PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY, AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS. ADVEETISEMENT. In this Vol lime are printed, in parallel columns, the Authorised Version of 1611 and the E-evised Version, of which last the Old Testament appeared in 1885 and the New Testament in 1881. The left hand column contains the text of the Authorised Version as usually printed, with the marginal notes and references of the edition of 1611, the spelling of these being conformed to modern usage. In the left hand margin are also placed, in square brackets, the more important differences between the edition of 1611 and the text now in use, whether these differences are due to corrections of the edition of ICll or to errors which have subsequently crei)t in. The right hand column contains the Revised Version, with its marginal notes and references. The Prefaces of the Revisers, and the lists of renderings preferred by the American Committee, are also included in this Volume. EEVISERS" PREFACE, The Revision of the Authorised Version v!as undertaken in consequence of a ResoUition passed by both houses of the Convocation of the Pro- vince of Canterbiu-y, as has been fully explained in the Preface to the Revised Version of the New Testament, which was first published in May 1881. When the two Companies were ap- pointed for carrying out this work, the following General Principles, among others, were laid down by the Revision Committee of Convocation for their guidance : — '1. To introduce as few alterations as pos- sible into the Text of the Authorised Version consistently with faithfulness.' ' 2. To limit, as far as possible, the expression of such alterations to the language of the Author- ised and earlier English Versions.' '4. That the Text to be adopted be that for which the evidence is decidedly preponderating ; and that when the Test so adopted differs from that from which the Authorised Version was made, the alteration be indicated in the margin.' '7. To revise the headings of chapters and pages, paragraphs, italics, and punctuation.' In order to shew the manner in which the Old Testament Company have endeavoured to carry out their instructions, it will be convenient to treat the subjects mentioned in the foregoing rules in a somewhat different oi'der. It will be observed that in Rule 4 the word 'Text' is used in a different sense from that in Rule 1, and in the case of the Old Testament denotes the Hebrew or Aramaic original of the several books. In this respect the task of the Revisers has been much simpler than that which the New Testament Company had before them. The Received, or, as it is commonly called, the Massoretic Text of the Old Testament Scriptm-es has come down to us in manuscripts which are of no very great antiquity, and which all belong to the same family or recension'. That other re- censions were at one time in existence is probable from the variations in the Ancient Versions, the oldest of which, namely the Greek or Septuagint, was made, at least in part, some two centiu'ies before the Christian era. But as the state of knowledge on the subject is not at present such as to justify any attempt at an entire reconstruc- tion of the text on the authority of the Versions, the Revisers have thought it most prudent to adopt the Massoretic Tejit as the basis of their work, and to depart from it, as the Authorised Translators had done^, only in exceptional cases. ' The earliest MS. of wbicli the age is certauJy known tears date a.d. 916. 2 See, for instance, 2 Sara. xvi. 12 ; 2 Chr. iii. 1, xxii. 6; Jobxxxvii. 7; Ezek. xlvi. 10; Am. v. 26; Hag. i. 2. With regard to the variations in the Massoretic Text itself, the Revisers have endeavoured to translate what appeared to them to be the best reading in the text, and where the alternative reading seemed sufficiently probable or important they have placed it in the margin. In .some few instances of extreme difficulty a reading has been adopted on the authority of the Ancient Ver- sions, and the departure from the Massoretic Text recorded in the margin. In other cases, where the versions appeared to supply a very probable though not so necessary a correction of the text, the text has been left and the variation indicated in the margin only. In endeavouring to carry out as fuUy as pos- sible the spirit of Rides 1 and 2, the Revisers have borne in mind that it was their duty not to make a new translation but to revise one already existing, which for more than two centuries and a half had held the position of an English classic. They have therefore departed from it only in cases where they disagreed with the Translators of 1611 as to the meaning or construction of a word or sentence ; or where it was necessary for the sake of uniformity to render such parallel passages as were identical in Hebrew by the same English words, so that an English reader might know at once by comparison that a difter- ence in the translation corresponded to a difierence in the original ; or where the language of the Authorised Version was liable to be misunder- stood by reason of its being archaic or obscure ; or finally, where the rendering of an earlier English version seemed preferable, or where by an apparently slight change it was possible to bring out more fully the meaning of a passage of which the translation was already substantially accurate. It has been thought advisable in regard to the word 'Jehovah' to follow the u.sage of the Au- thorised Version, and not to insert it uniformly in place of 'Lord' or 'God', which when printed in small capitals represent the words substituted by Jewish custom for the ineffable Name according to the vowel points by which it is distinguished. It will be found therefore that in this respect the Authorised Version has been departed from only in a few passages, in which the introduction of a proper name seemed to be required. Terms of natural history have been changed only where it was certain that the Authorised Version was incorrect and where there was suf- ficient evidence for the substituted rendering. In cases of doubt the alternative rendering has been given in the margin ; and even where no doubt existed, but where there was no familiar English equivalent for the original word, the Old Version EEVISERS' PREFACE. lias been allowed to veniain', and the more ac- curate term has l.ieen placed in tlie margin. In some words of very frequent occurrence, the Authorised Version being either inadequate or inconsistent, and sometimes misleading, changes have been introduced with as much uniformity as ajipeared practicable or desirable. For instance, 'the tabernacle of the congregation' has been everywhere changed to 'the tent of meeting', on accomit of Exodus xxv. 22, sxix. 42, 43, and also because 'the tabernacle of the congregation' con- veys an entirely wrong sense. The words 'ta- bernacle' and 'tent', as the renderings of two different Hebrew words, are in the Authorised Version frequently interchanged in such a man- ner as to lead to confusion ; and the Revisers have endeavoured throughout the Pentateuch to preserve a consistent distinction between them. Their practice in regard to the words ' assembly ' and 'congregation' has been the same in principle, although they have contented themselves with introducing gi'eater consistency of rendering with- out aiming at absolute uniformity. In conse- quence of the changes which have taken place in the English language, the term ' meat oftering ' has become inappropriate to describe an oftering of which flesh was no part ; and by the alteration to 'meal oftering' a sufficiently accurate repre- sentation of the original has been obtained with the least possible change of form. As regards the use of words, there are only a few cases in which it has been found needful to deviate from the language employed in the Au- thorised Version. One of these deviations occurs so frequently that it may be well to state briefly why it was adopted. The word 'peoples' was nowhere used by King James's Translators in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament it oc- curs only twice (Rev. x. 11, xvii. 15). The eflfeot of tills was to leave the rendering of numerous passages inadequate or obscure or even positively misleading. Thus in one of the best known Psalms (Ps. Ixvii.), where the Septuagint has Xaoi and the Vulgate ^jo/)!(/i', the English had 'Let the people praise thee, O God ; let all the people praise thee'; leaving it at least doubtful whether the 'nations' of verse 4, or God's people, Israel, be referred to. And in Isaiah Iv. 4, ' Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people', the word 'people' i.s naturally understood l>y the EugHsh reader to refer to Israel. Again, the Hebrew word goi/im 'nations', which is applied to the nations of Canaan dispossessed by the Hebrews, and then also to the surrounding nations among whom the people of Israel were afterwards dispersed, acquired in later times a moral significance, which is represented in the Authorised Version by the rendering 'heathen' or 'Gentiles'. While recognizing this moral sense of the word, the Revisers have employed it much more sparingly than their predecessors had done. Similarly, the Hebrew Sheol, which signifies the abode of departed spirits, and corresponds to the Greek Hades, or the luidei- world, is variously 1 As for instance, 'coney' (Lev. xi. 5), 'fitches' (Is. xxviii. 25, 27), ' gourd ' (Jou. iv. (>). rendered in the Authorised Version by 'grave', 'pit', and 'hell'. Of 'these renderings 'hell', if it could be taken in its original sense as used in the Creeds, would be a fairly adequate equivalent for the Hebrew word ; but it is so commonly un- derstood of the place of torment that to employ it fi-equently would lead to inevitable misunder- standing. The Revisers therefore in the historical narratives ha^-e left the rendering ' the grave ' or 'the pit' in the text, with a marginal note 'Heb. iSlicoV to indicate that it does not signify 'the jilace of burial'; while in the poetical writings they have put most commonly 'Sheol' in the text and 'the grave' in the margin. In Isaiah xiv. however, where ' hell ' is used in more of its original sense and is less liable to be misunder- stood, and where any change in so familiar a passage which was not distinctly an improvement would be a decided loss, the Revisers have con- tented themselves with leaving ' hell ' in the text, and have connected it with other passages by putting ' Sheol ' in the margin. In connexion with this it may be mentioned that ' Abaddon ', which has hitherto been known to the Enghsh reader of the Bible only from the New Testament (Rev. ix. 11), has been inti-oduced in three passages (Job xxvi. 6; Prov. xv. 11, xxvii. 20), where a proper name appears to be required for giving vividness and point. The Hebrew word Aslierah, which is uniformly and wrongly rendered 'gi'ove' in the Authorised Version, most probably denotes the wooden .symbol of a goddess ; and the Revisers therefore have not hesitated to introduce it as a proper name in the singular (Judg. vi. 25, &c.), with the plurals Asherim (Ex. xxxiv. 1.3, &c.) and Asheroth (Judg. iii. 7, &c.), following the analogy of the Baalim (Judg. iii. 7) and the Ashtaroth (Judg. ii. 13), which are already familiar. In regard to the language of the Authorised Version, the Revisers have thought it no part of their duty to reduce it to conformity with modern usage, and have therefoi'C left untouclied all archaisms, whether of language or construction, which though not in familiar use cause a reader no embarrassment and lead to no misunderstand- ing. They are aware that in so doing they will disappoint the large English-speaking race on the other side of the Atlantic, and it is a question upon which they are prepared to agree to a friendly difierence of opinion. The principle liy which they have been guided has been clear and consistent. Where an archaic word or expression was liable to be misunderstood or at least was not perfectly intelligible, they have substituted for it another, in C(|ually good use at the time the Authorised Version was made, and expressing all that the archaism was intended to convey, but more familiar to the modern reader. In such cases the gain was greater than the loss. But in other instances where the word or expression, although obsolete, was not unintelligible, it was thought that the change would involve gi'eater loss than gain, and the old rendering was there- fore allowed to stand. More especially was this the case when the archaism was a perfectly cor- rect rendering of the original and there was no EEVISERS' PREFACE. exact modern equivalent for it. Tlio principle adopted by the Company will be best illustrated by two typical examples. The verb ' to ear ' in the sense of ' to plough ' and the substantive ' earing ' for ' ploughing ' were very reluctantly abandoned, and only because it was ascertained that their meaning was miknown to many per- sons of good intelligence and education. But it was easy to put in their place equivalents which had a pedigi'ee of almost equal antiquity, and it would have been an excess of conservatism to refuse to substitute for an unintelligible archaism an expression to which no ambiguity could be attached. On the other hand the word 'boiled' (Ex. ix. 31), which signifies 'podded for seed' and is known m provincial dialects, has no sjmonym in literary English. To have discarded it in favour of a less accm'ate or more paraphrastic expression would have been to impoverish the language ; and it was therefore left, because it exactly expresses one view which is taken of the meaning of the original. One of the few instances in which the language of the Authorised Version has been modified in accordance with later usage is the change of the neuter possessive pronoun from ' his ' to ' its '. It is well known that ' its ' does not occur in the Bible of 1611, and it does not appear to have been introduced into any edition before 1660. But it is found ten times in Shakespeare, and there is other evidence to shew that at the time of the Authorised Version it was coming into use. It was found necessary in some cases to substi- tute ' its ' for ' his ' in order to avoid obscm'ity, and there seemed no good reason, when it was once introduced, for refusing to admit it gener- ally when it referred to purely inanimate objects. In making minor changes, whether in transla- tion or language, the Revisers have followed the example of the translators of the Authorised Version, who allowed themselves in this respect a reasonable freedom, without permitting their liberty to degenerate into license. It will be at once seen that the old division of the books into chapters and verses has been abandoned in favour of the arrangement in para- graphs, the nmnbering of the chapters and verses being however retained for convenience of refer- ence. Where the change of subject seemed to requii'e a greater break than was marked by the beginning of a new paragraph, it has been indic- ated by a space before the paragraph. Occasion- ally the divisions of the chapters in the Author- ised Version differ from those in the common Hebrew Bibles. In such cases the variations are given in the margin. In the Psalms, the titles are printed in smaller type, as in some modern English Bibles, which diSer in this respect from the edition of 1611. One consequence of the arrangement in paragraphs has been the omis- sion of the headings of chapters, which for other and more important reasons it was thought advis- able' to abandon, as involving questions which belong rather to the province of the commentator than to that of the translator. With the headings of chapters the head-lines of pages naturally dis- appeared also, and for the same reason. In the poetical portions, besides the division into i^aragraphs, the Revisers have adopted an ar- rangement in lines, so as to exhibit the parallel- ism which is characteristic of Hebrew Poetry. But they have not extended this arrangement to the prophetical books, the language of which although frequently marked by parallelism is, except in purely lyrical passages, rather of the natm'e of lofty and impassioned prose. In the use of italics the Revisers departed from the custom of the Authorised Version and adopted as their rule the following resolution of their Company : ' That all such words now printed in italics, as are plainly implied in the Hebrew and necessary in English, be printed in common type.' But where any doubt existed as to the exact rendering of the Hebrew, all words which have been added in order to give completeness to the English expression are printed in italic type, so that the reader by omitting them may be able to see how far their insertion is justified by the words of the original. This of course is especially true of those renderings for which an alternative is given in the margin, where the roman and italic type play exactly opposite parts. To complete the account of the Revised Version it remains only to describe the marginal notes. These will be found to contain (1) The renderings of such variations in the Massoretic Text a.s appeared to be of sufficient importance. These variations are known by the technical names of K'ri (read) and C'thib {writ- ten), which denote that the K'ri, or reading in the margin of the Hebrew Bible, is to be substituted for the C'thib wluch appears in the written text. The Revi.sers have generally, though not uni- formly, rendered the C'thib in the text, and left the K'ri in the margin, with the introductory note ' Or, according to another reading ', or 'Another reading is'. When the K'ri has been followed in the text, the C'thib has been placed in the margin, if it represented a variation of sufficient importance. (2) Alternative renderings, introduced by 'Or'. These are either different meanings of the word or passage, or they serve to connect it with other renderings elsewhere. (3) Literal renderings of the Hebrew or Ar- amaic, indicated by the prefix 'Heb.' or 'Aram.' (4) Changes of text made on the authority of the ancient Versions. (5) Readings from ancient Versions which appeared to be of sufficient importance to be noticed. (6) Renderings of the Hebrew consonants as read with difterent vowel points, or as difterently divided. These are introduced by the words ' Or, as otherwise read'. (7) Marginal references to other passages, which are either strictly parallel, or sei've the pm-i)ose of illustrating or justifying a particular rendering. (8) Explanations of certain proper names, the meaning of which is referred to in the text. In the Proper Names the Revisers have en- deavoured to ascertain the system of transliter- REVISERS' PREFACE. ation adopted by the Translators of the Authorised Version and to carry it out with somewhat gi-eater consistency. They have not however attempted anything hke rigid uniformity, and have left un- changed all those names whicli by usage have become English; as, for instance, Moses, Aaron, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the like. Among the Rules laid down by the Revision Committee of Convocation for the guidance of the Revisers was one that no change should be finally made in the text of the Authorised Version except by the vote of two-thirds of the Company present and voting; and this Rule has been invariably acted upon. The result has been that in many cases a rendering which was preferred by the majority of the Company voting has been re- corded in the margin, the majority not laeing sufficient to give it a place in the text. But all questions of marginal readings, as well as of pimctuation and tlivision into paragraphs, except where these affected the sense of a passage, were decided by a simple majority. It may be of some interest to describe the method observed by the Company in their work, if only to shew that every question raised was carefully and dehberately considered. In the first Revision it was the practice for the Secretary to read over each verse, first in the original and then in the Authorised Version: the proposals for change were then taken ; first those communic- ated in writing by absent membere, and next those made by the membei-s present. Each pro- posal was moved, and if seconded was discussed and voted upon ; the decision in the first Revision being by a majority only. If a proposal met with no seconder, it was not discussed but allowed to drop. In the second Revision, the Secretary read out in order the changes which had been made at the first Revision ; if these were unchallenged they were allowed to remain, otherwise they were put to the vote and affirmed or rejected according as they were or were not supported by the re- quisite majority of two-thirds. In the second Revision new propositions could only be made by special permission of the Company, and discus- sion was limited, as far as possible, to exceptional cases. In the final review, wliich was in reality the completion of the second Revision, the Com- pany employed themselves in making a general survey of what they had done, deciding finally upon reserved points, harmonizing inconsistencies, smoothing down roughnesses, removing unneces- sary changes, and generally giving finish and completeness to their work. Everything in this final survey was decided by the vote of a majority of two-thirds. The Revisers had ah'eady made some progress, and had in fact gone twice through the Penta- teuch, before they secured the co-operation of the American Old Testament Revision Company. The first Revision of the several books was sub- mitted to the consideration of the American Revisers, and, except in the case of the Penta- teuch, the EngUsh Company had the benefit of their criticisms and suggestions before they pro- ceeded to the second Revision. The second Re- vision was in like manner forwarded to America, and the latest thoughts of the American Revisers were in the hands of the English Company at their final review. In every instance the sugges- tions from America were treated with the same consideration as those proceeding from members of the English Company, and were adopted or rejected on their merits. ■ It was a part of the terms of agreement with the American Company that all points of ultimate difference between them and the English Revisers should be placed on record, and they will accordingly he found fully stated at the end of the Old Testament, or at the end of the several portions, according as the Revised Version appears in one or more volumes. Many of them will be found to be changes of language which are involved in the essentially difl'erent circimistances of American and English readers ; others express a preference for the marginal rendering over that given in the text; others again involve a real cfiflerence of opinion ; but all shew that they have been dictated by the same leading principle, the sin- cere desire to give to modern readers a faithfid representation of the meaning of the original documents. It could not but be expected that in the course of fom'teen years many changes would take place in the members of the Company. Of the original number who first put their hands to the work on the 30th of Jime 1870, only fifteen now remain. Ten of the Company have been removed by death, and two resigned : the places of these were filled from time to time by others; but since October 1875 no new members have been added. The Revision was completed in eighty-five sessions, ending on 20th June, 1884; and it occupied 792 days. The greater part of the sessions were for ten days each, and each day the Company gener- ally sat for six hours. The labour therefore has been great, but it has been given ungrudgingly ; and now with a feeling of deep thankfulness to Almighty God, and the earnest hope that their endeavours may with His blessing tend to a clearer knowledge of the Old Testament Scriptures, the Revisers bring their long task to a close.

