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;

And all their goods, all their children and their wives took they captive, and made havoc of all that was in the houses.

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.

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

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, will I give unto thee, and unto thy seed after thee will I give it also."

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 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 Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he begat him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors.

When his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him and could not speak one kind word unto him.

And he said unto him, "Go and see whether it be well with thy brethren and the sheep, and bring me word again." And sent him out of the vale of Hebron, for to go to Shechem.

come now and let us slay him and cast him into some pit, and let us say that some wicked beast hath devoured him, and let us see what his dreams will come to."

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.

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

And as she travailed, the one put out his hand and the midwife took and bound a red thread about it, saying, "This will come out first."

And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.

Wherefore he found grace in his master's sight, and served him. And his master made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand.

And as soon as he had made him ruler over his house and over all that he had, the LORD blessed this Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had: both in the house and also in the fields.

And therefore he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and looked upon nothing that was with him, save only on the bread which he ate. And Joseph was a goodly person and a well favored.

But he denied, and said to her, "Behold, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to my hand.

which committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison house. And whatsoever was done there, that did he.

for I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing at all wherefore they should have put me into this dungeon."

When the chief baker saw that he had well interpreted it, he said unto Joseph, "Me thought also in my dream, that I had three wicker baskets on my head.

And in the uppermost basket, of all manner bakemeats for Pharaoh. And the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head."

And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

And the evil favored and lean fleshed cows ate up the seven well favored and fat cows: and he awoke therewith.

When the morning came, his spirit was troubled. And he sent and called for all the soothsayers of Egypt and all the wise men thereof, and told them his dream: but there was none of them that could interpret it unto Pharaoh.

and there came out of the river seven fat fleshed and well favored cows, and fed in the meadow.

And then seven other cows came up after them, poor and very evil favored and lean fleshed: so that I never saw their like, in all the land of Egypt, in evil favoredness.

"Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenteousness throughout all the land of Egypt.

And there shall arise after them seven years of hunger. So that all the plenteousness shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt. And the hunger shall consume the land:

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,

And the saying pleased Pharaoh and all his servants.

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.

Thou therefore shalt be over my house, and according to thy word shall all my people obey: only in the king's seat will I be above thee."

And he said unto Joseph, "Behold, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt."

and set him upon the best chariot that he had, save one. And they cried before him "Abrech!" And that Pharaoh had made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "I am Pharaoh; without thy will, shall no man lift up either his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."

And he was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And then Joseph departed from Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

and gathered up all the food of the seven plenteous years which were in the land of Egypt and put it into the cities. And he put the food of the fields that grew round about every city, even in the same.

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."

then came the seven years of dearth, according as Joseph had said. And the dearth was in all lands: but in the land of Egypt was there yet food.

When now all the land of Egypt began to hunger, then cried the people to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said unto all Egypt, "Go unto Joseph, and what he saith to you, that do."

And when the dearth was throughout all the land, Joseph opened all that was in the cities, and sold unto the Egyptians. And hunger waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

And all countries came to Egypt, to Joseph, for to buy corn: because that the hunger was so sore in all lands.

And Joseph was governor in the land, and sold corn to all the people of the land. And his brethren came, and fell flat on the ground before him.

We are all one man's sons, and mean truly, and thy servants are no spies."

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

and bring your youngest brother unto me; And thereby shall I know that ye are no spies, but mean truly: So will I deliver you your brother again, and ye shall occupy in the land.'"

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."

Reuben answered his father, saying, "Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee again. Deliver him therefore to my hand, and I will bring him to thee again."

Therefore if thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go and buy the food.

But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go: for the man said unto us, 'Look that ye see not my face, except your brother be with you.'"

Then said Judah unto Israel his father, "Send the lad with me, and we will rise and go, that we may live and not die: both we, thou and also our children.

I will be surety for him, and of my hands require him. If I bring him not to thee and set him before thine eyes, then let me bear the blame forever.

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 we answered my lord, 'We have a father that is old, and a young lad which he begat in his age: and the brother of the said lad is dead, and he is all that is left of that mother. And his father loveth him.'

we said that we could not go. 'Nevertheless, if our youngest brother go with us then will we go, for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.'

then as soon as he seeth that the lad is not come, he will die. So shall we thy servants bring the gray head of thy servant our father with sorrow unto the grave.

For I thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father and said, 'If I bring him not unto thee again. I will bear the blame all my life long.'

And Joseph could no longer refrain before all them that stood about him, but commanded that they should go all out from him, and that there should be no man with him, while he uttered himself unto his brethren.

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 thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen and be by me: both thou and thy children, and thy children's children: and thy sheep, and beasts and all that thou hast.

There will I make provision for thee: for there remain yet five years of dearth, lest thou and thy household and all that thou hast perish.'

Therefore, tell my father of all my honour which I have in Egypt and of all that ye have seen, and make haste and bring in father hither."

Moreover, he kissed all his brethren and wept upon them. And after that, his brethren talked with him.

And when the tidings was come unto Pharaoh's house that Joseph's brethren were come, it pleased Pharaoh well and all his servants.

take your father and your households and come unto me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.'"

Also, regard not your stuff, for the goods of all the land of Egypt shall be yours."

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

And they told him all the words of Joseph which he had said unto them. But when he saw the chariots which Joseph had sent to carry him, then his spirits revived.

And Israel said, "I have enough, if Joseph my son be yet alive: I will go and see him, yer that I die."

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

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.

I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will also bring thee up again, and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes."

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;

his sons and his sons' sons with him, his daughters and his sons daughters and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

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.

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 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 Joseph said unto his brethren and unto his father's house, "I will go and show Pharaoh, and tell him that my brethren and my father's house which were in the land of Canaan are come unto me,

and how they are shepherds," - for they were men of cattle - "and they have brought their sheep and their oxen and all that they have with them.

say, 'Thy servants have been occupied about cattle, from our childhood unto this time: both we and our fathers,' that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen. For an abomination unto the Egyptians are all that feed sheep."

and Joseph went and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brethren, their sheep and their beasts and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan and are in the land of Goshen."

And Joseph made provision for his father, his brethren, and all his father's household, as young children are fed with bread.

There was no bread in all the land, for the dearth was exceeding sore: so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan, were famished by the reason of the dearth.

And Joseph brought together all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and he laid up the money in Pharaoh's house.

When money failed in the land of Egypt and of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph and said, "Give us sustenance: wherefore sufferest thou us to die before thee? For our money is spent."

Then said Joseph, "Bring your cattle, and I will give yow for your cattle, if ye be without money."

And they brought their cattle unto Joseph. And he gave them bread for horses and sheep, and oxen and asses: so he fed them with bread for all their cattle that year.

When that year was ended, they came unto him the next year and said unto him, "We will not hide it from my lord, how that we have neither money nor cattle for my lord: there is no more left for my lord, but even our bodies and our lands.

And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For the Egyptians sold every man his land because the dearth was sore upon them: and so the land became Pharaoh's.

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

but let me lie by my fathers, and carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burial." And he answered, "I will do as thou hast said."

and said unto me, "Behold, I will make thee grow and will multiply thee, and will make a great number of people of thee, and will give this land unto thee, and unto thy seed after thee, unto an everlasting possession.

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;
