rebel, you will
tear his yoke
from your neck.”
Until thy brother’s anger turn away
from thee, and he
forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and
fetch thee
from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
until your brother’s
rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back
from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”

And Jacob went out
from Beer-
sheba, and went toward
Haran.
And he lighted upon a certain place, and
tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his
pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
On reaching a certain place, he spent the night there because the sun had set. And taking one of the stones from that place, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well. And a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in his place.
When all the flocks had been gathered there, the
shepherds would roll away the stone
from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of
Haran are we.
“My brothers,” Jacob asked the
shepherds, “where are you
from?” “We are
from Haran,” they answered.
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
But they replied, “We cannot, until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw
Rachel the daughter of
Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of
Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone
from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of
Laban his mother’s brother.
As soon as Jacob saw
Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother
Laban, with
Laban’s sheep, he went up and rolled the stone away
from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.
Jacob became
angry with
Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has
withheld children
from you?”
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.
I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing
from thence all the
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.
And he set the rods which he had
pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
Then he set the
peeled branches in the watering troughs in
front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
And it came to pass,
whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
And Jacob
beheld the countenance of
Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
And Jacob saw
from the countenance of
Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
and he told them, “I can see from your father’s countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; but the God of my father has been with me.
I am the God of
Bethel, where thou anointedst the
pillar, and where thou vowedst a
vow unto me: now arise, get thee out
from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
I am the God of
Bethel, where you
anointed the
pillar and made a solemn
vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”
For all the riches which God hath taken
from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then,
whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
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?
Why did you run away secretly and
deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.
And Jacob answered and said to
Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said,
Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters
from me.
“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
That which was
torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand
didst thou require it, whether
stolen by day, or
stolen by night.
I did not bring you anything
torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment
from me for what was
stolen by day or night.
Thus I was; in the day the
drought consumed me, and the
frost by night; and my sleep departed
from mine eyes.
As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the
frost by night, and sleep fled
from my eyes.
And
Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one
from another.
It was also called
Mizpah, because
Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent
from each other.
Deliver me, I pray thee,
from the hand of my brother,
from the hand of
Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and
smite me, and the mother with the children.
Please deliver me
from the hand of my brother
Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.
And he
lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for
Esau his brother;
Jacob spent the night there, and
from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother
Esau:
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and
Rachel and Joseph
hindermost.
He put the maidservants and their children in
front, Leah and her children next, and
Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
And Jacob said,
Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou
wast pleased with me.
But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift
from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me
favorably.
And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of
Shechem, which is in the land of
Canaan, when he came
from Padan-
aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
After Jacob had come
from Paddan-
aram, he arrived safely at the city of
Shechem in the land of
Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
And he bought a
parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor,
Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased
from the sons of Hamor,
Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were
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 God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to
Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest
from the face of
Esau thy brother.
Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to
Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled
from your brother
Esau.”
And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-
bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled
from his brother.
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-
aram, and blessed him.
After Jacob had returned
from Paddan-
aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
And God said unto him, I am God
Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
And God told him, “I am God
Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come
from you, and kings shall descend
from you.
And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.

Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of
Canaan; and went into the country
from the face of his brother Jacob.
Later,
Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the people of his household, along with his
livestock, all his other animals, and all the property he had acquired in
Canaan, and he moved to a land far away
from his brother Jacob.
And these are the sons of Reuel

Esau’s wife.

And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the
vale of
Hebron, and he came to
Shechem.
Then Israel told him, “Go now and see how your brothers and the flocks are faring, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him off
from the Valley of
Hebron. And when Joseph arrived in
Shechem,
And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
“They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
And
Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
When
Reuben heard this, he tried to
rescue Joseph
from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.
And
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.
“Do not shed his blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him.”
Reuben said this so that he could
rescue Joseph
from their hands and return him to his father.

And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

And she put her widow’s garments off
from her, and covered her with a
vail, and
wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
she removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a
veil to
disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
And he said, I will send thee a
kid from the flock. And she said,
Wilt thou give me a
pledge, till thou send it?
“I will send you a young goat
from my flock,” Judah answered. But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a
pledge until you send it.”
And she arose, and went away, and laid by her
vail from her, and put on the garments of her
widowhood.
Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her
veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
And Judah sent the
kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his
pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.
Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.

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.
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?”
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.”

from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and

buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.”