And the foiulh river is Euphrates. 15 And the Lord God took ' the man, and put him into the garden of Edeu to di'css it and" to keep it. 16 And the Loed God commanded the man, say- ing, Of every tree of the garden Uhou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof 'thou shalt sui-ely ilie. 18 IT And the Lord God said, /( is not good that the man should be alone; I will make *hini an help tnieet for him. 19 And out of the gi'ound the Lord God formed eveiy beast of the field, and eveiy fowl of the au- ; and brought tlicm luito f Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every hving creatm'e, that ivas the name thereof. 20 And Adam 'gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the au-, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found au help meet for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept : and he took oue of his ribs, and closed ui) the tiesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, whTch the Lord God had taken from man, ' made he a woman, and brought her imto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and fle-sh of my flesh: she sh:iU be called Woman, because she was * taken out of Man. 21 'Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 23 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said mito the woman, ' Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden ? 2 And the woman said imto the serpent. We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden : 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Y'e shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 •And the serpent said unto the womSn, Y'e shall not sm'ely (lie : 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then yom' eyes shaU be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowmg good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it itas 'pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desu-ed to make oue wise, she took of the fniit thereof, 'and ilid eat, and gave also imto her husband with her ; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed tig leaves together, and made themselves ii aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden m the 'cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him. Where art thou? 10 And he snid, I heard thy voice hi the garden, and I was afraid, because I teas naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou u-a.st naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat ? 12 And the man said. The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the Lord God said unto the woman. 14 And the name of the thii'd river is ' Hiddekel : that is it which goeth ^in front of Assyria. 15 And the fom'th river is Euphi'ates. And the Lord God took the man, and put him into ' the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, say- ing, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest 17 fi'eely eat : but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it : for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. IS And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone ; I will make him an 19 heli> 3 meet for him. And out of the gi-omid the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the ah'; and brought them unto jtheman to see what he would call them : and whatsoever the man called every hving crea- 20 tm-c, that was the name thereof. And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl ol the au% and to every beast of the field ; but for on thy belly shalt thou go, and 15 dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life : and I will put enmity between thee and the wo- man, and between thy seed and her seed: it shall ^bi'iiise thy head, and thou shalt ^bruise IG his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will great- ly mult ijdy thy sorrow and thj' conception ; in son-ow thou shalt bring forth children ; and tliy desu'e shall be to thy husband, and he shall 17 rule over thee. And unto Adam he said. Be- cause thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the gi'ound for thy sake; in ^t^ shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life ; 18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee ; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field ; 19 m the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, tin thou return luito the gi'ound ; for out of it wast thou taken ; for dust thou art, and unto 20 dust shalt thou retm*n. And the man called his wife's name '*Eve ; because she was the mo- 21 ther of all living. And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said. Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil ; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of tho tree of life, and cat, and live for 23 ever : therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground 24 from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man ; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden _the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep tlie way of the tree of life. 4 And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have ^got- 2 ten a man witli_//((? hrlj) of the Lord. And again she bare bis brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller 3 of the groimd. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the 4 ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had re- 5 speet unto Abel and to his offering: but unto Cain and to his otTering he liad not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his counten- G ance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain. Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance 7 fallen ? If thou doest well, "shalt thou not be accepted ? and if thou doest not well, sin couch- eth at tho door; and unto thee 'shall be his 8 desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain ^told_Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up 9 against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother ? And he said, I know not : am I my brother's 10 keeper? Ajid he said. Wliat hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me 11 from the ground. And now cursetl^art thou from the ground, which liath opened her mouth to receivetliy brother's blood from thy hand ; 12 when thou tillest the gi'omid, it shall not hence- forth yield unto tliee her strength ; a fugitive and a wanderer^ shalt thou be in the earth.

