And Israel went thence and pitched up his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

And it chanced, as Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and it came to Israel's ear. The sons of Jacob were twelve in number.

These are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king among the children of Israel.

And Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he begat him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors.

and Israel said unto Joseph, "Do not thy brethren keep in Shechem? Come, that I may send thee to them." And he answered, "Here am I."

And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among other that came, for there was dearth also in the land of Canaan.

And Israel said, "Wherefore dealt ye so cruelly with me, as to tell the man that ye had yet another brother?"

Then said Judah unto Israel his father, "Send the lad with me, and we will rise and go, that we may live and not die: both we, thou and also our children.

Then their father Israel said unto them, "If it must needs be so now: then do thus, take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a courtesy balm, and a courtesy of honey, spices and myrrh, dates and almonds.

And the children of Israel did even so. And Joseph gave them chariots at the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them victuals also to spend by the way.

And Israel said, "I have enough, if Joseph my son be yet alive: I will go and see him, yer that I die."

Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came unto Beersheba and offered offerings unto the God of his father Isaac.

And God said unto Israel in a vision by night, and called unto him, "Jacob, Jacob." And he answered, "Here am I."

And Jacob rose up from Beersheba. And the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their children and their wives in the chariots which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

These are the names of the children of Israel which came into Egypt, both Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's first son.

And Joseph made ready his chariot and went to meet Israel his father unto Goshen, and presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck and wept upon his neck a good while.

And Israel said unto Joseph, "Now I am content to die, insomuch I have seen thee, that thou art yet alive."

And Israel dwelt in Egypt, even in the country of Goshen. And they had their possessions therein, and they grew and multiplied exceedingly.

When the time drew nigh that Israel must die, he sent for his son Joseph and said unto him, "If I have found grace in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh and deal mercifully and truly with me, that thou bury me not in Egypt:

And he said, "Swear unto me." And he sware unto him. And then Israel bowed him unto the bed's head.

Then was it said unto Jacob, "Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee." And Israel took his strength unto him, and sat up on the bed,

And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, "What are these?"

And the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.

And Israel said unto Joseph, "I had not thought to have seen thy face, and yet lo, God hath showed it me and also thy seed."

Then took Joseph them both: Ephraim in his righthand, toward Israel's lefthand, and Manasseh in his lefthand, toward Israel's righthand, and brought them unto him.

And Israel stretched out his righthand and laid it upon Ephraim's head which was the younger, and his lefthand upon Manasseh's head, crossing his hands; for Manasseh was the elder.

And Israel said unto Joseph, "Behold, I die. And God shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

Gather you together and hear ye sons of Jacob, and hearken unto Israel your father.

Cursed be their wrath for it was strong, and their fierceness for it was cruel. I will therefore divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

and yet his bow bode fast, and his arms and his hands were strong, by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob: out of him shall come a herdsman, a stone in Israel.

And Joseph commanded his servants that were physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalmed Israel forty days long,

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel and said, "God will not fail but visit you: see therefore that ye carry my bones hence."

the children of Israel grew, increased, multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty: so that the land was full of them.

And he said unto his folk, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.

But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grew: so that they abhorred the children of Israel.

And the Egyptians held the children of Israel in bondage without mercy,

Then said Moses unto God, "When I come unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you,' and they say unto me, 'What is his name?' - What answer shall I give them?"

Then said God unto Moses, "I Will Be What I Will Be." And he said, "This shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I Will Be did send me to you.'"

And God spake further unto Moses, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you': this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial throughout all generations.

Go therefore and gather the elders of Israel together and say unto them, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, appeared unto me and said: I have been and seen both you and that which is done to you in Egypt.

If it come to pass that they hear thy voice, then go, both thou and the elders of Israel unto the king of Egypt, and say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: Let us go therefore three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.'

And tell Pharaoh, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: Israel is mine eldest son,

So went Moses and Aaron and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel.

Then Moses and Aaron went and told Pharaoh, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel: 'Let my people go, that they may keep holy day unto me in the wilderness.'"

And Pharaoh answered, "What fellow is the LORD, that I should hear his voice for to let Israel go?

I know not the LORD, neither will let Israel go." And they said, "The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he smite us either with pestilence or with sword."

And the officers of the children of Israel which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten. And it was said unto them, "Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and today, as well as in times past?"

Then went the officers of the children of Israel and complained unto Pharaoh saying, "Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?

When the officers of the children of Israel saw themself in shrewd case - in that he said, 'ye shall minish nothing of your daily making of brick' -

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, because the Egyptians keep them in bondage, and have remembered my covenant.

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and will rid you out of their bondage, and will deliver you with a stretched-out arm and with great judgments.

only in the land of Goshen where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

So was the heart of Pharaoh hardened, that he would not let the children of Israel go, as the LORD had said by Moses.

But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

Speak ye unto all the fellowship of Israel, saying that they take, the tenth day of this month, to every household: a sheep.

And ye shall keep him inward, until the fourteenth day of the same month. And every man of the multitude of Israel shall kill him about even.

Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread, so that even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be plucked out from Israel.

Seven days see that there be no leavened bread found in your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be rooted out from the multitude of Israel: whether he be a stranger or born in the land.

And Moses called for the elders of Israel and said unto them, "Choose out, and take to every household a sheep and kill, Passover.
