Genesis contains a creation story of the Earth and the first 2 people, Adam and Eve, and their incestuous (and murderous) family. It describes a version of the ancient Flood story where God, or the Gods, flood the Earth or at least a large portion of it, drowning all living creatures including all animals, men, women, children, infants, but saving Noah and his immediate family. Another period of incestuous family relations afterwards ensues. Genesis then tells the story of the patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, each of which acted sometimes as immoral tyrant and sometimes as holy spokesperson. They all end up, according to these stories, in Egypt, although historical evidence is clear that most Hebrews continued to live in their homeland. Genesis was written and edited by various authors from between the 10th and 6th century BCE, and some scholars believe it wasn't completely written until as late as the 2nd century BCE1.
The Five Books of Moses are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Together they are called the Pentateuch. It has been apparent for quite a while that these books were not written by Moses; for example, the text uses place names "that dated from hundreds of years after the time of Moses"2. Archaeological and historical evidence shows that these five books were primarily composed in the 7th century BCE. Finkelstein & Silberman explain that the evidence is that "the Deuteronomistic History was written in the days of King Josiah, to serve his religious ideology and territorial ambitions, and ... was finished and edited a few decades later in exile. ... The geographical and ethnic details of both the patriarchal origin stories and the Exodus liberation story bear the hallmarks of having been composed in the seventh century BCE"3. These five scrolls did not start out as being considered the holy word of god. They were modified and moulded over hundreds of years by various editors4 - although Christian tradition fiercely fought for them to be considered to be the works of Moses, this is clearly not the case. "The Pentateuch [was] considered to be canonical by the time of Ezra and Nehemiah in the fifth century BC"4.
Genesis 3 continues the story of Adam and Eve. After warning Adam not to eat from the Tree of Life, but forgetting to warn Eve, God allows the serpent, which many say is Satan, to roam the Garden of Eden and talk to Eve. It convinces her to eat of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as, without that knowledge and without having been warned by God, Eve cannot understand that the Serpent is evilly tricking her. Next to Eve is her "husband by her side", but he gives no objections, and simply accepts the fruit when she gives him one. It is a quite confusing story with some dubious morals (Adam and Eve are horribly punished forever, along with all their non-guilty descendents), but the story makes more sense once you explore the historical myths surrounding the serpent.

| 2 | And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. | and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground. | |
| 3 | And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. | And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah; | |
| 4 | And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: | and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present, | |
| 5 | But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. | and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen. | |
| 6 | And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? | And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen? | |
| 7 | If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. | Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.' | |
| 8 | And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. | And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, ``Let us go into the field;'' and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him. | |
| 9 | And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? | And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Where `is' Abel thy brother?' and he saith, `I have not known; my brother's keeper -- I?' | |
| 10 | And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. | And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground; | |
| 11 | And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; | and now, cursed `art' thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand; | |
| 12 | When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. | when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.' | |
| 13 | And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. | And Cain saith unto Jehovah, `Greater is my punishment than to be borne; | |
| 14 | Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. | lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every one finding me doth slay me.' | |
| 15 | And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. | And Jehovah saith to him, `Therefore -- of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him. | |
| 16 | And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. | And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden; | |
| 17 | And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. | and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of the city, according to the name of his son -- Enoch. | |
| 18 | And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. | And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech. | |

| 20 | And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. | And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions; | |
| 21 | And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. | and the name of his brother `is' Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ. | |
| 22 | And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. | And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain `is' Naamah. | |
| 23 | And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. | And Lamech saith to his wives: -- `Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear `to' my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt; | |
| 24 | If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. | For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.' | |
| 25 | And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. | And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, `for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him. | |
| 26 | And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. | And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the name of Jehovah. |

