Genesis:3:4-5
nasb@Genesis:3:4 @The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die!
nasb@Genesis:3:5" @For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
nasb@Genesis:3:6 @When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
nasb@Genesis:3:7 @Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.
nasb@Genesis:3:8 @They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
nasb@Genesis:3:9 @Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, " Where are you?"
nasb@Genesis:3:10 @He said, " I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself."
nasb@Genesis:3:11 @And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"
nasb@Genesis:3:12 @The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate."
nasb@Genesis:3:13 @Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" And the woman said, " The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
nasb@Genesis:3:14 @The LORD God said to the serpent, " Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life;
nasb@Genesis:3:15 @And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."
nasb@Genesis:3:16 @To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you."
nasb@Genesis:3:17 @Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.
nasb@Genesis:3:18" @Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field;
nasb@Genesis:3:19 @By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."
nasb@Genesis:3:20 @Now the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.
nasb@Genesis:3:21 @The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
nasb@Genesis:3:22 @Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"--
nasb@Genesis:3:23 @therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.
nasb@Genesis:3:24 @So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.
nasb@Genesis:30:1 @Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
nasb@Genesis:30:2 @When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
nasb@Genesis:30:3 @He was deeply attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke tenderly to her.
nasb@Genesis:30:4 @So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young girl for a wife."
nasb@Genesis:30:5 @Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob kept silent until they came in.
nasb@Genesis:30:6 @Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
nasb@Genesis:30:7 @Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
nasb@Genesis:30:8 @But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; please give her to him in marriage.
nasb@Genesis:30:9" @Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us and take our daughters for yourselves.
nasb@Genesis:30:10" @Thus you shall live with us, and the land shall be open before you; live and trade in it and acquire property in it."
nasb@Genesis:30:11 @Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, "If I find favor in your sight, then I will give whatever you say to me.
nasb@Genesis:30:12" @Ask me ever so much bridal payment and gift, and I will give according as you say to me; but give me the girl in marriage."
nasb@Genesis:30:13 @But Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor with deceit, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
nasb@Genesis:30:14 @They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.
nasb@Genesis:30:15" @Only on this condition will we consent to you- if you will become like us, in that every male of you be circumcised,
nasb@Genesis:30:16 @then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live with you and become one people.
nasb@Genesis:30:17" @But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go."
nasb@Genesis:30:18 @Now their words seemed reasonable to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
nasb@Genesis:30:19 @The young man did not delay to do the thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.
nasb@Genesis:30:20 @So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
nasb@Genesis:30:21" @These men are friendly with us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them.
nasb@Genesis:30:22" @Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people- that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.
nasb@Genesis:30:23" @Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will live with us."
nasb@Genesis:30:24 @All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
nasb@Genesis:30:25 @Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city unawares, and killed every male.
nasb@Genesis:30:26 @They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem's house, and went forth.
nasb@Genesis:30:27 @Jacob's sons came upon the slain and looted the city, because they had defiled their sister.
nasb@Genesis:30:28 @They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field;
nasb@Genesis:30:29 @and they captured and looted all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives, even all that was in the houses.
nasb@Genesis:30:30 @Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and my men being few in number, they will gather together against me and attack me and I will be destroyed, I and my household."
nasb@Genesis:30:31 @But they said, "Should he treat our sister as a harlotNULL"
nasb@Genesis:31:1 @Then God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel and live there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."
nasb@Genesis:31:2 @So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods which are among you, and purify yourselves and change your garments;
nasb@Genesis:31:3 @and let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone."
nasb@Genesis:31:4 @So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which they had and the rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the oak which was near Shechem.
nasb@Genesis:31:5 @As they journeyed, there was a great terror upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
nasb@Genesis:31:6 @So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
nasb@Genesis:31:7 @He built an altar there, and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled from his brother.
nasb@Genesis:31:8 @Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; it was named Allon-bacuth.
nasb@Genesis:31:9 @Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.
nasb@Genesis:31:10 @God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; You shall no longer be called Jacob, But Israel shall be your name." Thus He called him Israel.
nasb@Genesis:31:11 @God also said to him, "I am God Almighty; Be fruitful and multiply; A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, And kings shall come forth from you.
nasb@Genesis:31:12" @ The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, And I will give the land to your descendants after you."
nasb@Genesis:31:13 @Then God went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him.
nasb@Genesis:31:14 @Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.
nasb@Genesis:31:15 @So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel.
nasb@Genesis:31:16 @Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe labor.
nasb@Genesis:31:17 @When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, "Do not fear, for now you have another son."
nasb@Genesis:31:18 @It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.
nasb@Genesis:31:19 @So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
nasb@Genesis:31:20 @Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.
nasb@Genesis:31:21 @Then Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
nasb@Genesis:31:22 @It came about while Israel was dwelling in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it.