What liast thou doue unto us ? and what liave I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me aud on my kingdom a great sin ? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. 27 And Abraham gat up early iu the moniing to the ]>laee wliere he had stood before tlie Lord: 28 and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward aU the hind of the Plaui, and be- held, and, lo, the smoke of the laud went ui> as the smoke of a furnace. 29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abra- ham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the over- throw, when ho overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. 30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the momitani, aud his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in 31 a cave, he aud his two daughters. And the firstborn said unto the younger. Our father is old, and there is not a man iu the e.arth to come in unto us after the mamier of all the 32 earth : come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with bun, that we may presen-e 33 seed of our father. And they made their father di-ink wuie that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not 3'4 when she lay down, nor \\'hen she arose. And it came to pass on the moiTow, that the first- born said unto the younger. Behold, I lay yester- night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our 35 father. And they made their father drink wine that night also : and the yomiger arose, and lay with him ; and he knew not when she lay down, 3G nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot witli child by tlieir father. 37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab; the same is the father of the 38 Moabites unto this day. Aiid the yomiger. she also bare a son, and called bis name Ben- ammi: the same is the father of the childi*en of •Ammon imto this day. 20 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land_of the South, aud dwelt between Ka- desh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar. 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife. She is mj' sister: and Abunelech king of Gerar sent, and 3 took Sarah. But God came to Abunelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman wliich thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. 4 Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous 5 nation ? Said he not Jiunsj^-If unto me, She is my sister? aud she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integi'ity of my heart and the, iunocency of my hands have I done this. 6 And God said unto him in the dream. Yea, I know that in the integi'ity of thy heart thou hast done this, aud I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee 7 not to touch her. Now therefore restore the man's 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 8 surely die, thou, and all that ai'e thine. And Abimelech rose early in the morning, aud called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore 9 afraid. Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, ^\^lat hast thou done unto us? aud wherein have I siimed against thee, that thou hast brought on lue and on my knigdom a gi-eat sui? thou hast done deeds unto me tliat ought not to be done.

And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my 13 mother ; and she became my wife : 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 shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, 11 say of me.

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son ; and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi. 12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egjiitian, 13 Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: and these are the names of the sons of Islunael, by then- names, according to then- generations: the firstborn of Islunael, Nebaioth ; and Kedar, and 14 Adbeel, and Mibsam, and Slishma, and Dumah, 15 and Massa ; Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, 16 and Kedemah : these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments ; twelve princes ac- 17 cording to their nations. And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundi-ed and thirty and seven years; and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his 18 people.

And she went to enquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said uuto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two maimer of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than (/if o//ier people; and 'the elder shall serve the younger. 24 'i And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 2,> And the first came out red, all over hlto an hauy garment; and they called his name Esau. 2G And aflir that came his brother out, and *his ha'nd tool; hold on Esau's heel; and his name was caUed Jacob : and Isaac was thi-eescore years old when she bare them. 27 .And the boys gi-ew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field ; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau, because 'he did eat of his venison: but Eebekah loved Jacob. 29 If And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he u-as faint: 30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, ■ with that same red pottatje ; for I am faint : there- fore was his name called Edom. 31 And Jacob said.

Swear to me this day; and he sware mito bim : and * he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 31 Then Jacob gave Esan bread and pottage of leutiles; and he did eat and lU-ink, and rose_ up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his bu-th- right. 26 And there was a famine hi the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Phil- istines unto Gerar. 2 Xm\ the Lord appeared nnto him, and said, Oo not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of : 3 Sojom-n in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and imto thy seed, *I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware uuto Abraham thy father; 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give nnto thy seed all these countries ; and in thy seed shall all the na- tions of the earth be * blessed ; .5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commantUnents, my statutes, and my laws. 6 ^1 And Isaac dwelt 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, iShe is my wife; lest, sairf. he, the men of the place should kill me for Kebekah ; because she was fan- to look upon. 8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that .\bimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac u-as sporting with Kebekah his wife. 9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said.

And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the fl_ock were ringstraked, 11 speckled, and gi-isled. And the angel of God said unto me in the th-eamj^Jacob: and I said, 12 Here am I. And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the bej;oats which leap upon the.J.2ck are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled : for I have seen aU that Laban doeth unto thee. 13 I am the God of Beth-el, where tlion anointedst a pillar,; where thou vowedst a vow unto me : now arise, get thee out from this laud, and re- 14 tiu'n unto the land of tliyj^iitiyijj'. And Rachel and Leah answered and said mito him, Is there yet any jiortion or inheritance for us in our 15 father's house? Ai'e we not counted of hnn strangers ? for he bath sold us, and hath also IG quite devoured ^ our money. For all the riches which God hath taken away from om* father, that is om's and our chil(h"en's : now then. 17 whatsoever God hath said imto thee, do. Then Jacob rose uj), and set his sous and his wives 18 upon ^Uig camels ; and he carried away all bis cattle, and all his substance whicli be had gath- ered, the cattle of his gettmg, which he had gathered in Paddaii-aram. for to go to Isaac his 19 father unto the land of Canaan. Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep : and Rachel stole 20 the ^terapbim that were her father's. And Jacob ^ stole away unawares to Laban the SjTian, in that he told him not that he fled. 21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over ^the River, and set his face toward the niomitahi of Gilead. 22 And it was told Laban on the thii'd day that 23 Jacob was fled. And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' jour- ney; and he overtook him in the inountain of 24 Gilead. And God came to Laban "the Syrian in a dream ^f the night, and said unto him. Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to 25 Jacob either good or bad. And Laban came uj[) witli Jacob. Now Jacob had pitchetriiis tent hi the mountain : and Laban with his breth- 26 ren pitched in the mountaui of Gilead. And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me. and can-ied away my daughters as captives/^of 27 the sword?

IV2 With 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. 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, 3-4 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. 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. 30 ^[ And Jacob was wrotli, and chodo with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Lalian, What is my trespass"? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued 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. 38 This twenty years hare I heeii with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I 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 requii'e it, whether stolen by day, or stolen 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. 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. 42 Except the God of my father, the God of A- braham, 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. 43 1[ And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these child- ren 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 chil(b*en which they have born ? 44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a coven- ant, I and thou ; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a 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. 47 And Laban called it n Jegar-sahadutha : but Jacob called it Galeed. 48 And Laban said. This heap is a witness be- tween me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed ; 49 And IIMizpah; for he said, The LoED watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. 50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou slialt take other wives beside my daughters, no 28 and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? no\v hast thou done fool- 29 ishly. It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt : but the God of yoiu- father spake mito me yesternight, saying. Take heed to_thy- self that thou speak not to Jacob either good 30 or bad. And now, thomjh thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen 31 my gods ? Ajid Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said. Lest . thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by 32 force. With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall 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 33 them. And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maidservants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into 34 Rachel's tent. Now Rachel had taken the ter- aphim, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all 35 the tent, but found them not. And she said to her father. Let not my lord be angi'y that I cannot rise up before thee; for the niamier of women is upon me. And he searched, but 30 fomid not the t,ei'apbim. 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 hotly pursued 37 after me ? Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stiiff ? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two. 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 flocks have I not 39 eaten. 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 40 day or stolen by night. Thus I was ; in the day the di'ought consumed nie, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes. 41 These twenty years have I been in thy house ; I served thee fom-teen years for thy two daugh- ters, and six years for thy flock : and thou hast 42 changed my wages ten times. E.xcept the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the ^Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, 43 and rebuked thee yesternight.

And now- come, let us make a covenant, I and thou ; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 46 And Jacob said unto his brethren.

And he divided the chiUh'en unto Leah, and unto Eachel, and unto the two hanchnaids. 2 And he put the hanchuaids and their chUdreu foremost, and Leah and her chilfh'en after, and liaehel and Joseph hindermost. 3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the gi'ound seven times, uutU he came near to his brother. ■1 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. 5 And he lifted ui> his eyes, and saw the women and the childi'en; and said, "Who arc those 'with thee ?

Nay, I pray thee, if now I have fomid grace in thy sight, then receive my liresent at my hand : for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. 11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt gi-aciously witli me. and liecause I have enough.

And Jacoli was left alone ; and there wrestled a m.an with 25 hun untU the breaking of the day.

Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments ; 3 And let ns arise, and go np to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered rae in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their eanings which were in theii- ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 5 And they journeyed : and the teiTor of God was upon the cities that ircre round about them, aud they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. 6 ir So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is-, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him. 7 And he built there an altar, and 'called the place II El-Beth-el : because there God appeared imto him, when he fled from the face of his bro- ther. 8 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-cl under an oak: and the name of it was called i AUon-baohuth. 9 ^ And God appeared unto Jacob agam, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him. 19 And the yomig man defended not to do the thing, because he had deUght in Jacob's daughter; and he was honoured above all the house of his 20 father. And Hamor and Shechem his son came tmto the gate of their city, and coummued «ith 21 the men of their city, sayiug. These men are peaceable with us ; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for, behold, the laud. is largo enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for mves, and let us give them 22 our daughters. Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to be- come one people, if every male among us be 23 cu-cumcised, as they are circumcised. Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be om-s ? only let us consent luito them, 24 and they will dwell with us. And luito Hamor and mito Shechem his son hearkened aU that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the 25 gate of his city. And it came to pass on the thu-d day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Suneon and Levi, Dinah's breth- ren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city ^ unawares, and slew all the males. 2G And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son ^ith the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out 27 of Shechem's house, and went forth. The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the 28 city, because they had defiled their sister. They took their flocks and their herds and then- asses, and that which was in the city, and that "which 29 was m the field ; aud all their wealth, and aU their little ones and their wives, took they capt- ive and spoUed, even all that was in the house. 30 And Jacob said to Simeou aud Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites : and, I beuig few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and 31 my house. And they said, Should he deal with our sister as "nith an harlot ? 35 jVud God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, who appeared mito thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 2 Then Jacob said tmto his household, aitd to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and jmrify^j-otirselyes, aud 3 change yottr garments : and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar tmto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me m the way which I 4 went. And they gave mito Jacob aU the strange gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears ; and Jacob hid them 5 under the 2 oak which was by Shechem. And they jom-neyed: and 'a great teiTor was upon the cities that were roiuid about them, and they 6 did not ptu-sue after the sons of Jacob. So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (thesame is Beth-eli, he and all the 7 people that were with him. And he built there an altar, and called the place ■'El-beth-el: be- cause there God wus_revealcd unto him, when 8 he fled from the face of Kis brother. And De- borah Rebekah's nttrse died, aud she was buried Jjelow Bethel under the oak: and the name ot it was called ^AUon-bacuth. 9 And God appeared tmto Jacob again, wheti he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 23 The sons of Leah ; Koubcn, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 21 The sons of Eachel; Joseph, aiid Benjamin: 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Eachel's handmaid; D.in, aTid Naphtali: 26 And the sons of Zilpali, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Aslier: these arc the sons of Jacob, which wore bom to him in Padan-aram. 27 "J And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Ai-bah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 2S And the days of Isaac were an hundi-ed and fourscore years. 29 iind I.saac gave up the ghost, and died, and *was gathered unto his people, bciiii) old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. 36 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Ca- naan; Adah the daufjhlcr of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Tlivito; 3 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. ■1 And ♦ Adah hare to Esau Eliphaz ; and Bashe- math bare Rcuel ; .5 And Aliolibamali hare Jcusli, and Jaalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, which were bom unto hun in the land of Canaan.

And Jacob set up a piUnr in the place where he spake with liun,ya i)illar of stone: and he pou'reiTout a drink o'ffering thereon, and 15 poured oil thereon. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth- 16 el. And they joimieyed from Beth-el ; and there was stUl some way to come to Ephrath: and Eachel travailed, and she had hard labour. 17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her. Fear not; for now thou shalt have another son. 18 And it came to jiass, as her soul was in depart- ing (for she died), that she called his name ^Ben-oni: hut his father called him^Benjamin. 19 And Eachel (Ued, and was buried in tho way to 20 Ephrath (tlie same is Beth-lehem). And J.acob set jj2)_a pillar upon her grave: the same is the 21 Pillar of Eachel's grave unto this day. And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond 22 the tower of Eder. And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Eeuben went and lay with BiUiah his father's concubine: and Israel heard of it. 23 Now tho sons^f Jacob were twelve: the sous of Leah ; Eeuben, Jacob's fu'stborn, and Suueon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issach.ar, 24 and ZchiUun : the sous of Eachel ; Joseph and 25 Benjamin : and the sons of Bilhah, Eachel's 26 handmaid ; Dan and Naphtali : and the sons of Zilx>?.h, Leah's handmaitl; Gad and Ashcr: these are the sous of Jacob, which were born 27 to hun in I'addan-aram. And Jacob came unto Isaac his fatSer to Maim'e, to_Kii'iath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Abrjiham and Isaac 28 sojourned. And the days of Isaac were an 29 hmidi'ed and fom'score years. And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto liis peojile, old and full of days : and_Esau and Jacob his sons bm-ied him. 36 Now these are the generations of Esau (the 2 same is Edom). Esau took his wives of the daugliters of Canaan ; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, andjOholibamah the daughter of Anah, the * daughter of Zibeon the Hivitc; 3 and Bar^emath Ishn-.ael's daughter, sister of 4 Nebaioth.

And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all tho souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his 'fieasts, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan; and went 7 into a land awtiy from his brother Jacob. For their substance was too great for them to dwell together ; and the land of their sojournings could not hear them because of their cattle. 8 And Esau„dwelt in mount Seir: Esau is 9 Edom.

Joseph, beuig seven- teen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren ; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's "wives : aud Joseph brought the evil report _of 3 them unto their father. Now Israel loved Jo- seph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him ■''a 4 coat of many colom-s. Andyjiis brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren ; and they hated hun, aud could not 5 speak peaceably unto him. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it jj3 his brethren : aud 6 they hated him j'et the more. And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which 7 I have dreamed : for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, aud also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my 8 sheaf. And his bretlu*en said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 9 And he di-eamed yet another dream, and told it to_ his brethren, aud said, Behold, I have di"eamed yet a dream; and, behold, tlie sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to 10 me. And he told it to his father, and to his bretlu-en ; and his father rebuked him, aud said unto him, AMiat is this dream that thou hast di'eamed ? Shall I and thy mother ancl thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves 11 to thee to the earth? And his bretlu-en envied him; but his father ke^t the saying in mhid. 12 And his brethren went to feed their father's 13 flock ill Shechem. And Israel said unto Jo- seph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem ? come, and I will send thee unto 14 them. And he said to him, Here am I. And he said to him. Go iiow. see whether it be Avell with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and brmg me word agaui. So he sent hun out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field : and the man asked 16 him, saying. What seekest thou? And he said, I seek my I)retliren: tell me, I pray thee, where 17 they are feeding the Jhck^. Aaid the man said, They are departed hence : for I heard them say, Let ns go to Dothan.

It is my son's coat ; an * evil beast hath devoured him ; Josejih is with- out doubt rent in pieces. 34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loms, and moui'ued for his son many days. 35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him ; but he refused to be comforted ; and he said. Fur I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wejit for him. 36 And the '• Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar. an 'officer of Pharaoh's, and *j captain of the guard. 38 And it came to pass at that time, that Ju- dah went down fi-om his brethren, and turned m to a certain AduUamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certam Canaanite, whose name icas * Shuah ; and he took her, and went iji unto her. 3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he caUed his name Er. 4 * And she conceived agam, and bare a son ; and she called his name Onan. 5 And she yet agaui conceived, and bare a son; and called his siame Shelah : and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name ivas Taraar. 7 And *Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked m the sight of the Lohd; and the Lord slew him. 8 And Judah said mito Onan, Go in mito thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be bis: and it came to pass, when he went in imto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the gromtd, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did 'displeased the Lord : wherefore he slew him also. 11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law. Remain a vtidow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be growni : for he said. Lest perad- venture he die also, as his brethren did. And Ta- mar went and dwelt ui her father's house. but lay no hand upon him : that he might deUver him out of theu' hand, to restore him 23 tcTliis^ father. And it came to pass, when Joseidi was come unto his brethi-en, that tliey stript Joseph of his coat, Oie coat of many 24 colom'S that was on him; and they took him, and cast him into the pit : and the pit was 25 empty, there was no water in it. And they sat downi to eat In'ead : and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a Jrayelhng company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with theu* camels bearing ^ spicery and -balm and 'myrrh, going to carry it down to Egj-jit. 26 And Judah said unto his brethren, 'N\Tiat profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his 27 blood ? Come, and let us sell hiin to the Ish- maelites, and let not om- hand be upon him; for he is our brother, oiu* flesh. And hisbreth- 28 reu hearkened^ untoi "him. And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of sUver. And they brought Joseph into EgJ^lt. 29 And Reuben returned mito the pit ; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his 30 clothes. And he retm"ned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not ; and I, whither shall 31 I go? And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a Jie-goat, and dipped the coat hi the blood ; 32 and they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, Tliis have we fomid: know now whether it he thy 33 son's coat or not. And he knew it, and said. It is my son's coat ; an evil beast bath de- voureped lierself, and sat in an *open place, wliieli ix by the way to Tinmath; for she saw that Shelah was gi'own, and she was not given uuto him to wife. 1.5 When Judah saw lier, he lIioHght her to he an harlot; liecause she liad euvevul lier face. IG iViid he turned unto lu-r by the way, and said, Go to, I i)ray thee, let me come in unto thee ; (for he knew not that slic was his daughter hi law.ji And slie said.

And they said, There was no harlot in this place. 22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her ; and also the men of the place saii, that there was no harlot in this place. 23 yViid Judah snid. Let her take it to her, lest we * be shamed : behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not fomid her. 24 ^1 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah. saying.

When she vas brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying. By the man, whose these arc, am I with child : and she said.

She hath been more li^'hteons than I; because that I gave her not to Slielah my sou. And he knew her again no more. • 27 f, And it came to pass in the time of her trav- ail, tliat, behold, twins were 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 bis hand a scarlet thread, saying. This came out first. 29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, bis brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach he upon thee: therefore his name was called ' *Pharcz.- 30 And afterward came out bis brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand : and his name was called Zai'ah. 30 And Joseph was brought down to Egyjit; and Potiphar, an officer of I'baraob, captain of the guard, an Egyjitian, bought bini of the • hands of the IshmeeStes, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man ; and he was in the house of his master the Egy])tian. 3 And his master saw that the Lord was with 12 jViid in process of time Sbua/s^daughter, the wife of Judah, died ; and Judah was comforted, and \\ent up unto his sheepshearers to Timn.ah, 13 ho and bis friend Hirah the AdnUamite.

