rsv@Genesis:1:1 @ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

rsv@Genesis:1:2 @ The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.

rsv@Genesis:1:3 @ And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

rsv@Genesis:1:4 @ And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

rsv@Genesis:1:5 @ God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

rsv@Genesis:1:6 @ And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."

rsv@Genesis:1:7 @ And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:8 @ And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

rsv@Genesis:1:9 @ And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:10 @ God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:11 @ And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:12 @ The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:13 @ And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.

rsv@Genesis:1:14 @ And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years,

rsv@Genesis:1:15 @ and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:16 @ And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also.

rsv@Genesis:1:17 @ And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth,

rsv@Genesis:1:18 @ to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:19 @ And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

rsv@Genesis:1:20 @ And God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens."

rsv@Genesis:1:21 @ So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:22 @ And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:1:23 @ And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

rsv@Genesis:1:24 @ And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:25 @ And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:26 @ Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:1:27 @ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

rsv@Genesis:1:28 @ And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:1:29 @ And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.

rsv@Genesis:1:30 @ And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:31 @ And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

rsv@Genesis:2:1 @ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

rsv@Genesis:2:2 @ And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.

rsv@Genesis:2:3 @ So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.

rsv@Genesis:2:4 @ These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

rsv@Genesis:2:5 @ when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up--for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

rsv@Genesis:2:6 @ but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground--

rsv@Genesis:2:7 @ then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

rsv@Genesis:2:8 @ And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

rsv@Genesis:2:9 @ And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

rsv@Genesis:2:10 @ A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.

rsv@Genesis:2:11 @ The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

rsv@Genesis:2:12 @ and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there.

rsv@Genesis:2:13 @ The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Cush.

rsv@Genesis:2:14 @ And the name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

rsv@Genesis:2:15 @ The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.

rsv@Genesis:2:16 @ And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;

rsv@Genesis:2:17 @ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die."

rsv@Genesis:2:18 @ Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."

rsv@Genesis:2:19 @ So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

rsv@Genesis:2:20 @ The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.

rsv@Genesis:2:21 @ So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh;

rsv@Genesis:2:22 @ and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

rsv@Genesis:2:23 @ Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

rsv@Genesis:2:24 @ Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.

rsv@Genesis:2:25 @ And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.

rsv@Genesis:3:1 @ Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, `You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?"

rsv@Genesis:3:2 @ And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;

rsv@Genesis:3:3 @ but God said, `You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

rsv@Genesis:3:4 @ But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die.

rsv@Genesis:3:5 @ For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

rsv@Genesis:3:6 @ So 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 to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate.

rsv@Genesis:3:7 @ Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.

rsv@Genesis:3:8 @ And 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.

rsv@Genesis:3:9 @ But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

rsv@Genesis:3:10 @ And he said, "I heard the sound of thee in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

rsv@Genesis:3:11 @ He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"

rsv@Genesis:3:12 @ The man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate."

rsv@Genesis:3:13 @ Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I ate."

rsv@Genesis:3:14 @ The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

rsv@Genesis:3:15 @ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."

rsv@Genesis:3:16 @ To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

rsv@Genesis:3:17 @ And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, `You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

rsv@Genesis:3:18 @ thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.

rsv@Genesis:3:19 @ In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

rsv@Genesis:3:20 @ The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

rsv@Genesis:3:21 @ And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

rsv@Genesis:3:22 @ Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever"--

rsv@Genesis:3:23 @ therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

rsv@Genesis:3:24 @ He drove out the man; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

rsv@Genesis:4:1 @ Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:4:2 @ And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.

rsv@Genesis:4:3 @ In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground,

rsv@Genesis:4:4 @ and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering,

rsv@Genesis:4:5 @ but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

rsv@Genesis:4:6 @ The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?

rsv@Genesis:4:7 @ If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it."

rsv@Genesis:4:8 @ Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.

rsv@Genesis:4:9 @ Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

rsv@Genesis:4:10 @ And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

rsv@Genesis:4:11 @ And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

rsv@Genesis:4:12 @ When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:4:13 @ Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

rsv@Genesis:4:14 @ Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."

rsv@Genesis:4:15 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.

rsv@Genesis:4:16 @ Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

rsv@Genesis:4:17 @ Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:4:18 @ To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad was the father of Me-hu'ja-el, and Me-hu'ja-el the father of Me-thu'sha-el, and Me-thu'sha-el the father of Lamech.

rsv@Genesis:4:19 @ And Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

rsv@Genesis:4:20 @ Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle.

rsv@Genesis:4:21 @ His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

rsv@Genesis:4:22 @ Zillah bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Na'amah.

rsv@Genesis:4:23 @ Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, hearken to what I say: I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.

