Esau, when ye find
him.

instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet
Esau, you are to say the same thing to
him.
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will
appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face;
peradventure he will accept of me.
You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will
appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face
him, and perhaps he will accept me.”

him: and
himself lodged that night in the company.

rebuked him, and said unto
him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
He told his father and brothers, but his father
rebuked him and said, “What is this dream that you have had? Will your mother and brothers and I actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”

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.

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

a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
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.
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!”

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.

him into this pit in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on
him.”

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.
Then there passed by Midianites
merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
So when the Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold
him for twenty shekels of silver to the
Ishmaelites, who took
him to Egypt.

devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

robe! A
vicious animal has
devoured him. Joseph has surely been
torn to pieces!”

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
wept for
him.

him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said. “I will go down to

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.
And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he
slew him also.
What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
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, What
pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy
signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by

slept with her, and she became
pregnant by
him.

him, and that the LORD made all that he did to

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.
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.
And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not
concern himself with anything except the food he
ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
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 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 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 spake unto
him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to
mock me:
Then she told
him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make
sport of me,
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.
And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,
But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
the LORD was with
him and extended kindness to
him, granting
him favor in the eyes of the prison
warden.
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.
The
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.

downcast today?”
And they said unto
him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no
interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to
interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
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 Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
Yet did not the chief
butler remember Joseph, but
forgat him.
The chief
cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he
forgot all about
him.
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.
In the morning 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.
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.
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and
him he
hanged.
And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was
hanged.”
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.
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man
discreet and wise, and set
him over the land of Egypt.
Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a
discerning and wise man and set
him over 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 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;
Then Pharaoh removed the
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 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.

And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of
Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto
him.

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 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.