Behold, thy father in law goeth up to Tiimiah to shear bis sheep. 14 And she putofi from her the garments of_ber widowhood, and covered herself with her^veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaiiu, which is by the way to Tinniali; for sEiTsaw that Shelah was gi'own up, and she 15 was not given unto hun to wife. When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; Jor 16 she had covered her face. And he turned unto her by the way, and said. Go to, I pray thee, let me come hi unto thee: for he knesv not that she was his daughter in law. And she said. What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come 17 in imto me ? And he said, I will send thee a kid of_the£oats from the Hock. And she said. Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? 18 And be said, What pledge shall I give thee ? And she said. Thy signet and tlrj^^cwd, and thy staff that is ui thine hand. And he gave them to her, and came hi uuto her, and she conceived 19 by him. And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the gar- 20 ments of her widowhood. jVnd Judah sent the kid pfthe gyats by the hand of bis friend the AdnUamite, to receive jju!_ pledge from the 21 woman's baud: but be found her not. Then he asked the men of her place, saying. Where is the 1 harlot, that was at Knaini by the way side? And they said, There hath been no 22 1 harlot here. Ajid he returned to Judah, and said, I have not fomid her ; and also the men of the place saiil. There h.ath been no iharlot 23 here. And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be _£ut^ to shame : behold, I sent this 24 kid, and thou bast not found her. 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 moreover, behold, she is with child by wboredoiii. jVnd Judah said, Bruig her forth, and let her be biu-ut. 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 the 26 coiils, and the staff. And Judah acknowledged them, and said. She js more righteous than I ; . forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son. 27 And he knew her agaui no more.

Be- cause 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. 19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they commoned with him at the door of the house, 20 And said, 0 sir, *' we came indeed down at the first time to buy food : 21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money teas in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand. 22 And other money h.ive we brought downi in our hands to buy food : we cannot tell who put our money ui our sacks. 23 Aid he said. Peace he to you. fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in yom- sacks: 'I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them. 24 And the man brought the men into Josejib's house, and *gave them water, and they washed theii' feet ; and he gave their asses provender. 25 And they made ready the present against Jo- seph came at noon : for they heard that they should eat bread there. 26 II And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which ioas in their hand into the house, Eind bowed themselves to him to the earth. 27 And he asked them of their 'welfare, and said, */s your father well, the old man of whom ye spake ? Is he yet ahve '? 28 And they answered. Thy senant om' father is in good health, he ?s yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance. 29 And he hfted up his eyes, and saw his bro- ther Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your yo^mger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my sou. 30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there. 31 And he washed his face, and went out, and re- frained himself, and said, Set on bread. 32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: be- cause the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews ; for that is an abomination unto the Egyiitians. 33 And they sat before him, the fu-stboro accord- ing to his bu'thright, and the youngest according 12 of the land in your vessels, and caiTy down the man a present, a little ' balm, and a little honey, spicery and myn-h, ^nuts, and ahnonds : and take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks can-y^again in your hand; peradventm-e it was an oversight : take also your brother, and arise, go again mito the man: and '^God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release iinto you yom' other brother aud Benjamin. And if I be bereaved of my chiltli'en, I am bereaved. And the men took that present, and they took double money in theii" hand, and Benjamin ; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. And when Joseph saw Benja- min with them, he said lo ihr steward of his house, Bi-iug the men iiiic \\i<- Iukk^. and slay, and make ready; for the ineu shall dine with me at noon. Arid the man did as Joseph bade ; and the man brought the men mto Joseph's house. And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house ; and they said. Because of the money that was retm-ned in our sacks at the fu-st time are we brought in ; that he may •* seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses. And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they spake unto him at the door of the house, and said, Oh my lord, we came indeed down at the fu-st tune to buy food: and it came to pass, when we came to the lodgmg place, that we opened our sacks, and, IjehoTd, 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. And other money have we brought down in our hand^^to buy food: we kiiow not who put our money in our sacks. And he said. Peace be to you, fear not : your God, and the God of 3'our father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeou out unto them. AJud the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, aud they washed their feet ; and he gave then' asses provender. And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there. And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowe4 down themselves to him to the earth. And he asked them of their wel- fare, and said. Is your father weU, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet ahve ? And they said. Thy servant cm- father is well, he is yet alive. And they bowed^,_the^lieadi_ and made obeisance. And he lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin^ his brother, his mother's son, and said. Is this yoiur yotmgest brother, of whom ye spake unto me ? And he said, God be gi-acious unto thee, my son. And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: aud he sought where to weep ; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there. And he washed his face, and came out; and 1m refrained him- self, and said. Set on bread. And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egj-ptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. 22 And we said unto my lord, The hid cannot leave his father: for (/ he should leave his father, his father would die. 23 And thou snidst unto thy seiTants, * Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. 24 And it came to pass when we came up unto to his youth: and the men marvelled one\vith 34 another.

And he said, God forbid that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto yom* father. 18 Then Judah came near mito him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger bura against thy servant: for thou art 19 even as Pharaoh.

And God sent me before you to preseiwe you a remnant in the earth, and to save you 8 aUve ^by a great dehverance. So now it was 'not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and iniler over all the land of 9 Egypt. Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say mito him. Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt : come down 10 unto me, tari-y not : and thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near mito me, thou, and thy children, and thy chUdi-en's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all 11 that thou hast : and there %vill I nom-ish thee ; for there are yet five years of famine ; lest thou come to poverty j_^thou, and thy household, 12 and all that thou hast.'

See that ye fall not out by the way. 25 1[ And they went up out of Egy])t, and came into tlie land of Canaan unto Jacob tlieir father, 26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And 'Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not. 27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to can-y him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: 28 And Israel said. It is enough ; Joseph my son is yet alive : I will go and see him before I die. 46 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacri- fices unto the God of his father Isaac. 2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said. Here am I. 3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father : fear not to go down into Egyiit; for I will there make of thee a gi-eat nation : 4 I will go down with thee into Egyiit ; and I will also surely bring thee up or/aiii: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob then- father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to ean-y him. 6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, * Jacob, and all his seed with him : 7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons* daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt. 8 1i And 'these are the names of the chilih-en of Israel, which came into Egyi)t, Jacob and his sons: *Eeuhen.

And Pharaoh said mito Joseph, Say mito thy brethren. This do ye ; lade yom- beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Ca- 18 naau ; and take j'our father and your house- holds, and come unto me: and I will give you tlie good of the land of Egy|it, and ye shall eat 19 the fat of the land. Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egj-jit for your little ones, and for your w-ives, 20 and brmg your father, and come. Also regard not yoiu' stuff; for the good of all the land of 21 Egypt is yom-s. And the sons of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them 22 provision for the way. To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hmidred iiieccs of silver, and five 23 clianges of raiment. And to his father he sent ' after this manner ; ten asses laden with the good things of Egyjjt, and ten slie-asses laden with corn and bread and victual for his father 24 by the w-ay. So he sent bis bretbreu away, and they departed: and he said unto them. See that 25 ye fall not out by the way. And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan 26 xmto Jacob their father. And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And h|3 heart fainted, 27 for he believed them not. Aiid they told bun all the words of Joscidi, which he had said mito them : and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent io can-y him, the spirit 28 of Jacob their father revived : and Israel said. It is enough; Joseiih my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die. 46 And Israel took his jom-ney with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacri- 2 fices unto the God of his father Isaac.

Give yom- cattle ; and I will give you for yom- cattle, if money fail. 17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he 'fed them with bread tor all their cattle for that year. 18 ^Vhen that year was ended, they came unto him the second yeai*, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that om- money is spent ; my lord also * hath our herds of cattle ; there is not ought li'ft in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and om" lands : 19 AVliereforc shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land ? buy us and om' land tor bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Phai'aoh : and give ns seed, that we may hve, and not die, that the land be not desolate. ■20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold evei-y man his field, because the fanune prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's. 21 And as for the people, ke removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof. '22 Only the land of the H priests bought he not ; for the priests had a portion a.^.^if/ned thenk of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pha- raoh gave them : wherefore they sold not then' lands. 23 Then Joseph said unto the people. Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pha- raoh : lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. 24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth jmrt unto Phai'aoh, and fom" parts shall be youi' own, for seed of the field, and sore in the land of Canaan : now therefore, we l)ray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land 5 of Goshen. And Phai'aoh spake nnto Joseph, saying. Thy father and thy brethi'en are come 6 nnto thee : the land of Egj^it is before thee ; in the best of the land make thy father and thy brethren to dwell ; in the land of Goshen let them dweU: and if thou knowest any lable men among them, then make them rulers over my 7 cattle. And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set bun before Pliaraoh ; and Jacob blessed 8 Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life ? 9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my ^pilgrimage are an hundred and thu'ty years : few and evil havejjeeu the days of the j'cars of my life, and they have not at- tauied nnto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their ^ pilgrimage. 10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from 11 Uie ju'esence of Pharaoh. And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Kameses, as Pharaoh 12 had commanded. And Joseph nourished his fa- ther, and his brethren, and all his father's house- hold, with bread, 3 according to their famihes. 13 And there was no bread in all the land ; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egji)t and^the land of Canaan fainted by reason 14 of the famuie. And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found m the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought : and .Joseph brought the money into Pha- 1.5 raoh's house. And when the money "^^isjill^spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egjiitians came nnto Joseph, and said. Give us bread : for why should we die in thy 16 presence ? for Oitr money faileth. And Joseph said. Give your cattle ; and I will give you for 17 your cattle, if money fail. And they brought their cattle mito Joseph ; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the * flocks, and for^the herds, and for the asses : and he ^fed them with bread in exchange for all their 18 cattle for that year. And when that year was ended, they came mito him the second year, and said unto him, 'We vn]l not hide; from my lord, how that our money is jiU spent ; and the herds of cattle are my lord's ; there is nought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: 19 wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and oiir land ? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land irill be servants unto Pharaoh : and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not deso- 20 late. So Joseph'bonght all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh ; for the Egj-ptians sold every man his field, because the famine was sore upon 21 them : and the land became Pliaraoh's. And as for the people, ''he removed them 'to the cities from one end of the border, of Egyjit even •22 to the other end thereof. Only the land of the priests bought he not: for the priests had a portion froni Pharaoh, and did eat their portion wliich Pharaoh gave them ; wherefore they sold 23 not their land. Then Joseph said mito the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh : lo, here is seed for 24 you, and ye shall sow the land.

