¹ When Jacob saw that there was corn to be sold in Egypt, he said unto his sons, "Why are ye negligent? ² Behold, I have heard that there is corn to be sold in Egypt. Get you thither and buy us corn from thence, that we may live and not die." ³ So went Joseph's ten brethren down to buy corn in Egypt, ⁴ for Benjamin, Joseph's brother, would not Jacob send with his other brethren: for he said, "Some misfortune might happen him." ⁵ And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among other that came, for there was dearth also in the land of Canaan. ⁶ And Joseph was governor in the land, and sold corn to all the people of the land. And his brethren came, and fell flat on the ground before him. ⁷ When Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them: But made strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them saying, "Whence come ye?" And they said, "Out of the land of Canaan, to buy victuals." ⁸ Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. ⁹ And Joseph remembered his dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, "Ye are spies, and to see where the land is weak is your coming." ¹⁰ And they said unto him, "Nay, my lord: but to buy victuals thy servants are come. ¹¹ We are all one man's sons, and mean truly, and thy servants are no spies." ¹² And he said unto them, "Nay, verily, but even to see where the land is weak is your coming." ¹³ And they said, "We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is yet with our father, and one no man knoweth where he is." ¹⁴ Joseph said unto them, "That is it that I said unto you, that ye are surely spies. ¹⁵ Hereby ye shall be proved. For by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not go hence, until your youngest brother be come hither. ¹⁶ Send therefore one of you and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be in prison in the mean season. And thereby shall your words be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh, ye are but spies." ¹⁷ And he put them inward three days. ¹⁸ And Joseph said unto the third day, "This do and live, for I fear God. ¹⁹ If ye mean no hurt, let one of your brethren be bound in the prison, and go ye and bring the necessary food unto your households, ²⁰ and bring your youngest brother unto me: that your words may be believed, and that ye die not." And they did so. ²¹ Then they said one to another, "We have verily sinned against our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and would not hear him: therefore is this trouble come upon us." ²² Reuben answered them, saying, "Said I not unto you that ye should not sin against the lad? But ye would not hear; And now verily see, his blood is required." ²³ They were not aware that Joseph understood them, for he spake unto them by an interpreter. ²⁴ And he turned from them and wept, and then turned to them again and communed with them, and took out Simeon from among them and bound him before their eyes, ²⁵ and commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to put every man's money in his sack, and to give them victuals to spend by the way. And so it was done to them. ²⁶ And they laded their asses with the corn and departed thence. ²⁷ And as one of them opened his sack, for to give his ass provender in the Inn, he spied his money in his sack's mouth. ²⁸ And he said unto his brethren, "My money is restored me again, and is even in my sack's mouth." Then their hearts failed them, and were astonished and said one to another, "How cometh it that God dealeth thus with us?" ²⁹ And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened them, saying, ³⁰ "The lord of the land spake roughly to us, and took us for spies to search the country. ³¹ And we said unto him, 'We mean truly and are no spies. ³² We be twelve brethren sons of our father, one is away, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.' ³³ And the lord of the country said unto us, 'Hereby shall I know if ye mean truly: leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food necessary for your households and get you away, ³⁴ and bring your youngest brother unto me; And thereby shall I know that ye are no spies, but mean truly: So will I deliver you your brother again, and ye shall occupy in the land.'" ³⁵ And as they emptied their sacks, behold: every man's bundle of money was in his sack. And when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid. ³⁶ And Jacob their father said unto them, "Me have ye robbed of my children: Joseph is away, and Simeon is away, and ye will take Benjamin away. All these things fall upon me." ³⁷ Reuben answered his father, saying, "Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee again. Deliver him therefore to my hand, and I will bring him to thee again." ³⁸ And he said, "My son shall not go down with you. For his brother is dead, and he is left alone. Moreover, some misfortune might happen upon him by the way which ye go. And so should ye bring my gray head with sorrow unto the grave."

