And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dina, his daughter, but his sons were with the cattle in the field: and therefore he held his peace, until they were come.

Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob, to commune with him.

And the sons of Jacob came out of the field as soon as they heard it, for it grieved them, and they were not a little wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel, in that he had lain with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.

Then the sons of Jacob answered to Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, because he had defiled Dina their sister.

And the young man deferred not for to do the thing, because he had a lust to Jacob's daughter: he was also most set by of all that were in his father's house.

And the third day, when it was painful to them, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took either of them his sword and went into the city boldly, and slew all that was male;

Then came the sons of Jacob upon the deed, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister:

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "Ye have troubled me, and made me stink unto the inhabiters of the land, both to the Canaanites and also unto the Perizzites. And I am few in number. Wherefore they shall gather themselves together against me and slay me, and so shall I and my house be destroyed."

And God said unto Jacob, "Arise and get thee up to Bethel, and dwell there. And make there an altar unto God that appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from Esau thy brother."

Then said Jacob unto his household, and to all that were with him, "Put away the strange gods that are among you and make yourselves clean, and change your garments,

And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were under their hands, and all their earrings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under an oak at Shechem.

And they departed. And the fear of God fell upon the cities that were round about them, that they durst not follow after the sons of Jacob.

So came Jacob to Luz in the land of Canaan, otherwise called Bethel, with all the people that was with him.

And God appeared unto Jacob again after he came out of Mesopotamia, and blessed him,

and said unto him, "Thy name is Jacob. Notwithstanding thou shalt be no more called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name." And so was his name called Israel.

And Jacob set up a mark in the place where he talked with him; even a pillar of stone, and poured drink offering thereon and poured also oil thereon,

And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave, which is called Rachel's grave pillar unto this day.

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.

The sons of Lea: Reuben, Jacob's eldest son, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulon.

Then Jacob went unto Isaac his father to Mamre, a principal city, otherwise called Hebron: where Abraham and Isaac sojourned as strangers.

and then fell he sick and died, and was put unto his people being old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

And Esau took his wives, his sons and daughters and all the souls of his house; his goods and all his cattle and all his substance which he had got in the land of Canaan, and went into a country away from his brother Jacob.

And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, that is to say in the land of Canaan.

And these are the generations of Jacob. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he kept sheep with his brethren, and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and of Zilpah his father's wives. And he brought unto their father an evil saying that was of them.

And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth about his loins, and sorrowed for his son a long season.

When Jacob saw that there was corn to be sold in Egypt, he said unto his sons, "Why are ye negligent?

for Benjamin, Joseph's brother, would not Jacob send with his other brethren: for he said, "Some misfortune might happen him."

And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened them, saying,

And Jacob their father said unto them, "Me have ye robbed of my children: Joseph is away, and Simeon is away, and ye will take Benjamin away. All these things fall upon me."

And they departed from Egypt and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, and told him, saying,

"Joseph is yet alive and is governor over all the land of Egypt." And Jacob's heart wavered, for he believed them not.

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.

And they took their cattle and the goods which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt: both Jacob and all his seed with him;

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

These be the children of Lea which she bare unto Jacob in Mesopotamia with his daughter Dina. All these souls of his sons and daughters make thirty and six.

These are the children of Zilpah whom Laban gave to Lea his daughter. And these she bare unto Jacob in number sixteen souls.

The children of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.

These are the children of Rachel which were born unto Jacob: fourteen souls altogether.

These are the sons of Bilhah which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob, altogether seven souls.

All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt which came out of his loins - beside his son's wives - were all together sixty and six souls.

And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt were: two souls. So that all the souls of the house of Jacob which came into Egypt are seventy.

And Joseph brought in Jacob his father and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh asked Jacob, "How old art thou?"

And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, "The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have the days of my life been, and have not attained unto the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimages."

And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from him.

Moreover, Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, so that the whole age of Jacob was a hundred and forty seven years.

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 Jacob called for his sons and said, "Come together, that I may tell you what shall happen you in the last days.

