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 they departed from Bethel, and when he was but a field breadth from Ephrata, Rachel began to travail. And in travailing she was in peril.

And as she was in pains of her labour, the midwife said unto her, "Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also."

And thus died Rachel, and was buried in the way to Ephrata which now is called Bethlehem.

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 Zilpah, Lea's maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons which were born him in Mesopotamia.

Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon an Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, which Anah was the son of Zibeon an Hivite;

And Aholibamah bare Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau which were born him in the land of Canaan.

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.

Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir, which Esau is called Edom.

These are the generations of Esau, father of the Edomites, in mount Seir,

And these were the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife the daughter of Anah son of Zibeon, which she bare unto Esau: Jeush, Jalam and Korah.

duke Korah, duke Gatam and duke Amaleck: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom, and these were the sons of Adah.

These were the children of Reuel Esau's son: duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah. These are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom, and these were the sons of Basemath Esau's wife.

These were the children of Aholibamah Esau's wife: duke Jeusg, duke Jalam, duke Korah. These dukes came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah Esau's wife.

These are the children of Seir the Horite, the inhabiter of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

These were the children of Zibeon: Aia and Anah; this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed his father Zibeon's asses.

These are the dukes that came of Hori: duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,

duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan. These be the dukes that came of Hori in their dukedoms in the land of Seir.

These are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king among the children of Israel.

Bela the son of Beor reigned in Idumaea, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

And when Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah out of Bozrah, reigned in his stead.

When Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.

And after the death of Husham, Hadad the son of Bedad, which slew the Midianites in the field of the Moabites, reigned in his stead, and the name of his city was Avith.

When Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.

When Samlah was dead, Saul of the river Rehoboth reigned in his stead.

When Saul was dead, Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.

And after the death of Baalhanan the son of Achbor, Hadad reigned in his stead, and the name of his city was Pau. And his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred the daughter of Mezahab.

These are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, in their kindreds, places and names: Duke Timna, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,

duke Magdiel, duke Iram. These be the dukes of Idumaea in their habitations, in the land of their possessions. This Esau is the father of the Edomites.

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 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.

Behold, we were making sheaves in the field: and lo, my sheaf arose and stood upright, and yours stood round about and made obeisance to my sheaf."

And he dreamed yet another dream and told it his brethren, saying, "Behold, I have had one dream more: me thought the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me."

And when he had told it unto his father and his brethren, his father rebuked him, and said unto him, "What meaneth this dream which thou hast dreamed: shall I and thy mother and thy brethren come and fall on the ground before thee?"

His brethren went to keep their father's sheep in Shechem,

and Israel said unto Joseph, "Do not thy brethren keep in Shechem? Come, that I may send thee to them." And he answered, "Here am I."

And a certain man found him wandering out of his way in the field, and asked him what he sought.

And the man said, "They are departed hence, for I heard them say, 'Let us go unto Dothan.'" Thus went Joseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

And when they saw him afar off before he came at them, they took counsel against him, for to slay him,

and said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer cometh;

When Reuben heard that, he went about to rid him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him."

And Reuben said moreover unto them, "Shed not his blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hands upon him." For he would have rid him out of their hands and delivered him to his father again.

Come on, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hands be defiled upon him: for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brethren were content.

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

And they took Joseph's coat and killed a goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.

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

And the Midianites sold him in Egypt unto Potiphar, a lord of Pharaoh's: and his chief marshal.

and there he saw the daughter of a man called Shua, a Canaanite. And he took her and went in unto her.

And she conceived the third time and bare a son, whom she called Shelah: and he was at Chezib when she bare him.

But this Er, Judah's eldest son, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; wherefore the LORD slew him.

Then said Judah unto Onan, go in to thy brother's wife and marry her, and stir up seed unto thy brother.

And when Onan perceived that the seed should not be his: therefore when he went into his brother's wife, he spilled it on the ground, because he would not give seed unto his brother.

Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown." For he feared lest he should have died also, as his brethren did. Thus went Tamar and dwelt in her father's house.

And in process of time, the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died. Then Judah, when he had left mourning, went unto his sheep shearers to Timnath with his friend Hirah of Adullam.

And one told Tamar, saying, "Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath, to shear his sheep."

When Judah saw her, he thought it had been an whore, because she had covered her face.

And turned to her unto the way and said, "Come, I pray thee, let me lie with thee." For he knew not that it was his daughter-in-law. And she said, "What wilt thou give me, for to lie with me?"

Then said he, "What pledge shall I give thee?" And she said, "Thy signet, thy necklace, and thy staff that is in thy hand." And he gave it her and lay by her, and she was with child by him.

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

Then asked he the men of the same place saying, "Where is the whore that sat at Enaim in the way?" And they said, "There was no whore here."

And it came to pass that after three months, one told Judah, saying, "Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the whore, and with playing the whore is become great with child." And Judah said, "Bring her forth and let her be burnt."

And when they brought her forth, she sent to her father-in-law saying, "By the man unto whom these things pertain, am I with child." And said also, "Look whose are this seal, necklace, and staff."

When time was come that she should be delivered, behold there was two twins in her womb.

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."

Joseph was brought unto Egypt, and Potiphar - a lord of Pharaoh's, and his chief marshal, an Egyptian - bought him of the Ishmaelites which brought him thither.

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a lucky fellow and continued in the house of his master the Egyptian.

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.

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 after this manner spake she to Joseph day by day; but he hearkened not unto her, to sleep near her or to be in her company.

And it fortuned about the same season, that Joseph entered into the house, to do his business: and there was none of the household by, in the house.

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.

When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,

she called unto the men of the house, and told them, saying, "See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to do us shame: for he came in to me, for to have slept with me. But I cried with a loud voice.

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."

And she told him according to these words, saying, "This Hebrews' servant which thou hast brought unto us came in to me to do me shame.

When his master heard the words of his wife which she told him, saying, "after this manner did thy servant to me," he waxed wroth.

And he took Joseph and put him in prison: even in the place where the king's prisoners lay bound. And there continued he in prison,

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

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

And Pharaoh was angry with them and put them in ward in his chief marshal's house:

even in the prison where Joseph was bound.

And the chief marshal gave Joseph a charge with them, and he served them. And they continued a season in ward.

And they dreamed, either of them, in one night: both the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt which were bound in the prison house, either of them his dream, and each man's dream of a sundry interpretation.

When Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them: behold, they were sad.

And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph and said unto him, "In my dream me thought there stood a vine before me,

and in the vine were three branches, and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth: and the grapes thereof waxed ripe.

And I had Pharaoh's cup in my hand, and took of the grapes and wrung them into Pharaoh's cup, and delivered Pharaoh's cup into his hand."

The three branches are three days: for within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thine office again, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the old manner, even as thou didst when thou wast his butler.

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:

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."