¹⁹ as the LORD commanded Moses, even so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai. ²⁰ And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, in their generations, kindreds and houses of their fathers — when they were numbered every man by name, all that were males from twenty years and above, as many as were able to go forth in war - ²¹ were numbered in the tribe of Reuben, forty six thousand and five hundred. ²² Among the children of Simeon, their generation in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — when every man's name was told, of all the males from twenty years and above, whatsoever was meet for the war - ²³ were numbered in the tribe of Simeon forty nine thousand and three hundred. ²⁴ Among the children of Gad, their generation in their kindreds and households of their fathers — when they were told by name, from twenty years and above, all that were mete for the war - ²⁵ were numbered in the tribe of Gad forty five thousand, six hundred and fifty. ²⁶ Among the children of Judah, their generation in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — by the number of names, from twenty years and above, all that were able to war - ²⁷ were told in the tribe of Judah seventy four thousand and six hundred. ²⁸ Among the children of Issachar, their generation, in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — when their names were counted, from twenty years and above, whatsoever was apt for war — ²⁹ were numbered in the tribe of Issachar fifty four thousand and four hundred. ³⁰ Among the children of Zebulun, their generation, in their kindreds and houses of their fathers —after the number of names, from twenty years and above, whosoever was mete for the war - ³¹ were counted in the tribe of Zebulun fifty seven thousand and four hundred. ³² Among the children of Joseph, first among the children of Ephraim, their generation, in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — when the names of all that were apt to the war were told, from twenty years and above - ³³ were in number in the tribe of Ephraim, forty thousand, and six hundred. ³⁴ Among the children of Manasseh, their generation, in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — when the names of all that were apt to war were told, ³⁵ from twenty and above — were numbered in the tribe of Manasseh thirty two thousand and two hundred. ³⁶ Among the children of Benjamin, their generation, in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — by the tale of names, from twenty years and above of all that were mete for war - ³⁷ were numbered in the tribe of Benjamin thirty five thousand and four hundred. ³⁸ Among the children of Dan, their generation in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — in the sum of names of all that was apt to war, ³⁹ from twenty years and above — were numbered in the tribe of Dan fifty seven thousand and seven hundred. ⁴⁰ Among the children of Asher, their generation, in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — when they were summed by name, from twenty years and above, all that were apt to war - ⁴¹ were numbered in the tribe of Asher forty one thousand and five hundred. ⁴² Among the children of Naphtali, their generation in their kindreds and houses of their fathers — when their names were told, from twenty years and above, whatsoever was mete to war - ⁴³ were numbered in the tribe of Naphtali fifty three thousand and four hundred. ⁴⁴ These are the numbers which Moses and Aaron numbered with the twelve princes of Israel: of every house of their fathers, a man. ⁴⁵ And all the numbers of the children of Israel, in the houses of their fathers, from twenty years and above, whatsoever was mete for the war in Israel, ⁴⁶ drew unto the sum of six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty. ⁴⁷ But the Levites in the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. ⁴⁸ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ⁴⁹ "Only see that thou number not the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel. ⁵⁰ But thou shalt appoint the Levites unto the habitation of witness, and to all the apparel thereof and unto all that longeth thereto. For they shall bear the tabernacle and all the ordinance thereof, and they shall minister it and shall pitch their tents round about it. ⁵¹ And when the tabernacle goeth forth, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is pitched, they shall set it up: for if any stranger come near, he shall die. ⁵² And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man in his own company and every man by his own standard throughout all their hosts. ⁵³ But the Levites shall pitch round about the habitation of witness, that there fall no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel, and the Levites shall wait upon the habitation of witness." ⁵⁴ And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ² "Make thee two trumpets of hard silver, that thou mayest use them to call the congregation together, and when the host shall journey. ³ When they blow with them, all the multitude shall resort to thee, unto the door of the tabernacle of witness. ⁴ If but one trumpet blow only, then the princes which are heads over the thousands of Israel shall come unto thee. ⁵ And when ye trump the first time, the hosts that lie on the east parts shall go forward. ⁶ And when ye trump the second time, then the hosts that lie on the south side shall take their journey: for they shall trump when they take their journeys. ⁷ And in gathering the congregation together, ye shall blow and not trump. ⁸ And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets and shall have them and it shall be a law unto you forever and among your children after you. ⁹ "And when ye shall go to war in your land against your enemies that vex you, ye shall trump with the trumpets and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies. ¹⁰ Also, when ye be merry in your feast days and in the first days of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt sacrifices and peaceofferings, that it may be a remembrance of you before your God. I am the LORD your God." ¹¹ And it came to pass the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the habitation of witness. ¹² And the children of Israel took their journey out of the desert of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. ¹³ And the first took their journey at the mouth of the LORD, by the hand of Moses: ¹⁴ even the standard of the host of Judah removed first with their armies, whose captain was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. ¹⁵ And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar, was Nethanel the son of Zuar. ¹⁶ And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulon, was Eliab the son of Helon. ¹⁷ And the habitation was taken down: and the sons of Gershon and Merari went forth bearing the habitation. ¹⁸ Then the standard of the host of Reuben went forth with their armies, whose captain was Elizur the son of Shedeur. ¹⁹ And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon, was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. ²⁰ And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. ²¹ Then the Kohathites went forward and bare the holy things, and the other did set up the habitation against they came. ²² Then the standard of the host of the children of Ephraim went forth with their armies, whose captain was Elishama the son of Ammihud. ²³ And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. ²⁴ And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, was Abidan the son of Gedeoni. ²⁵ And hindmost of all the host came the standard of the host of the children of Dan with their armies: whose captain was, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. ²⁶ And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher, was Pagiel the son of Ochran. ²⁷ And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, was Ahira the son of Enan. ²⁸ Of this manner were the journeys of the children of Israel, with their armies when they removed. ²⁹ And Moses said unto Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We go unto the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it you.' Go with us and we will do thee good, for the LORD hath promised good unto Israel." ³⁰ And he said unto him, "I will not: but will go to mine own land and to my kindred." ³¹ And Moses said, "Oh nay, leave us not, for thou knowest where is best for us to pitch in the wilderness: and thou shalt be our eyes. ³² And if thou go with us, look what goodness the LORD showeth upon us, the same we will show upon thee." ³³ And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey to search out a resting place for them. ³⁴ And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they went out of the tents. ³⁵ And when the ark went forth, Moses said, "Rise up LORD and let thine enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee flee before thee." ³⁶ And when the ark rested, he said, "Return LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel."

