speckled and
spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the
spotted and
speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my
hire.
Let me go through all your flocks
today and remove from them
every speckled or
spotted sheep,
every dark-colored lamb, and
every spotted or
speckled goat. These will be my wages.
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my
hire before thy face:
every one that is not
speckled and
spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted
stolen with me.
So my
honesty will
testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not
speckled or
spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered
stolen.”
And he removed that day the he goats that were

That very day
Laban removed all the
streaked or
spotted male goats and
every speckled or
spotted female goat—
every one that had any white on it—and
every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
Wherefore
didst thou
flee away secretly, and
steal away from me; and
didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with
mirth, and with songs, with
tabret, and with
harp?

deceive me, without
even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.

kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done
foolishly in so doing.

And
Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
But
Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks!
Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do
today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?

But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are
frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are
nursing their young. If they are driven hard for
even a day, all the animals will die.
But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that
every male of you be
circumcised;
We will consent to this on one condition, that you become
circumcised like us—
every one of your males.
Only
herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if
every male among us be
circumcised, as they are
circumcised.
But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are
circumcised as they are.
Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
Will not their
livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were
sore, that two of the sons of Jacob,
Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and
slew all the males.
Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers
Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the
unsuspecting city, and slaughtered
every male.
They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their
asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
They took their flocks and herds and
donkeys, and
everything else in the city or in the field.
And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they
captive, and
spoiled even all that was in the house.
They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they
plundered everything in their houses.

pillar in the place where he talked with him,
even a

anointed it with oil.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they
hated him yet the more.
Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they
hated him
even more.
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they
hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
“Do you intend to reign over us?” his brothers asked. “Will you actually rule us?” So they
hated him
even more because of his dream and his statements.
And when they saw him
afar off,
even before he came near unto them, they
conspired against him to
slay him.
Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they
plotted to kill him.
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him
overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal
attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with
everything he owned.
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him
overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.
But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master
wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not
concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted
everything he owns to my care.
And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he
hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
For indeed I was
stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the
dungeon.
For I was
kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and
even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this
dungeon.”
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.
And the seven years of
dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the
dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to
buy corn; because that the famine was so
sore in all lands.
And
every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to
buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
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.
Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to return each man’s silver to his
sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out,
And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is
even in my
sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
“My silver has been returned!” he said to his brothers. “It is here in my
sack.” Their hearts
sank, and
trembling, they turned to one another and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”
And it came to pass as they
emptied their sacks, that, 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.
As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man’s
sack was his
bag of silver! And when they and their father saw the bags of silver, they were dismayed.
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye
bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and
Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my sons. Joseph is gone and
Simeon is no more. Now you want to take Benjamin.
Everything is going against me!”
I will be
surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the
blame for
ever:
I will
guarantee his safety. You may hold me personally responsible. If I do not bring him back and set him before you, then may I bear the guilt before you all my life.
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold,
every man’s money was in the mouth of his
sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
But when we came to the place we
lodged for the night, we opened our sacks and, behold, each of us found his silver in the mouth of his
sack! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.
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.
Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of
Canaan: how then should we
steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
We
even brought back to you from the land of
Canaan the silver we found in the mouths of our sacks. Why would we
steal silver or gold from your master’s house?
Then they speedily took down
every man his
sack to the ground, and opened
every man his
sack.
So each one quickly lowered his
sack to the ground and opened it.
Then they rent their clothes, and
laded every man his
ass, and returned to the city.
Then they all
tore their clothes, loaded their
donkeys, and returned to the city.
Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
Then Judah approached Joseph and said, “Sir, please let your servant speak personally to my lord. Do not be
angry with your servant, for you are equal to Pharaoh himself.
For thy servant became
surety for the
lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the
blame to my father for
ever.
Indeed, your servant
guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’
Then Joseph could not
refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he
cried, Cause
every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he
cried out, “Send
everyone away from me!” So none of them were with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.
And thou shalt dwell in the land of
Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
You shall settle in the land of
Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and
everything you own.
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 ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall
haste and bring down my father
hither.
Tell my father about all my
splendor in Egypt and
everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
These are the sons of Zilpah, whom
Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob,
even sixteen souls.
These are the sons of Jacob born to Zilpah—whom
Laban gave to his daughter Leah—sixteen in all.
That ye shall say, Thy servants’ trade hath been about cattle from our youth
even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of
Goshen; for
every shepherd is an
abomination unto the Egyptians.
you are to say, ‘Your servants have raised
livestock ever since our youth—both we and our fathers.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of
Goshen, since all
shepherds are
detestable to the Egyptians.”
And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s.
So Joseph acquired for Pharaoh all the land in Egypt; the Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields because the famine was so severe upon them. The land became Pharaoh’s,
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
and Joseph reduced the people to
servitude from one end of Egypt to the other.
And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an
everlasting possession.
and told me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you; I will make you a multitude of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you as an
everlasting possession.’
Joseph is a fruitful
bough,
even a fruitful
bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
Joseph is a fruitful vine— a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall.
Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the
Almighty, who shall
bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the
womb:
by the God of your father who helps you, and by the
Almighty who blesses you, with blessings of the heavens above, with blessings of the depths below, with blessings of the breasts and
womb.
The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the
everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
The blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of the ancient mountains and the
bounty of the
everlasting hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the
brow of the prince of his brothers.
Benjamin shall
ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall
devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the
spoil.
Benjamin is a
ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the
evening he divides the
plunder.”
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
These are the tribes of Israel, twelve in all, and this was what their father said to them. He blessed them, and he blessed each one with a suitable blessing.
Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
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.”
And they made their lives bitter with hard
bondage, in
morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar, and with all kinds of work in the fields. Every service they imposed was harsh.

