According to the name of their brothers they shall be called in their inheritance. ⁷ And I, when I came from Padan, Rachel died on me in the land of Canaan in the way, with only a little way to come to Ephrath. And I buried her there in the way to Ephrath, it being Bethlehem. ⁸ And Israel saw the sons of Joseph, and he said, Who are these? ⁹ And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given to me here. And he said, Now bring them to me and I will bless them. ¹⁰ And the eyes of Israel were heavy from age, he not being able to see. And he brought them near to him. And he kissed them and embraced them. ¹¹ And Israel said to Joseph, I did not think to see your face, and, behold, God also causes me to see your seed. ¹² And Joseph brought them out from his knees; and he bowed his face to the earth. ¹³ And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim in his right hand, to the left of Israel; and Manasseh in his left hand, to the right of Israel. And he brought them to him. ¹⁴ And Israel sent forth his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim; and he was the younger. And he put his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands; for Manasseh was the first born. ¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me since I was born until today; ¹⁶ The Angel that redeemed me from every evil, may He bless the youths; and may my name be called on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they like the fishes increase into a multitude in the midst of the earth. ¹⁷ And Joseph saw that his father was putting his right hand on the head of Ephraim; and it was evil in his eyes. And he took hold of his father's hand to turn it from Ephraim's head to the head of Manasseh. ¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father! For this one is the first born; put your right hand on his head. ¹⁹ And his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know. He also shall be a people, and he shall become great. But his younger brother shall become greater than he, and his seed shall become the fullness of the nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel bless, saying, May God make you like Ephraim and like Manasseh. ²¹ And Israel said to Joseph, See, I am dying; and God will be with you, and will return you to the land of your fathers. ²² And I will give to you one spur of land beyond your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

²² Joseph is a fruitful son, a fruitful son by a spring; his branches run over a wall. ²³ And the masters of arrows harass him, and shoot, and an archer lurks for him. ²⁴ His bow abides in strength, and the hands of his arms are made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, from the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. ²⁵ From the God of your father, may He help you. And may the Almighty bless you with blessings of Heaven from above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and womb. ²⁶ The blessings of your father are above the blessings of my offspring, to the limit of everlasting hills; may they be for the head of Joseph and for the crown of the leader of his brothers.

¹³ And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Jehovah be his land, with the best of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep crouching beneath; ¹⁴ and with the best of the produce of the sun, and with the best yield of the months; ¹⁵ and with the first of the ancient mountains, and with the best of the everlasting hills; ¹⁶ and with the best of the earth, and its fullness; and the good will of Him who dwelt in the Bush; let it come on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the consecrated one of his brothers. ¹⁷ His glory is as the first-born of his ox, and the horns of the wild ox are his horns; with them he shall butt the peoples together to the ends of the earth. And they are the myriads of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

¹⁶ saying, And you, son of man, take one stick to yourself and write on it, For Judah, and for his companions, the sons of Israel. And take another stick and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.

⁹ And being jealous of Joseph, the patriarchs sold him into Egypt. But God was with him, ¹⁰ and plucked him out from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh appointed him governor over Egypt and all his household. ¹¹ But a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. And our fathers did not find food. ¹² But hearing grain was in Egypt, Jacob sent our fathers out first. ¹³ And at the second time, Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's race became known to Pharaoh. ¹⁴ And sending, Joseph called his father Jacob and all his kindred, "seventy five" "souls" "in all ". Gen. 46:27 ¹⁵ And Jacob went down into Egypt and expired, he and our fathers.

²¹ By faith dying Jacob blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and "worshiped on the top of his staff." LXX-47:31 ²² Dying Joseph by faith made mention of the Exodus of the sons of Israel, and he gave orders concerning his bones.

⁸ Out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand having been sealed. Out of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand having been sealed. Out of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand having been sealed.

³³ And when Jehovah had finished speaking to Abraham, then Abraham returned to his place.

⁶ And Abraham said to him, Take heed for yourself that you not take my son back there. ⁷ Jehovah, God of Heaven, who took me from the house of my father and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to your Seed; He shall send His Angel before you, and you shall take a wife from there for my son.

⁵⁴ And they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him; and they stayed the night. And they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.

⁵⁶ And he said to them, Do not delay me, for Jehovah has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.

³ Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and to your seed I will give all these lands. And I will cause to rise My oath which I swore to your father Abraham.

⁴⁴ And stay with him some days until your brother's fury turns away, ⁴⁵ until your brother's anger turns back from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. And I will send and take you from there. Why should I also be bereaved of two of you in one day?

¹³ And, behold, Jehovah stood above it and said, I am Jehovah the God of your father Abraham, and the God of Isaac; the land on which you are lying, I will give it to you and to your seed.

¹⁵ And, behold, I will be with you and will guard you in every place in which you may go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not forsake you until I have surely done that which I have spoken to you.

¹³ I am the God of Bethel, there where you anointed the pillar, where you vowed a vow to Me. Now rise up; go out of this land and go back to the land of your kindred.

⁵⁵ And Laban rose up early in the morning and kissed his sons and his daughters and blessed them. And Laban went away and returned to his on place.

