whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren
discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that
Rachel had
stolen them.
If you find your gods with
anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives,
see for
yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that
Rachel had
stolen the idols.
Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath
seen mine
affliction and the labour of my hands, and
rebuked thee
yesternight.

seen my
affliction and the
toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”
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?

afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us;

appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will
see his face;

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.

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.

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 Onan knew that the
seed should not be 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.

sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I
screamed as loud as I could.

see if our land is
vulnerable.”

wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not
see my face, except your brother be with you.
But if you will not send him, we will not go; for the man told us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’”
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may
seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for
bondmen, and our
asses.
But the brothers were
frightened that they had been taken to Joseph’s house. “We have been brought here because of the silver that was returned in our bags the first time,” they said. “They intend to overpower us and take us as slaves, along with our
donkeys.”

But we answered, ‘We cannot go down there unless our younger brother goes with us. So if our younger brother is not with us, we cannot see the man.’
