mkjv Genesis:37-38
mkjv@Genesis:37:1 @ And Jacob lived in the land of the travels of his father, in the land of Canaan.
mkjv@Genesis:37:2 @ These [are] the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, came tending the flock with his brothers. And he was a youth with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought to his father an evil report of them.
mkjv@Genesis:37:3 @ And Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a tunic [reaching to] the soles [of his] feet.
mkjv@Genesis:37:4 @ And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
mkjv@Genesis:37:5 @ And Joseph dreamed a dream and told [it] to his brothers. And they hated him still more.
mkjv@Genesis:37:6 @ And he said to them, I pray you, Hear this dream which I have dreamed.
mkjv@Genesis:37:7 @ For behold! We [were] binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and lo, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And behold, your sheaves stood around and bowed down to my sheaf.
mkjv@Genesis:37:8 @ And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have the rule over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.
mkjv@Genesis:37:9 @ And he dreamed still another dream, and told it to his brothers. And he said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream. And behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.
mkjv@Genesis:37:10 @ And he told [it] to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, What [is] this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I, and your mother, and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the earth before you?
mkjv@Genesis:37:11 @ And his brothers were jealous of him. But his father observed the saying.
mkjv@Genesis:37:12 @ And his brothers went to feed his father's flock in Shechem.
mkjv@Genesis:37:13 @ And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brothers feed the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here I [am].
mkjv@Genesis:37:14 @ And he said to him, please go see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks. And bring me word again. And he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
mkjv@Genesis:37:15 @ And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, What are you looking for?
mkjv@Genesis:37:16 @ And he said, I [am] seeking for my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding.
mkjv@Genesis:37:17 @ And the man said, They are gone from here, for I heard [them] say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
mkjv@Genesis:37:18 @ And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.
mkjv@Genesis:37:19 @ And they said to one another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
mkjv@Genesis:37:20 @ Therefore come now, and let us kill him, and throw him into some pit, and we will say some evil beast has devoured him. And we shall see what will become of his dreams.
mkjv@Genesis:37:21 @ And Reuben heard, and [he] delivered him out of their hands and said, Let us not kill him.
mkjv@Genesis:37:22 @ And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him (in order to rescue him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again).
mkjv@Genesis:37:23 @ And it happened when Joseph had come to his brothers, they stripped Joseph out of his tunic, the tunic reaching to the soles [of his] feet that was on him.
mkjv@Genesis:37:24 @ And they took him and threw him into a pit. And the pit [was] empty, with no water in it.
mkjv@Genesis:37:25 @ And they sat down to eat bread. And they lifted up their eyes, and looked. And behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
mkjv@Genesis:37:26 @ And Judah said to his brothers, What profit [is it] if we should kill our brother and hide his blood?
mkjv@Genesis:37:27 @ Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him. For he [is] our brother, and our flesh. And his brothers listened.
mkjv@Genesis:37:28 @ And men, Midianites traders, came by. And they drew up Joseph and took him out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty [pieces] of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
mkjv@Genesis:37:29 @ And Reuben returned to the pit. And behold! Joseph [was] not in the pit! And he tore his clothes.
mkjv@Genesis:37:30 @ And he returned to his brothers and said, The child, he is not. And I, where shall I go?
mkjv@Genesis:37:31 @ And they took Joseph's tunic, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
mkjv@Genesis:37:32 @ And they sent the tunic [reaching to] the soles of the feet, and they brought it to their father. And they said, We have found this. Do you know whether it [is] your son's coat or not?
mkjv@Genesis:37:33 @ And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son's tunic. An evil beast has eaten him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
mkjv@Genesis:37:34 @ And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
mkjv@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 to my son mourning. And his father wept for him.
mkjv@Genesis:37:36 @ And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, the chief of the executioners.
mkjv@Genesis:38:1 @ And it happened at that time Judah went down from his brothers and turned in to a certain Adullamite, named Hirah.
mkjv@Genesis:38:2 @ And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shuah. And he took her and went in to her.
mkjv@Genesis:38:3 @ And she conceived and bore a son. And he called his name Er.
mkjv@Genesis:38:4 @ And she conceived again, and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
mkjv@Genesis:38:5 @ And she yet again conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Shelah. And she was at Chezib when she bore him.
mkjv@Genesis:38:6 @ And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name [was] Tamar.
mkjv@Genesis:38:7 @ And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD. And the LORD killed him.
mkjv@Genesis:38:8 @ And Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife, and marry [her], and raise up seed to your brother.
mkjv@Genesis:38:9 @ And Onan knew that the seed would not be his. And it happened when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled on the ground, not giving seed to his brother.
mkjv@Genesis:38:10 @ And what he did was evil in the eyes of the LORD. Therefore He killed him also.
mkjv@Genesis:38:11 @ Then said Judah to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at your father's house until Shelah my son is grown. For he said, Lest perhaps he die also, as his brothers [did]. And Tamar went and lived in her father's house.
mkjv@Genesis:38:12 @ And the days were many, and Judah's wife, the daughter of Shuah, died. And Judah was comforted, and went up to shearers of his sheep, he and his friend Hiram of Adullam, to Timnah.
mkjv@Genesis:38:13 @ And it was told to Tamar, saying, Behold, your father-in-law goes up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
mkjv@Genesis:38:14 @ And she put off her widow's clothes, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself. And [she] sat in an open place, which [is] by the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown and she was not given to him as wife.
mkjv@Genesis:38:15 @ When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, because she had covered her face.
mkjv@Genesis:38:16 @ And he turned aside to her by the wayside, and said, Come 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, so that you may come in to me?
mkjv@Genesis:38:17 @ And he said, I will send a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Will you give me a pledge until you send [it]?
mkjv@Genesis:38:18 @ And he said, What pledge shall I give you? And she said, Your signet, and your bracelet, and your staff that [is] in your hand. And he gave to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
mkjv@Genesis:38:19 @ And she arose, and went away, and laid away her veil from her, and put on the clothes of her widowhood.
mkjv@Genesis:38:20 @ And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand. But he did not find her.
mkjv@Genesis:38:21 @ Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where [is] the harlot who was by the wayside? And they said, There [was] no harlot here.
mkjv@Genesis:38:22 @ And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her. And also the men of the place said, There [was] no harlot here.
mkjv@Genesis:38:23 @ And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be ashamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.
mkjv@Genesis:38:24 @ And it happened, about three months afterward, that it was told Judah, saying, Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burned.
mkjv@Genesis:38:25 @ When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose things these [are]. And she said, Please observe. Whose things are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff?
mkjv@Genesis:38:26 @ And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She has been more righteous than I have, because I did not give her to my son Shelah. And he never knew her again.
mkjv@Genesis:38:27 @ And it happened, in the time of her travail, behold, twins [were] in her womb.
mkjv@Genesis:38:28 @ And when she travailed, it happened that [one] put out a hand. And the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This one came out first.
mkjv@Genesis:38:29 @ And it happened as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. And she said, How have you broken a break for yourself? And his name was called Pharez.
mkjv@Genesis:38:30 @ And afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread. And his name was called Zarah.
mkjv@Genesis:39:1 @ And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, the chief of the executioners, an Egyptian man, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
