¹⁹ Then Nabuchodonosor was filled with wrath, and the form of his countenance was changed toward Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and he gave orders to heat the furnace seven times [more than usual], until it should burn to the uttermost. ²⁰ And he commanded mighty men to bind Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace. ²¹ Then those men were bound with their coats, and caps, and hose, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace, ²² forasmuch as the king's word prevailed; and the furnace was made exceeding hot. ²³ Then these three men, Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell bound into the midst of the burning furnace, and walked in the midst of the flame, singing praise to God, and blessing the Lord.

¹⁹ and by reason of the majesty which he gave to him, all nations, tribes, [and] languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he killed; and whom he would he struck; and whom he would he exalted; and whom he would he abased.

⁷ And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are you⌃ come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food. ⁸ And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. ⁹ And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, You⌃ are spies; to observe the marks of the land are you⌃ come. ¹⁰ But they said, Nay, Sir, we your servants are come to buy food;

⁷ And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have you⌃ a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother?

²⁹ And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom you⌃ spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on you, my son.

¹⁸ And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.

³ And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colors.

¹⁹ And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes.

³³ And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days. ³⁴ And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. ³⁵ And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.

¹³ And they said, We your servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father today, but the other one is not.

³⁶ And their father Jacob said to them, You⌃ have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will you⌃ take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.

³⁸ But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which you⌃ go, then you⌃ shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades.

⁷ And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have you⌃ a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother? ⁸ And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you, and our store.

²⁷ And your servant our father said to us, You⌃ know that my wife bore me two [sons]; ²⁸ and one is departed from me; and you⌃ said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now. ²⁹ If then you⌃ take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you⌃ bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. ³⁰ Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)

²¹ and the sons of Benjamin; Bala, and Bochor, and Asbel. And the sons of Bala were Gera, and Noeman, and Anchis, and Ros, and Mamphim. And Gera begot Arad.

⁸ Juda, your brethren have praised you, and your hands shall be on the back of your enemies; your father's sons shall do you reverence.

¹⁵ herein shall you⌃ be manifested; by the health of Pharao, you⌃ shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come here.

⁶ And I will fix mine eyes upon them for good, and I will restore them into this land for good: and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

⁴ For thus says the Lord concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the king of Juda, which have been pulled down for mounds and fortifications,

⁴ And if they should go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them: and I will set mine eyes against them for evil, and not for good.

³⁰ Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)

¹⁵ herein shall you⌃ be manifested; by the health of Pharao, you⌃ shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come here. ¹⁶ Send one of you, and take your brother; and go you⌃ to prison, till your words be clear, whether you⌃ speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily you⌃ are spies. ¹⁷ And he put them in prison three days. ¹⁸ And he said to them on the third day, This do, and you⌃ shall live, for I fear God. ¹⁹ If you⌃ be peaceful, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go you⌃, and carry back the corn you⌃ have purchased. ²⁰ And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, you⌃ shall die. And they did so.

³ And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, You⌃ shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.

⁵ but if you send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, You⌃ shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.

²⁹ And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying, ³⁰ The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land. ³¹ And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies. ³² We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father today in the land of Chanaan. ³³ And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that you⌃ are peaceful; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn you⌃ have purchased for your family, depart. ³⁴ And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that you⌃ are not spies, but that you⌃ are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and you⌃ shall trade in the land.

⁴ If, then, you send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy you food; ⁵ but if you send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, You⌃ shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.

¹⁸ And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel. 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. ²¹ And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.

²⁸ And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.

²² And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and he opened her womb. ²³ And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach. ²⁴ And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son. ²⁵ And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.

¹⁶ [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader,]] and it came to pass when he drew near to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labor. ¹⁷ And it came to pass in her hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for you shall also have this son. ¹⁸ And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.

¹⁹ And the sons of Rachel, the wife of Jacob; Joseph, and Benjamin.

¹³ And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send you to them; and he said to him, Behold, I [am here]. ¹⁴ And Israel said to him, Go and see if your brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem.

³³ And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

³¹ —it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and your servants will bring down the old age of your servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave.

¹⁷ And I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn my face away from them, and they shall be devoured; and many evils and afflictions shall come upon them; and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.

³ I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I sware to David my servant. ⁴ I will establish your seed for ever, and build up your throne to all generations. Pause.

³⁴ For how shall I go up to my father, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.

¹ [And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]

²⁹ And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting you and seeking your life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and you shall whirl the life of your enemies [as] in the midst of a sling.

³³ And the king was troubled, and went to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and thus he said as he went, My son Abessalom, my son, my son Abessalom; would God I had died for you, [even] I [had died] for you, Abessalom, my son, my son!

²⁶ And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we kill our brother, and conceal his blood? ²⁷ Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren listened.

³⁵ And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.

²⁹ If then you⌃ take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you⌃ bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave.

¹⁷ And they young man answered and said, The men of Israel fled from the face of the Philistines, and there was a great slaughter among the people, and both your sons are dead, and the ark of God is taken. ¹⁸ And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from the seat backward near the gate, and his back was broken, and he died, for [he was] an old man and heavy: and he judged Israel twenty years.

²² And David said to Abiathar, I knew it in that day, that Doec the Syrian would surely tell Saul: I am guilty of the death of the house of your father.

³² And now if you will forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of your book, which you have written.

⁸ And Moses related to his father-in-law all things that the Lord did to Pharao and all the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the labor that had befallen them in the way, and that the Lord had rescued them out of the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians.

³³ And [if] I do not destroy a man of your from my altar, [it shall be] that his eyes may fail and his soul may perish; and every one that remains in your house shall fall by the sword of men. ³⁴ And this which shall come upon your two sons Ophni and Phinees shall be a sign to you; in one day they shall both die.

²⁸ Behold, I [will] gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.

⁶ For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?

²⁹ And if too I was glad at the fall of mine enemies, and mine heart said, Aha!

¹⁰ And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he killed all the princes of Juda in Deblatha. ¹¹ And he put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died.
