but, when the flocks were late in bearing, he did not set them, - and so the late-born were Laban's, out the strong ones Jacob's.

And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mothers brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mothers brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled away the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother,

Now, Rebekah, had a brother, whose name, was Laban, - so Laban ran unto the man outside, unto the fountain.

And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sisters son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fondly kissed him, and brought him into his house, - when he recounted to Laban all these things.

The rams also, did Jacob separate, and then set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-straked and all the dark-coloured, among the flocks of Laban, - and he put his own droves by themselves, and put them not with the flocks of Laban.

So then Laban came up with Jacob, - Jacob, having pitched his tent in the mountain, Laban, also, with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.

And it was vexing to Jacob and he contended with Laban, - and Jacob responded and said to Laban, What was my trespass, what my sin, that thou shouldst have come burning after me?

And Laban rose up early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban went his way and returned to his place.

Then answered Laban and Bethuel and said, from Yahweh, hath come forth the word, - we cannot speak unto thee ill or well.

and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, - sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to wife.

Now, therefore, my son, hearken to my voice, - and rise flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;

Rise, go thy way to Padan-aram to the house of Bethuel, thy mothers father, - and take thee from thence a wife, of the daughters of Laban, thy mothers brother.

So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he took his journey to Padan-aram, - unto Laban son of Bethuel, the Syrian, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.

And he said to them, Know ye Laban, son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

And Laban said to him, Surely, my bone and my flesh, art thou. So he abode with him a month of days.

Then said Laban to Jacob, Is it because my brother, thou art, that thou shouldst serve me for naught? Come tell me! What shall be thy wages?

Now, Laban, had two daughters, - the name of the elder, Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel,

And Laban said, Better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man, - Abide with me!

Then said Jacob unto Laban: Come give me my wife, for fulfilled are my days, - that I may go in unto her.

So Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a banquet,

And Laban gave her Zilpah, his handmaid, unto Leah his daughter. as handmaid.

And it came to pass in the morning, that lo! it was Leah, - and he said unto Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Was it not, for Rachel, I served with thee? Wherefore then hast thou deceived me?

And Laban said, It must not be done so in our place, - to give the later-born before the firstborn.

And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid, - to be hers as a handmaid.

And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Let me go that I may take my journey, unto my place, and to my land.

And Laban said unto him, If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, -- I have divined that Yahweh hath blessed me for thy sake.

Then said Laban, Lo! would it might he according to thy word!

then put he a journey of three days between himself and Jacob, - but, Jacob himself, continued tending the flocks of Laban that were left.

Then heard he the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that belonged to our father; Yea out of what belonged to our father, hath he made all this wealth.

And Jacob looked upon the face of Laban, - and lo! it was not with him as afore-time.

Then he said Lift, I pray thee, thine eyes and behold All, the he-goats that are leaping upon the flock are ring-straked, speckled, and dappled, - for I have seen all that Laban, has been doing to thee.

Now, Laban, had gone, to shear his sheep, - so Rachel stole the household gods that belonged to her father,

Thus Jacob stole away unawares to Laban, the Syrian, - in that he had not told him that he was about to flee.

And it was told Laban, on the third day, - that Jacob had fled.

And God went in unto Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, - and said to him Take heed to thyself that thou speak not with Jacob either good or bad.

Then said Laban to Jacob, What hadst thou done, that thou shouldst steal away unawares to me, - and shouldst carry off my daughters, as captives of the sword?

And Jacob answered and said unto Laban, - Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take by force thy daughters from me!

Then entered Laban into the tent of Jacob and into the tent of Leah and into the tent of the two handmaids, and found nothing, - then went he forth out of the tent of Leah, and entered into the tent of Rachel.

Now Rachel, had taken the household gods and put them in the basket-saddle of the camel, and taken her seat upon them. And Laban felt about throughout all the tent, and found them not.

Then responded Laban and said unto Jacob - the daughters, are my daughters, And the sons, are my sons, And the sheep are my sheep, And, all that, thou, beholdest, To me doth it belong! But to my daughters, what can I do to these this day, Or to their sons whom they have borne?

And Laban called it, Jegar-sahadutha, - but, Jacob, called it, Galeed.

Then said Laban: This heap, be witness betwixt me, and thee, to-day. For this cause, is the name thereof called Galeed;

And Laban said to Jacob - Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have set betwixt me, and thee:

And he commanded them, saying, Thus, shall ye say to my lord to Esau, Thus, saith thy servant Jacob, With Laban, have I sojourned, and tarried until now:

These, are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, - so she bare these to Jacob, - sixteen souls.

These, are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, - so she bare these to Jacob, - all the souls, were seven.

These, are the words, which Moses spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, - in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:

For we are, God's, fellow-workmen: ye are, God's, farm, God's building.

Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's wife, - neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's house, his field, or his servant, or his handmaid, his ox or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbour's.

Then said Boaz to the elders, and all the people - Witnesses, are ye to-day, that I have taken over all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's, and Mahlon's, - from the hand of Naomi:

But, himself, emptied, taking, a servant's form, coming to be, in men's likeness;

But Paul's sister's son hearing of the lying-in-wait, happening to be near, and coming into the castle, - reported it unto Paul.

Hence then, her husband being alive, an adulteress, shall she be called - if she become another man's, but, if the husband have died, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man's.

But, ye, have not your being in flesh, but in spirit, - if at least, God's Spirit, dwelleth in you; and, if anyone hath not Christ's Spirit, the same, is not his; -

For, as many as by God's Spirit are being led, the same, are God's sons, -

For, God's minister, is he unto thee for that which is good. But, if, that which is evil, thou be doing, be afraid! For, not in vain, the sword he beareth; for, God's minister, he is, - an avenger, unto anger, to him who practiseth what is evil.

For both, if we live, unto the Lord, we live, and, if we die, unto the Lord, we die; whether therefore we live, the Lord's, we are; or whether we die, the Lord's, we are;

But, unto the called themselves - both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God's power, and, God's wisdom.

Because, God's foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God's weak thing, mightier than men.

In order that, your faith, might not be in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

Each one's work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, - and, each one's work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: -

And, ye, are Christ's, - and, Christ, is, God's.

But, conscience, I mean, not thine own, but the other's, - for why is my freedom to be judged by another's conscience?

The things that lie on the surface, ye are looking at: - if anyone hath come to trust in himself that he is, Christ's, this, let him reckon, again, with himself - that, even as, he, is Christ's, so, also are, we.

For, although he was crucified through weakness, yet is he living through God's power, - for, although, we, are weak in him, yet shall we live with him, through God's power unto us-