Behold, thy son Joseph Cometh unto thee ; and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. 3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at * Luz iu the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 4 And said unto me. Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I wUl make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. 5 H And now thy * two sons, Epliraim and Ma- nasseh, which were born unto thee in the laud of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egyjit, are niuie; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their Inheritance. 7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, * Rachel died by me in the laud of Canaan in the way, when yiet there vas but a httle way to come unto Ephrath : and I buried her there iu the way of Ephrath; the same is Beth-lehem. 8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these? 9 And Joseph said unto his father. They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this^^ace. And he said. Bring them, if iiray thee, imto me, and I will bless them. 10 Now the eyes of Israel were *dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. 11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face : and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed. 1'2 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim m his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manassdi iu his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought fhfia near unto him. 14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephrahn's head, who vas the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseli's head, guiding his bauds wittingly ; for Manasseh teas the first- bom. 1.5 U And * he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before for your food, and for them of youK households, 25 and for food for your little ones. And they said, Thou hast saved our lives : let us find gi-ace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's 20 servants. And Joseph made it a statute^ con- ^erniiig the land of Egyiit unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth,; only the land of the priests alone , became" not Pharaoh's. 27 And Israel dwelt ui the land of Egypt, iu the therein, and were fruitfii y gat tm 111/ and" multiiilied ex- land of Goshen ; and they_gatjhem possessions therein, a ceedingly. 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seven- teen years : so the days of Jacob, the years of }ii_s life, were an hiuidred forty and seven years. 29 And the time drew near that Israel must die : and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him. If now I have foimd grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand mider my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me ; bury me not, I 30 pray thee, in Egyjit : but when I sleeii with my fathers, ,thou shalt carry me out "61 Egypt, and bury me'^in their bui-yingplace.

Behold, we be thy servants. 19 Aud Joseph said uuto them, *Fear not: for am I in the place of God ? 20 But as for you, ye thought evU against me; but God meant it unto good, to bruig to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 21 Now therefore fear ye not : I will nourish you, and yom' little ones.

Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, aud I wiU come agam. 6 And Pharaoh said. Go up, aud bury thy father, 7 according as he made thee swear. And Joseph weut up to bury bis father : and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of 8 Egypt, and all the house of Joseph, and his bretln'en, and his father's house: only then' little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, 9 they left in the land of Goshen. And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: 10 and it was a very gi*eat company. And they came to the thi*eshing-floor of Atad, which is beyoud Jordan, and there they lamented with a very gi*eat and sore lamentation : and he made 11 a moivrnmg for his father seven days. And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaan- ites, saw the mourning m the floor of Atad, they said. This is a grievous ^mourning to the Egyptians : wherefore the name of it was called 12 Abel-mizraim, which is beyoud Jordan. And his sons did unto bun accordhig as he com- 13 manded them : for bis sons earned him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, for a possession of a burying- place, of Ephron the Hittite, before Matm-e. 14 And Josei^h returned into Egjiit, he, and his bretlu-eu, aud all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had bmied his father. 15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, It may be that Joseph w'ill hate us, and wiU fully requite us 16 all the evil which we did unto him. And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying. Thy father 17 did command before be died, saying. So shall ye say mito Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgi'ession of thy bretliren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil : aud uow, we pray thee, forgive the h^isgression of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph 18 wept when they spake unto bim. And his brethren also weut and fell down before his face; aud they said. Behold, Ave be thy serv- 19 ants. And Joseph said mito them. Fear not : 20 for am I in the place of God ? And as for you, ye meant CAil against me ; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save 21 much peoiile ahve. Now therefore fear ye not : I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake ^ kindly uuto them. 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egji>t, he, and his father's house: and Joseph Uved an hundred 23 aud ten years. Aud Joseph saw Ephi'aun's children of the tbti-d generation: the children also of Machir the son of Mauasseh were born 24 upon Joseph's knees. Aud Joseph said luito his brethren, I die: biit God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land uuto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and 25 to Jacob. And Joseph took an oath of the childi'en of Israel, saying, God will surely Aisit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from 26 hence.

And all the souls that came out of the loms of Jacob were seventy souls : and Joseph C was in Egypt ah-eady. And Joseph died, and 7 all his hrethi'en, and all that generation. And the children of Israel were fruitful, and in- creased abimdautly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty ; and the land was filled with them. 8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, 9 which knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people. Behold, the people of the children of 10 Israel are 'more and mightier than we: come, let us deal wisely with them ; lest they multi- ply, and it come to pass, that, when there fall- eth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and. get them 11 up out of the land. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh 12 store cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they aflhcted them, the more they multi- jilied and the more they spread abroad. And they 2 were grieved because of the chil(b*en of 13 Israel.

When ye do the office of a niid- wife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birthstool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him ; but if it be a daughter, then she shall 17 live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but 18 saved the men childi-en ahve. And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them. Why have ye done this tiling, and have 19 saved the men children alive ? And the mid- wives said imto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women ; for they are hvely, and are delivered ere the midwife 20 come, unto them.

'21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man : and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 22 And she b;ire//i/« a sou, and he called his name *Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a sb'ange Lind. 23 II And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egvi't died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and then" cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. Every son that is born ye sliall cast into ^ihe river, and every daughter ye shall save aUve. 2 And there went a man of the house of Levi, *2 and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a gooiUy child, she 3 hid him three months. And when she could not longer hide hiin, she took for him an ark of 2iiuli-ushes, and daubed it with '^ slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and 4 laid it in the flags by the river's brink. And his sister stood afar off, to know what would 5 be done to him. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river ; and her maidens walked along by the river side; and^ she s:iw the ark among the flags, and sent her 6 handmaid to fetch it. And. she opened it,_^iid saw the child : and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, 7 This is one of the Hebrews' children. Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that 8 she may nm-se the child for thee ? And Pha- raoh's daughter said to her. Go. And the maid 9 went and called the child's mother. And Pha- raoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And tlie woman took the child, and 10 nursed it. And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her sou. And she called his name ^ Moses, and^said. Because I '^drew him out of the water. 11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their bm'dens: and he saw an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of 12 his brethren. And he looked tliis way and that way, aud when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Eg^iitian, and hid him in the 13 sand. Aud.he weut out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove to- gether : and he said to him that did the -UTong, 14 ^\llerefore smitest thou thy fellow ? And he said, Wlio made thee a prince and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me. as thou killedst the Egyjjtian? And Moses feared, aud said, 15 Sm'ely the thing is kno\\'n. Now when Pha- raoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian : and he sat do^vn 16 by a well. Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water then- father's flock. 17 And the shepherds came and drove -them away: but Moses stood np aud helped them, and wa- 18 tered their flock. And when they came to Eeuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come 19 so soon to-day? And they said, An Egyptian de- livered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and ^wreover he drew water, for us, and watered the 20 flock. And he said imto his daughters, And where is he ? why is it that ye have left the man ? 21 call him, that he may eat bread. Aiid Moses was content to dwell with the man : and he gave 22 Moses Zipjiorah his daughter. And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom : for he said, I have been ''a sojom*ner in a strange land. 23 And it came to pass in the course of those many daySj that the king of Egypt died: and the chihlren of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto (iod by reason of the bondage.

Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants? 16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us.

G Win rrfore say unto tin' L-liildruii of Ist.kI, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I vnh rid you out of then* bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out ai-m, and with great judgments : 7 And I will take you to me for a peojtle, and I will be to you a God: and yo shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you in unto the land, con- cerning the which I did t swear to give it to Abra- ham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage; I am the Lord. 9 If And Moses spake so unto the childi-en of Israel; but they hearkened not unto Moses for T anguish of spu'it, and for cruel bondage. 10 And the Loud spake unto Moses, saying. 6 8 10 out, and then- officers, and they spake to the people, saj-ing, Thus saith Pharaoli, I will not give you straw. Go yom-selves, get you straw Avhere ye can find it : for nought of your work shall be diminished. So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. And the taskmasters were urgent, saying. Fulfil your works, yuur daily tasks, as when there was straw. And the officers of the children of Is- i-ael, which Pharaohs taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, land demanded. Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and to-day,_in making brick as heretofore? Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried mito Pharaoh, sajing, Wherefore deal- est thou thus with thy servants ? There is no straw given imto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people. But he said. Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and^sacrifice to the Lord. Go therefore now, and work ; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they '-^were in evil case, when it was said, Ye shall not minish aught from yom' bricks^^/oH/* daily tasks. And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood iu the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh : and they said unto them. The Loud look upon you, and judge ; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred ui the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou-evil entreated this people ? why is it that thou hast sent me ? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath evil entreated' this people ; neither hast thou dehvered thy people at all. And the Loud said mito Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh : for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. And God spake ;mto Moses, and said unto him, I am jeiiovaji: and I appeared unto Abraham, luito Isaac, and unto Jacob, as ^God Almighty, but ^hj my name jehovah*^ was not ^ known to them. And I have also estab- lished my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojourn- ings, wherein they sojourned. And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Is- rael, whom the Egj'ptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. "WTiere- fore say unto the chikb-en of Israel, I am Je- hovah, and I will bruig you out from under the bm'dens of the EgyjJtians. and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judge- ments: and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God, wliich bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egypt- ians.

And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that t/i<:re is none like unto the Lord our God. 11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain ui the river only. 12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh : and Moses cried imto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. 13 And the Lord did accoi'ding to the word of Moses ; and the frogs died out of tlie houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. 14; And they gatliered them together npou heaps: and the land stank. 15 Lut when Pharaoh saw that there was re.spite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them ; as the Lord had said. 16 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Say nnto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite tlie dust of the laud, that it may become Kce throughout all the laud of Egypt. 17 And they did so ; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his i'(jd, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and hi beast; aU the dust of the land became lice thi'onghont all the land of Egypt. 18 And the magicians did so with their enchant- ments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 19 Then the magicians said mito Pharaoh, This is the Jhiger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said. 20 T[ And the Lord said mito Moses, Rise up early in the moniing, and stand before Pharaoh ; lo, he Cometh forth to the water ; ami say unto him. Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may seiwe me. 21 Else, it thou wUt not let my people go, behold, I will send ' swanns of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into tliy houses : and the houses of the Egyjitians shall be full of swanns of flies, and also the gromid where- on they are. 22 And I will sever iu that day the land of Goshen, in which my peoide dwell, that no swai-ms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. 23 And I will put *a division between ray peoxde and thy people : to morrow shall this sign be. 24 And the Lord did so; and * there came which shall go up and come into thine house, and mto thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of tliy servants, and upon thy people, and hito thine ovens, and into thy kneading- 4 troughs : and the frogs shall come uji both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy serv- 5 ants. And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thhie hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the istreams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the 6 land ot Egyjit. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egyjit ; and the frogs 7 came up, and covered the land of Egypt. And the magicians did in like manner with theu' enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the 8 land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Litreat the Lord, that h^ take away the frogs from me, and from my people ; and I will let the people go, that they 9 maysacritice unto the Lord. And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Have thou thja glory over me ; n^inst what time shall I intreat tor thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, Ihat the frogsjie destroygd from thee and thy houses, lOjuuTii'emain iu the river only? And he said. Against to-morrow. And he siid. Be it accord- lug to thy word: that thou mayest know that 11 there is none like mito the Lord our God. And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy Xieople; they shall remain m the river only. 12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the Lord coneernmg the frogs Sivhich he had brought upon Pharaoh. 13 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, 14 out of the comls, and out of the fields. And they gathered them together in heaps : and the 15 land stank. But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he 'hardened his heart, and heark- ened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken. IG And the Lord said nnto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become ■> lice through- 17 out all' the laud of Egypt. And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and there were lice upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all 18 the laud of Egypt. And the magicians did so with theu- enchantments to bruig forth lice, but they could not: and there were lice upon 19 man, and upon beast. Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart * was hardened, and he heark- ened not unto them ; as the Lord had sjioken, 20 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh ; lo, he Cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the Loud, Let my people go, 21 that they may serve me.

