And he said, "Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, of which I bade thee that thou shouldest not eat?"

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast so done, most cursed be thou of all cattle and of all beasts of the field. Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all days of thy life.

And unto Adam he said, "Forasmuch as thou hast obeyed the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying 'See thou eat not thereof' cursed be the earth for thy sake. In sorrow shalt thou eat thereof all days of thy life:

And he said, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cryeth unto me out of the earth.

Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, "Why hast thou thus dealt with me? Wherefore toldest thou me not that she was thy wife?

Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine. And he being the priest of the most highest God, blessed him, saying,

"Blessed be Abram unto the most highest God, possessor of heaven and earth.

And blessed be God the most highest, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hands." And Abram gave him tithes of all.

And Abram said, "See, to me hast thou given no seed: lo, a lad born in my house shall be mine heir!"

And I will fetch a morsel of bread, to comfort your hearts withal. And then go your ways, for even therefore are ye come to your servant." And they answered, "Do even so as thou hast said."

And the men said moreover unto Lot, "If thou have yet here any son-in-law or sons or daughters or whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring it out of this place:

And he said to him, "See, I have received thy request as concerning this thing, that I will not overthrow this city for the which thou hast spoken.

And God came to Abimelech by night in a dream and said to him, "See, thou art but a dead man for the woman's sake which thou hast taken away, for she is a man's wife."

Now, therefore, deliver the man his wife again, for he is a prophet. And let him pray for thee that thou mayest live. But and if thou deliver her not again, be sure that thou shalt die the death, with all that thou hast."

And Abimelech called Abraham and said unto him, "What hast thou done unto us, and what have I offended thee, that thou shouldest bring on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? Thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done."

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, "What mean these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?"

And he said, "Lay not thy hands upon the child, neither do anything at all unto him, for now I know that thou fearest God, in that thou hast not kept thine only son from me."

saying, "By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, because thou hast done this thing and hast not spared thy only son,

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice."

Now the damsel to whom I say, 'stoop down thy pitcher, and let me drink.' If she say, 'Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also,' the same is she that thou hast ordained for thy servant Isaac: yea, and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed mercy on my master.

Then said Abimelech, "Why hast thou done this unto us? One of the people might lightly have lain by thy wife and so shouldest thou have brought sin upon us."

But Isaac said unto his son, "How cometh it that thou hast found it so quickly my son?" He answered, "The LORD thy God brought it to my hand."

Then said he, "He may well be called Jacob, for he hath undermined me now two times - first he took away my birthright; and see, now hath he taken away my blessing also." And he said, "Hast thou kept never a blessing for me?"

And Esau said unto his father, "Hast thou but that one blessing my father? Bless me also, my father!" So lifted up Esau his voice and wept.

and until thy brother's wrath turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him. Then will I send and fetch thee away from thence. Why should I lose you both in one day?"

And when the morning was come, behold, it was Lea. Then said he to Laban, "Wherefore hast thou played thus with me? Did not I serve thee for Rachel? Wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?"

And Lea answered, "Is it not enough, that thou hast taken away my husband, but wouldest take away my son's mandragoras also?" Then said Rachel, "Well, let him sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandragoras."

Then said Laban, "Lo, I am content that it be according as thou hast said."

Then said Laban to Jacob, "Why hast thou this done, unknowing to me, and hast carried away my daughters as though they had been taken captive with sword?

and hast not suffered me to kiss my children and my daughters? Thou wast a fool to do it,

And now, though thou wentest thy way because thou longest after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?"

Thou hast searched all my stuff, and what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Put it here before thy brethren and mine, and let them judge betwixt us both.

Thus have I been twenty years in thy house, and served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy sheep, and thou hast changed my reward ten times.

And when Jacob saw them, he said, "This is God's host," and called the name of that same place Mahanaim.

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 said, "Thou shalt be called Jacob no more, but Israel. For thou hast wrestled with God and with men and hast prevailed."

And he lift up his eyes and saw the wives and their children, and said, "What are these which thou there hast?" And he said, "They are the children which God hath given thy servant."

And Esau said, "I have enough my brother, keep that thou hast unto thyself."

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?"

But he plucked his hand back again, and his brother came out. And she said, "Wherefore hast thou rent a rent upon thee?" And called him Perez.

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.

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.'

And they answered, "Thou hast saved our lives. Let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and let us be Pharaoh's servants."

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."

The blessings of thy father were strong: even as the blessings of my elders, after the desire of the highest in the world. And these blessings shall fall on the head of Joseph, and on the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

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."

And Moses said unto the LORD, "O my Lord. I am not eloquent, no not in times past and namely since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow mouthed and slow tongued."

Moses returned unto the LORD and said, "LORD wherefore dealest thou cruelly with this people: and wherefore hast thou sent me?

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath fared foul with this folk, and yet thou hast not delivered thy people at all."

And the river shall scrale with frogs, and they shall come up and go into thine house and into thy chamber where thou sleepest and upon thy bed, and into the houses of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and upon thy victuals which thou hast in store.