| 2 | And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. | and Abraham saith concerning Sarah his wife, `She is my sister;' and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth and taketh Sarah. | |
| 3 | But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. | And God cometh in unto Abimelech in a dream of the night, and saith to him, `Lo, thou `art' a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken -- and she married to a husband.' | |
| 4 | But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? | And Abimelech hath not drawn near unto her, and he saith, `Lord, also a righteous nation dost thou slay? | |
| 5 | Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. | hath not he himself said to me, She `is' my sister! and she, even she herself, said, He `is' my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocency of my hands, I have done this.' | |
| 6 | And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. | And God saith unto him in the dream, `Yea, I -- I have known that in the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I withhold thee, even I, from sinning against Me, therefore I have not suffered thee to come against her; | |
| 7 | Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. | and now send back the man's wife, for he `is' inspired, and he doth pray for thee, and live thou; and if thou do not send back, know that dying thou dost die, thou, and all that thou hast.' | |
| 8 | Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. | And Abimelech riseth early in the morning, and calleth for all his servants, and speaketh all these words in their ears; and the men fear exceedingly; | |
| 9 | Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. | and Abimelech calleth for Abraham, and saith to him, `What hast thou done to us? and what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me, and upon my kingdom, a great sin? works which are not done thou hast done with me.' | |
| 10 | And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? | Abimelech also saith unto Abraham, `What hast thou seen that thou hast done this thing?' | |
| 11 | And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. | And Abraham saith, `Because I said, `Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife; | |
| 12 | And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. | and also, truly she is my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becometh my wife; | |
| 13 | And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. | and it cometh to pass, when God hath caused me to wander from my father's house, that I say to her, This `is' thy kindness which thou dost with me: at every place whither we come, say of me, He `is' my brother.' | |
| 14 | And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. | And Abimelech taketh sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and giveth to Abraham, and sendeth back to him Sarah his wife; | |

| 17 | So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. | And Abraham prayeth unto God, and God healeth Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear: | |
| 18 | For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife. | for Jehovah restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. |

| 2 | And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: | And Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith, `Go not down towards Egypt, tabernacle in the land concerning which I speak unto thee, | |
| 3 | Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; | sojourn in this land, and I am with thee, and bless thee, for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to Abraham thy father; | |
| 4 | And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; | and I have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth; | |
| 5 | Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. | because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.' | |
| 6 | And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: | And Isaac dwelleth in Gerar; | |
| 7 | And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. | and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, `She `is' my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, `My wife -- lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she `is' of good appearance.' | |
| 8 | And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. | And it cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is playing with Rebekah his wife. | |
| 9 | And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. | And Abimelech calleth for Isaac, and saith, `Lo, she `is' surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She `is' my sister?' and Isaac saith unto him, `Because I said, Lest I die for her.' | |
| 10 | And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. | And Abimelech saith, `What `is' this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;' | |
| 11 | And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. | and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, `He who cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.' | |
| 12 | Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. | And Isaac soweth in that land, and findeth in that year a hundredfold, and Jehovah blesseth him; | |
| 13 | And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: | and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming great, till that he hath been very great, | |

| 17 | And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. | and Isaac goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley of Gerar, and dwelleth there; | |
| 18 | And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. | and Isaac turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth to them names according to the names which his father called them. | |
| 19 | And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. | And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find there a well of living water, | |
| 20 | And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. | and shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, `The water `is' ours;' and he calleth the name of the well `Strife,' because they have striven habitually with him; | |
| 21 | And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. | and they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calleth its name `Hatred.' | |
| 22 | And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. | And he removeth from thence, and diggeth another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calleth its name Enlargements, and saith, `For -- now hath Jehovah given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.' | |
| 23 | And he went up from thence to Beersheba. | And he goeth up from thence `to' Beer-Sheba, | |
| 24 | And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. | and Jehovah appeareth unto him during that night, and saith, `I `am' the God of Abraham thy father, fear not, for I `am' with thee, and have blessed thee, and have multiplied thy seed, because of Abraham My servant;' | |
| 25 | And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well. | and he buildeth there an altar, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah, and stretcheth out there his tent, and there Isaac's servants dig a well. | |
| 26 | Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. | And Abimelech hath gone unto him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host; | |
| 27 | And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? | and Isaac saith unto them, `Wherefore have ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and ye send me away from you?' | |
| 28 | And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; | And they say, `We have certainly seen that Jehovah hath been with thee, and we say, `Let there be, we pray thee, an oath between us, between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; | |
| 29 | That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD. | do not evil with us, as we have not touched thee, and as we have only done good with thee, and send thee away in peace; thou `art' now blessed of Jehovah.' | |
| 30 | And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. | And he maketh for them a banquet, and they eat and drink, | |
| 31 | And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. | and rise early in the morning, and swear one to another, and Isaac sendeth them away, and they go from him in peace. | |
| 32 | And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water. | And it cometh to pass during that day that Isaac's servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have digged, and say to him, `We have found water;' | |
| 33 | And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day. | and he calleth it Shebah, `oath,' therefore the name of the city `is' Beer-Sheba, `well of the oath,' unto this day. | |