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.

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.

When Jacob had commanded all that he would unto his sons, he plucked up his feet upon the bed and died, and was put unto his people.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, "I die; And God will surely visit you and bring you out of this land, unto the land which he sware unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

These are the names of the children of Israel, which came to Egypt with Jacob, every man with his household:

All the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy, and Joseph was in Egypt already.

And their complaint came up unto God from the labour. And God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

And he said, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

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.

"That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob hath appeared unto thee."

and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob an Almighty God: but in my name Jehovah was I not known unto them.

And I will bring you unto the land over the which I did lift up my hand to give it unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and will give it unto you for a possession: even I the LORD.'"

And Moses went up unto God. And the LORD called to him out of the mountain saying, "Thus say unto the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel,

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Depart and go hence: both thou and the people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'Unto thy seed I will give it.'

"'And I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham, and will think on the land.

And he began his parable, and said, "Balak the king of Moab hath fetched me from Mesopotamia out of the mountains of the east saying, 'Come and curse me Jacob, come and defy me Israel.'

Who can tell the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? I pray God that my soul may die the death of the righteous, and that my last end may be like his!"

He beheld no wickedness in Jacob, nor saw Idolatry in Israel: The LORD his God is with him, and the tromp of a king among them.

For there is no sorcerer in Jacob, nor soothsayer in Israel. When the time cometh, it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, 'What God hath wrought!'

How goodly are the tents of Jacob, and thine habitations Israel;

I see him but not now, I behold him but not nigh. There shall come a star of Jacob and rise a scepter of Israel, which shall smite the coasts of Moab and undermine all the children of Seth.

And out of Jacob shall come he that shall destroy the remnant of the cities."

'None of the men that came out of Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because they have not continually followed me:

Behold, I have set the land before you: go in therefore and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give unto them and their seed after them.'

And when the LORD thy God hath brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give thee with great and goodly cities which thou buildst not,

It is not for thy righteousness' sake and right heart that thou goest to possess their land: But partly for the wickedness of these nations, the LORD thy God doth cast them out before thee, and partly to perform that which the LORD thy God sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and look not unto the stubbornness of this people nor unto their wickedness and sin:

For to make thee a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

in that thou lovest the LORD thy God, hearkenest unto his voice and cleavest unto him. For he is thy life and the length of thy days, that thou mayest dwell upon the earth which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give them."

Moses gave us a law which is the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

They shall teach Jacob thy judgments and Israel thy laws. They shall put cense before thy nose and whole sacrifices upon thine altar.

And Israel shall dwell in safety alone. And the eyes of Jacob shall look upon a land of corn and wine. Moreover, his heaven shall drop with dew.

And the LORD said unto him, "This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it unto thy seed. I have showed it thee before thine eyes: but thou shalt not go over thither."

And I gave unto Isaac, Jacob and Esau. And I gave unto Esau mount Seir to possess it. But Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.

And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem, for a hundredth pieces of silver, which parcel became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

After that Jacob was come into Egypt, your fathers cried unto the LORD, and the LORD sent Moses and Aaron: which brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

These be the last sayings of David. David the son of Jesse said: and the man which is lifted up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob and pleasant Psalmist of Israel said,

And he took twelve stones according to the number of the twelve tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came saying, "Israel shall be thy name."

But the LORD had mercy on them and pitied them and turned to them because of his covenant made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and would not destroy them, either cast them from him as yet.

Unto this day they do after the old manner: they neither fear the LORD, neither do after their own ordinances and customs, and after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob whose name he called Israel,

The seed of Israel are his servants, the children of Jacob are his chosen!

which he set before Jacob for a decree, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying,

Who shall give salvation unto Israel out of Zion? When the LORD turneth the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

O praise the LORD, ye that fear him! Magnify him, all ye seed of Jacob, and fear him, all ye seed of Israel.

This is the generation of them that seek him, even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah

Thou art my King, O God; send help unto Jacob.

The LORD of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

The LORD of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