¹ And after the plague, the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar, saying, ² "Take the number of all the multitude of the children of Israel from twenty years and above throughout their fathers' houses, all that are able to go to war in Israel." ³ And Moses and Eleazar the priest told them in the fields of Moab by Jordan, fast by Jericho, ⁴ from twenty years and above, as the LORD commanded Moses. And the children of Israel that came of Egypt were: ⁵ Reuben, the eldest son of Israel. The children of Reuben were, Hanoch, of whom cometh the kindred of the Hanochites; and of Pallu, cometh the kindred of the Palluites; ⁶ And of Hezron, cometh the kindred of the Hezronites; and of Carmi, cometh the kindred of the Carmites. ⁷ These are the kindreds of the Reubenites, which were in number forty three thousand seven hundred and thirty. ⁸ And the sons of Pallu were Eliab. ⁹ And the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, councilors in the congregation, which strove against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD. ¹⁰ And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and Korah also, when the multitude died, what time the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men, and they became a sign: ¹¹ Notwithstanding, the children of Korah died not. ¹² And the children of Simeon in their kindreds were: Nemuel, of whom cometh the kindred of the Nemuelites; Jamin, of whom cometh the kindred of the Jaminites; Jachin, of whom cometh the kindred of the Jachinites; ¹³ Zerah of whom cometh the kindred of the Zerahites; Shaul of whom cometh the kindred of the Shaulites. ¹⁴ These are the kindreds of the Simeonites, in number twenty two thousand and two hundred. ¹⁵ And the children of Gad in their kindreds were: Zephon, of whom cometh the kindred of the Zephonites; and of Haggi, cometh the kindred of the Haggites; and of Shuni, cometh the kindred of the Shunites; ¹⁶ and of Ozni, cometh the kindred of the Oznites; and of Eri cometh the kindred of the Erites; ¹⁷ and of Arod cometh the kindred of the Arodites: and of Areli cometh the kindred of the Arelites. ¹⁸ These are the kindreds of the children of Gad, in number forty thousand and five hundred. ¹⁹ The children of Judah: Er and Onan, which died in the land of Canaan. ²⁰ But the children of Judah in their kindred were: Shelah of whom cometh the kindred of the Shelanites; and of Perez cometh the kindred of the Perezites; and of Zerah cometh the kindred of the Zerahites. ²¹ And the children of Perez were Hezron, of whom cometh the kindred of the Hezronites: and of Hamul cometh the kindred of the Hamulites. ²² These are the kindreds of Judah, in number seventy six thousand and five hundred. ²³ And the children of Issachar in their kindreds were: Tola, of whom cometh the kindred of the Tolaites: and Puvah, of whom cometh the kindred of the Punites; ²⁴ and of Jashub cometh the kindred of the Jashubites; and of Shimron cometh the kindred of the Shimronites. ²⁵ These are the kindreds of Issachar, in number sixty four thousand and three hundred. ²⁶ The children of Zebulun in their kindreds were: Sered, of whom cometh the kindred of the Seredites; and Elon, of whom cometh the kindred of the Elonites; and of Jahleel, cometh the kindred of the Jahleelites. ²⁷ These are the kindreds of Zebulun, in number sixty thousand and five hundred. ²⁸ The children of Joseph in their kindreds were: Manasseh and Ephraim. ²⁹ The children of Manasseh: Machir, of whom cometh the kindred of the Machirites. And Machir begat Gilead, of whom cometh the kindred of the Gileadites. ³⁰ And these are the children of Gilead: Iezer, of whom cometh the kindred of the Iezerites; and of Helek cometh the kindred of the Helekites; ³¹ and of Asriel the kindred of the Asrielites; and of Shechem cometh the kindred of the Shechemites; ³² and of Shemida cometh the kindred of the Shemidites; and of Hepher cometh the kindred of the Hepherites. ³³ And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons but daughters. And the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah. ³⁴ These are the kindreds of Manasseh, in number fifty two thousand and seven hundred. ³⁵ These are the children of Ephraim in their kindreds: Shuthelah, of whom cometh the kindred of the Shuthelahites; and Becher, of whom cometh the kindred of the Becherites; and of Tahan cometh the kindred of the Tahanites. ³⁶ And these are the children of Shuthelah: Eran, of whom cometh the kindred of the Eranites. ³⁷ These are the kindreds of the children of Ephraim, in number thirty two thousand and five hundred. And these are the children of Joseph in their kindreds. ³⁸ These are the children of Benjamin in their kindreds: Bela, of whom cometh the kindred of the Belaites; and of Ashbel cometh the kindred of the Ashbelites; and of Ahiram, the kindred of the Ahiramites; ³⁹ and of Shephupham the kindred of the Shephuphamites; and of Hupham the kindred of the Huphamites. ⁴⁰ And the children of Bela were Ard and Naaman from whence come the kindreds of the Ardites and of the Naamites. ⁴¹ These are the children of Benjamin in their kindreds, and in number forty five thousand and six hundred. ⁴² These are the children of Dan in their kindreds: Shuham, of whom cometh the kindred of the Shuhamites. These are the kindreds of Dan in their generations. ⁴³ And all the kindreds of the Shuhamites were in number sixty four thousand and four hundred. ⁴⁴ The children of Asher in their kindreds were: Imnah, of whom cometh the kindred of the Imnites; and Ishvi, of whom cometh the kindred of the Ishvites; and of Beriah cometh the kindred of Beriites. ⁴⁵ And the children of Beriah were Heber, of whom cometh the kindred of the Heberites; and of Malchiel came the kindred of the Malchielites. ⁴⁶ And the daughter of Asher was called Sarah. ⁴⁷ These are the kindreds of Asher, in number fifty three thousand and four hundred. ⁴⁸ The children of Naphtali in their kindreds were: Jahzeel, of whom came the kindred of the Jahzeelites; and Guni, of whom came the kindred of the Gunites; ⁴⁹ and of Jezer, came the kindred of the Jezerites; and of Shillem the kindred of Shillemites. ⁵⁰ These are the kindreds of Naphtali in their generations, in number forty five thousand and four hundred. ⁵¹ These are the numbers of the children of Israel: six hundred thousand, and a thousand seven hundred and thirty. ⁵² And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ⁵³ "Unto these the land shall be divided to inherit, according to the number of names: ⁵⁴ to many, thou shalt give the more inheritance; and to few, the less. To every tribe shall the inheritance be given according to the number thereof. ⁵⁵ Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot; and according to the names of the tribes of their fathers, they shall inherit: ⁵⁶ and according to their lot thou shalt divide their land, both to the many and to the few." ⁵⁷ These are the sums of the Levites in their kindreds: of Gershon, came the kindred of the Gershonites; and of Kohath came the kindred of the Kohathites; and of Merari came the kindred of the Merarites. ⁵⁸ These are the kindreds of Levi: the kindred of the Libnites, the kindred of the Hebronites, the kindred of the Mahlites, the kindred of the Mushites, the kindred of the Korahites. Kohath begat Amram, ⁵⁹ and Amram's wife was called Jochebed; a daughter of Levi, which was born him in Egypt. And she bare unto Amram, Aaron, Moses and Miriam their sister. ⁶⁰ And unto Aaron were born, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ⁶¹ But Nadab and Abihu died, as they offered strange fire before the LORD. ⁶² And the number of them was twenty three thousand, of all the males from a month old and above. For they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel. ⁶³ These are the numbers of the children of Israel which Moses and Eleazar the priest numbered in the fields of Moab, fast by Jordan nigh to Jericho. ⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of the number of the children of Israel which Moses and Aaron told in the wilderness of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ² "Command the children of Israel and say unto them, 'When ye come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall unto your inheritance; the land of Canaan with all her coasts. ³ And your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, so that your south quarter shall be from the side of the salt sea eastward, ⁴ and shall fetch a compass from the south up to Akrabbim, and reach to Zin. And it shall go out on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, and go out also at Hazaraddar, and go along to Azmon. ⁵ And shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and shall go out at the sea. ⁶ And your west quarter shall be the great sea, which coast shall be your west coast. ⁷ And this shall be your north quarter: ye shall compass from the great sea unto mount Hor. ⁸ And from mount Hor, ye shall compass and go unto Hamath, and the end of the coast shall be at Zeded, ⁹ and the coast shall reach out to Ziphron and go out at Hazarenan. And this shall be your north quarter. ¹⁰ And ye shall compass your east quarter from Hazarenan to Shepham. ¹¹ And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. And then descend and go out at the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward. ¹² And then go down along by Jordan, and leave at the salt sea. And this shall be your land with all the coasts thereof round about.'" ¹³ And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, "This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, and which the LORD commanded to give unto nine tribes and a half: ¹⁴ for the tribe of the children of Reuben have received, in the households of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad in their fathers' households; and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance - ¹⁵ that is, to wit, two tribes and a half have received their inheritance on the other side of Jordan by Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising." ¹⁶ And the LORD spake to Moses, saying, ¹⁷ "These are the names of the men, which shall divide the land to inherit among you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. ¹⁸ And ye shall take also a lord of every tribe to divide the land, ¹⁹ whose names are these: in the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; ²⁰ and in the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud; ²¹ and in the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon; ²² and in the tribe of the children of Dan, the lord Bukki the son of Jogli; ²³ and among the children of Joseph: in the tribe of the children of Manasseh, the lord Hanniel the son of Ephod; ²⁴ and in the tribe of the children of Ephraim, the lord Kemuel the son of Shiphtan; ²⁵ and in the tribe of the sons of Zebulon, the lord Elizaphan the son of Parnach; ²⁶ and in the tribe of the children of Issachar, the lord Paltiel the son of Azzan; ²⁷ and in the tribe of the sons of Asher, the lord Ahihud the son of Shelomi; ²⁸ and in the tribe of the children of Naphtali, the lord Pedahel the son of Ammihud." ²⁹ These are they which the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel, in the land of Canaan.

