 PenuelH6439 the sunH8121 roseH2224 upon him, and he haltedH6760 upon his thighH3409.
Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 eatH398 not of the sinewH1517 which shrankH5384, which is upon the hollowH3709 of the thighH3409, unto this dayH3117: because he touchedH5060 the hollowH3709 of Jacob'sH3290 thighH3409 in the sinewH1517 that shrankH5384.
And JacobH3290 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, EsauH6215 cameH935, and with him fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. And he dividedH2673 the childrenH3206 unto LeahH3812, and unto RachelH7354, and unto the twoH8147 handmaidsH8198.
And he putH7760 the handmaidsH8198 and their childrenH3206 foremostH7223, and LeahH3812 and her childrenH3206 afterH314, and RachelH7354 and JosephH3130 hindermostH314.
And he passed overH5674 before themH6440, and bowed himselfH7812 to the groundH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471, until he came nearH5066 to his brotherH251.
And EsauH6215 ranH7323 to meet himH7125, and embracedH2263 him, and fellH5307 on his neckH6677, and kissed himH5401: and they weptH1058.
And he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206; and saidH559, Who are thoseH428 with thee? And he saidH559, The childrenH3206 which GodH430 hath graciously givenH2603 thy servantH5650. {with…: Heb. to thee}
Then the handmaidensH8198 came nearH5066, they and their childrenH3206, and they bowed themselvesH7812.
And LeahH3812 also with her childrenH3206 came nearH5066, and bowed themselvesH7812: and afterH310 cameH5066 JosephH3130 nearH5066 and RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812 themselves.
And he saidH559, What meanest thou by all this droveH4264 which I metH6298? And he saidH559, These are to findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. {What…: Heb. What is all this band to thee?}
And EsauH6215 saidH559, I haveH3426 enoughH7227, my brotherH251; keep that thou hast unto thyself. {keep…: Heb. be that to thee that is thine}
And JacobH3290 saidH559, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then receiveH3947 my presentH4503 at my handH3027: for therefore I have seenH7200 thy faceH6440, as though I had seenH7200 the faceH6440 of GodH430, and thou wast pleased with meH7521.
TakeH3947, I pray thee, my blessingH1293 that is broughtH935 to thee; because GodH430 hath dealt graciously with meH2603, and becauseH3605 I haveH3426 enoughH3605. And he urgedH6484 him, and he tookH3947 it. {enough: Heb. all things}
And he saidH559, Let us take our journeyH5265, and let us goH3212, and I will goH3212 before thee.
And he saidH559 unto him, My lordH113 knowethH3045 that the childrenH3206 are tenderH7390, and the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 with youngH5763 are with me: and if men should overdriveH1849 them oneH259 dayH3117, all the flockH6629 will dieH4191.
Let my lordH113, I pray thee, pass overH5674 beforeH6440 his servantH5650: and I will lead onH5095 softlyH328, according asH7272 the cattleH4399 that goeth before meH6440 and the childrenH3206 be able to endureH7272, until I comeH935 unto my lordH113 unto SeirH8165. {according…: Heb. according to the foot of the work, etc., and according to the foot of the children}
And EsauH6215 saidH559, Let me now leaveH3322 with thee some of the folkH5971 that are with me. And he saidH559, WhatH4100 needeth it? let me findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. {leave: Heb. set, or, place} {What…: Heb. Wherefore is this?}
So EsauH6215 returnedH7725 that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 unto SeirH8165.
And JacobH3290 journeyedH5265 to SuccothH5523, and builtH1129 him an houseH1004, and madeH6213 boothsH5521 for his cattleH4735: therefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 SuccothH5523. {Succoth: that is, Booths}
And JacobH3290 cameH935 to ShalemH8004, a cityH5892 of ShechemH7927, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, when he cameH935 from PadanaramH6307; and pitched his tentH2583 beforeH6440 the cityH5892. {Shechem: Gr. Sychem}
And he boughtH7069 a parcelH2513 of a fieldH7704, where he had spreadH5186 his tentH168, at the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem'sH7927 fatherH1, for an hundredH3967 pieces of moneyH7192. {Hamor: Gr. Emmor} {pieces…: or, lambs}
And he erectedH5324 there an altarH4196, and called itH7121 Elelohe-IsraelH415. {Elelohe-Israel: that is God the God of Israel}
And JacobH3290 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, EsauH6215 cameH935, and with him fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. And he dividedH2673 the childrenH3206 unto LeahH3812, and unto RachelH7354, and unto the twoH8147 handmaidsH8198.
