Now, no bush of the field, as yet - was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, - because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;

So Yahweh God took the man, - and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keeps it.

So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden, - to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken.

So he expelled the man, - and caused to dwell - in front of the garden of Eden - cherubim and a brandishing sword - flame, to keep the way to the tree of life.

Though thou till the ground, it shall not go on to give its vigour to thee. A wanderer and a fugitive, shalt thou be in the earth.

And Adah bare Jabal, - he, was father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle;

Then said Lamech to his wives, Adah and Zillah! hear ye my voice, Ye wives of Lamech! give ear to my tale, For a man, have I slain in dealing my wounds, Yea, a youth, in smiting my blows:

and he called his name Noah saying, - This, one shall give us rest from our work, And from the grievous toil of our hands, By reason of the ground which Yahweh hath cursed,

And Abimelech, said, Lo! my land is before thee, - wherever it may seem good in thine eyes, dwell.

Now, therefore, swear to me by God, here, that thou wilt not deal falsely by me, nor by mine offspring, nor by my descendants, - according to the lovingkindness wherewith I have dealt with thee, shalt thou deal with me, and with the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

Then he said, O Yahweh, God of my lord Abraham! I pray thee cause it to fall out before me today, that thou deal in lovingkindness with my lord Abraham.

and said Whose daughter art, thou? I pray thee, tell me. Is there in the house of thy father a place for us to tarry the night?

Now, therefore, if ye are dealing in lovingkindness and faithfulness with my lord, tell me, - and, if not, tell me, that I may turn unto the right hand or unto the left.

And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, - until that the wrath of thy brother turn away:

But, your father, hath deceived me, and hath changed my wages ton times, - yet God hath not suffered him to deal harmfully with me.

Wherefore didst thou secretly flee, and rob me, - and didst not tell me, that I might send thee away with rejoicing and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre;

It is in the power of my hand, to deal with thee for harm, - but the God of your father, last night, spake unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not with Jacob, either good or bad.

But that the God of my father - The God of Abraham, and the Dread of Isaac - Proved to he mine, Surely even now, empty, hadst thou let me go? My humiliation and the wearying toil of my hands, God had seen, And therefore gave sentence last night!

And I have oxen and asses, flocks and men-servants, and maid-servants, So I must needs send to tell my lord, that I might find favour in thine eyes.

And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, - Yahweh, who wast saying unto me, - Return to thy land and to thy kindred that I may deal well with thee:

But, thou thyself, saidst, - I wilt deal well with thee. So will I make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not to be counted, for multitude.

Then asked Jacob and said, Do, I pray thee, tell me thy name! And he said - Wherefore now, shouldest thou ask for my name? And he blessed him there,

And with us, stroll ye dwell, - and, the land, shall be before you, tarry, and go through it, and get possessions therein.

then will we give our daughters to you, and your daughters, will we take to us, - and we will dwell with you, and become one people.

Only herein, will the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, - If we circumcise to us every male, even as they are circumcised.

Their herds and their substance, and all their beasts, shall they, not be, ours? Only, we must consent to them, that they may dwell with us.

Then said Jacob unto Simeon and unto Levi - Ye have troubled me by making me odious among them that dwell in the land, among the Canaanites, and among the Perizzites, - I, having only men that may be counted, they will gather themselves, together against me and smite me, - and I shall be destroyed both I and my house.

And they said, - As with a harlot, was he to deal with our sister.

Then said God unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, - and make there an altar, to the GOD who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

For their substance had become too great for them to dwell together, - neither could the land of their sojournings sustain them, because of their herds,

And he said, My brethren, am, I, seeking, - do tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flock.

And Israel said, Wherefore did ye ill to me, - to tell the man, there yet remained to you a brother?

Haste ye and go up unto my father, then shall ye say unto him - Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath appointed me lord to all Egypt, - come down unto me do not delay;

Then shall ye say - Men of cattle, have thy servants been from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers, - To the end ye may dwell in the land of Goshen, for an abomination to Egyptians, is every feeder of a flock,

And they said unto Pharaoh - To sojourn in the land, are we come in, for there is no pasture for the flocks which pertain to thy servants, for, severe, is the famine in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, let thy servants dwell we pray thee in the land of Goshen.

The land of Egypt, is, before thee, in the best of the land, cause thou thy father and thy brethren to dwell, - let them dwell in the land of Goshen, And if thou knowest that there are among them men of ability, then shalt thou set them as chieftains of cattle over mine.

Then called Jacob unto his sons, - and said - Gather yourselves together, and let me tell you, that which shall befall you in the afterpart of the days.

And Moses was well-pleased to dwell with the man, - and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

And Yahweh said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by its tail: So he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff in his hand: -

Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you, - yet the tale of bricks, shall ye render.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Dull, is the heart of Pharaoh, - he hath refused to let the people go.

But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them, - as spake Yahweh.

then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land;

And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also, - and did not let the people go.