It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacriiice the abomination of the Egyiitians to the Loud our God: lo, shall we sacritice the abomination of the Egyptians before theii* eyes, and uiU thoy not stone us? 27 We will go three days' journey into the wild- erness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as *he shall command us. 28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you fio. that ye may sacriiice to the Loud yom- (iod in the wild- erness ; only ye shall not go vei"y far away : intreat for me. 29 And Moses said. Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the Lord that the swarms of files may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow : but let not Pha- raoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the peoi>le go to sacrifice to the Lord. 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and in- treated the Lord. 31 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of files from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one. 32 And Pharaoli hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go. 9 Then the Lord said mlto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my jieople go, that they may servo me. 2 For if thou refuse to let them, go, and wilt hold them still, 3 Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, ui^on the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall he a vei-y grievous murrain. 4 And the Lord shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egyjit : and there shall nothing die of all that is the chilcU'en's of Israel. 5 And the Lord appointed a set time, saying.

And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. 8 *,\ And tlie Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron.

Thus saith the Lord God of grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pha- raoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egj-pt the land was ^ corrupted by 25 reason of the swanns of flies. And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go 26 ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. And Moses said. It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egypt- ians to the Lord om' God: lo, shall we sacri- fice the abomination of the Eg^>-ptians Jjefore 27 then* eyes, and will they not stone us? We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he shall 28 command us. And Phai-aoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the Lord yoiu' God in the wilderness ; only ye shall not go very far 29 away: mtreat for me. And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pha- raoh, from his servants, and from his peoi^le, to-moiTow : only let not Pharaoh deal deceit- fully any more in not letting the i>eoiile go to 30 sacrifice to the Lord. And Jloses went out 31 from Pharaoh, and iiitreated the Lord.

And Pharaoh -hard- ened bis heart^his time also, and he did not let the people go. ' 9 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Phai-aoh, and tell him. Thus saith the Lord. the God of the Hebrews.

For if thou refuse to let 3 them go, and wilt hold tiiem still, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field, npon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, niion the herds, and upon the jlocks : (here shall he a very giievous murrain. 4 And the Lord shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egj-jjt : and there shall nothmg flie of all that belongeth to the children 5 of Israel.

And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not ^p much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead, ^ut the heart of Pharaoh was '''stubboni, and he did not let the peo- ple go. 8 And the Lord said unto Moses and mito Aaron, Take to you bandfuls of ■* ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the 9 heaven in the sight of Pliaraoh.

And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven : and the Lord sent thunder and haU, and fire ran down unto the_carth; aud the Lord rained bad upon 24 the~Kiiil of Egyiit. So there was hail, and fire 1 mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egviit smce it 25 became a nation. And the hail smote tlu-ougb- out all the land of Egyiit all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote evei'y herb of the field, and brake every tree of 26 the fielil. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel v.'ere. was there no hail. 27 And Pharaoh sent, aud called for Moses and Aaron, and said mito them, I have sinned this time : the Lord is righteous, and I and lay 28 people are i\icked. Intreat the Lord; for there hath been enough of thesc^ '-mighty thunder- iugs and hail ; and T"wiil let you go, and ye 29 shall stay no longer. And Moses said unto him. As soon as I am gone out of the city, I "will siiread abroad my hands unto the Lord; the thuudere shall cease, neither shall there lie any more hail ; that thou mayest know that the 30 earth is the Lord's. But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye wUl not yet fear the 31 Lord God. And the flax and the barley irere smitten : for the barley was in the ear, and the 32 flax "was boiled. But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten: for they were not growni up. 33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his liaiids unto the Lord; and the thunders aud hail ceased, and the rain 34 was not pomed upon the earth. And when Pharaoh saw that the rain aud the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and 35 ■• hardened his heart, he and his servants. And the heart of Pharaoh ^was hardened, and he did not let the chUdren of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by Moses. 10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in mito Pharaoh: for I have ^hardened his heart, and R.V. 1 Or, ,ftashinfj eontinu- altji amidst (or thiin- derintis) of Giid. 3 Or, teas in bloom ■1 Hob. made heavi/. 5 Hob. leas stronp. 74 EXODUS.

And he turned, and went out from 7 Pharaoh. And Pharaoh's servants said unto hun. How long shall this man be a snare unto us ? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God : knowest thou not yet that 8 Egypt is destroyed ? Aud Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh : and he said unto them. Go, serve (he Loud yonr God : but 9 who are they that shall go? And Moses said, \ie will go with oiu' yomig and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we 10 must hold a feast unto the Lord. And he said unto them. So be_ the Lord with you, as I will le£ you go, and your little ones : look to it ; for evil is 11 ^beforeyou. Notso: go now ye that are men,. and serve the Lord ; for that is what ye desu-e. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence. 12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, aii'l '?i»t every herb of the land, even 13 all that the hail hath left. And Moses stretched forth liis rod over the land of Egjiit. and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land aU that day, and all _the night ; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14 And tlie locusts went up over all the laud of Egypt, aud rested in all the boi-ders of Egj-pt ; very gi-ievons were they ; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after 15 them shall be such. For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was dark- ened ; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left : and there remained not any gi'ceu thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the ICriaiid of Egj-pt. Tlien Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste ; and he said, I have shmeil against the Lord your God, and against you. 17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my siu only this once, and hitreat the Lord yom* God, that he may take away from me this death only. 18 Aud be went out from Pharaoh, and intreated 19 the Lord. And the Lord turned an exc^edins strong west whid, which took jip, the locusts, aud drove them into the Picd Sea; there re- main"ed not one locust in all the border of Egypt. 20 But the Lord 'hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.

And the people bowed the head and worshipi>ed. 2S And the chilikeu of Israel went away, and did as the LoBD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so (Ud they. 29 11 *Aud it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote aU the firstborn in the laud of EgjiJt, 'from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the fii'stborn of the captive that was in the * dungeon ; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and aU his servants, and all the Egy^itians ; and there was a gi-eat cry in EgyiJt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 31 If And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said. Rise up. and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the chihU'en of Israel ; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. 32 Also take your flocks and your hei'ds, as ye have said, and be gone ; and bless me also. 33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the peo- ple, that they might send them out of the land m haste; for they said, We ie all dead men. 34 And the people took theu" dough before it was leavened, their » kneadmgtroughs being boimd uj) in then- clothes upon their shoulders. 35 And the chilih'en of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they bon'owed of the Egyjitiaus 'jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 3G And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyirtians, so that they lent unto them such thuifis as they required.

It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, iwho passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egvptians, and de- livered oiu* houses. And the people bowed the 23 head and worshipped. And the children of Israel went^ and did so ; as the Lord had com- manded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 29 And it came to pass at midnight, that the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egj-pt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and aU the fh-stborn 30 of cattle. And Pharaoh rose ui) in the night, be, and all his servants, and all the Egj'ptians ; and there was a gi'eat cry in Egypt ; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said. Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel ; 32 and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. , Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have 33 said, and be gone ; and bless me also. And the Egyptians were m'gent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We 34 be all dead men. And the people took their dough before it was leavened, then- kneading- troughs being boimd up in then- clothes upon 35 then* shoulders. And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses ; and they asked of the Egyjitians jewels of silver, and jewels of 36 gold, and raiment : and the Lord gave the peo- ple favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Aud they spoUed the Egyptians. 37 And the childi-en of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand 38 on foot that were men, beside childi'en. And a mixed multitude went ux> also with them ; and 39 flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. And they baked mileavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egyjit, for it was not leavened ; because they were thi-ust out of Egyjjt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared 40 for themselves any victual.

And when Phai-aoh di-ew nigh, the chiliU-eu of Israel lifted up then- eyes, and, behold, the Egj-ptians mai-ched after them ; and they were sore afraid : aud the chiliU-en of 11 Israel cried out unto the Lord.