And he said, "Tomorrow." And he said, "Even as thou hast said, that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.

behold, the hand of the LORD shall be upon thy cattle which thou hast in the field, upon horses, asses, camels, oxen, and sheep, with a mighty great pestilence.

Send therefore and fetch home thy beasts and all that thou hast in the field. For upon all the men and beasts which are found in the field and not brought home, shall the hail fall, and they shall die.'"

And Moses said, "Let it be as thou hast said: I will see thy face no more."

then thou shalt appoint unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and all the firstborn among the beasts which thou hast if they be males.

And I will harden his heart, that he shall follow after them, that I may get me honour upon Pharaoh and upon all his host, that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD." And they did even so.

And the Egyptians followed after them and overtook them where they pitched by the sea, with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and with his horsemen and his host: even fast by the entering of Hiroth before Baalzephon.

Then said they unto Moses, "Were there no graves for us in Egypt, but thou must bring us away for to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou served us thus, for to carry us out of Egypt?

And behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians that they may follow you. And I will get me honour upon Pharaoh and upon all his host, upon his chariots and upon his horsemen.

And the angel of God which went before the host of Israel, removed and went behind them. And the clouden pillar that was before them removed and stood behind them

and went between the host of the Egyptians and the host of Israel. It was a dark cloud, and gave light by night: so that all the night long the one could not come at the other.

And in the morning watch, the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians out of the fiery and cloudy pillar, and troubled their host;

and the water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen: so that of all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, there remained not one.

Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea. His jolly captains are drowned in the reed sea;

And with thy great glory thou hast destroyed thine adversaries! Thou sentest forth thy wrath and it consumed them, even as stubble.

Let fear and dread fall upon them through the greatness of thine arm, and let them be as still as a stone, while thy people pass through, O LORD; while the people pass through, which thou hast gotten.

Bring them in and plant them in the mountains of thine inheritance, the place, LORD, which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuary, LORD, which thy hands have prepared.

And at evening the quails came and covered the ground where they lay. And in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

There the people thirsted for water, and murmured against Moses and said, "Wherefore hast thou brought us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?"

And the third day in the morning there was thunder, and lightning and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the horn waxed exceeding loud, and all the people that was in the host was afraid.

Six days mayest thou labour and do all that thou hast to do:

And the feast of Harvest, when thou reapest the first fruits of thy labors which thou hast sown in the field. And the feast of ingathering, in the end of the year: when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.

But the flesh of the ox and his skin and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire, without the host. For it is a sin offering.

Then Moses besought the LORD his God and said, "O LORD, why should thy wrath wax hot upon thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, "There is a noise of war in the host."

And as soon as he came nigh unto the host and saw the calf and the dancing, his wrath waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hand, and brake them even at the hill foot.

And then Moses said unto Aaron, "What did this people unto thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?"

he went and stood in the gate of the host and said, "If any man pertain unto the LORD, let him come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together and came unto him.

And he said unto them, "Thus sayeth the LORD of Israel, 'Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the host: and slay every man his brother, every man his friend and every man his neighbor."

Yet forgive them their sin, I pray thee: If not, wipe me out of thy book which thou hast written."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Depart and go hence: both thou and the people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'Unto thy seed I will give it.'

And Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it without the host, afar off from the host, and called it the tabernacle of witness. And all that would ask any question of the LORD, went out unto the tabernacle of witness which was without the host.

And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And when Moses turned again in to the host, the lad Joshua, his servant, the son of Nun, departed not out of the tabernacle.

And Moses said unto the LORD, "See, thou saidest unto me, 'Lead this people forth,' but thou showest me not whom thou wilt send with me. And hast said moreover, 'I know thee by name and thou hast also found grace in my sight.'

And the LORD said unto Moses, "I will do this also that thou hast said, for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name."

And then Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the host, saying, "See that neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the holy heave offering." And so the people were forbidden to bring:

shall he carry altogether out of the host unto a clean place: even where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on wood with fire: even upon the heap of ashes.

And he shall bring the ox without the host, and burn him as he burned the first, so is this the sin offering of the commonalty.

and then put off his raiment and put on other and carry the ashes out without the host unto a clean place.

But the ox, the hide, his flesh and his dung, he burnt with fire without the host, as the LORD commanded Moses.

but the flesh and the hide, he burnt with fire without the host.

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, "Go to, and carry your brethren from the holy place out of the host."

And they went to them and carried them in their albs out of the host, as Moses bade.

And as long as the disease lasteth upon him, he shall be unclean: for he is unclean, and shall therefore dwell alone, and even without the host shall his habitation be.

Moreover, the cloth, either warp or woof or whatsoever thing of skin it be which thou hast washed and the plague be departed from it, shall be washed once again: and then it is clean.

and the priest shall go out without the host and look upon him. If the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper,

"And he that is cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, and then he is clean. And after that he shall come into the host, but shall tarry without his tent seven days.

And let him that carried forth the scapegoat wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and then come into the host again.

"And the ox of the sin offering and the goat of the sin offering - whose blood was brought in to make an atonement in the holy place - let one carry out without the host and burn with fire: both their skins, their flesh and their dung.