nasb@Genesis:31:23 @the sons of Leah- Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, then Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;
nasb@Genesis:31:24 @the sons of Rachel- Joseph and Benjamin;
nasb@Genesis:31:25 @and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid- Dan and Naphtali;
nasb@Genesis:31:26 @and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid- Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
nasb@Genesis:31:27 @Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre of Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
nasb@Genesis:31:28 @Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.
nasb@Genesis:31:29 @Isaac breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, an old man of ripe age; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
nasb@Genesis:32:1 @Now these are the records of the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).
nasb@Genesis:32:2 @Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan- Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
nasb@Genesis:32:3 @also Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.
nasb@Genesis:32:4 @Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel,
nasb@Genesis:32:5 @and Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
nasb@Genesis:32:6 @Then Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all his household, and his livestock and all his cattle and all his goods which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob.
nasb@Genesis:32:7 @For their property had become too great for them to live together, and the land where they sojourned could not sustain them because of their livestock.
nasb@Genesis:32:8 @So Esau lived in the hill country of Seir; Esau is Edom.
nasb@Genesis:32:9 @These then are the records of the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.
nasb@Genesis:32:10 @These are the names of Esau's sons- Eliphaz the son of Esau's wife Adah, Reuel the son of Esau's wife Basemath.
nasb@Genesis:32:11 @The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho and Gatam and Kenaz.
nasb@Genesis:32:12 @Timna was a concubine of Esau's son Eliphaz and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Esau's wife Adah.
nasb@Genesis:32:13 @These are the sons of Reuel- Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau's wife Basemath.
nasb@Genesis:32:14 @These were the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon- she bore to Esau, Jeush and Jalam and Korah.
nasb@Genesis:32:15 @These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau, are chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,
nasb@Genesis:32:16 @chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs descended from Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah.
nasb@Genesis:32:17 @These are the sons of Reuel, Esau's son- chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs descended from Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Esau's wife Basemath.
nasb@Genesis:32:18 @These are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah- chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah. These are the chiefs descended from Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah.
nasb@Genesis:32:19 @These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these are their chiefs.
nasb@Genesis:32:20 @These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land- Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah,
nasb@Genesis:32:21 @and Dishon and Ezer and Dishan. These are the chiefs descended from the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom.
nasb@Genesis:32:22 @The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.
nasb@Genesis:32:23 @These are the sons of Shobal- Alvan and Manahath and Ebal, Shepho and Onam.
nasb@Genesis:32:24 @These are the sons of Zibeon- Aiah and Anah--he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness when he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.
nasb@Genesis:32:25 @These are the children of Anah- Dishon, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah.
nasb@Genesis:32:26 @These are the sons of Dishon- Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran.
nasb@Genesis:32:27 @These are the sons of Ezer- Bilhan and Zaavan and Akan.
nasb@Genesis:32:28 @These are the sons of Dishan- Uz and Aran.
nasb@Genesis:32:29 @These are the chiefs descended from the Horites- chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah,
nasb@Genesis:32:30 @chief Dishon, chief Ezer, chief Dishan. These are the chiefs descended from the Horites, according to their various chiefs in the land of Seir.
nasb@Genesis:32:31 @Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the sons of Israel.
nasb@Genesis:32:32 @Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
nasb@Genesis:32:33 @Then Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah became king in his place.
nasb@Genesis:32:34 @Then Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites became king in his place.
nasb@Genesis:32:35 @Then Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the field of Moab, became king in his place; and the name of his city was Avith.
nasb@Genesis:32:36 @Then Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah became king in his place.
nasb@Genesis:32:37 @Then Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates River became king in his place.
nasb@Genesis:32:38 @Then Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor became king in his place.
nasb@Genesis:32:39 @Then Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar became king in his place; and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.
nasb@Genesis:32:40 @Now these are the names of the chiefs descended from Esau, according to their families and their localities, by their names- chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,
nasb@Genesis:32:41 @chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon,
nasb@Genesis:32:42 @chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar,
nasb@Genesis:32:43 @chief Magdiel, chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of the Edomites), according to their habitations in the land of their possession.
nasb@Genesis:33:1 @Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
nasb@Genesis:33:2 @These are the records of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, when seventeen years of age, was pasturing the flock with his brothers while he was still a youth, along with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.
nasb@Genesis:33:3 @Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a varicolored tunic.
nasb@Genesis:33:4 @His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and so they hated him and could not speak to him on friendly terms.
nasb@Genesis:33:5 @Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
nasb@Genesis:33:6 @He said to them, "Please listen to this dream which I have had;
nasb@Genesis:33:7 @for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf rose up and also stood erect; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf."