And he putH7760 the handmaidsH8198 and their childrenH3206 foremostH7223, and LeahH3812 and her childrenH3206 afterH314, and RachelH7354 and JosephH3130 hindermostH314.
And he passed overH5674 before themH6440, and bowed himselfH7812 to the groundH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471, until he came nearH5066 to his brotherH251.
And EsauH6215 ranH7323 to meet himH7125, and embracedH2263 him, and fellH5307 on his neckH6677, and kissed himH5401: and they weptH1058.
And he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206; and saidH559, Who are thoseH428 with thee? And he saidH559, The childrenH3206 which GodH430 hath graciously givenH2603 thy servantH5650. {with…: Heb. to thee}
Then the handmaidensH8198 came nearH5066, they and their childrenH3206, and they bowed themselvesH7812.
And LeahH3812 also with her childrenH3206 came nearH5066, and bowed themselvesH7812: and afterH310 cameH5066 JosephH3130 nearH5066 and RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812 themselves.
And he saidH559, What meanest thou by all this droveH4264 which I metH6298? And he saidH559, These are to findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. {What…: Heb. What is all this band to thee?}
And EsauH6215 saidH559, I haveH3426 enoughH7227, my brotherH251; keep that thou hast unto thyself. {keep…: Heb. be that to thee that is thine}
And JacobH3290 saidH559, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then receiveH3947 my presentH4503 at my handH3027: for therefore I have seenH7200 thy faceH6440, as though I had seenH7200 the faceH6440 of GodH430, and thou wast pleased with meH7521.
TakeH3947, I pray thee, my blessingH1293 that is broughtH935 to thee; because GodH430 hath dealt graciously with meH2603, and becauseH3605 I haveH3426 enoughH3605. And he urgedH6484 him, and he tookH3947 it. {enough: Heb. all things}
And he saidH559, Let us take our journeyH5265, and let us goH3212, and I will goH3212 before thee.
And he saidH559 unto him, My lordH113 knowethH3045 that the childrenH3206 are tenderH7390, and the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 with youngH5763 are with me: and if men should overdriveH1849 them oneH259 dayH3117, all the flockH6629 will dieH4191.
Let my lordH113, I pray thee, pass overH5674 beforeH6440 his servantH5650: and I will lead onH5095 softlyH328, according asH7272 the cattleH4399 that goeth before meH6440 and the childrenH3206 be able to endureH7272, until I comeH935 unto my lordH113 unto SeirH8165. {according…: Heb. according to the foot of the work, etc., and according to the foot of the children}
And EsauH6215 saidH559, Let me now leaveH3322 with thee some of the folkH5971 that are with me. And he saidH559, WhatH4100 needeth it? let me findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. {leave: Heb. set, or, place} {What…: Heb. Wherefore is this?}
So EsauH6215 returnedH7725 that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 unto SeirH8165.
And JacobH3290 journeyedH5265 to SuccothH5523, and builtH1129 him an houseH1004, and madeH6213 boothsH5521 for his cattleH4735: therefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 SuccothH5523. {Succoth: that is, Booths}
And JacobH3290 cameH935 to ShalemH8004, a cityH5892 of ShechemH7927, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, when he cameH935 from PadanaramH6307; and pitched his tentH2583 beforeH6440 the cityH5892. {Shechem: Gr. Sychem}
And he boughtH7069 a parcelH2513 of a fieldH7704, where he had spreadH5186 his tentH168, at the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem'sH7927 fatherH1, for an hundredH3967 pieces of moneyH7192. {Hamor: Gr. Emmor} {pieces…: or, lambs}
And he erectedH5324 there an altarH4196, and called itH7121 Elelohe-IsraelH415. {Elelohe-Israel: that is God the God of Israel}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, AriseH6965, go upH5927 to BethelH1008, and dwellH3427 there: and makeH6213 there an altarH4196 unto GodH410, that appearedH7200 unto thee when thou fleddestH1272 from the faceH6440 of EsauH6215 thy brotherH251.
