God has showed me your seed also. ¹² And Joseph brought them out from [between] his knees, and they did reverence to him, with their face to the ground. ¹³ And Joseph took his two sons, both Ephraim in his right hand, but on the left of Israel, and Manasse on his left hand, but on the right of Israel, and brought them near to him. ¹⁴ But Israel having stretched out his right hand, laid it on the head of Ephraim, and he was the younger; and his left hand on the head of Manasse, [guiding] his hands crosswise. ¹⁵ And he blessed them and said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, [even] Abraam and Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until this day; ¹⁶ the angel who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraam and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on the earth. ¹⁷ And Joseph having seen that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim—it seemed grievous to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his father, to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasse. ¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the firstborn; lay your right-hand upon his head. ¹⁹ And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make you as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse. ²¹ And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God shall be with you, and restore you to the land of your fathers. ²² And I give to you Sicima, a select portion above your brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and bow.

²² Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me. ²³ Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached [him], and the archers pressed hard upon him. ²⁴ But their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of your father; ²⁵ and my God helped you, and he blessed you with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb, ²⁶ the blessings of your father and your mother—it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead.

¹³ And to Joseph he said, His land [is] of the blessing of the Lord, of the seasons of sky and dew, and of the deeps of wells below, ¹⁴ and of the fruits of the changes of the sun in season, and of the produce of the months, ¹⁵ from the top of the ancient mountains, and from the top of the everlasting hills, ¹⁶ and of the fullness of the land in season: and let the things pleasing to him that lived in the bush come on the head of Joseph, and on the crown [of him who was] glorified above his brethren. ¹⁷ His beauty [is as] the firstling of his bull, his horns [are] the horns of a unicorn; with them he shall thrust the nations at once, even from the end of the earth: these [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these [are] the thousands of Manasse.

¹⁶ Son of man, take for yourself a rod, and write upon it, Juda, and the children of Israel his adherents; and you shall take for yourself another rod, and you shall inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.

³³ And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.

⁶ And Abraam said to him, Take heed to yourself that you carry not my son back there. ⁷ The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to you and to your seed, he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from thence.

⁵⁴ And both he and the men with him ate and drank and went to sleep. And he arose in the morning and said, Send me away, that I may go to my master.

⁵⁶ But he said to them, Hinder me not, for the Lord has prospered my journey for me; send me away, that I may depart to my master.

³ And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.

⁴⁴ And dwell with him certain days, until your brother's anger ⁴⁵ and rage depart from you, and he forget what you have done to him; and I will send and fetch you thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.

¹³ And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.

¹⁵ And behold I am with you to preserve you continually in all the way wherein you shall go; and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not desert you, until I have done all that I have said to you.

¹³ I am God that appeared to you in the place of God where you anointed a pillar to me, and vowed to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of your nativity, and I will be with you.

⁵⁵ And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.

¹⁹ And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me. ²⁰ And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.

³⁰ And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.

²⁹ And Jacob said, You know in what things I have served you, and how many cattle of your are with me. ³⁰ For it was little you had before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed you since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?

⁶ And you⌃ too know that with all my might I have served your father.

²⁶ And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done? therefore did you run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?

³¹ And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time you should take away your daughters from me, and all my possessions.

³⁸ These twenty years have I been with you; your sheep, and your she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of your cattle. ³⁹ That which was taken of beasts I brought not to you; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night. ⁴⁰ I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes. ⁴¹ These twenty years have I been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years among your sheep, and you did falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.

¹² And Jacob retreated into the plain of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and waited for a wife.

³ And I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you, and in you shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

³ And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in your sight, pass not by your servant.

²⁴ And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.

³⁰ For it was little you had before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed you since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?

¹⁵ And Esau said, I will leave with you some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favor before you, [my] lord.

¹¹ And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever you⌃ shall name.

² And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian. ³ And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do. ⁴ And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph. ⁵ And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.

²⁵ And they said, You have saved us; we have found favor before our lord, and we will be servants to Pharao.

²¹ And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and whenever you⌃ shall escape, you⌃ shall not depart empty.

¹¹ And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you afflicted your servant, and why have I not found grace in your sight, that you should lay the weight of this people upon me?

