But Jacob went forth on his journey. And the angels of God came and met him.

When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s camp.” So he called that place Mahanaim.

And the messengers will turn back to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau, and also he came to thy meeting, and four hundred men with him.

He thought, “If Esau comes to one camp and attacks it, the remaining one can escape.”

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 will pass the night them in that night, and he will take from what came into his hand, a gift to Esau his brother.

So the gift was sent on ahead of him while he remained in the camp that night.

And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.

therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob's thigh, against the sinew which shrank.

And Jacob will lift up his eyes and will see, and behold Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he will divide the children to Leah and to Rachel and to the two maids.

And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.

Then Esau came running up to him, and folding him in his arms, gave him a kiss: and the two of them were overcome with weeping.

Then came near the handmaids, they - and their children, - and bowed themselves.

Then came near Leah also with her children, - and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,

And he will say, What to thee all this camp which I met? and he will say, To find grace in thine eyes, my lord.

After Jacob came from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at Shechem in the land of Canaan and camped in front of the city.

And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.

Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.

And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they having heard: and the men will be grieved, and it will be kindled to them exceedingly because he did folly in Israel, to lie with Jacob's daughter; and thus it shall not be done.

And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.

Hamor also, and Shechem his son, slew they with the edge of the sword, - and took Dinah out of the house of Shechem, and came forth,

Jacob’s other sons came to the slaughter and plundered the city because their sister had been defiled.

And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.

When they set out, a terror from God came over the cities around them, and they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.

So Jacob and all who were with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.

And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came in from Padan-aram, - and blessed him.

Then brake they up from Beth-el, and it came to pass when there was yet a stretch of country, to enter into Ephrath, that Rachel was in childbirth, and had hard-labour in her child-birth.

And it came to pass when it went hard with her in her childbearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.

Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

And the days of Isaac came to be - n hundred and eighty years.

Then came the sons of Eliphaz to be, - Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.

These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, came tending the flock with his brothers. And he was a youth with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought to his father an evil report of them.

Behold, we were binding sheaves in the fields, and lo, my sheaf rose up, and remained standing; and behold, your sheaves came round about and bowed down to my sheaf.

And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see after the welfare of thy brethren, and after the welfare of the flock; and bring me word again. And he sent him out of the vale of Hebron; and he came towards Shechem.

And the man said, They have gone away from here, for they said in my hearing, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph went after them and came up with them at Dothan.

And when they saw him from afar, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to put him to death.

When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped off his robe, the robe of many colors that he had on.

And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites came from Gilead; and their camels bore tragacanth, and balsam, and ladanum going to carry it down to Egypt.

And men, Midianites traders, came by. And they drew up Joseph and took him out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.

And when Reuben came again unto the pit and found not Joseph there, he rent his clothes,

And they took the coat to their father, and said, We came across this; is it your son's coat or not?

Then came all his sons and all his daughters to comfort him. And he would not be comforted, but said, "I will go down into the grave unto my son, mourning." And thus his father wept for him.

And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.

But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.

And after a time, Bath-shua, Judah's wife, came to her end; and after Judah was comforted for her loss, he went to Timnah, where they were cutting the wool of his sheep, and his friend Hirah of Adullam went with him.

And he said - What is the pledge that I shall give thee? And She said - Thy signet-ring, and thy guard, and thy staff that is in thy hand. So he gave them to her and came in unto her and she conceived by him.

And he came to Judah again, saying, "I cannot find her, and also the men of the place said that there was no whore there."

And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.

When the time came for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb.

As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand, and the midwife took it and tied a scarlet thread around it, announcing, “This one came out first.”

But then he pulled his hand back, and his brother came out. Then she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.

Then his brother, who had the scarlet thread tied to his hand, came out, and was named Zerah.

And it came to pass that Yahweh, was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man, - and was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!

And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her and to be with her,

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,

she called the household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “my husband brought a Hebrew man to make fools of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, and I screamed as loud as I could.

and it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.

She put Joseph’s garment beside her until his master came home.

Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought to us came to make a fool of me,

and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.

when seven healthy-looking, well-fed cows came up from the Nile and began to graze among the reeds.

After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside those cows along the bank of the Nile.

And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.

He fell asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.

And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.

When morning came, he was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.

And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved himself, and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.

when seven well-fed, healthy-looking cows came up from the Nile and began to graze among the reeds.

After them, seven other cows—ugly, very sickly, and thin—came up. I’ve never seen such ugly ones as these in all the land of Egypt.

And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;

And they shall come into their belly, and they shall not know that they came into their belly; and evil of form as that in the beginning. And I shall awake.

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

The seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven worthless, scorched heads of grain are seven years of famine.

And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.
