slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath

devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of
his dreams!”

When
Reuben heard this, he tried to
rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take
his life,” he said.

Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to
his father again.

his brethren, What profit is it if we

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.

his clothes.

his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I,
whither shall I go?

mourning. Thus

And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
And Judah took a wife for Er
his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
Now Judah acquired a wife for Er,
his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto
his brother’s wife, that he
spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to
his brother.
But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with
his brother’s wife, he would
spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for
his brother.
Then said Judah to Tamar
his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest
peradventure he die also, as
his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.

mourning, he and
his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to
his sheepshearers at Timnah.

shear his sheep.
When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to
shear his sheep,”
And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me 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 in unto me?
Not
realizing that she was
his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.

kid by the hand of
his friend the Adullamite, to receive

travailed, that the one put out
his hand: and the
midwife took and bound upon
his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first,

his hand; so the
midwife took a scarlet thread and
tied it around
his wrist. “This one came out first,” she
announced.

But when he pulled
his hand back and
his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named
Perez.
And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
Then
his brother came out with the scarlet thread around
his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
And
his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to
prosper in
his hand.
When
his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him
prosper in all he did,
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.

and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
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.
There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
No one in this house is greater than I am. He has
withheld nothing from me except you, because you are
his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”
And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
She
grabbed Joseph by
his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving
his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
When she saw that he had left
his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and
cried, that he left
his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
When he heard me
scream for help, he left
his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s
cloak beside her until
his master came home.
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and
cried, that he left
his garment with me, and fled out.
but when I
screamed for help, he left
his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
And it came to pass, when
his master heard the words of
his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that
his wrath was
kindled.
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under
his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to
prosper.

warden did not
concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
And it came to pass after these things, that the
butler of the king of Egypt and
his baker had
offended their lord the king of Egypt.
And Pharaoh was
wroth against two of
his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man
his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of
his dream, the
butler and the
baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
both of these men—the Egyptian king’s
cupbearer and
baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of
his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so
sadly to day?
So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in
custody with him in
his master’s house, “Why are your faces so
downcast today?”
And the chief
butler told
his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
So the chief
cupbearer told Joseph
his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes,
squeezed them into
his cup, and placed the cup in
his hand.”
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into
his hand, after the former manner when thou
wast his butler.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in
his hand, just as you did when you were
his cupbearer.
And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s
birthday, that he made a feast unto all
his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief
butler and of the chief
baker among
his servants.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s
birthday, he held a feast for all
his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief
cupbearer and the chief
baker.

butler unto
his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:
Pharaoh restored the chief
cupbearer to
his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
But he
hanged the chief
baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
But Pharaoh
hanged the chief
baker, just as Joseph had described to them in
his interpretation.
And it came to pass in the morning that
his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them
his dream; but there was none that could
interpret them unto Pharaoh.

his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them
his dreams, but no one could
interpret them for him.
Pharaoh was
wroth with
his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief
baker:
Pharaoh was once
angry with
his servants, and he put me and the chief
baker in the
custody of the captain of the guard.
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
One night both the chief
baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to
his dream he did
interpret.
Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him
hastily out of the
dungeon: and he
shaved himself, and changed
his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the
dungeon. After he had
shaved and changed
his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find
anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”
And Pharaoh took off
his ring from
his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and
arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about
his neck;

signet ring from
his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around
his neck.
And he made him to
ride in the second
chariot which he had; and they
cried before him, Bow the
knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
He had Joseph
ride in
his second
chariot, with men calling out before him, “Bow the
knee!” So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot.”
And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of
Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.
Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?”
But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with
his brethren; for he said, Lest
peradventure mischief
befall him.
But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with
his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that
harm might
befall him.”
And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
Now Joseph was the ruler of the land; he was the one who sold grain to all its people. So when his brothers arrived, they bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.
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.
And when Joseph saw
his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. “Where have you come from?” he asked. “From the land of
Canaan,” they replied. “We are here to
buy food.”
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
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 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.
Then they said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw
his anguish when he
pleaded with us, but we would not
listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
And
Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also
his blood is required.
And
Reuben responded, “Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you would not
listen. Now we must account for
his blood!”
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 as one of them opened
his sack to give
his ass provender in the inn, he
espied his money; for, behold, it was in
his sack’s mouth.
At the place where they
lodged for the night, one of them opened
his sack to get feed for
his donkey, and he saw
his silver in the mouth of the
sack.
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
Reuben spake unto
his father, saying,
Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
Then
Reuben said to
his father, “You may kill my two sons if I fail to bring him back to you. Put him in my care, and I will return him.”
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.”
And Judah said unto Israel
his father, Send the
lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
And Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and we will go at once, so that we may live and not die—neither we, nor you, nor our children.
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 when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of
his house, Bring these men home, and
slay, and make ready; for these men shall
dine with me at
noon.
When Joseph saw Benjamin with
his brothers, he said to the
steward of
his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for they shall
dine with me at
noon.”
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 lifted up
his eyes, and saw
his brother Benjamin,
his mother’s son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be
gracious unto thee, my son.
When Joseph looked up and saw
his brother Benjamin,
his own mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” Then he declared, “May God be
gracious to you, my son.”
And Joseph made
haste; for
his bowels did
yearn upon
his brother: and he sought where to
weep; and he entered into
his chamber, and
wept there.
Joseph
hurried out because he was moved to tears for
his brother, and he went to a private room to
weep.
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 they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an
abomination unto the Egyptians.
They separately served Joseph,
his brothers, and the Egyptians. They
ate separately because the Egyptians would not eat with the Hebrews, since that was
detestable to them.
And they sat before him, the
firstborn according to
his birthright, and the youngest according to
his youth: and the men
marvelled one at another.
They were seated before Joseph in order by age, from the
firstborn to the youngest, and the men looked at one another in
astonishment.
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 put my cup, the silver cup, in the
sack’s mouth of the youngest, and
his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s
sack, along with the silver for
his grain.” So the
steward did as Joseph had
instructed.
And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto
his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou
dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
They had not gone far from the city when Joseph told
his steward, “Pursue the men at once, and when you overtake them, ask, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?
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.
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
When Judah and his brothers arrived at Joseph’s house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
And we answered, ‘We have an elderly father and a younger brother, the child of his old age. The boy’s brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’
And we said unto my lord, The
lad cannot leave
his father: for if he should leave
his father,
his father would die.
So we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’
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,
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
abide instead of the
lad a
bondman to my lord; and let the
lad go up with
his brethren.
Now please let your servant stay here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy. Let him return with his brothers.
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 Joseph said unto
his brethren, I am Joseph;
doth my father yet live? And
his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at
his presence.
Joseph said to
his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But they were unable to answer him, because they were
terrified in
his presence.