⁴ Then going out from the land of the Chaldeans, he lived in Haran. And after his father died, God moved him from there into this land in which you now live. ⁵ And He did not give to him an inheritance in it, not even a foot breadth. And He promised to give it to him for a possession and to his seed after him, there being no child to him. Gen. 17:8

⁹ By faith he resided as a foreigner in a land of promise, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint-heirs of the same promise;

¹⁵ And truly if they remembered that from which they came out, they had time to return. ¹⁶ But now they stretch forth to a better, that is, a heavenly land . Therefore, God is not ashamed of them, for Him to be called their God; for He prepared a city for them.

¹⁹ And Laban said, It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; live with me. ²⁰ And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes like a few days, in that he loved her.

³⁰ And he also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet another seven years.

²⁹ And he said to him, You know how I have served you and what your livestock has become with me. ³⁰ For little was yours before my presence, and it has spread out into a host. And Jehovah has blessed you at my foot. And now when shall I work for my house, I also?

⁶ And you know that with all my power I have served your father.

²⁶ And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done? And you have deceived my heart and have taken my daughters like captives of the sword.

³¹ And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid. For I said, Lest by force you take your daughters from me.

³⁸ Now I was with you twenty years. Your ewes and your she-goats have not failed to bear, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock. ³⁹ I did not bring to you the mangled; I replaced it. From my hand you exacted it, that stolen by day and that stolen by night. ⁴⁰ I was there; by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night. And my sleep fled from my eyes. ⁴¹ Now I have been twenty years in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock. And you have changed my wages ten times.

¹² And Jacob fled into the field of Syria, and Israel served for a wife; yea, he shepherded for a wife.

³ And I will bless those who bless you, and curse the one despising you. And in you all families of the earth shall be blessed.

³ And he said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, I beg You, do not leave from near Your servant.

²⁴ And Jehovah appeared to him in the same night, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you; and I will bless you and increase your seed, because of My servant Abraham.

³⁰ For little was yours before my presence, and it has spread out into a host. And Jehovah has blessed you at my foot. And now when shall I work for my house, I also?

¹⁵ And Esau said, Please let me place with you some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why, then? Let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.

¹¹ And Shechem said to her father, and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what you say to me I will give.

² And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. And he was in the house of the Egyptian, his master. ³ And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and Joseph was prospering in his hand everything which he did. ⁴ And Joseph fond favor in his sight, and served him. And he appointed him over his house, and he gave all he owned into his hand. ⁵ And it came about that from the time he appointed him over his house and over all he owned, Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake. And the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.

²⁵ And they said, You have saved our lives; let us find favor in the eyes of my lord, and we will become slaves to Pharaoh.

²¹ And I will give this people favor in the eyes of Egypt; and it will come to pass, when you go, you will not go empty.

¹¹ And Moses said to Jehovah, Why have You done evil to Your servant; and why have I not found grace in Your eyes to put the burden of all this people on me?

¹³ And she said, Let me find grace in your eyes, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken to the heart of your handmaid. And I surely am not as one of your handmaids.

²² And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.

¹⁹ And Hadad found much favor in the eyes of Pharaoh, and he gave him a wife, the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

¹¹ O Lord, I beg You, let Your ear be open to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who delight to fear Your name. And I beg You, bless Your servant today and grant him mercy before this man. For I was cupbearer to the king.

⁵ and I said to the king, If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah to the city of my fathers' tombs, so that I might build it.

³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of waters, which will give its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf will not wither, and all which he does will prosper.

¹³ But yet a tenth shall be in it, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak that in being felled yet has its stump (the holy seed is its stump).

⁹ And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed that Jehovah has blessed.

⁸ So says Jehovah: As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it; so I will do for the sake of My servants, not to destroy the whole.

⁹ And God had given Daniel kindness and compassion before the chief of the eunuchs.

¹⁰ and plucked him out from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh appointed him governor over Egypt and all his household.

¹⁵ And Laban said to Jacob, are you not my brother? And should you serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall be your wages?

¹⁹ And Laban said, It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; live with me.

⁵ And Bilhah conceived and bore a son to Jacob.

³⁸ Now I was with you twenty years. Your ewes and your she-goats have not failed to bear, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock. ³⁹ I did not bring to you the mangled; I replaced it. From my hand you exacted it, that stolen by day and that stolen by night. ⁴⁰ I was there; by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night. And my sleep fled from my eyes.

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom his lord has set over his household, to give to them the food in season?

⁵ Slaves, obey your lords according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ; ⁶ not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the soul, ⁷ serving as slaves with good will to the Lord, and not as to men, ⁸ each one knowing that whatever good thing he does, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether a slave or a freeman.

²² Slaves, obey the lords according to flesh in all respects, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God. ²³ And whatever you may do, work from the soul as to the Lord and not to men, ²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance. For you serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵ But the one doing wrong will receive what he did wrong, and there is no respect of persons.

⁹ Let slaves be subject to their own masters, well-pleasing in all things, not speaking against them, ¹⁰ not stealing, but showing all good faith, that they may adorn the doctrine of our Savior God in all things.