¹ These be the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun; ² Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naptali, Gad and Asher. ³ The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born him of the daughter of Shua the Cananitess. But Er the eldest the son of Judah was evil in the sight of the LORD, and therefore he slew him. ⁴ And Tamar his daughter-in-law bare him Perez and Zerah: so that all the sons of Judah were five. ⁵ The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul. ⁶ The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol and Dara: five in all. ⁷ The sons of Carmi: Achar, that troubled Israel, which transgressed in the unlawful things. ⁸ The sons of Ethan: Azariah.

¹⁵ Thus sayeth the LORD, "The voice of heaviness, weeping and lamentation was heard on the hills; even of Rachel mourning for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not."

⁷ Our fathers, which now are gone, have sinned; and we must bear their wickedness.

¹⁶ Then Herod, perceiving that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, as many as were two years old and under according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the wise men.

¹⁸ "On the hills was a voice heard, mourning, weeping and great lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not."

⁹ And Joseph remembered his dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, "Ye are spies, and to see where the land is weak is your coming." ¹⁰ And they said unto him, "Nay, my lord: but to buy victuals thy servants are come. ¹¹ We are all one man's sons, and mean truly, and thy servants are no spies."

²⁴ Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

¹¹ His wrath is kindled against me; he taketh me, as though I were his enemy.

²¹ And Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. ²² And behold, a woman which was a Canaanite came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, "Have mercy on me Lord, thou son of David, my daughter is piteously vexed with a devil." ²³ And he gave her never a word to answer. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him saying, "Send her away, for she followeth us crying." ²⁴ He answered, and said, "I am not sent, but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." ²⁵ Then she came and worshipped him, saying, "Master, help me." ²⁶ He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast it to whelps." ²⁷ She answered and said, "It is truth, nevertheless the whelps eat of the crumbs, which fall from their masters' table." ²⁸ Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, "O woman great is thy faith, be it to thee, even as thou desirest." And her daughter was made whole even at that same hour.

⁷ When Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them: But made strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them saying, "Whence come ye?" And they said, "Out of the land of Canaan, to buy victuals."

¹² And he said unto them, "Nay, verily, but even to see where the land is weak is your coming."

²⁰ and bring your youngest brother unto me: that your words may be believed, and that ye die not." And they did so.

³ Then said Judah unto him, "The man did testify unto us saying, 'Look that ye see not my face except your brother be with you.'