Then JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his householdH1004, and to all that were with him, Put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 that are among youH8432, and be cleanH2891, and changeH2498 your garmentsH8071:
And let us ariseH6965, and go upH5927 to BethelH1008; and I will makeH6213 there an altarH4196 unto GodH410, who answeredH6030 me in the dayH3117 of my distressH6869, and was with me in the wayH1870 which I wentH1980.
And they gaveH5414 unto JacobH3290 all the strangeH5236 godsH430 which were in their handH3027, and all their earringsH5141 which were in their earsH241; and JacobH3290 hidH2934 them under the oakH424 which was by ShechemH7927.
And they journeyedH5265: and the terrorH2847 of GodH430 was upon the citiesH5892 that were round aboutH5439 them, and they did not pursueH7291 afterH310 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290.
So JacobH3290 cameH935 to LuzH3870, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, that is, BethelH1008, he and all the peopleH5971 that were with him.
And he builtH1129 there an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the placeH4725 ElbethelH416: because there GodH430 appearedH1540 unto him, when he fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of his brotherH251. {Elbethel: that is, The God of Bethel}
But DeborahH1683 Rebekah'sH7259 nurseH3243 diedH4191, and she was buriedH6912 beneath BethelH1008 under an oakH437: and the nameH8034 of it was calledH7121 AllonbachuthH439. {Allonbachuth: that is, The oak of weeping}
And GodH430 appearedH7200 unto JacobH3290 again, when he cameH935 out of PadanaramH6307, and blessedH1288 him.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, Thy nameH8034 is JacobH3290: thy nameH8034 shall not be calledH7121 any more JacobH3290, but IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034: and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 IsraelH3478.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, I am GodH410 AlmightyH7706: be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235; a nationH1471 and a companyH6951 of nationsH1471 shall be of thee, and kingsH4428 shall comeH3318 out of thy loinsH2504;
And the landH776 which I gaveH5414 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327, to thee I will give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310 will I giveH5414 the landH776.
And GodH430 went upH5927 from him in the placeH4725 where he talkedH1696 with him.
And JacobH3290 set upH5324 a pillarH4676 in the placeH4725 where he talkedH1696 with him, even a pillarH4678 of stoneH68: and he pouredH5258 a drink offeringH5262 thereon, and he pouredH3332 oilH8081 thereon.
And JacobH3290 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 where GodH430 spakeH1696 with him, BethelH1008.
And they journeyedH5265 from BethelH1008; and there was butH5750 a littleH3530 wayH776 to comeH935 to EphrathH672: and RachelH7354 travailedH3205, and she had hardH7185 labourH3205. {a little…: Heb. a little piece of ground}
And it came to pass, when she was in hardH7185 labourH3205, that the midwifeH3205 saidH559 unto her, FearH3372 not; thou shalt have this sonH1121 also.
And it came to pass, as her soulH5315 was in departingH3318, (for she diedH4191) that she calledH7121 his nameH8034 BenoniH1126: but his fatherH1 calledH7121 him BenjaminH1144. {Benoni: that is, The son of my sorrow} {Benjamin: that is, The son of the right hand}
And RachelH7354 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the wayH1870 to EphrathH672, which is BethlehemH1035.
And JacobH3290 setH5324 a pillarH4676 upon her graveH6900: that is the pillarH4678 of Rachel'sH7354 graveH6900 unto this dayH3117.
And IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and spreadH5186 his tentH168 beyondH1973 the towerH4026 of EdarH4029.
And it came to pass, when IsraelH3478 dweltH7931 in that landH776, that ReubenH7205 wentH3212 and layH7901 with BilhahH1090 his father'sH1 concubineH6370: and IsraelH3478 heardH8085 it. Now the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 were twelveH8147+H6240:
The sonsH1121 of LeahH3812; ReubenH7205, Jacob'sH3290 firstbornH1060, and SimeonH8095, and LeviH3878, and JudahH3063, and IssacharH3485, and ZebulunH2074:
The sonsH1121 of RachelH7354; JosephH3130, and BenjaminH1144:
And the sonsH1121 of BilhahH1090, Rachel'sH7354 handmaidH8198; DanH1835, and NaphtaliH5321:
And the sonsH1121 of ZilpahH2153, Leah'sH3812 handmaidH8198; GadH1410, and AsherH836: these are the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, which were bornH3205 to him in PadanaramH6307.