¹⁵ because so is the will of God, doing good to silence the ignorance of foolish men;

¹⁸ Servants, be obedient to your masters in all fear, not only to those good and forbearing, but also to the perverse ones .

¹⁰ For the land to which you are going, to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from where you came, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs.

¹⁴ Behold, I am ready to come to you a third time . And I will not burden you, for I do not seek your things, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.

⁸ But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

⁴ And the Gibeonites said to him, We will have neither silver nor gold by Saul and by his house. Also, we will have no man in Israel put to death. And he said, What you say, I will do for you. ⁵ And they said to the king, The man who destroyed us and schemed against us that we be wasted from standing in all the border of Israel was Saul . ⁶ Let be given to us seven men of his sons to us. And we will expose them to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will deliver them.

⁸ It is better to trust in Jehovah than to trust in man;

⁵ Set your way of life without money-loving, being satisfied with present things; for He has said, "Not at all will I leave you, not at all will I forsake you," never! Deut. 31:6

³⁵ And he turned out in that day all the striped and spotted lambs, and all the speckled and spotted goats, every one which had white, and every black one among the lambs. And he gave them into the hands of his sons.

⁸ And if he said this: The speckled shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said this, The striped shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore striped.

¹⁰ And it happened at the time the flock was in heat, I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream: And behold! The ram leaping on the flock were striped, speckled, and spotted.

³⁷ For you have felt around all my articles; what have you found from all the articles of your house? Set it here before my brothers and your brothers and let them decide between the two of us.

¹⁴ And it shall be when your son asks you on the morrow, saying, What is this? You shall say to him, Jehovah brought us out from Egypt by the might of His hand, from the house of slaves.

²³ And Jehovah will return to each his righteousness and his faithfulness, in that Jehovah has delivered you into my hand, and I have not been willing to put forth my hand against the anointed of Jehovah.

²¹ Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands, He has repaid me.

⁶ And He will bring forth your righteousness like the light; and your judgment like the noon day.

¹² For our trespasses are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. For our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities;

²⁹ And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have insulted Me. if only there were a sword in my hand now I would kill you.

⁷ But I desire all men also to be as myself. But each has his own gift from God, one this way, and one that way.

⁵ And I wish all of you to speak in languages, but rather that you may prophesy. For the one prophesying is greater than the one speaking in tongues, unless he interpret that the church may receive building up.

¹² I would that the ones causing you to doubt will cut themselves off.

⁹ And God has taken away the livestock of your father and has given to me.

⁹ And God has taken away the livestock of your father and has given to me. ¹⁰ And it happened at the time the flock was in heat, I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream: And behold! The ram leaping on the flock were striped, speckled, and spotted. ¹¹ And the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Behold me. ¹² And He said, Lift up your eyes and see all the rams leaping on the flock; they are striped, speckled and spotted. For I have seen all that Laban is doing to you. ¹³ I am the God of Bethel, there where you anointed the pillar, where you vowed a vow to Me. Now rise up; go out of this land and go back to the land of your kindred.

⁸ The cedars did not overshadow him in the garden of God. The fir trees were not like his boughs, and the plane trees were not like his branches. Every tree in the garden of God was not like him in its beauty. ⁹ And God has taken away the livestock of your father and has given to me. ¹⁰ And it happened at the time the flock was in heat, I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream: And behold! The ram leaping on the flock were striped, speckled, and spotted. ¹¹ And the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Behold me. ¹² And He said, Lift up your eyes and see all the rams leaping on the flock; they are striped, speckled and spotted. For I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

³⁸ Now I was with you twenty years. Your ewes and your she-goats have not failed to bear, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock.

⁴⁰ I was there; by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night. And my sleep fled from my eyes.

⁴² Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, truly now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my palm, and last night He judged.

³⁵ And the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses. And they asked from the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing. ³⁶ And Jehovah gave favor to the people in the eyes of the Egyptians. And they granted their requests And they plundered Egypt.

¹⁶ And he did good to Abram because of her. And he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and male slaves, and slave-girls, and she-asses, and camels.

² And Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver and in gold.

³⁵ And Jehovah has blessed my master much, and he is great. And He has given to him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and male slaves and slave-girls, and camels and asses.

¹³ And the man grew great, and he went on, going on to be great, until he became exceedingly great. ¹⁴ And possessions of flocks and possessions of herds, and many slaves were his. And the Philistines envied him.

⁷ And your father has cheated me and has changed my wages ten times. And God has not let him do evil to me. ⁸ And if he said this: The speckled shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said this, The striped shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore striped.

¹⁰ I am not worthy of all the mercies and all the truth which You have done for Your servant, for I passed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies.

¹¹ Please take my blessing which has been brought to you, because God has favored me, and because I have all things. And he urged him; and he accepted.

⁷ For their possessions had become too great for them to dwell together. And the land was not able to bear their travels, because of their livestock.

⁷ I bought slaves and slave girls, and the sons of the house were mine. Also livestock, a herd and a great flock were mine, above all that were before me in Jerusalem.

¹⁰ And they shall not take wood out of the field and shall not cut down out of the forest. For they shall burn the weapons with fire. And they shall plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, declares the Lord Jehovah.