²⁰ And we answered my lord, 'We have a father that is old, and a young lad which he begat in his age: and the brother of the said lad is dead, and he is all that is left of that mother. And his father loveth him.' ²¹ Then said my lord unto his servants, 'Bring him unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.' ²² And we answered my lord, that the lad could not go from his father, 'For if he should leave his father, he were but a dead man.' ²³ Then saidest thou unto thy servants, 'Except your youngest brother come with you, look that ye see my face no more.' ²⁴ And when we came unto thy servant our father, we showed him what my lord had said. ²⁵ And when our father said unto us, 'Go again and buy us a little food,' ²⁶ we said that we could not go. 'Nevertheless, if our youngest brother go with us then will we go, for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.'

¹³ But fear the LORD thy God and serve him, and swear by his name,

²⁶ and then she said, "Oh my lord, as truly as thy soul liveth my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

⁵⁵ When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner the captain of his host, "Abner, whose son is this lad?" And Abner answered, "As truly as thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell."

³ And David sware again and said, "Thy father knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes and therefore he thinketh, 'Jonathan shall not know it, lest he be sorry.' For in very deed even as truly as the LORD liveth, and as truly as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death."

² For though they can say, "The LORD liveth," yet do they swear to deceive.

⁷ "Should I then, for all this, have mercy upon thee? Thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods. And albeit they were bound to me in marriage, yet they fell to adultery, and hunted harlots' houses.

³³ "Again, ye have heard how it was said to them of old time, 'Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform thine oath to God': ³⁴ But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's seat: ³⁵ nor yet by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of that great King: ³⁶ neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one white hair or black: ³⁷ But your communication shall be, 'Yea, Yea; Nay, nay': for whatsoever is more than that cometh of evil.

¹⁶ Woe be unto you, blind guides, for ye which say, 'Whosoever swear by the temple, it is nothing: but whosoever swear by the gold of the temple, he offendeth.' ¹⁷ Ye fools and blind: whether is greater; the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? ¹⁸ And, 'Whosoever sweareth by the altar it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the offering that lieth on the altar offendeth.' ¹⁹ Ye fools and blind: whether is greater; the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering? ²⁰ Whosoever therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that thereon is. ²¹ And whosoever sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. ²² And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the seat of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

¹² But above all things, my brethren, swear not: neither by heaven, neither by earth, neither by any other oath. Let your yea be "yea," and your nay, "nay," lest ye fall into hypocrisy.

⁴ And the chief marshal gave Joseph a charge with them, and he served them. And they continued a season in ward.

⁷ And he asked them, saying, "Wherefore look ye so sadly today?"

¹⁰ Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put in ward in the chief marshal's house both me and the chief baker.

¹² And they put him inward, that Moses should declare unto them what the LORD said thereto.

⁶⁵ {Tet} O LORD, thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant, according unto thy word.

²² These shall be coupled together as prisoners be, and shall be shut up in one ward and punished innumerable days.

³ And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold until the next day. For it was now eventide.

¹⁸ and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

¹⁰ And they verily for a few days nurtured us after their own pleasure; but he learneth us unto that which is profitable, that we might receive of his holiness.

¹¹ And Abraham answered, "I thought that peradventure the fear of God was not in this place, and that they should slay me for my wife's sake:

⁴³ See therefore that thou reign not over him cruelly, but fear thy God.

⁹ Also I said, "It is not good, that ye do. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of God because of the rebuke of the Heathen our enemies?

¹⁵ For the old captains that were before me, had been chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, and forty sicles of silver: yea and their servants had oppressed the people. But so did not I, and that because of the fear of God.

² saying, "There was a Judge in a certain city, which feared not God neither regarded man.

⁴ And he would not for a while. But afterward he said unto himself, 'Though I fear not God, nor care for man,

³ even in the prison where Joseph was bound.

⁵⁶ And when the dearth was throughout all the land, Joseph opened all that was in the cities, and sold unto the Egyptians. And hunger waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

¹ When Jacob saw that there was corn to be sold in Egypt, he said unto his sons, "Why are ye negligent? ² Behold, I have heard that there is corn to be sold in Egypt. Get you thither and buy us corn from thence, that we may live and not die."

²⁶ And they laded their asses with the corn and departed thence.

¹ And the dearth waxed sore in the land. ² And when they had eaten up that corn which they brought out of the land of Egypt, their father said unto them, "Go again and buy us a little food."

²³ And unto his father he sent, after the same manner, ten he asses laden with goods out of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn, bread and meat: to serve his father by the way.

⁷ That thou mayest open the eyes of the blind; let out the prisoners, and them that sit in darkness, out of the dungeon house.

²² But it is a mischevious and wicked people. Their young men belong all to the snare, and shall be shut into prison houses. They shall be carried away captive, and no man shall loose them. They shall be trodden under foot, and no man shall labour to bring them again.

¹⁵ Wherefore the princes were angry with Jeremiah, causing him to be beaten, and to be laid in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe. For he was the ruler of the prison.

²² And Noah did according to all that God commanded him.

¹⁵ Hereby ye shall be proved. For by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not go hence, until your youngest brother be come hither.

⁵ But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go: for the man said unto us, 'Look that ye see not my face, except your brother be with you.'"

¹⁹ Therefore came they to the man that was the ruler over Joseph's house, and communed with him at the door,

²³ Then saidest thou unto thy servants, 'Except your youngest brother come with you, look that ye see my face no more.'

⁵ His mother said unto the ministers, "Whatsoever he sayeth unto you, do it."

