grieved, and they were very
wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened, they returned from the field. They were filled with grief and
fury, because
Shechem had
committed an
outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.
And Hamor
communed with them, saying, The soul of my son
Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.

Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.

And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.
Come now therefore, and let us
slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath
devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
“
Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We can say that a
vicious animal has
devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams!”

Come, let us sell him to the
Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him; for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And they agreed.

comfort him; but he refused to be
comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son
mourning. Thus his father

come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What
wilt thou give me, that thou mayest

Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.

come seven years of great
plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him
appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven
plenteous years.
Let Pharaoh take action and
appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
Under the authority of Pharaoh, let them collect all the excess food from these good years, that they may come and lay up the grain to be preserved as food in the cities.
And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine.”
Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence
come ye? And they said, From the land of
Canaan to
buy food.

come from?” he asked. “From the land of
Canaan,” they replied. “We are here to
buy food.”
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are
spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are
come.
Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said, “You are
spies! You have
come to see if our land is
vulnerable.”
And they said unto him,
Nay, my lord, but to
buy food are thy servants
come.
“Not so, my lord,” they replied. “Your servants have
come to
buy food.
And he said unto them,
Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are
come.
“No,” he told them. “You have
come to see if our land is
vulnerable.”

come hither.

And they said one to another, We are
verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the
anguish of his soul, when he
besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress
come upon us.

anguish when he
pleaded with us, but we would not
listen. That is why this distress has
come upon us.”

Then Joseph
commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his
sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.

sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out,
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief
befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
But Jacob replied, “My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If any
harm comes to him on your journey, you will bring my gray hair down to
Sheol in sorrow.”
For except we had
lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
If we had not delayed, we could have come and gone twice by now.”
And the man did as Joseph
bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house.
The man did as Joseph had commanded and took the brothers to Joseph’s house.
And they came near to the
steward of Joseph’s house, and they
communed with him at the door of the house,

steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.

buy food:
“Please, sir,” they said, “we really did
come down here the first time to
buy food.
And he washed his face, and went out, and
refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
Then he washed his face and came back out. Regaining his
composure, he said, “Serve the meal.”
And he
commanded the
steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his
sack’s mouth.
Then Joseph
instructed his
steward: “Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each one’s silver in the mouth of his
sack.
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your younger brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’
And if ye take this also from me, and mischief
befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
Now if you also take this one from me and
harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to
Sheol in sorrow.’
Now therefore when I
come to thy servant my father, and the
lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the
lad’s life;
So if the boy is not with us when I return to your servant, and if my father, whose life is
wrapped up in the boy’s life,
It shall
come to pass, when he
seeth that the
lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hair of your servant our father down to
Sheol in sorrow.
For how shall I go up to my father, and the
lad be not with me? lest
peradventure I see the evil that shall
come on my father.
For how can I go back to my father without the boy? I could not bear to see the misery that would
overwhelm him.”
And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt:
come down unto me,
tarry not:
Now return quickly to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay.
And there will I
nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast,
come to poverty.
And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will
come to
destitution.’

And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

So the sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had
instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and
shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, which were in the land of
Canaan, are
come unto me;

Canaan have
come to me.
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
When Pharaoh
summons you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are
come out of the land of
Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of
Goshen.
So Joseph went and told Pharaoh: “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all they own, have
come from the land of
Canaan and are now in
Goshen.”
They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to
sojourn in the land are we
come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is
sore in the land of
Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of
Goshen.
Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have
come to live in the land for a time, because there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, since the famine in the land of
Canaan has been severe. So now, please allow your servants to settle in the land of
Goshen.”
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,
And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of
Rameses, as Pharaoh had
commanded.
So Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of
Rameses, as Pharaoh had
commanded.
And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
At harvest time, you are to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours as seed for the field and food for
yourselves and your households and children.”

come to you,” Israel

And as for me, when I came from Padan,
Rachel died by me in the land of
Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to
come unto
Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of
Ephrath; the same is
Bethlehem.
Now as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, to my sorrow
Rachel died along the way in the land of
Canaan, some distance from
Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to
Ephrath” (that is,
Bethlehem).
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather
yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall
befall you in the last days.
Then Jacob called for his sons and said, “Gather around so that I can tell you what will happen to you in the days to come:
Gather
yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and
hearken unto Israel your father.
Come together and
listen, O sons of Jacob;
listen to your father Israel.
O my soul,
come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they
slew a man, and in their selfwill they
digged down a wall.
May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For they kill men in their anger, and
hamstring oxen on a
whim.
The
sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a
lawgiver from between his feet, until
Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
The
scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the staff from between his feet, until
Shiloh comes and the allegiance of the nations is his.
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
When Jacob had finished
instructing his sons, he pulled his feet into the bed and breathed his last, and he was gathered to his people.
And Joseph
commanded his servants the physicians to
embalm his father: and the physicians
embalmed Israel.
And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to
embalm his father Israel. So they
embalmed him,
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are
embalmed: and the Egyptians
mourned for him
threescore and ten days.
taking the forty days required to
complete the
embalming. And the Egyptians
mourned for him seventy days.
My father made me
swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have
digged for me in the land of
Canaan, there shalt thou
bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and
bury my father, and I will
come again.
my father made me
swear an oath when he said, ‘I am about to die. You must
bury me in the tomb that I
dug for myself in the land of
Canaan.’ Now let me go and
bury my father, and then return.”
And there went up with him both
chariots and
horsemen: and it was a very great
company.
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.
And they sent a
messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did
command before he died, saying,
So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,
Now therefore fear ye not: I will
nourish you, and your little ones. And he
comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph
reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.
Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
Come, let us deal
shrewdly with them, or they will increase even more; and if a war breaks out, they may join our enemies, fight against us, and leave the country.”
But the
midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt
commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
The
midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had
instructed; they let the boys live.
And the
midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered
ere the
midwives come in unto them.
The
midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before a
midwife arrives.”
And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
Then Pharaoh commanded all his people: “Every son born to the Hebrews you must throw into the Nile, but every daughter you may allow to live.”
And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the
babe wept. And she had
compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the little boy was crying. So she had
compassion on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrew children.”
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews
strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early
today?”
And he said, Draw not
nigh hither: put off thy
shoes from off thy feet, for the place
whereon thou standest is holy ground.
“Do not
come any closer,” God said. “Take off your
sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
And I am
come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the
Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is
come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians
oppress them.
And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are
oppressing them.
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”
And they shall
hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt
come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we
beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
The elders of Israel will
listen to what you say, and you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’
And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him.
And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
And I will grant this people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that when you leave, you will not go away empty-handed.
And it shall
come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither
hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
And the LORD said, “If they refuse to believe you or
heed the witness of the first sign, they may believe that of the second.
And it shall
come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither
hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
But if they do not believe even these two signs or
listen to your voice, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. Then the water you take from the Nile will become blood on the ground.”
And the anger of the LORD was
kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the
Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he
cometh forth to meet thee: and when he
seeth thee, he will be
glad in his heart.
Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, “Is not Aaron the
Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well, and he is now on his way to meet you. When he sees you, he will be
glad in his heart.
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
And Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and all the signs He had commanded him to perform.
And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
That same day Pharaoh
commanded the taskmasters of the people and their
foremen:
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.
And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s
brink against he
come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a
snake.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD
commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and
smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood.