Say unto all the congregation of the cliildren of Israel, Come near before the Loud: for he hath heai'd your miuTnurmgs. 10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake imto the whole congregation of the cliildren of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the gloiy of the Lord *apj>eai"ed in the cloud. 11 ^[ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 1*2 I have heard the munnuriiigs of the children of Israel: speak mito them, saying. At even ye shall eat flesh, and iu the morning ye shall be filled with bread J aud ye shall know that I am the Lord your God. 13 And it came to pass, that at even * the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morn- ing the dew lay rotmd about the host. li And when * the dew that lay was gone up, be- hold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thuig, as small as the hoar frost on the gi-ound. 15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, n It / :>• manna : for they wist not what it vas. And Moses said mito them. * This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. 16 1[ This is the thing which the Lord hath com- manded, Gather of it every man according to liis eating, an omer +for eveiy man, accordimj to the number of yom- ^persons; take ye eveiy man for them which are in his tents. 17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. IS And when they did mete it with an omer, *he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon tTie Egyptians ; for I am the Lord that he-.ileth thee. 27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve sjirings of water, and threescore and ten pahn trees: and they encamped there liy the waters. 10 .And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came mito the wilderness of Sin, which is be- tween Elun and Sinai, on the lil'teenth day of the second month after their departing out of *2 the laud of Egj-^it. And the wliole congi-ega- tion of tlie children of Israel murmm-ed against Moses and agaijist Aaron iu the wilderness: 3 and the children of Israel ,said unto them, "VVoultl,vthat we had died by the hand of tlie TiORD in the land of Eg>i>t, when we sat by the flesh i)ots,^wheii W'e did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilder- ness, to kill this whole assembly with hmigur. ■1 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you ; aud the peo- ple shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether 5 they will walk hi my law. or no. And it shall come to XJass.on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring iu, and it shall C be twice as much as tliey gather daily. Aiid Moses and Aaron said unto all the cliildren tiaus. 10 And Jethro said, Blessed he the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the band of the EgN^it- ians, and out of the band of Pharaoh, who hatli delivered the people from under the hand of the EgJi>tians. 11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: *for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them. 1"2 And Jethro, Moses* father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron 6 Behold, I wilj stand before thee thei'e upon the rock in Horeb ; and thou slialt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the 7 sight of the elders of Israel. Aud he called the name of the idace ^Massab, and "Meribah, be- cause of the striyiug of the cliildreu of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saylug, Is the Lord among us, or not ? 8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel 9 in Eephiduu. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose ns out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine baud. 10 So Joshua did as Moses bad said to him, and fought with Amalek : and Moses, Aaron, and 11 Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed : and when be let down 12 his hand, Amalek i)revailed. But Moses' hands were heavy ; and they took a stone, and i>ut it under liim, and he sat thereon ; and Aaron and Hur stayed up bis hands, the oue on the one side, and the other on the other side; and Iiis hands were steady until the going down of the 13 sun. And Joshua ^discomfited Amalek and his 14 people ^vilh the edge of the sword. And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memor- ial in a book, and rehearse it ui the ears of Joshua: '^tJiat I will utterly blot out the re- 15 memhrauceof Amalek from under heaven. And Moses Ijuilt an altai', aud called the name of it Ifi ^Jehovah-nissi: and he said, ^^ The Lord hatli sworn:^the Lord ■^i.ll have war with Amalek from generation to generation. 18 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God liad done for JIosos, and for Israel bis peoiile, liow that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 Aud Jetln-o, Moses' father in law, took Zip- porab, Moses' wife, after be had sent her awa^j 3 and her two sons ; of which the name of tlie one was Gershom; for he said, I have been 7a 4 sojourner in a strange land: and the name of the other was ^Ehezer; for he said, The God of my father was my hel2>, and delivered me 5 from the sword of Pharaoh : aud Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness where he was 6 encamped, at the mount of God : and he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jetlu'o am come unto thee, aud thy wife, and her two sons 7 with her. And Moses weut out to meet bis father in law, and did obeisance, aud kissed bun; and they asked each other of their wel- 8 fare ; and they came into the tent. And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done mito Pharaoh and to the Egjiitians for Israel's sake, all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and bow the Lord de- 9 livered them. Aud Jetlu'o rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, in that he had deUvered Jthem out of the band of 10 tlie Egyptians. Aud Jethro said, Blessed he the Lord, who hath deHvered you out of the hand of the EgT,i3tians, and out of the hand of Pliaraoh; who hath delivered the people from 11 mider tlie hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the Loud is greater than all gods: yea, in the thuig whcreui they dealt proudly against 12 them.

Be- cause the people come luito me to enquire of God : 16 WTien they have a matter, they come luito me ; and I judge between ' one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws. 17 And Moses' father in law said tmto him, The thhig that thou doest is not good. 18 t Thou wilt sm-ely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee : for this thmg is too heavy for thee ; * thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. 19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mnyest bring the causes imto God : 20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must waUi, and the work that they must do, 21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness ; and iilace such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and mlers of hundi'eds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: 22 And let them judge the jieople at all seasons : and it shall be, that every gi'eat matter they shall bring imto thee, but evei-y small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the hurdcn with thee. 23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God com- mand thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace. 21 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said. 25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, inilers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. 27 ^r -And Moses let his father m law depart ; and he went his way into his own laud. 19 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. 2 For they were departed from Eephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness ; and there Israel camped before the mount. 3 And * Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called tmto him out of the moimtain, s.Tyiug. Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel ; 4 * Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyjitians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now * therefore, if ye will obey my voice in- deed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure imto me above all people: for * all the earth is mine : 6 .And ye shall be unto me a 'kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 7 IT And Moses came and called for the elders of the peoide, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded hun. came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God. 13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the i^eoiile stood about Moses from the moniing luito the even- 14 ing. And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said. What is this thmg that thou doest to the people ? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand 15 about thee from mornmg tuito even ? And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the 16 people come luito me to inquu'e of God : when they have a matter, they come imto me ; and I judge between a man and his neighboiu-, and I make them Imow the statutes of God, and his 17 laws. And Moses' father m law said tmto him, 18 The thing that thou doest is not good. Thou wUt sm'ely wear away, both thou, and this pco- Ijle that is with thee : for the thing is too heavy for thee ; thou art not able to perfoiTn it thyself 19 alone. Hearken now imto my voice, I will give thee cotmsel, and God be with thee: be thou for the people to God-ward, and bring thou the 20 causes unto God : and thou shalt teach them the statutes and the laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work 21 that they must do. Moreover thou shalt pro- vide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain ; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers 22 of tens: and let them judge the people at all seasons : and it shall be, that every great mat- ter they shall bring tmto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves : so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the 23 burden with thee. If thou shalt do this tlung, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people also shall go 24 to then- place in peace. So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father hi law, and did all 25 that he liad said. And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hund- 26 reds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. And they judged the people at aU seasons : the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every 27 small matter they judged themselves. And Moses let his father in law depart ; and he wont his way into his oivii land. 19 In the third month after the children of Is- rael were gone forth out of the land of Egyjit, the same day came they into the wilderness of 2 Sinai. And when they were departed from Eephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Smai, they jiitched in the wilderness j and there- 3 Israel camped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying. Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the 4 childi-en of Israel ; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye Tiill obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a pecuhar treasm-e unto me ifroirL among all 6 peoples ; for all the earth is mine : and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of 7 Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the Lord commanded him.

IS And •mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire : and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked gi-eatly. 19 And when the voice of the tnimpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered hun by a voice. 20 And the Lord came dowii upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went np. 21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, ' charge the people, lest they break through imto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish. 22 And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them. 23 And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou ehai'g- edst us, saying.

And Moses told the words 10 of the people mito the Lord. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash 11 their garments, and be ready against the tliii'd day : for the thii'd day the Lord mil come down ill the sight of all the peojile upon momit Shiai. 12 And thou shalt set bounds luito the people round about, saying.

But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine ad- 23 versaries. For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amoritej^ and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaan- ite, the Hivite, and the Jebusitc: and I will 24 cut them off. Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after then' works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, 25 aud break iji_^j^ieces their ^j^iUars. And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water ; and I will take 26 siclmess away from the midst of thee. There shall none cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 27 I will send my terror before thee, and will dis- comfit all the peoiile to whom thon shalt come, and 1 will make all thme enemies turn then- 23 backs unto thee. And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before 29 thee. I will not dilve them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 30 By little and little I v>'ill drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit 31 the land. And I mil set thy border from the Red Sea even uuto the sea of the Phihstines, and from the wilderness unto s the River : for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into yoiU" hand; and thou shalt diive them out be- 32 fore thee. Thou shalt make no covenant with 33 them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin agamst me : for if thou serve theu' gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. 24 And he said nnto Moses, Come up unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; aud worship 2 ye afar off : and Moses alone shall come near unto the Lord ; but they shall not come near ; 3 neither shall the iieople go up with him. And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, aud all the judgements: and all the people answered with one voice, and said. All the words which the Lord hath spoken 4 will we do. And Moses ^vi-ote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar imder the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve ti'ibes of 5 Israel.

And I, behold, I have appointed with him Ohohab, the son of Abisamach, of the tribe of Dan ; and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have 7 commanded thee : the tent of meetmg, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent ; 8 and the table and its vessejs, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of 9 incense ; and the altar of burnt offering with all 10 its vessels, and the laver and its base; and the 2 finely wrought gai-meuts, and the holy gar- ments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's otEce; 11 and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place : accortUng to"^ that I have commanded thee shall they do. 12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak thou also mito the chileople. Ye have sinned a great sin : and now I will go up unto the Lord ; perad- venture I shall make an atonement for your sin. 31 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said. Oh. tills people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin — ; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 33 And the Lord said unto Moses, "Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 31 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will risit their sin upon them. 35 K\iA the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. 33 And the Lord said unto Moses. Depart, anil go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egyjit, unto the land which I sware unto .\brabam, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying. * Unto thy seed wUl I give it ; 2 *.\nd I will send an angel before thee; and I will th-ive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite : 3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey : for I will not go up in the midst of thee ; for thou art a * stiffneclied people : lest I consume thee in the way. 4 ir And when the peoiile heard these evil tid- ings, they mom-ned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people : I will come \\]} into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee : therefore now put off thy orna- ments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. C And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by tlie mount Horeb. 7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congi'egation. And it came to pass, that eveiy one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congi'eg- ation, which iras without the camp. 8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and 23 For they said imto me.

And I said unto tiiem, Wliosoever bath any gold, let them break it off ; so they gave it me : ami I cast it 25 into the fire, and there came out this calf. And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose; for .Aaron had let them Joose for a ^de- 2G rision among theii" enemies: then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said. "Whoso is on the Lord's side, let him come unto rae. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves to- 27 gether unto him. And he said uuto them. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fi'o from gate to'^gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his 28 companion, and every man his neigbbom-. And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses:" and there fell of the people that day 29 about three thousand men. And Moses said, 2 Consecrate yom'selves to-day to the Lord, 'yea, every man -lagainst bis son, and ■'against bis brother; tbatTie may bestow upon you a .30 blessing this day. And it came to jiass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Y'e have sinned a gi'eat sin : and now I will go up unto the Lord ; peradventm*e I shall make. 31 atonement for your sin. And Moses returnecT unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods 32 of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray tbee, out of 33 thy book which thou hast written. And the Lord said unto Moses, Wliosoever hath smned agamst me, liim will I blot out of my book. 31 And now go, lead the people imto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mme angel shall go before thee : nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon 35 them. And the Lord smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. 33 And the Lord spake uuto Moses, Depart, ^go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out oT the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying. Unto thy seed will I give 2 it: and I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the .Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and 3 the Jebusite : mito a land flowing with mUk and honey : for I will not go up in the midst of thee ; for thou art a stiffnecked people : lest I 4 consume thee in the way.

And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments fnjm mount Horeb oiiward. 7 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it.