And Pharaoh sent, and lo! there had not died of the cattle of Israel, so much as one. But Pharaoh's heart became dull, and he did not let the people go.

And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunderings had ceased, he again sinned, - and made his heart dull, he, and his servants.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, - for, I, have suffered his heart to be dull and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs, in their midst;

And thou shalt toll thy son, on that day, saying, - This is because, of that which Yahweh did for me, when he brought me forth out of Egypt.

And when Moses, had gone up unto God, then called Yahweh unto him out of the mountain saying, Thus, shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, And tell the sons of Israel:

But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, - for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;

Thy fulness and thine outflow, shalt thou not delay, - the firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou give to me.

but the seventh year, shalt thou let it rest and be still so shall the needy of thy people eat, and what they leave, shall the wild-beast of the field eat, - in like manner, shalt thou deal with thy vineyard with thine oliveyard.

they shall not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against me, - for thou mightest serve their gods, verily! it would become to thee a snare!

Then shalt thou take from the ram - the fat and the fat-tail and the fat that covereth the inner part and the caul of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, - for, a ram of installation, it is, -

And he received the gold at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf, and they said - These, are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up, out of the land of Egypt.

Then took he the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it till it became powder, and strewed it on the face of the waters, and made the sons of Israel drink.

Then shall he bring near out of the peace-offering, an altar-flame unto Yahweh, the fat thereof the fat-tail thereof entire close to the backbone, shall he remove it, - and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards;

Any person, moreover, whensoever he shall sin in that, when he heareth a voice of swearing, he himself, being a witness either seeing or knowing, - if he do not tell and so hath to bear his iniquity: -

and, as for all the fat thereof, one shall bring near therefrom, - the fat-tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards;

And he took the fat and the fat-tail, and all the fat that was on the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, - and the right shoulder;

and the portions of fat from the ox, - and from the ram, the fat-tail, and the covering, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver;

then shall the priest take a view and lo! if, in the skin of their flesh, are bright spots that are dull white, dead white spot, it is, that hath broken through in the skin - clean, he is.

And he that is to be declared clean shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and bathe in water, and be clean, and, afterwards, shall he come into the camp, - and dwell outside his tent, seven days;

then shall he that owneth the house come in, and tell the priest, saying, - A kind of plague-mark, appeareth to me in the house;

Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations, and do them, - So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein, not vomit you forth;

In booths, shall ye dwell seven days; - All the home-born in Israel, shall dwell in booths:

To the end that your generations may know, that, in booths, made I the sons of Israel to dwell, when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, - I - Yahweh, am your God.

Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and my regulations, shall ye observe and do them, - so shall ye dwell upon the land with confidence;

and the land shall yield her fruit; and ye shall eat to the full, - and shall dwell with confidence thereupon.

Then shall your threshing reach unto the vintage, And, the vintage, shall reach unto the seedtime, - And ye shall eat your food to the full, And shall dwell securely in your land.

And, I, will make the land dumb, And your foes that dwell therein shall regard it with dumb amazement:

Of Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;

from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter, to toil in the work of labouring and in the work of bearing burdens, in the tent of meeting,

On the sixth day, the prince of the sons of Gad, - Eliasaph, son of Deuel:

and as a peace-offering, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year, - this, was the offering of Eliasaph, son of Deuel.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, son of Deuel.

But if, in this way, thou art going to deal with me, slay me, I beseech thee, slay, if I have found favour in thine eyes, - and let me not see my grief,

And shall see the land, what it is, - And the people that dwell thereupon, Whether they are, strong, or weak, Whether they are, few or many;

And what, the land, is, wherein they dwell, Whether it is, good, or, bad, - And the cities within which they dwell, Whether in camps or in strongholds;

Nevertheless surely mighty, are the people that dwell in the land, - and, the cities, walled in, exceeding great, moreover also, the descendants of the

Anak, saw we there. Amalek, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite, and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain And the Canaanite, dwelleth by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.

So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying, - As touching the land through which we passed to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were men of great stature.

And will tell it unto the inhabitants of this land: They have heard, That, thou, Yahweh, art in the midst of this people, - That eye to eye, is he seen - thou, Yahweh, And thy cloud, is standing over them, And in a pillar of cloud, thou thyself, art going on before them by day, And in a pillar of fire, by night.

Then said Balaam unto Balak: Station thyself by thine ascending-sacrifice, and let me go my way - peradventure Yahweh may come and meet me, and what thing soever he may show me, I will tell thee. So he went his way to a bare height.

Surely from the head of the rocks, do I see him, Yea, from the hills, do I observe him, - Lo! a people, who alone doth dwell, And among the nations, he doth not reckon himself.

Lo, a people, like a lioness, shall rise, And like a strong lion, shall rouse himself up; He will not lie down till be eat the torn, And the blood of the slain, he drink.