even more numerous.

shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
“An Egyptian
rescued us from the
shepherds,” they replied. “He
even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of
Midian: and he led the flock to the
backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God,
even to
Horeb.
Meanwhile, Moses was
shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of
Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to
Horeb, the mountain of God.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for
ever, and this is my
memorial unto all generations.
God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name
forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in
every generation.
But
every woman shall
borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall
spoil the Egyptians.
Every woman shall ask her
neighbor and any woman staying in her house for silver and gold
jewelry and clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will
plunder the Egyptians.”
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 he shall be thy
spokesman unto the people: and he shall be,
even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
He will speak to the people for you. He will be your
spokesman, and it will be as if you were God to him.
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son,
even my
firstborn:
Then tell Pharaoh that this is what the LORD says: ‘Israel is My
firstborn son,
And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will
slay thy son,
even thy
firstborn.
and I told you to let My son go so that he may worship Me. But since you have refused to let him go, behold, I will kill your
firstborn son!’”
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 Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
and Aaron relayed everything the LORD had said to Moses. And Moses performed the signs before the people,
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and You have not delivered Your people in any way.”
That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”
For they cast down
every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod
swallowed up their rods.
Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff
swallowed up the other staffs.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”
Else, if thou
wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of
flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of
flies, and also the ground
whereon they are.
But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of
flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and
even the ground where they stand will be full of
flies.
Behold, to
morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof
even until now.
Behold, at this time
tomorrow I will rain down the worst
hail that has
ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.
Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon
every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the
hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
So give orders now to shelter your
livestock and
everything you have in the field.
Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the
hail comes down upon them.’”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be
hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon
every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that
hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and
every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.”
So there was
hail, and fire mingled with the
hail, very
grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
The
hail fell and the
lightning continued
flashing through it. The
hail was so severe that nothing like it had
ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.
And the
hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the
hail smote every herb of the field, and
brake every tree of the field.
Throughout the land of Egypt, the
hail struck down
everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down
every plant of the field and
stripped every tree.
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the
hail, and shall eat
every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will
devour whatever is left after the
hail and eat
every tree that grows in your fields.
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
Then Pharaoh told them, “May the LORD be with you if I ever let you go with your little ones. Clearly you are bent on evil.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat
every herb of the land,
even all that the
hail hath left.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, so that the locusts may
swarm over it and
devour every plant in the land—
everything that the
hail has left behind.”
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was
darkened; and they did eat
every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
They covered the face of all the land until it was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the
hail had left behind. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a
palpable darkness.”
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an
hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
Even our
livestock must go with us; not a
hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let
every man
borrow of his neighbour, and
every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
Now
announce to the people that men and women alike should ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”
and
every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the
firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, to the
firstborn of the servant
girl behind the hand mill, as well as the
firstborn of all the cattle.
But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD
doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
But among all the Israelites, not
even a dog will
snarl at man or beast.’ Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest
neighbor based on the number of people, and
apportion the lamb accordingly.
And ye shall keep it up until the
fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
evening.
You must keep it until the
fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at
twilight.
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will
smite all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will
execute judgment: I am the LORD.
On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down
every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will
execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
And this day shall be unto you for a
memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an
ordinance for
ever.
And this day will be a
memorial for you, and you are to
celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come.
Seven days shall ye eat
unleavened bread;
even the first day ye shall put away
leaven out of your houses: for
whosoever eateth
leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
For seven days you must eat
unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the
leaven from your houses.
Whoever eats anything
leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
And in the first day there shall be an holy
convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy
convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which
every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals—that is all you may do.