| 34 | And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. | When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, `Bless me, me also, O my father;' | |

| 37 | And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son? | And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, `Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and `with' corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, my son?' | |
| 38 | And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. | And Esau saith unto his father, `One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth. | |
| 39 | And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; | And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, `Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above; | |
| 40 | And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. | and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy neck.' | |
| 41 | And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. | And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, `The days of mourning `for' my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.' | |

| 43 | Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; | and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran, | |
| 44 | And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away; | and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back, | |
| 45 | 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? | till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same day?' | |
| 46 | And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me? | And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, `I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these -- from the daughters of the land -- why do I live?' |

| 2 | 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. | and he looketh, and lo, a well in the field, and lo, there three droves of a flock crouching by it, for from that well they water the droves, and the great stone `is' on the mouth of the well. | |
| 3 | 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 thither have all the droves been gathered, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.) | |
| 4 | And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. | And Jacob saith to them, `My brethren, from whence `are' ye?' and they say, `We `are' from Haran.' | |
| 5 | And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. | And he saith to them, `Have ye known Laban, son of Nahor?' and they say, `We have known.' | |
| 6 | And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. | And he saith to them, `Hath he peace?' and they say, `Peace; and lo, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.' | |
| 7 | And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. | And he saith, `Lo, the day `is' still great, `it is' not time for the cattle to be gathered; water ye the flock, and go, delight yourselves.' | |
| 8 | 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. | And they say, `We are not able, till that all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.' | |
| 9 | And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them. | He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel hath come with the flock which her father hath, for she `is' shepherdess; | |
| 10 | 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. | and it cometh to pass when Jacob hath seen Rachel, daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the flock of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob cometh nigh and rolleth the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watereth the flock of Laban his mother's brother. | |
| 11 | And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. | And Jacob kisseth Rachel, and lifteth up his voice, and weepeth, | |
| 12 | And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father. | and Jacob declareth to Rachel that he `is' her father's brother, and that he `is' Rebekah's son, and she runneth and declareth to her father. | |
| 13 | And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. | And it cometh to pass, when Laban heareth the report of Jacob his sister's son, that he runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and kisseth him, and bringeth him in unto his house; and he recounteth to Laban all these things, | |
| 14 | And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. | and Laban saith to him, `Only my bone and my flesh `art' thou;' and he dwelleth with him a month of days. | |
| 15 | And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? | And Laban saith to Jacob, `Is it because thou `art' my brother that thou hast served me for nought? declare to me what `is' thy hire.' | |
| 16 | And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. | And Laban hath two daughters, the name of the elder `is' Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel, | |
| 17 | Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored. | and the eyes of Leah `are' tender, and Rachel hath been fair of form and fair of appearance. | |
| 18 | And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. | And Jacob loveth Rachel, and saith, `I serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter:' | |
| 19 | And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. | and Laban saith, `It is better for me to give her to thee than to give her to another man; dwell with me;' | |
| 20 | And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. | and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her. | |
| 21 | And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. | And Jacob saith unto Laban, `Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;' | |
| 22 | And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. | and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a banquet. | |
| 23 | And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. | And it cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah, his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in unto her; | |
| 24 | And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid. | and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah his daughter, a maid-servant. | |
| 25 | And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? | And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it `is' Leah; and he saith unto Laban, `What `is' this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?' | |
| 26 | And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. | And Laban saith, `It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born; | |
| 27 | Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. | fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.' | |
| 28 | And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. | And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife; | |
| 29 | And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. | and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her. | |
| 30 | And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. | And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years. | |
| 31 | And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. | And Jehovah seeth that Leah `is' the hated one, and He openeth her womb, and Rachel `is' barren; | |
| 32 | And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. | and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, `Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.' | |
| 33 | And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. | And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Because Jehovah hath heard that I `am' the hated one, He also giveth to me even this `one';' and she calleth his name Simeon. | |
| 34 | And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. | And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Now `is' the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I have born to him three sons,' therefore hath `one' called his name Levi. | |
| 35 | And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. | And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, `I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing. |

