jub - Genesis:37-38

jub@Genesis:37:1 @ And Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

jub@Genesis:37:2 @ These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.

jub@Genesis:37:3 @ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his [other] sons because he [was] the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of [many] colours.

jub@Genesis:37:4 @ And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him and could not speak peaceably unto him.

jub@Genesis:37:5 @ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] to his brethren; and they hated him yet the more.

jub@Genesis:37:6 @ And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

jub@Genesis:37:7 @ For, behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field, and, behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about and made obeisance to my sheaf.

jub@Genesis:37:8 @ And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? Or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words.

jub@Genesis:37:9 @ And he dreamed yet another dream and told it [to] his brethren, saying, Behold, I have dreamed another dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.

jub@Genesis:37:10 @ And he told [it] to his father and to his brethren; and his father reprehended him and said unto him, What [is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

jub@Genesis:37:11 @ And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the word.

jub@Genesis:37:12 @ And his brethren went to feed their father's sheep in Shechem.

jub@Genesis:37:13 @ And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed [the sheep] in Shechem? Come and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here [am] I.

jub@Genesis:37:14 @ And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it is well with thy brethren and well with the sheep and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

jub@Genesis:37:15 @ And a certain man found him, and, behold, [he was] wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

jub@Genesis:37:16 @ And he said, I seek my brethren; tell me, I pray thee, where they feed [their flocks].

jub@Genesis:37:17 @ And the man said, They are departed from here; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren and found them in Dothan.

jub@Genesis:37:18 @ And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

jub@Genesis:37:19 @ And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes;

jub@Genesis:37:20 @ now therefore, come and let us slay him and cast him into a cistern, and we will say, Some evil beast has devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

jub@Genesis:37:21 @ When Reuben heard [it], he delivered him out of their hands and said, Let us not kill him.

jub@Genesis:37:22 @ And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood [but] cast him into this cistern that [is] in the wilderness and lay no hand upon him that he might rid him out of their hands to deliver him to his father again.

jub@Genesis:37:23 @ And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, [his] coat of [many] colours that [was] on him;

jub@Genesis:37:24 @ and they took him and cast him into the cistern; and the pit [was] empty, [there was] no water in it.

jub@Genesis:37:25 @ And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing aromas and balm and myrrh, going to carry [it] down to Egypt.

jub@Genesis:37:26 @ Then Judah said unto his brethren, What profit [is it] if we slay our brother and conceal his blood?

jub@Genesis:37:27 @ Come and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites and let not our hand be upon him; for he [is] our brother [and] our flesh. And his brethren were content.

jub@Genesis:37:28 @ And when the Midianite merchantmen passed by, they took and lifted up Joseph out of the cistern and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty [pieces] of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.

jub@Genesis:37:29 @ And Reuben returned unto the cistern; and, behold, Joseph [was] not inside, and he rent his clothes.

jub@Genesis:37:30 @ And he returned unto his brethren and said, The young man [is] not; and I, where shall I go?

jub@Genesis:37:31 @ Then they took Joseph's coat and killed a kid of the goats and dipped the coat in the blood;

jub@Genesis:37:32 @ and they sent the coat of [many] colours, and they brought [it] to their father and said, We have found this, recognize now whether it [is] thy son's coat or not.

jub@Genesis:37:33 @ And he knew it and said, [It is] my son's coat; an evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

jub@Genesis:37:34 @ Then Jacob rent his clothes and put sackcloth upon his loins and mourned for his son many days.

jub@Genesis:37:35 @ And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

jub@Genesis:37:36 @ And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's [and] captain of the guard.:

jub@Genesis:38:1 @ And it came to pass at that time that Judah went down from his brethren and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name [was] Hirah.

jub@Genesis:38:2 @ And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name [was] Shuah, and he took her and went in unto her.

jub@Genesis:38:3 @ And she conceived and gave birth to a son, and he called his name Er.

jub@Genesis:38:4 @ And she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she called his name Onan.

jub@Genesis:38:5 @ And she yet again conceived and gave birth to a son and called his name Shelah. And he was at Chezib, when she gave birth to him.

jub@Genesis:38:6 @ And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name [was] Tamar.

jub@Genesis:38:7 @ And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD and the LORD slew him.

jub@Genesis:38:8 @ Then Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife and marry her and raise up seed to thy brother.

jub@Genesis:38:9 @ And Onan knew that the seed would not be his, and it came to pass when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he corrupted [it] on the ground, to not give seed to his brother.

jub@Genesis:38:10 @ And the thing which he did displeased the LORD, and he slew him also.

jub@Genesis:38:11 @ Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house until Shelah, my son, is grown; for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren [did]. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.

jub@Genesis:38:12 @ And many days passed and Judah's wife, the daughter of Shuah, died; and Judah was comforted and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.

jub@Genesis:38:13 @ And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father in law goes up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

jub@Genesis:38:14 @ And she took off her widow's garments and covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself and sat by the gate to the waters by the way to Timnath, for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.

jub@Genesis:38:15 @ When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] a harlot because she had covered her face.

jub@Genesis:38:16 @ And he turned unto her by the way and said, Come now, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee (for he knew not that she [was] his daughter-in-law). And she said, What wilt thou give me that thou may come in unto me?

jub@Genesis:38:17 @ And he said, I will send [thee] from the sheep a kid [from the goats]. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge until thou send [it]?

jub@Genesis:38:18 @ Then he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy mantel and thy staff that [is] in thine hand. And he gave them [to] her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

jub@Genesis:38:19 @ And she arose and went away and took off her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood.

jub@Genesis:38:20 @ And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand; but he did not find her.

jub@Genesis:38:21 @ Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where [is] the cult prostitute of the waters by the way side? And they said, There was no cult prostitute in this [place].

jub@Genesis:38:22 @ And he returned to Judah and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said [that] there was no cult prostitute in this [place].

jub@Genesis:38:23 @ And Judah said, Let her take [the things] for herself lest we be shamed; behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

jub@Genesis:38:24 @ And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar, thy daughter-in-law, has played the harlot; and also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth and let her be burnt.

jub@Genesis:38:25 @ When she [was] brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man whose these [are], [am] I with child; and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet and mantel and staff.

jub@Genesis:38:26 @ Then Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She has been more righteous than I because I did not give her to Shelah, my son. And he knew her again no more.

jub@Genesis:38:27 @ And it came to pass in the time of her travail that, behold, twins [were] in her womb.

jub@Genesis:38:28 @ And it came to pass when she travailed, that [the one] put out [his] hand, and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.

jub@Genesis:38:29 @ And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out; and she said, Why hast thou brought this breach upon thee? Therefore his name was called Pharez.

jub@Genesis:38:30 @ And afterward his brother that had the scarlet thread upon his hand came out, and his name was called Zarah.:

jub@Genesis:39:1 @ And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hands of the Ishmeelites, who had brought him down there.