nasb@Genesis:33:8 @Then his brothers said to him, " Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
nasb@Genesis:33:9 @Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, "Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."
nasb@Genesis:33:10 @He related it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have had? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground?"
nasb@Genesis:33:11 @His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
nasb@Genesis:33:12 @Then his brothers went to pasture their father's flock in Shechem.
nasb@Genesis:33:13 @Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I will go."
nasb@Genesis:33:14 @Then he said to him, "Go now and see about the welfare of your brothers and the welfare of the flock, and bring word back to me." So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
nasb@Genesis:33:15 @A man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
nasb@Genesis:33:16 @He said, "I am looking for my brothers; please tell me where they are pasturing the flock."
nasb@Genesis:33:17 @Then the man said, "They have moved from here; for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
nasb@Genesis:33:18 @When they saw him from a distance and before he came close to them, they plotted against him to put him to death.
nasb@Genesis:33:19 @They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer!
nasb@Genesis:33:20" @Now then, come and let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say, 'A wild beast devoured him.' Then let us see what will become of his dreams!"
nasb@Genesis:33:21 @But Reuben heard this and rescued him out of their hands and said, "Let us not take his life."
nasb@Genesis:33:22 @Reuben further said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hands on him"--that he might rescue him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
nasb@Genesis:33:23 @So it came about, when Joseph reached his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the varicolored tunic that was on him;
nasb@Genesis:33:24 @and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, without any water in it.
nasb@Genesis:33:25 @Then they sat down to eat a meal. And as they raised their eyes and looked, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh, on their way to bring them down to Egypt.
nasb@Genesis:33:26 @Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it for us to kill our brother and cover up his blood?
nasb@Genesis:33:27" @ Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh." And his brothers listened to him.
nasb@Genesis:33:28 @Then some Midianite traders passed by, so they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. Thus they brought Joseph into Egypt.
nasb@Genesis:33:29 @Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he tore his garments.
nasb@Genesis:33:30 @He returned to his brothers and said, " The boy is not there; as for me, where am I to go?"
nasb@Genesis:33:31 @So they took Joseph's tunic, and slaughtered a male goat and dipped the tunic in the blood;
nasb@Genesis:33:32 @and they sent the varicolored tunic and brought it to their father and said, "We found this; please examine it to see whether it is your son's tunic or not."
nasb@Genesis:33:33 @Then he examined it and said, "It is my son's tunic. A wild beast has devoured him; Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!"
nasb@Genesis:33:34 @So Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.
nasb@Genesis:33:35 @Then all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son." So his father wept for him.
nasb@Genesis:33:36 @Meanwhile, the Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, Pharaoh's officer, the captain of the bodyguard.
nasb@Genesis:34:1 @And it came about at that time, that Judah departed from his brothers and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
nasb@Genesis:34:2 @Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her and went in to her.
nasb@Genesis:34:3 @So she conceived and bore a son and he named him Er.
nasb@Genesis:34:4 @Then she conceived again and bore a son and named him Onan.
nasb@Genesis:34:5 @She bore still another son and named him Shelah; and it was at Chezib that she bore him.
nasb@Genesis:34:6 @Now Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
nasb@Genesis:34:7 @But Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the sight of the LORD, so the LORD took his life.
nasb@Genesis:34:8 @Then Judah said to Onan, " Go in to your brother's wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother."
nasb@Genesis:34:9 @Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother.
nasb@Genesis:34:10 @But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also.
nasb@Genesis:34:11 @Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, " Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up"; for he thought, "I am afraid that he too may die like his brothers." So Tamar went and lived in her father's house.
nasb@Genesis:34:12 @Now after a considerable time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and when the time of mourning was ended, Judah went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
nasb@Genesis:34:13 @It was told to Tamar, "Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
nasb@Genesis:34:14 @So she removed her widow's garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
nasb@Genesis:34:15 @When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, for she had covered her face.
nasb@Genesis:34:16 @So he turned aside to her by the road, and said, "Here now, let me come in to you"; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"
nasb@Genesis:34:17 @He said, therefore, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, moreover, "Will you give a pledge until you send it?"
nasb@Genesis:34:18 @He said, "What pledge shall I give you?" And she said, " Your seal and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
nasb@Genesis:34:19 @Then she arose and departed, and removed her veil and put on her widow's garments.
nasb@Genesis:34:20 @When Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, he did not find her.
nasb@Genesis:34:21 @He asked the men of her place, saying, "Where is the temple prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?" But they said, "There has been no temple prostitute here."
nasb@Genesis:34:22 @So he returned to Judah, and said, "I did not find her; and furthermore, the men of the place said, 'There has been no temple prostitute here.'"
nasb@Genesis:34:23 @Then Judah said, "Let her keep them, otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."