| 33 | 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. | and my righteousness hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; -- every one which is not speckled and spotted among `my' goats, and brown among `my' lambs -- it is stolen with me.' | |
| 34 | And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. | And Laban saith, `Lo, O that it were according to thy word;' | |
| 35 | And he removed that day the he goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons. | and he turneth aside during that day the ring-straked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that `hath' white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth into the hand of his sons, | |

| 38 | 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. | and setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming in to drink; | |
| 39 | And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted. | and the flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-straked, speckled, and spotted ones. | |
| 40 | And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle. | And the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-straked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock. | |
| 41 | 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. | And it hath come to pass whenever the strong ones of the flock conceive, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, to cause them to conceive by the rods, | |
| 42 | But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. | and when the flock is feeble, he doth not set `them'; and the feeble ones have been Laban's, and the strong ones Jacob's. | |
| 43 | And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses. | And the man increaseth very exceedingly, and hath many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses. |

| 12 | And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. | `And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see -- all the he-goats which are going up on the flock `are' ring-straked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee; | |
| 13 | 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 thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.' | |
| 14 | And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? | And Rachel answereth -- Leah also -- and saith to him, `Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father? | |
| 15 | Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. | have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money; | |

| 21 | So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. | and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and passeth over the River, and setteth his face `toward' the mount of Gilead. | |
| 22 | And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. | And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath fled, | |

| 26 | And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? | And Laban saith to Jacob, `What hast thou done that thou dost deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword? | |
| 27 | 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 hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me, and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and with songs, with tabret and with harp, | |

| 30 | And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? | `And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen my gods?' | |
| 31 | And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. | And Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, `Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away thy daughters from me; | |

| 33 | And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. | And Laban goeth into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and hath not found; and he goeth out from the tent of Leah, and goeth into the tent of Rachel. | |
| 34 | Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. | And Rachel hath taken the teraphim, and putteth them in the furniture of the camel, and sitteth upon them; and Laban feeleth all the tent, and hath not found; | |
| 35 | And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images. | and she saith unto her father, `Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at thy presence, for the way of women `is' on me;' and he searcheth, and hath not found the teraphim. | |
| 36 | And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? | And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he striveth with Laban; and Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, `What `is' my transgression? what my sin, that thou hast burned after me? | |
| 37 | Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. | for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and they decide between us both. | |
| 38 | This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. | `These twenty years I `am' with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten; | |
| 39 | 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. | the torn I have not brought in unto thee -- I, I repay it -- from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night; | |
| 40 | Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. | I have been `thus': in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes. | |
| 41 | Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. | `This `is' to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times; | |
| 42 | 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 labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight. | unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.' | |
| 43 | 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? | And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, `The daughters `are' my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that thou art seeing `is' mine; and to my daughters -- what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom they have born? | |
| 44 | Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. | and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.' | |
| 45 | And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. | And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up `for' a standing pillar; | |
| 46 | And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. | and Jacob saith to his brethren, `Gather stones,' and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap; | |
| 47 | And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. | and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed. | |
| 48 | And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; | And Laban saith, `This heap `is' witness between me and thee to-day;' therefore hath he called its name Galeed; | |
| 49 | And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. | Mizpah also, for he said, `Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another; | |
| 50 | 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. | if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters -- there is no man with us -- see, God `is' witness between me and thee.' | |
| 51 | And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee: | And Laban saith to Jacob, `Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee; | |
| 52 | This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. | this heap `is' witness, and the standing pillar `is' witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto me -- for evil; | |
| 53 | The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. | the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us -- the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac. | |
| 54 | Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. | And Jacob sacrificeth a sacrifice in the mount, and calleth to his brethren to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge in the mount; | |
| 55 | And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place. | and Laban riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on, and turneth back to his place. |