¹³ And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, and behold, I shall be as one of your servants.

²² And Saul sent to Jessae, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.

¹⁹ And Ader found great favor in the sight of Pharao, and he gave him his wife's sister in marriage, the elder sister of Thekemina.

¹¹ [Turn] not [away], I pray you, O Lord, but let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who desire to fear your name: and prosper, I pray you, your servant this day, and cause him to find mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was the king's cupbearer.

⁵ And I said to the king, If [it seem] good to the king, and if your servant shall have found favor in your sight, [I ask] that [you] would send him into Juda, to the city of the sepulchres of my fathers; then will I rebuild it.

³ And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatever he shall do shall be prospered.

¹³ And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.

⁹ And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: every one that sees them shall take notice of them, that they are a seed blessed of God;

⁸ Thus says the Lord, As a grape-stone shall be found in the cluster, and they shall say, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for the sake of him that serves me, for his sake I will not destroy [them] all.

⁹ Now God [had] brought Daniel into favor and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.

¹⁵ And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.

¹⁹ And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.

⁵ And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

³⁸ These twenty years have I been with you; your sheep, and your she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of your cattle. ³⁹ That which was taken of beasts I brought not to you; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night. ⁴⁰ I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

¹⁰ For the land into which you go to inherit it, is not as the land of Egypt, whence you⌃ came out, whenever they sow the seed, and water it with their feet, as a garden of herbs:

⁴ And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel. ⁵ And he said, What say you⌃? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel. ⁶ Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them].

⁸ I will keep your ordinances: O forsake me not greatly.

³⁵ And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey among the rams, and every one that was white among them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons.

⁸ If he should say thus, The speckled shall be your reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be your reward, then would all the cattle bear white.

¹⁰ And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I [*]saw with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots.

³⁷ and that you have searched all the furniture of my house? what have you found of all the furniture of your house? set it here between your relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.

¹⁴ And if your son should ask you hereafter, saying, What is this? then you shall say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

²³ And the Lord shall recompense each according to his righteousness and his truth, since the Lord delivered you this day into my hands, and I would not lift my hand against the Lord's anointed.

²¹ And the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands did he recompense me.

⁶ I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.

¹² For our iniquity is great before you, and our sins have risen up against us: for our iniquities are in us, and we know our unrighteous deeds.

²⁹ And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me; and if I [had] had a sword in my hand, I would now have killed you.

⁹ So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

⁹ So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me. ¹⁰ And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I [*]saw with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots. ¹¹ And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it? ¹² And he said, Look up with your eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to you. ¹³ I am God that appeared to you in the place of God where you anointed a pillar to me, and vowed to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of your nativity, and I will be with you.

⁸ And such cypresses [as this] were in the paradise of God; and there were no pines like his shoots, and there were no firs like his branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty, ⁹ So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me. ¹⁰ And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I [*]saw with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots. ¹¹ And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it? ¹² And he said, Look up with your eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to you.

³⁸ These twenty years have I been with you; your sheep, and your she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of your cattle.

⁴⁰ I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

⁴² Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now you would have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you yesterday.

³⁵ And the children of Israel did as Moses commanded them, and they asked of the Egyptians articles of silver and gold and apparel. ³⁶ And the Lord gave his people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they lent to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.

¹⁶ And they treated Abram well on her account, and he had sheep, and calves, and asses, and menservants, and women-servants, and mules, and camels.

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

³⁵ and the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is exalted, and he has given him sheep, and calves, and silver, and gold, servants and servant-maids, camels, and asses.

¹³ And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great. ¹⁴ And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.

⁷ But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me. ⁸ If he should say thus, The speckled shall be your reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be your reward, then would all the cattle bear white.

¹⁰ Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.

¹¹ Receive my blessings, which I have brought you, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].

⁷ For their substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojourning could not bear them, because of the abundance of their possessions.

⁷ I got servants and maidens, and servants were born to me in the house: also I had abundant possession of flocks and herds, beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem.

¹⁰ and they shall not take any wood out of the field, neither shall they cut any out of the forests, but they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and spoil those that spoiled them, says the Lord.
