The LORD God of heaven which took me from my father's house and from the land where I was born, and which spake unto me and sware unto me saying 'unto thy seed will I give this land' - he shall send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife unto my son from thence.

and there was meat set before him to eat. But he said, "I will not eat, until I have said mine errand." And he said, "Say on."

and make me meat such as I love, and bring it me and let me eat that my soul may bless thee before that I die."

'bring me venison and make me meat, that I may eat and bless thee before the LORD yer I die.'

And he called the name of the place Bethel, for indeed the name of the city was called Luz before time.

And he commanded the foremost, saying, "When Esau my brother meeteth thee and asketh thee, saying, 'whose servant art thou and whither goest thou, and whose are these that go before thee?'

and say moreover. 'Behold thy servant Jacob cometh after us.'" For he said, "I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see him myself, so peradventure he will receive me to grace."

So went the present before him, and he tarried all that night in the tent,

And he went before them and fell on the ground seven times, until he came unto his brother.

When Joseph came home, they brought the present into the house to him, which they had in their hands, and fell flat on the ground before him.

And they sat before him; the eldest according unto his age, and the youngest according unto his youth. And the men marveled among themselves.

And they brought rewards unto them from before him: but Benjamin's part was five times so much as any of theirs. And they ate and they drank, and were drunk with him.

And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, for he was yet there, and they fell before him on the ground.

And Joseph could no longer refrain before all them that stood about him, but commanded that they should go all out from him, and that there should be no man with him, while he uttered himself unto his brethren.

And now be not grieved therewith, neither let it seem a cruel thing in your eyes, that ye sold me hither. For God did send me before you to save life.

Wherefore God sent me before you to make provision, that ye might continue in the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

Now therefore thy two sons Manasseh and Ephraim which were born unto thee before I came to thee, into Egypt, shall be mine: even as Reuben and Simeon shall they be unto me.

And Joseph took them away from his lap, and they fell on the ground before him.

And he blessed Joseph saying, "God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, and the God which hath fed me all my life long unto this day;