| 2 | And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her. | and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name `is' Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her. | |
| 3 | And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. | And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er; | |
| 4 | And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan. | and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan; | |
| 5 | And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. | and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him. | |
| 6 | And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. | And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name `is' Tamar; | |
| 7 | And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. | and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death. | |
| 8 | And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. | And Judah saith to Onan, `Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;' | |
| 9 | 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. | and Onan knoweth that the seed is not `reckoned' his; and it hath come to pass, if he hath gone in unto his brother's wife, that he hath destroyed `it' to the earth, so as not to give seed to his brother; | |
| 10 | And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. | and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death. | |
| 11 | Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house. | And Judah saith to Tamar his daughter-in-law, `Abide a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son groweth up;' for he said, `Lest he die -- even he -- like his brethren;' and Tamar goeth and dwelleth at her father's house. | |
| 12 | And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. | And the days are multiplied, and the daughter of Shuah, Judah's wife, dieth; and Judah is comforted, and goeth up unto his sheep-shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, to Timnath. | |
| 13 | And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep. | And it is declared to Tamar, saying, `Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;' | |
| 14 | 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. | and she turneth aside the garments of her widowhood from off her, and covereth herself with a vail, and wrappeth herself up, and sitteth in the opening of Enayim, which `is' by the way to Timnath, for she hath seen that Shelah hath grown up, and she hath not been given to him for a wife. | |
| 15 | When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. | And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face, | |
| 16 | And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? | and he turneth aside unto her by the way, and saith, `Come, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee,' (for he hath not known that she `is' his daughter-in-law); and she saith, `What dost thou give to me, that thou mayest come in unto me?' | |
| 17 | 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? | and he saith, `I -- I send a kid of the goats from the flock.' And she saith, `Dost thou give a pledge till thou send `it'?' | |
| 18 | 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 him. | and he saith, `What `is' the pledge that I give to thee?' and she saith, `Thy seal, and thy ribbon, and thy staff which `is' in thy hand;' and he giveth to her, and goeth in unto her, and she conceiveth to him; | |
| 19 | And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. | and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood. | |
| 20 | 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. | And Judah sendeth the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the hand of the woman, and he hath not found her. | |
| 21 | Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place. | And he asketh the men of her place, saying, `Where `is' the separated one -- she in Enayim, by the way?' and they say, `There hath not been in this `place' a separated one.' | |
| 22 | And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. | And he turneth back unto Judah, and saith, `I have not found her; and the men of the place also have said, There hath not been in this `place' a separated one,' | |
| 23 | And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. | and Judah saith, `Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.' | |
| 24 | And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. | And it cometh to pass about three months `after', that it is declared to Judah, saying, `Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath committed fornication; and also, lo, she hath conceived by fornication:' and Judah saith, `Bring her out -- and she is burnt.' | |
| 25 | 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. | She is brought out, and she hath sent unto her husband's father, saying, `To a man whose these `are', I `am' pregnant;' and she saith, `Discern, I pray thee, whose `are' these -- the seal, and the ribbons, and the staff.' | |
| 26 | And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. | And Judah discerneth and saith, `She hath been more righteous than I, because that I did not give her to Shelah my son;' and he hath not added to know her again. | |
| 27 | And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. | And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins `are' in her womb; | |
| 28 | And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. | and it cometh to pass in her bearing, that `one' giveth out a hand, and the midwife taketh and bindeth on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, `This hath come out first.' | |
| 29 | And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. | And it cometh to pass as he draweth back his hand, that lo, his brother hath come out, and she saith, `What! thou hast broken forth -- on thee `is' the breach;' and he calleth his name Pharez; | |
| 30 | And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah. | and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand `is' the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah. |