²³ And as soon as Joseph was come unto his brethren, they stripped him out of his gay coat that was upon him, ²⁴ and they took him and cast him into a pit. But the pit was empty and had no water therein. ²⁵ And they sat them down to eat bread. And as they lift up their eyes and looked about, there came a company of Ishmaelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicery, balm, and myrrh, and were going down into Egypt. ²⁶ Then said Judah to his brethren, "What availeth it that we slay our brother, and keep his blood secret? ²⁷ Come on, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hands be defiled upon him: for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brethren were content. ²⁸ Then as the Midianites merchant men passed by, they drew Joseph out of the pit and sold him unto the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought him into Egypt.

⁹ Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, "I do remember my fault this day.

²³ But and if ye will not do so, behold, ye sin against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

⁷ Then Adonibezek said, "Three score and ten kings having their thumbs and great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table wherefore as I have done so God hath done to me again." And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

¹³ Then said David unto Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said again to David, "The LORD hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

¹⁸ Then said she unto Elijah, "What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? Art thou come unto me, that my sin should be thought on and my son slain?"

²⁷ Such a respect hath he unto men. Therefore let a man confess, and say, 'I offended, but he hath chastened and reformed me: I did unrighteously nevertheless he hath not recompensed me thereafter. ²⁸ Yea, he hath delivered my soul from destruction, and my life, that it seeth the light.'

³¹ "For so much as I have begun to talk of God, I will not hinder thee; ³² If I have gone amiss, inform me: if I have done wrong, I will leave off.

⁸ But if they be laid in prison and chains, or bound with the bonds of poverty: ⁹ then sheweth he them their works and deeds and the sins wherewith they have used cruel violence.

²⁷ even when the thing that ye be afraid of, falleth in suddenly like a storm, and your misery like a tempest: yea, when trouble and heaviness cometh upon you. ²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not hear: they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ear at the crying of the poor; he shall cry himself and not be heard.

¹¹ Deliver them that go unto death, and are led away to be slain, and be not negligent therein. ¹² If thou wilt say, "I knew not of it"; Thinkest thou that he which made the hearts, doth not consider it? And that he which regardeth thy soul, seeth it not? Shall not he recompense every man according to his works?

¹⁷ He that by violence sheddeth any man's blood, shall be a renagade unto his grave; and no man shall be able to succor him.

¹⁷ Cometh not this unto thee, because thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, ever since he led thee by the way?

¹⁹ Thine own wickedness shall reprove thee, and thy turning away shall condemn thee: that thou mayest know and understand, how evil and hurtful a thing it is, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and not feared him, sayeth the LORD God of Hosts.

¹⁸ Thy ways and thy thoughts have brought thee unto this. This is thy own wickedness and disobedience, that hath possessed thine heart.

¹⁷ And therefore thus sayeth the LORD: Ye have not obeyed me, every man to proclaim freedom unto his brother and neighbour: wherefore, I will call you unto a freedom, sayeth the LORD - even unto the sword, to the pestilence, and to hunger, and will make you to be plagued in all the kingdoms of the earth.

¹⁵ I will go, and return to my place, till they wax faint, and seek me.

² For as ye judge, so shall ye be judged: and with what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured to you again.

³ Then when Judas, which betrayed him, saw that he was condemned, he repented himself; and brought again the thirty plates of silver to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, "I have sinned, betraying the innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? see thou to that."

⁴³ Wherefore, if thy hand offend thee, cut him off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than to go, having two hands, into hell: into fire that never shall be quenched, ⁴⁴ where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out. ⁴⁵ Likewise, if thy foot offend thee, cut him off. For it is better for thee to go halt into life, than, having two feet, to be cast into hell: into fire that never shall be quenched,

⁴⁸ where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out.

²⁸ For I have five brethren: for to warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'

¹⁸ And many that believed came, and confessed and showed their works.

¹³ For there shall be judgment, merciless, to him that showeth no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

⁹ If we knowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁰ And he said, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cryeth unto me out of the earth.

⁵ For verily the blood of you, wherein your lives are, will I require: Even of the hand of all beasts will I require it, and of the hand of man and of the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man: ⁶ so that he which sheddeth man's blood, shall have his blood shed by man again: for God made man after his own likeness.

²¹ When Reuben heard that, he went about to rid him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him." ²² And Reuben said moreover unto them, "Shed not his blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hands upon him." For he would have rid him out of their hands and delivered him to his father again.

²⁹ And when Reuben came again unto the pit and found not Joseph there, he rent his clothes, ³⁰ and went again unto his brethren, saying, "The lad is not yonder, and whither shall I go?"

³² And the LORD bring his blood upon his own head, for he smote two men righteouser and better than he, and slew them with the sword; my father unwitting: even Abner the son of Ner captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether captain of the host of Judah.

²² And so Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, "The LORD see, and require a reckoning!"

¹² And why? For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poor.

¹⁸ If I say unto thee, concerning the ungodly man, that without doubt he must die: and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest unto him, that he may turn from his evil way, and so to live - Then shall the same ungodly man die in his own unrighteousness, but his blood will I require of thine hand.

⁵⁰ That the blood of all prophets, which was shed from the beginning of the world, may be required of this generation, ⁵¹ from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this nation.

⁴¹ We are righteously punished, for we receive according to our deeds: But this man hath done no thing amiss."

⁴ When the men of the country saw the worm hang on his hand, they said among themselves, "This man must needs be a murderer: Whom, though he have escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live."

¹⁵ which show the deed of the law written in their hearts: While their conscience beareth witness unto them, and also their thoughts, accusing one another, or excusing,

¹⁰ He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity: he that killeth with a sword, must be killed with a sword. Here is the patience, and the faith of the saints.

⁹ And the men raged in great heat, and spake evil of the name of God which hath power over those plagues, and they repented not, to give him glory.

