And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand. But he did not find her.

And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be ashamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.

There is none greater in this house than I. Neither has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

And she caught him by his robe, saying, Lie with me. And he left his robe in her hand and fled, and got out.

And it happened when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his robe with me, and fled, and got out.

And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Now tell it to me.

When the chief baker saw the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also saw in my dream, and three baskets of white bread were on my head.

And he slept and dreamed the second time. And behold! Seven ears of grain came up on one stock, fat and good!

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Not I. God shall answer the welfare of Pharaoh.

And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up in one stock, full and good.

And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was none that could open it to me.

And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

The seven good cows are seven years. And the seven good ears are seven years. The dream is one.

This is the thing which God has spoken to Pharaoh; what God is about to do, He shows to Pharaoh.

And since the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find any man like this, in whom the Spirit of God is?

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has shown you all this, no one is as discreet and wise as you.

And Joseph gathered grain like the sand of the sea, very much, until he quit numbering it; for it was without number.

And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh, saying, For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house.

And Joseph said to them the third day, Do this and live. I fear God.

And he said to his brothers, My silver has been put back. And, also look in my sack. And their hearts failed, and they each were afraid, saying to one another, What is this God has done to us?

And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, so that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved, I am bereaved.

And he said, Peace to you, do not fear. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I had your silver. And he brought Simeon out to them.

And they answered, Your servant, our father, is in good health. He is still alive. And they bowed down their heads and fell before him.

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me? And he said, God bless you, my son.

They had gone out of the city, not having gone far. And Joseph said to his steward, Rise up, follow after the men and overtake them, and say to them, Why have you rewarded evil for good?

And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also with whom the cup is found.

And now do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves that you sold me here. For God sent me before you to preserve life.

And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

And now you did not send me here, but God. And He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, So says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me, do not wait.

And the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brothers have come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and of his servants.

and take your father and your households and come to me. And I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.

And do not regard your stuff, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought I would see your face, and, lo, God has showed me also your seed.

And he blessed Joseph and said, May God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who fed me all my life to this day,

And he blessed them that day, saying, In you shall Israel bless, saying, God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh. And he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

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

And he saw that rest was good and that the land was pleasant. And he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a tribute-slave.

Gad, raiders shall attack him, and he shall attack their heel.

But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob (from the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel);

by the God of your father, who shall help you. And may the Almighty bless you with blessings of Heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

So shall you say to Joseph, please lift up the rebellion of your brothers, and their sin. For they did evil to you. And please now lift up the rebellion of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

And Joseph said to them, Do not fear. For am I in the place of God?

But as for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save a great many people alive.

And Joseph said to his brothers, I die. And God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land into the land which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

And Joseph took an oath of the sons of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.

And I am coming down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, to bring them up out of that land, to a good land, a large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt?

And He said, I will be with you. And this shall be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain.

And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the sons of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they shall say to me, What is His name? What shall I say to them?

And they shall listen to your voice. And you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt. And you shall say to him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews has met with us. And now let us go, we beseech you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

so that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.