And JacobH3290 cameH935 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 unto MamreH4471, unto the city of ArbahH7153, which is HebronH2275, where AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 sojournedH1481.
And the daysH3117 of IsaacH3327 were an hundredH3967+H8141 and fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141.
And IsaacH3327 gave up the ghostH1478, and diedH4191, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971, being oldH2205 and fullH7649 of daysH3117: and his sonsH1121 EsauH6215 and JacobH3290 buriedH6912 him.
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.
By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was a dyingG599, blessedG2127 bothG1538 the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; andG2532 worshippedG4352, leaning uponG1909 the topG206 of hisG846 staffG4464.
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.
And JacobH3290 calledH7121 unto his sonsH1121, and saidH559, Gather yourselves togetherH622, that I may tellH5046 you that which shall befallH7122 you in the lastH319 daysH3117.
Gather yourselves togetherH6908, and hearH8085, ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290; and hearkenH8085 unto IsraelH3478 your fatherH1.
ReubenH7205, thou art my firstbornH1060, my mightH3581, and the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, the excellencyH3499 of dignityH7613, and the excellencyH3499 of powerH5794:
UnstableH6349 as waterH4325, thou shalt not excelH3498; because thou wentest upH5927 to thy father'sH1 bedH4904; then defiledst thouH2490 it: he went upH5927 to my couchH3326. {thou shalt…: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went…: or, my couch is gone}
SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brethrenH251; instrumentsH3627 of crueltyH2555 are in their habitationsH4380. {instruments…: or, their swords are weapons of violence}
O my soulH5315, comeH935 not thou into their secretH5475; unto their assemblyH6951, mine honourH3519, be not thou unitedH3161: for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a manH376, and in their selfwillH7522 they digged downH6131 a wallH7794. {digged…: or, houghed oxen}
CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it was fierceH5794; and their wrathH5678, for it was cruelH7185: I will divideH2505 them in JacobH3290, and scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
JudahH3063, thou art he whom thy brethrenH251 shall praiseH3034: thy handH3027 shall be in the neckH6203 of thine enemiesH341; thy father'sH1 childrenH1121 shall bow downH7812 before thee.
JudahH3063 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: from the preyH2964, my sonH1121, thou art gone upH5927: he stooped downH3766, he couchedH7257 as a lionH738, and as an old lionH3833; who shall rouse him upH6965?
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
BindingH631 his foalH5895 unto the vineH1612, and his ass'sH860 coltH1121 unto the choice vineH8321; he washedH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wineH3196, and his clothesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapesH6025:
His eyesH5869 shall be redH2447 with wineH3196, and his teethH8127 whiteH3836 with milkH2461.
ZebulunH2074 shall dwellH7931 at the havenH2348 of the seaH3220; and he shall be for an havenH2348 of shipsH591; and his borderH3411 shall be unto ZidonH6721.
IssacharH3485 is a strongH1634 assH2543 couching downH7257 between two burdensH4942:
And he sawH7200 that restH4496 was goodH2896, and the landH776 that it was pleasantH5276; and bowedH5186 his shoulderH7926 to bearH5445, and became a servantH5647 unto tributeH4522.
DanH1835 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, as oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
DanH1835 shall be a serpentH5175 by the wayH1870, an adderH8207 in the pathH734, that bitethH5391 the horseH5483 heelsH6119, so that his riderH7392 shall fallH5307 backwardH268. {an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}
I have waited forH6960 thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068.
GadH1410, a troopH1416 shall overcomeH1464 him: but he shall overcomeH1464 at the lastH6119.
Out of AsherH836 his breadH3899 shall be fatH8082, and he shall yieldH5414 royalH4428 daintiesH4574.
NaphtaliH5321 is a hindH355 let looseH7971: he givethH5414 goodlyH8233 wordsH561.
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.
BenjaminH1144 shall ravinH2963 as a wolfH2061: in the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the preyH5706, and at nightH6153 he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.

In the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, which is beforeH6440 MamreH4471, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913.
There they buriedH6912 AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 his wifeH802; there they buriedH6912 IsaacH3327 and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802; and there I buriedH6912 LeahH3812.

And when JacobH3290 had made an endH3615 of commandingH6680 his sonsH1121, he gathered upH622 his feetH7272 into the bedH4296, and yielded up the ghostH1478, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971.
