And Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram and they went out from Ur of the Chaldees, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and were there for some time.

And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba.

And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.

I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest

And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;

And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.

Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.

Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

And Esau said, Then keep some of my men with you. And he said, What need is there for that, if my lord is pleased with me?

So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.

And some traders from Midian went by; so pulling Joseph up out of the hole, they gave him to the Ishmaelites for twenty bits of silver, and they took him to Egypt.

Then they took Joseph's coat, and put on it some of the blood from a young goat which they had put to death,

And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.

But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with them, for fear, as he said, that some evil might come to him.

And Joseph said, It is as I said; you have come with some secret purpose;

Now at their night's resting-place one of them, opening his bag to give his ass some food, saw his money in the mouth of the bag.

If now you take this one from me, and some evil comes to him, you will make my grey head go down in sorrow to the underworld.

And as for me, when I came from Paddan, death overtook Rachel on the way, when we were still some distance from Ephrath; and I put her to rest there on the road to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.
