And he knew it, saying, "It is my son's coat: a wicked beast hath devoured him, and Joseph is rent in pieces."

And it fortuned at that time that Judah went from his brethren and gat him to a man called Hirah of Adullam,

Then said he, "I will send thee a kid from the flock." She answered, "Then give me a pledge till thou send it."

And she gat her up and went and put her mantle from her, and put on her widow's raiment again.

And Judah sent the kid by his neighbour of Adullam, for to fetch out his pledge again from the woman. But he found her not.

And Judah said, "Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: for I sent the kid and thou couldest not find her."

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 she caught him by the garment, saying, "Come, sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and fled and got him out.

And when he heard that I lift up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me and fled away and got him out."

but the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and got him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison;

They answered him, "We have dreamed a dream, and have no man to declare it." And Joseph said unto them, "Interpreting belongeth to God, but tell me yet."

But think on me with thee, when thou art in good case, and show mercy unto me. And make mention of me to Pharaoh, and help to bring me out of this house:

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace without me."

And I saw again in my dream seven ears spring out of one stalk, full and good,

And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I have told it unto the soothsayers, but no man can tell me what it meaneth."

Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, "Both Pharaoh's dreams are one. And God doth show Pharaoh what he is about to do.

The seven good cows are seven years: and the seven good ears are seven years also, and is but one dream.

This is that which I said unto Pharaoh, that God doth show Pharaoh what he is about to do.

And as concerning that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh the second time, it betokeneth that the thing is certainly prepared of God, and that God will shortly bring it to pass.

and let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up corn under the power of Pharaoh: that there may be food in the cities,

Then said Pharaoh unto his servants, "Where shall we find such a man as this is, that hath the spirit of God in him?"

Wherefore Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is no man of understanding nor of wisdom like unto thee.

And he called the name of the first son Manasseh, "For God," said he, "hath made me forget all my labour and all my father's household."

The second called he Ephraim, "For God," said he, "hath caused me to grow in the land of my trouble."

Behold, I have heard that there is corn to be sold in Egypt. Get you thither and buy us corn from thence, that we may live and not die."

And Joseph said unto the third day, "This do and live, for I fear God.

And he said unto his brethren, "My money is restored me again, and is even in my sack's mouth." Then their hearts failed them, and were astonished and said one to another, "How cometh it that God dealeth thus with us?"

And the lord of the country said unto us, 'Hereby shall I know if ye mean truly: leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food necessary for your households and get you away,

And God almighty give you mercy in the sight of the man and send you your other brother and also Benjamin, and I will be as a man robbed of his children."

And he said, "Be of good cheer, fear not: Your God and the God of your fathers hath put you that treasure in your sacks, for I had your money." And he brought Simeon out to them,

And he welcomed them courteously saying, "Is your father, that old man which ye told me of, in good health? And is he yet alive?"

They answered, "Thy servant our father is in good health, and is yet alive. And they bowed themselves and fell to the ground."

And he lift up his eyes and beheld his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother of whom ye said unto me?" And said, "God be merciful unto thee my son."

And when they were out of the city and not yet far away, Joseph said unto the ruler of his house, "Up, and follow after the men and overtake them, and say unto them, 'Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?

And they answered him, "Wherefore saith my lord such words? God forbid that thy servants should do so.

Then said Judah, "What shall we say unto my lord? What shall we speak, or what excuse can we make? God hath found out the wickedness of thy servants. Behold, both we and he with whom the cup is found, are thy servants."

And he answered, "God forbid that I should do so, the man with whom the cup is found, he shall be my servant: but go ye in peace unto your father."

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.

So now it was not ye that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me father unto Pharaoh and lord over all his house, and ruler in all the land of Egypt.

Haste you and go to my father and tell him, 'This sayeth thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord over all Egypt. Come down unto me and tarry not.

And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, "Say unto thy brethren, 'This do ye: lade your beasts and get you hence. And when ye be come unto the land of Canaan,

Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came unto Beersheba and offered offerings unto the God of his father Isaac.

And God said unto Israel in a vision by night, and called unto him, "Jacob, Jacob." And he answered, "Here am I."

And he said, "I am that mighty God of thy father, fear not to go down into Egypt. For I will make of thee there a great people.

The children of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.

And Joseph made ready his chariot and went to meet Israel his father unto Goshen, and presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck and wept upon his neck a good while.

and said unto Joseph, "God almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

And Joseph said unto his father, "They are my sons, which God hath given me here." And he said, "Bring them to me, and let me bless them."

And Israel said unto Joseph, "I had not thought to have seen thy face, and yet lo, God hath showed it me and also thy seed."

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;

And he blessed them, saying, "At the example of these, the Israelites shall bless and say, 'God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh.'" Thus set he Ephraim before Manasseh.

And Israel said unto Joseph, "Behold, I die. And God shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

Moreover, I give unto thee a portion of land above thy brethren which I gat out of the hands of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow."

and saw that rest was good and the land that it was pleasant, and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.

Gad, men of war shall invade him. And he shall turn them to flight.

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.

Thy father's God shall help thee, and the almighty shall bless thee with blessings from heaven above, and with blessings of the water that lieth under, and with blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

'This wise say unto Joseph: forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy brethren and their sin, for they rewarded thee evil.' Now therefore we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of thy father's God." And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

And Joseph said unto them, "Fear not, for am not I under God?

Ye thought evil unto me: but God turned it unto good to bring to pass, as it is this day, even to save much people alive.

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."

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel and said, "God will not fail but visit you: see therefore that ye carry my bones hence."

Notwithstanding, the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them: but saved the men children.

And God therefore dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty,

and he called him Gershom: for he said, "I have been a stranger in a strange land." And she bare yet another son, whom he called Eliezer saying, "The God of my father is mine helper, and hath rid me out of the hands of Pharaoh."

And God looked upon the children of Israel and knew them.

Moses kept the sheep of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he drove the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb.

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 am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land unto a good land and a large, and unto a land that floweth with milk and honey: even unto the place of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and of the Jebusites.

And Moses said unto God, "What am I, to go to Pharaoh and to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?"

And he said, "I will be with thee. And this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: after that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain."

Then said Moses unto God, "When I come unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you,' and they say unto me, 'What is his name?' - What answer shall I give them?"

Then said God unto Moses, "I Will Be What I Will Be." And he said, "This shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I Will Be did send me to you.'"

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.

If it come to pass that they hear thy voice, then go, both thou and the elders of Israel unto the king of Egypt, and say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: Let us go therefore three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.'

And I will get this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: so that when ye go, ye shall not go empty:

And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: he shall be thy mouth, and thou shalt be his God:

And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass, and went again to Egypt, and took the rod of God in his hand.

Then said the LORD unto Aaron, "Go meet Moses in the wilderness." And he went and met him in the mount of God and kissed him.

Then Moses and Aaron went and told Pharaoh, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel: 'Let my people go, that they may keep holy day unto me in the wilderness.'"

I know not the LORD, neither will let Israel go." And they said, "The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he smite us either with pestilence or with sword."

Then said the king of Egypt unto them, "Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their work? Get you unto your labour."

And the number of bricks which they were wont to make in time past, lay unto their charge also, and minish nothing thereof. For they be idle and therefore cry, saying, 'Let us go and do sacrifice unto our God.'

And God spake unto Moses, saying unto him, "I am the LORD,

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 take you for my people and will be to you a God. And ye shall know that I am the LORD your God which brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, "Go and do sacrifice unto your God in the land."

And Moses answered, "It is not mete so to do. For we must offer unto the LORD our God, that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians: behold shall we sacrifice that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians before their eyes, and shall they not stone us?