nasb@Genesis:34:24 @Now it was about three months later that Judah was informed, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and behold, she is also with child by harlotry." Then Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"
nasb@Genesis:34:25 @It was while she was being brought out that she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "I am with child by the man to whom these things belong." And she said, " Please examine and see, whose signet ring and cords and staff are these?"
nasb@Genesis:34:26 @Judah recognized them, and said, " She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not have relations with her again.
nasb@Genesis:34:27 @It came about at the time she was giving birth, that behold, there were twins in her womb.
nasb@Genesis:34:28 @Moreover, it took place while she was giving birth, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, "This one came out first."
nasb@Genesis:34:29 @But it came about as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out. Then she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" So he was named Perez.
nasb@Genesis:34:30 @Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand; and he was named Zerah.
nasb@Genesis:35:1 @Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.
nasb@Genesis:35:2 @The LORD was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
nasb@Genesis:35:3 @Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.
nasb@Genesis:35:4 @So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he put in his charge.
nasb@Genesis:35:5 @It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph; thus the LORD'S blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.
nasb@Genesis:35:6 @So he left everything he owned in Joseph's charge; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
nasb@Genesis:35:7 @It came about after these events that his master's wife looked with desire at Joseph, and she said, " Lie with me."
nasb@Genesis:35:8 @But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge.
nasb@Genesis:35:9" @ There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?"
nasb@Genesis:35:10 @As she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her.
nasb@Genesis:35:11 @Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside.
nasb@Genesis:35:12 @She caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.
nasb@Genesis:35:13 @When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,
nasb@Genesis:35:14 @she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I screamed.
nasb@Genesis:35:15" @When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside."
nasb@Genesis:35:16 @So she left his garment beside her until his master came home.
nasb@Genesis:35:17 @Then she spoke to him with these words, "The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me;
nasb@Genesis:35:18 @and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside."
nasb@Genesis:35:19 @Now when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, "This is what your slave did to me," his anger burned.
nasb@Genesis:35:20 @So Joseph's master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail.
nasb@Genesis:35:21 @But the LORD was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer.
nasb@Genesis:35:22 @The chief jailer committed to Joseph's charge all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was responsible for it.
nasb@Genesis:35:23 @The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph's charge because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made to prosper.
nasb@Genesis:36:1 @Then it came about after these things, the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
nasb@Genesis:36:2 @Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
nasb@Genesis:36:3 @So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned.
nasb@Genesis:36:4 @The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time.
nasb@Genesis:36:5 @Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.
nasb@Genesis:36:6 @When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, behold, they were dejected.
nasb@Genesis:36:7 @He asked Pharaoh's officials who were with him in confinement in his master's house, " Why are your faces so sad today?"
nasb@Genesis:36:8 @Then they said to him, " We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, " Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."
nasb@Genesis:36:9 @So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, there was a vine in front of me;
nasb@Genesis:36:10 @and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.
nasb@Genesis:36:11" @Now Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
nasb@Genesis:36:12 @Then Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it- the three branches are three days;
nasb@Genesis:36:13 @within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer.
nasb@Genesis:36:14" @Only keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.
nasb@Genesis:36:15" @For I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the dungeon."
nasb@Genesis:36:16 @When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, "I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head;
nasb@Genesis:36:17 @and in the top basket there were some of all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."
nasb@Genesis:36:18 @Then Joseph answered and said, "This is its interpretation- the three baskets are three days;
nasb@Genesis:36:19 @within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."
nasb@Genesis:36:20 @Thus it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
nasb@Genesis:36:21 @He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he put the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
nasb@Genesis:36:22 @but he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.
nasb@Genesis:36:23 @Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
nasb@Genesis:37:1 @Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.
nasb@Genesis:37:2 @And lo, from the Nile there came up seven cows, sleek and fat; and they grazed in the marsh grass.
nasb@Genesis:37:3 @Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt, and they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.
nasb@Genesis:37:4 @The ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
nasb@Genesis:37:5 @He fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.
nasb@Genesis:37:6 @Then behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
nasb@Genesis:37:7 @The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
nasb@Genesis:37:8 @Now in the morning his spirit was troubled, so he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
nasb@Genesis:37:9 @Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I would make mention today of my own offenses.
nasb@Genesis:37:10" @Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker.
nasb@Genesis:37:11" @ We had a dream on the same night, he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.
nasb@Genesis:37:12" @Now a Hebrew youth was with us there, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we related them to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each one he interpreted according to his own dream.
nasb@Genesis:37:13" @And just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; he restored me in my office, but he hanged him."
nasb@Genesis:37:14 @Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh.
nasb@Genesis:37:15 @Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it; and I have heard it said about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
nasb@Genesis:37:16 @Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, " It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer."
nasb@Genesis:37:17 @So Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile; ![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
