Rachel? wherefore then hast thou
beguiled me?

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?”
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come,
when it shall come for my
hire before thy face: every one that is not
speckled and
spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted
stolen with me.
So my
honesty will
testify for me
when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not
speckled or
spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered
stolen.”

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.
But
when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were
Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to
Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which
leaped upon the cattle were
ringstraked,
speckled, and
grisled.

streaked,
spotted, and
speckled males were mating with the females.

And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother
Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother
Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him.”
And he commanded the foremost, saying,
When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and
whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
He
instructed the one in the lead, “
When my brother
Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto
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.

graciously given thy servant.

graciously given your servant.”

fury, because

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.

Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you
when you fled from your brother
Esau.”

bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.

These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the
lad was with the sons of
Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
This is the account of Jacob.
When Joseph was seventeen years old, he was tending the flock with his brothers, the sons of his father’s wives
Bilhah and Zilpah, and he brought their father a bad report about them.
And
when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they
hated him, and could not speak
peaceably unto him.
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they
hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they
hated him yet the more.
Then Joseph had a dream, and
when he told it to his brothers, they
hated him even more.

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,

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.

rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.

Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.

When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he
tore his clothes,

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.

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.

pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.

When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said,
Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the
signet, and bracelets, and staff.
As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am
pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added, “Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?”

travail, that, behold, twins were in her

graze among the reeds.

interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to
interpret it.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can
interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that
when you hear a dream you can
interpret it.”
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven
kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a
meadow:
when seven cows, well-fed and
sleek, came up from the river and began to
graze among the reeds.
And
when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I
awoke.
When they had
devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as
ugly as it had been before. Then I
awoke.
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.

And
when all the land of Egypt was
famished, the people
cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people
cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed
sore in the land of Egypt.

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 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.”

emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s
bundle of money was in his
sack: and

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 it came to pass,
when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again,
buy us a little food.
So
when Jacob’s sons had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go back and
buy us a little more food.”

when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and

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.

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 he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin’s
mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they
drank, and were
merry with him.
When the portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times larger than any of the others. So they feasted and
drank freely with Joseph.
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?

When the
steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.

torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
When one of them was gone, I said: “Surely he has been
torn to pieces.” And I have not seen him since.
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,
It shall come to pass,
when he
seeth that the
lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hair of your servant our father down to
Sheol in sorrow.
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.
