circumcised among you, every
man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

man’s wife.

Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”

damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any
man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

girl was very beautiful, a virgin who had not had relations with any
man. She went down to the spring, filled her
jar, and came up again.

earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of
Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the
man unto me; that he came unto the
man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard
Rebekah’s words, “The
man said this to me,” he went and found the
man standing by the camels near the spring.

man came into the house: and he
ungirded his camels, and gave straw and

man. So the servant took
Rebekah and left.

man in the field coming to meet us?” “It is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her
veil and covered herself.

womb, and two
manner of people shall be separated from thy
bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”

man who stayed at home.

man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines
envied him.

many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines
envied him.

Rebekah his mother, Behold,
Esau my brother is a
hairy man, and I am a smooth
man:

man:
abide with me.
Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”

Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found
mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then
Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s
mandrakes.
Now during the wheat harvest,
Reuben went out and found some
mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother,
Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s
mandrakes.”
And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s
mandrakes also? And
Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son’s
mandrakes.
But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s
mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said
Rachel, “he may sleep with you
tonight in exchange for your son’s
mandrakes.”
And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have
hired thee with my son’s
mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have
hired you with my son’s
mandrakes.” So he
slept with her that night.
For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
And the
man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and
asses.
Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and
donkeys.
If thou shalt
afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no
man is with us; see, God is witness
betwixt me and thee.

And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this

Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.

wrestled with him.

bless me.
Then the
man said, “Let me go, for it is
daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you
bless me.”
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:

uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.
And the young
man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
The young
man, who was the most respected of all his father’s household, did not
hesitate to
fulfill this request, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.

So when Joseph came to his brothers, they
stripped him of his
robe—the
robe of
many colors he was wearing—

signet, and bracelets, and staff.
As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am
