And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. And the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel in laying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.

And Hamor conversed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. I pray you, give her to him to wife.

And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.

And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what ye shall say to me I will give.

and said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a reproach to us.

Only on this condition will we consent to you: If ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised.

Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us. And we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

But if ye will not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

These men are peaceable with us, therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it, for, behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

Only on this condition will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and killed all the males.

Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments.

For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright. And, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

And his brothers said to him, Shall thou indeed reign over us? Or shall thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

And he told it to his father, and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou have dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the ear

And Israel said to Joseph, Are not thy brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here I am.

And he said, I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding.

And the man said, They are departed from here, for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.

And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.

and he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not, and I, where shall I go?

Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute, who was at Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There has been no prostitute here.

When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man, whose these are, I am with child. And she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose these are, the signet, and the cords, and the staff.

And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.

He is not greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not hearken to her, to lay by her, [or] to be with her.

And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound. And he was there in the prison.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. And whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.

And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.

And he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in ward in his master's house, saying, Why do ye look so sad today?

And in the vine were three branches. And it was as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth, [and] the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes.

And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.

And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.

And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one.

And the seven lean and ill-favored cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind, they shall be seven years of famine.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. The food of the field, which was round about every city, he laid up in the same.

And two sons were born to Joseph before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

And Joseph saw his brothers, and he knew them, but made himself foreign to them, and spoke roughly with them. And he said to them. From where come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them. And said to them, Ye are spies; ye have come to see the nakedness of the land.

We are all one man's sons. We are TRUE men. Thy servants are no spies.

And they said, We thy servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. And, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

And Joseph said to them, This is that which I spoke to you, saying, Ye are spies.

By this ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth from here unless your youngest brother comes here.

Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother. And ye shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there be truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.

If ye be TRUE men, let one of your brothers be bound in your prison house, but go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses,

and bring your youngest brother to me. So shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

And they said one to another, We are truly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul when he besought us, and we would not hear. Therefore this distress has come upon us.

And we said to him, We are TRUE men, and we are no spies.

We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, By this I shall know that ye are TRUE men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take [grain for] the famine of your houses, and go your way,

and bring your youngest brother to me. Then I shall know that ye are no spies, but that ye are TRUE men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and ye shall trade in the land.