| 1 | And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. | And Joseph hath been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buyeth him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him thither. | |
| 2 | And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. | And Jehovah is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian, | |
| 3 | And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. | and his lord seeth that Jehovah is with him, and all that he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper in his hand, | |
| 4 | 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. | and Joseph findeth grace in his eyes and serveth him, and he appointeth him over his house, and all that he hath he hath given into his hand. | |
| 5 | 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. | And it cometh to pass from the time that he hath appointed him over his house, and over all that he hath, that Jehovah blesseth the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of Jehovah is on all that he hath, in the house, and in the field; | |
| 6 | 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 favored. | and he leaveth all that he hath in the hand of Joseph, and he hath not known anything that he hath, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a fair form, and of a fair appearance. | |
| 7 | And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. | And it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord's wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, `Lie with me;' | |
| 8 | 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; | and he refuseth, and saith unto his lord's wife, `Lo, my lord hath not known what `is' with me in the house, and all that he hath he hath given into my hand; | |
| 9 | 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? | none is greater in this house than I, and he hath not withheld from me anything, except thee, because thou `art' his wife; and how shall I do this great evil? -- then have I sinned against God.' | |
| 10 | And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. | And it cometh to pass at her speaking unto Joseph day `by' day, that he hath not hearkened unto her, to lie near her, to be with her; | |
| 11 | And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. | and it cometh to pass about this day, that he goeth into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house, | |
| 12 | 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. | and she catcheth him by his garment, saying, `Lie with me;' and he leaveth his garment in her hand, and fleeth, and goeth without. | |
| 13 | And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, | And it cometh to pass when she seeth that he hath left his garment in her hand, and fleeth without, | |
| 14 | That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: | that she calleth for the men of her house, and speaketh to them, saying, `See, he hath brought in to us a man, a Hebrew, to play with us; he hath come in unto me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice, | |
| 15 | 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. | and it cometh to pass, when he heareth that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth, and goeth without.' | |
| 16 | And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. | And she placeth his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord unto his house. | |
| 17 | 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: | And she speaketh unto him according to these words, saying, `The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, hath come in unto me to play with me; | |
| 18 | And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out. | and it cometh to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth without.' | |
| 19 | 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. | And it cometh to pass when his lord heareth the words of his wife, which she hath spoken unto him, saying, `According to these things hath thy servant done to me,' that his anger burneth; | |
| 20 | 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. | and Joseph's lord taketh him, and putteth him unto the round-house, a place where the king's prisoners `are' bound; and he is there in the round-house. | |
| 21 | But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. | And Jehovah is with Joseph, and stretcheth out kindness unto him, and putteth his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house; | |

| 7 | And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? | and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who `are' with him in charge in the house of his lord, saying, `Wherefore `are' your faces sad to-day?' | |
| 8 | 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. | And they say unto him, `A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, `Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.' | |
| 9 | And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; | And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to Joseph, and saith to him, `In my dream, then lo, a vine `is' before me! | |
| 10 | And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes: | and in the vine `are' three branches, and it `is' as it were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes; | |
| 11 | And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. | and Pharaoh's cup `is' in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.' | |
| 12 | And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days: | And Joseph saith to him, `This `is' its interpretation: the three branches are three days; | |
| 13 | Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. | yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler. | |
| 14 | But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: | `Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house, | |
| 15 | 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 really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.' | |
| 16 | When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head: | And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted good, and he saith unto Joseph, `I also `am' in a dream, and lo, three baskets of white bread `are' on my head, | |
| 17 | And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. | and in the uppermost basket `are' of all `kinds' of Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.' | |

| 19 | Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. | yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have eaten thy flesh from off thee.' | |

| 22 | Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands. | Only the ground of the priests he hath not bought, for the priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their portion which Pharaoh hath given to them, therefore they have not sold their ground. | |
| 23 | Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. | And Joseph saith unto the people, `Lo, I have bought you to-day and your ground for Pharaoh; lo, seed for you, and ye have sown the ground, | |
| 24 | And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. | and it hath come to pass in the increases, that ye have given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those who `are' in your houses, and for food for your infants.' | |
| 25 | And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants. | And they say, `Thou hast revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh;' | |