¹³ Howbeit, when he is once come — I mean the spirit of truth — he will lead you into all truth. He shall not speak of himself: but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine, and shall show unto you.

²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the room of Christ: even as though God did beseech you through us. So pray we you, in Christ's stead, that ye be at one with God:

²⁵ And the third day, when it was painful to them, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took either of them his sword and went into the city boldly, and slew all that was male;

²³ And he said, "Be of good cheer, fear not: Your God and the God of your fathers hath put you that treasure in your sacks, for I had your money." And he brought Simeon out to them,

³⁰ And Joseph made haste — for his heart did melt upon his brother — and sought for to weep, and entered into his chamber, for to weep there.

¹⁴ And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. ¹⁵ Moreover, he kissed all his brethren and wept upon them. And after that, his brethren talked with him.

⁵ The brethren Simeon and Levi, wicked instruments are their weapons. ⁶ Into their secrets come not my soul, and unto their congregation be my honour not coupled: for in their wrath they slew a man, and in their self will they houghed an ox. ⁷ Cursed be their wrath for it was strong, and their fierceness for it was cruel. I will therefore divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

⁹ In their troubles he forsook them not, but the angel that went forth from his presence delivered them. Of very love and kindness that he had unto them, he redeemed them: He hath born them, and carried them up ever since the world began.

⁴¹ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it,

¹⁵ Be merry with them that are merry. Weep with them that weep.

²⁶ And if one member suffer, all suffer with him: if one member be had in honour, all members be glad also.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest, which cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but was in all points tempted, as we are: but yet without sin.

²² And have compassion on some, separating them: ²³ and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, and hate the filthy vesture of the flesh.

¹ And he commanded the ruler of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, ² and put every man's money in his bag mouth, and put my silver cup in the sack's mouth of the youngest and his corn money also." And he did as Joseph had said.

²¹ And the children of Israel did even so. And Joseph gave them chariots at the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them victuals also to spend by the way.

¹ Come to the waters, all ye that be thirsty, and ye that have no money. Come buy, that ye may have to eat. Come buy wine and milk, without any money, or money worth.

⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which do you wrong and persecute you;

³³ But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you.

¹⁷ Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide aforehand things honest in the sight of all men. ¹⁸ If it be possible, howbeit of your part, have peace with all men. ¹⁹ Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but give room unto the wrath of God. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine, and I will reward, saith the Lord." ²⁰ Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him: if he thirst, give him drink. For in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. ²¹ Be not overcome of evil: But overcome evil with goodness.

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrariwise, bless: remembering that ye are thereunto called, even that ye should be heirs of blessing.

²¹ and as we came to an inn and opened our sacks: behold, every man's money was in his sack with full weight. But we have brought it again with us, ²² and other money have we brought also in our hands, to buy food, but we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks."

¹¹ And at once every man took down his sack to the ground, and every man opened his sack.

²⁴ And it chanced by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him and would have killed him.

⁷ And she brought forth her first begotten son. And wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them within, in the inn.

³⁴ and went to him, and bound up his wounds, and poured in wine, and oil, and put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and made provision for him.

³³ And Isaac was greatly astonished out of measure, and said, "Where is he then that hath hunted venison and brought it me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him, and he shall be blessed still."

³⁶ "'And upon them that are left alive of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the land of their enemies: so that the sound of a leaf that falleth, shall chase them and they shall flee as though they fled a sword, and shall fall no man following them.

⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shalt be no small season, and yet shalt have no rest for the sole of thy foot. For the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart and dazing eyes and sorrow of mind.

⁵ and the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his servitors and their apparel, and his butlers and his sacrifice that he offered in the house of the LORD, she was astonished.

² From the ends of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is in heaviness. O set me up upon the rock that is higher than I;

⁶ Nevertheless when I had opened unto my beloved, he was departed and gone his way. Now like as afore time when he spake, my heart could not longer refrain: Even so now I sought him, but I could not find him: I cried upon him, nevertheless he gave me no answer.

⁷ It is I that created the light, and darkness. I make peace, and trouble: yea, even I the LORD do all these things.

¹⁷ {Pe} The LORD hath fulfilled the thing that he was purposed to do; and performed that he had devised long ago. He hath destroyed; and not spared. He hath caused thine adversary to triumph over thee; and set up the horn of thine enemy.

³⁷ {Mem} What is he then that sayeth, "There should something be done without the LORD's commandment:

⁶ Cry they out Alarum with the trumpet in the city, and the people not afraid? Cometh there any plague in a city without it be the LORD's doing?

²⁶ and men's hearts shall fail them for fear, and for looking after those things which shall come on the earth. For the powers of heaven shall move.

¹⁰ and dwell with us, and the land shall be at your pleasure; dwell and do your business, and have your possessions therein."

²¹ "These men are peaceable with us, and will dwell in the land and do their occupation therein; And in the land is room enough for them, let us take their daughters to wives and give them ours;

¹⁵ besides that he had of chapmen and merchants of apothecaries and of all the kings of Arabia and of the lords of the country.

⁴ and brake off the top of his twig, and carried it into the land of Canaan, and set it in a city of merchants.

²⁷ And as one of them opened his sack, for to give his ass provender in the Inn, he spied his money in his sack's mouth. ²⁸ And he said unto his brethren, "My money is restored me again, and is even in my sack's mouth." Then their hearts failed them, and were astonished and said one to another, "How cometh it that God dealeth thus with us?"

¹² And take as much money more with you. And the money that was brought again in your sacks, take it again with you in your hands, peradventure it was some oversight.

¹⁵ Thus took they the present and twice so much more money with them, and Benjamin. And rose up, went down to Egypt, and presented themself to Joseph.

