And of this fashion shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, and the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

And the LORD said unto Noah, "Go into the ark both thou and all thy household. For thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

And God said, "This is the token of my covenant which I make between me and you, and between all living thing, that is with you forever:

And God said unto Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have made between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

And the LORD said, "See, the people is one and have one tongue among them all: And this have they begun to do, and will not leave off from all that they have purposed to do.

Then the LORD appeared unto Abram and said, "Unto thy seed will I give this land." And he built an altar there unto the LORD which appeared to him.

After this there came a dearth in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the dearth was sore in the land.

And Abram answered, "LORD Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? I go childless, and the cater of mine house, this Eliezer of Damascus, hath a son."

And he said unto him, "I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur in Chaldea to give thee this land to possess it."

And he said unto Abram, "Know this of a surety, that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that pertaineth not unto them. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreat them evil, four hundred years.

And that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "Unto thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt, even unto the great river Euphrates:

This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee: that ye circumcise all your men children.

But my covenant will I make with Isaac, which Sara shall bear unto thee: even this time, twelve month."

That be far from thee, that thou shouldest do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked: that be far from thee. Should not the Judge of all the world do according to right?"

And the men said moreover unto Lot, "If thou have yet here any son-in-law or sons or daughters or whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring it out of this place:

for we must destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before the LORD. Wherefore he hath sent us to destroy it."

And Lot went out and spake unto his sons-in-law, which should have married his daughters, and said, "Stand up and get you out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city!" But he seemed as though he had mocked, unto his sons-in-law.

And he said to him, "See, I have received thy request as concerning this thing, that I will not overthrow this city for the which thou hast spoken.

And on the morrow the elder said unto the younger, "Behold, yesternight lay I with my father. Let us give him wine to drink this night also, and go thou and lie with him, and let us save seed of our father."

And the younger bare a son and called him Benammi, which is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

Said not he unto me, that she was his sister? Yea, and said not she herself that he was her brother? With a pure heart and innocent hands have I done this!"

And Abimelech said moreover unto Abraham, "What sawest thou that moved thee to do this thing?"

And Abraham answered, "I thought that peradventure the fear of God was not in this place, and that they should slay me for my wife's sake:

And after God caused me to wander out of my father's house, I said unto her, 'This kindness shalt thou show unto me in all places where we come, that thou say of me, how that I am thy brother.'"

And unto Sara he said, "See, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, behold this thing shall be a covering to thine eyes unto all that are with thee and unto all men and an excuse."

Then she said unto Abraham, "Put away this bondmaid and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."

And Abimelech answered, "I wist not who did it: Also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it, but this day."

And he answered, "Seven lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well."

Then said the servant unto him, "What and if the woman will not agree to come with me unto this land, shall I bring thy son again unto the land which thou camest out of?"

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.

Nevertheless, if the woman will not agree to come with thee then shalt thou be without danger of this oath. But above all things bring not my son thither again."

And he said, "LORD God of my master Abraham, send me good speed this day, and show mercy unto my master Abraham.

Lo, I stand here by the well of water and the daughters of the men of this city will come out to draw water:

And I came this day unto the well and said, 'O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if it be so that thou makest my journey which I go, prosperous:

behold, I stand by this well of water, and when a virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her 'give me a little water of thy pitcher to drink,'

And they called forth Rebekah and said unto her, "Wilt thou go with this man?" And she said, "Yea."

and said unto the servant, "What man is this that cometh against us in the field?" And the servant said, "It is my master." And then she took her mantle, and put it about her.

And Jacob said, "Sell me this day thy birthright."

And Esau answered, "Lo, I am at the point to die, and what profit shall this birthright do me?"

And Jacob said, "Swear to me then this day." And he swore to him and sold his birthright unto Jacob.

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father,

Then said Abimelech, "Why hast thou done this unto us? One of the people might lightly have lain by thy wife and so shouldest thou have brought sin upon us."

Then Abimelech charged all his people saying, "He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely die for it."

And he called it Sheba, wherefore the name of the city is called Beersheba unto this day.

And see, I am with thee, and will be thy keeper in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land: Neither will I leave thee; until I have made good all that I have promised thee."

When Jacob was awaked out of his sleep, he said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware."

And he was afraid, and said, "How fearful is this place? It is none other, but even the house of God and the gate of heaven!"

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will keep me in this journey which I go and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to put on,

and this stone which I have set up on end, shall be God's house. And of all that thou shalt give me, will I give the tenth unto thee."

Laban answered, "It is not the manner of this place, to marry the youngest before the eldest.

Pass out this week, and then shall this also be given thee for the service which thou shalt serve me yet seven years more.

And she conceived again and bare a son, and said, "The LORD hath heard that I am despised, and hath therefore given me this son also." And she called him Simeon.

And she conceived yet, and bare a son, and said, "Now this once will my husband keep me company, because I have borne him three sons." And therefore she called his name Levi.

And Lea answered, "Is it not enough, that thou hast taken away my husband, but wouldest take away my son's mandragoras also?" Then said Rachel, "Well, let him sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandragoras."

And he said, "What shall I give thee?" And Jacob answered, "Thou shalt give me nothing at all, if thou wilt do this one thing for me: And then will I turn again and feed thy sheep and keep them.

I will go about all thy sheep this day, and separate from them all the sheep that are spotted and of divers colors, and all black sheep among the lambs, and the party and spotted among the kids: And then such shall be my reward.

And Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, how they said, "Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's, and of our father's goods, hath he gotten all this honour."

I am the God of Bethel where thou anointedest the stone and where thou vowdest a vow unto me. Now arise and get thee out of this country, and return unto the land where thou wast born.'"

Then said Laban to Jacob, "Why hast thou this done, unknowing to me, and hast carried away my daughters as though they had been taken captive with sword?

This twenty years that I have been with thee, thy sheep and thy goats have not been barren, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.

Laban answered and said unto Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the sheep are my sheep, and all that thou seest is mine. And what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?

Then said Laban, "This heap be witness between thee and me this day." Therefore is it called Gilead.

"And this toot-hill which the LORD seeth," said he, "be witness between me and thee when we are departed one from another:

And Laban said moreover to Jacob, "Behold, this heap and this mark which I have set here, betwixt me and thee:

this heap be witness and also this mark, that I will not come over this heap to thee, and thou shalt not come over this heap and this mark, to do any harm.

And when Jacob saw them, he said, "This is God's host," and called the name of that same place Mahanaim.

And he commanded them, saying, "See that ye speak after this manner to my LORD Esau, 'thy servant, Jacob, sayeth thus: I have sojourned and been a stranger with Laban unto this time;

I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and truth which thou hast showed unto thy servant. For with my staff came I over this Jordan, and now have I gotten two droves.

And he said unto them, "Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.

And when he had told it unto his father and his brethren, his father rebuked him, and said unto him, "What meaneth this dream which thou hast dreamed: shall I and thy mother and thy brethren come and fall on the ground before thee?"

and said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer cometh;

And it fortuned, after this, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, "Come lie with me."

He himself is not greater in the house than I, and hath kept nothing from me, but only thee because thou art his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, for to sin against God?"

And after this manner spake she to Joseph day by day; but he hearkened not unto her, to sleep near her or to be in her company.