²¹ and as we came to an inn and opened our sacks: behold, every man's money was in his sack with full weight. But we have brought it again with us,

²⁰ come now and let us slay him and cast him into some pit, and let us say that some wicked beast hath devoured him, and let us see what his dreams will come to." ²¹ When Reuben heard that, he went about to rid him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him." ²² And Reuben said moreover unto them, "Shed not his blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hands upon him." For he would have rid him out of their hands and delivered him to his father again. ²³ And as soon as Joseph was come unto his brethren, they stripped him out of his gay coat that was upon him, ²⁴ and they took him and cast him into a pit. But the pit was empty and had no water therein. ²⁵ And they sat them down to eat bread. And as they lift up their eyes and looked about, there came a company of Ishmaelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicery, balm, and myrrh, and were going down into Egypt. ²⁶ Then said Judah to his brethren, "What availeth it that we slay our brother, and keep his blood secret? ²⁷ Come on, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hands be defiled upon him: for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brethren were content. ²⁸ Then as the Midianites merchant men passed by, they drew Joseph out of the pit and sold him unto the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought him into Egypt. ²⁹ And when Reuben came again unto the pit and found not Joseph there, he rent his clothes, ³⁰ and went again unto his brethren, saying, "The lad is not yonder, and whither shall I go?" ³¹ And they took Joseph's coat and killed a goat, and dipped the coat in the blood. ³² And they sent that gay coat and caused it to be brought unto their father and said, "This have we found: see, whether it be thy son's coat or no." ³³ And he knew it, saying, "It is my son's coat: a wicked beast hath devoured him, and Joseph is rent in pieces." ³⁴ And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth about his loins, and sorrowed for his son a long season. ³⁵ Then came all his sons and all his daughters to comfort him. And he would not be comforted, but said, "I will go down into the grave unto my son, mourning." And thus his father wept for him.

²⁸ And Israel said, "I have enough, if Joseph my son be yet alive: I will go and see him, yer that I die."

¹² And Joseph made provision for his father, his brethren, and all his father's household, as young children are fed with bread.

¹ Then thought David in his heart, "I may perish, one day or other, by the hands of Saul. There is no better for me, than to flee into the land of the Philistines; that Saul, of very despair to find me, may cease to seek me anymore in all the coasts of Israel: for so I may escape his hand."

⁷ "O remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall no more see the pleasures thereof;

¹⁹ Great are the troubles of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of all.

⁸ The end of a thing is better than the beginning. The patient of spirit is better than the high minded.

⁹ And therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be thus reconciled. And so shall he take away all the fruit of his sins. As for altar stones, he shall make them all as stones beaten to powder: the groves and Idols shall not stand.

¹⁰ "I thought I should have gone to the gates of hell in my best age, and have wanted the residue of my years.

¹⁰ Be not afraid, for I will be with thee. Look not behind thee, for I will be thy God, to strengthen thee, help thee, and to keep thee with this righthand of mine.

¹³ For I, thy LORD and God, will strengthen thy righthand. Even I that say unto thee, 'Fear not,' I will help thee. ¹⁴ Be not afraid, thou little worm Jacob, and thou despised Israel: for I will help thee, sayeth the LORD, and the holy one of Israel thine avenger.

³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, "O thou of little faith: wherefore didst thou doubt?"

²⁸ For we know well that all things work for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose.

³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us?

¹³ There hath none other temptation taken you, such as followeth the nature of man. God is faithful, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above your strength: but shall in the midst of the temptation make a way to escape out.

¹⁷ For our exceeding tribulation, which is momentary and light, prepareth an exceeding and eternal weight of glory unto us,

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience there upon, until he receive the early and the latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient therefore, and settle your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. ⁹ Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be damned. Behold, the judge standeth before the door. ¹⁰ Take, my brethren, the prophets: for an example of suffering adversity, and of long patience, which spake in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have known what end the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitiful, and merciful.

⁹ I will be surety for him, and of my hands require him. If I bring him not to thee and set him before thine eyes, then let me bear the blame forever.

⁹ The children of Reuben: Hanoch, Phallu, Hezron and Carmi.

⁷ Hath the LORD a pleasure in many thousand rams, or innumerable streams of oil? Or shall I give my firstborn for mine offenses, and the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"

¹⁶ And they departed from Bethel, and when he was but a field breadth from Ephrata, Rachel began to travail. And in travailing she was in peril. ¹⁷ And as she was in pains of her labour, the midwife said unto her, "Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also." ¹⁸ Then as her soul was departing, that she must die: she called his name Benoni. But his father called him Benjamin.

³³ And he knew it, saying, "It is my son's coat: a wicked beast hath devoured him, and Joseph is rent in pieces."

³⁵ Then came all his sons and all his daughters to comfort him. And he would not be comforted, but said, "I will go down into the grave unto my son, mourning." And thus his father wept for him.

⁴ for Benjamin, Joseph's brother, would not Jacob send with his other brethren: for he said, "Some misfortune might happen him."

⁶ Deal with him therefore according to thy wisdom and see that thou bring not his hoar head down to the grave in peace.

¹⁸ Forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when I am grey-headed, until I have showed thy strength unto children's children, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

¹⁰ The days of our age are threescore years and ten: and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.

¹⁴ Thus I have considered all the things that come to pass under the Sun, and lo, they are all but vanity and vexation of mind.

²⁶ He giveth unto man, what it pleaseth him; whether it be wisdom, understanding, or gladness. But unto the sinner he giveth weariness and sorrow, that he may gather and heap together the thing, that afterward shall be given unto him whom it pleaseth God. This is now a vain thing, yea a very disquietness and vexation of mind.

⁴ I, I which shall bear you unto your last age, I have made you; I will also nourish you, bear you and save you.