rsv@Genesis:4:24 @ If Cain is avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

rsv@Genesis:4:25 @ And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."

rsv@Genesis:4:26 @ To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:5:1 @ This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.

rsv@Genesis:5:2 @ Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.

rsv@Genesis:5:3 @ When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

rsv@Genesis:5:4 @ The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:5 @ Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:6 @ When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh.

rsv@Genesis:5:7 @ Seth lived after the birth of Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:8 @ Thus all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:9 @ When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan.

rsv@Genesis:5:10 @ Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:11 @ Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:12 @ When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Ma-hal'alel.

rsv@Genesis:5:13 @ Kenan lived after the birth of Ma-hal'alel eight hundred and forty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:14 @ Thus all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:15 @ When Ma-hal'alel had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared.

rsv@Genesis:5:16 @ Ma-hal'alel lived after the birth of Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:17 @ Thus all the days of Ma-hal'alel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:18 @ When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:5:19 @ Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:20 @ Thus all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:21 @ When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methu'selah.

rsv@Genesis:5:22 @ Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methu'selah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:23 @ Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

rsv@Genesis:5:24 @ Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

rsv@Genesis:5:25 @ When Methu'selah had lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech.

rsv@Genesis:5:26 @ Methu'selah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:27 @ Thus all the days of Methu'selah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:28 @ When Lamech had lived a hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son,

rsv@Genesis:5:29 @ and called his name Noah, saying, "Out of the ground which the LORD has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands."

rsv@Genesis:5:30 @ Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:31 @ Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:32 @ After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

rsv@Genesis:6:1 @ When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

rsv@Genesis:6:2 @ the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took to wife such of them as they chose.

rsv@Genesis:6:3 @ Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."

rsv@Genesis:6:4 @ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

rsv@Genesis:6:5 @ The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

rsv@Genesis:6:6 @ And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.

rsv@Genesis:6:7 @ So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."

rsv@Genesis:6:8 @ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:6:9 @ These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

rsv@Genesis:6:10 @ And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

rsv@Genesis:6:11 @ Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence.

rsv@Genesis:6:12 @ And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:13 @ And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:14 @ Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.

rsv@Genesis:6:15 @ This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

rsv@Genesis:6:16 @ Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and set the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks.

rsv@Genesis:6:17 @ For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall die.

rsv@Genesis:6:18 @ But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

rsv@Genesis:6:19 @ And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

rsv@Genesis:6:20 @ Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you, to keep them alive.

rsv@Genesis:6:21 @ Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them."

rsv@Genesis:6:22 @ Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

rsv@Genesis:7:1 @ Then the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.

rsv@Genesis:7:2 @ Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate;

rsv@Genesis:7:3 @ and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive upon the face of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:4 @ For in seven days I will send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground."

rsv@Genesis:7:5 @ And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

rsv@Genesis:7:6 @ Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:7 @ And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark, to escape the waters of the flood.

rsv@Genesis:7:8 @ Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground,

rsv@Genesis:7:9 @ two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah.

rsv@Genesis:7:10 @ And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:11 @ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

rsv@Genesis:7:12 @ And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

rsv@Genesis:7:13 @ On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark,

rsv@Genesis:7:14 @ they and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort.

rsv@Genesis:7:15 @ They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.

rsv@Genesis:7:16 @ And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.

rsv@Genesis:7:17 @ The flood continued forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:18 @ The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters.

rsv@Genesis:7:19 @ And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered;

rsv@Genesis:7:20 @ the waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.

rsv@Genesis:7:21 @ And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man;

rsv@Genesis:7:22 @ everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.

rsv@Genesis:7:23 @ He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

rsv@Genesis:7:24 @ And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

rsv@Genesis:8:1 @ But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided;

rsv@Genesis:8:2 @ the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,

rsv@Genesis:8:3 @ and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had abated;

rsv@Genesis:8:4 @ and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest upon the mountains of Ar'arat.

rsv@Genesis:8:5 @ And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

rsv@Genesis:8:6 @ At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,

rsv@Genesis:8:7 @ and sent forth a raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.

rsv@Genesis:8:8 @ Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground;

rsv@Genesis:8:9 @ but the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put forth his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.

rsv@Genesis:8:10 @ He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

rsv@Genesis:8:11 @ and the dove came back to him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.

rsv@Genesis:8:12 @ Then he waited another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.

rsv@Genesis:8:13 @ In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.

rsv@Genesis:8:14 @ In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

rsv@Genesis:8:15 @ Then God said to Noah,

rsv@Genesis:8:16 @ "Go forth from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.

rsv@Genesis:8:17 @ Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh--birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth--that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:8:18 @ So Noah went forth, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.

rsv@Genesis:8:19 @ And every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves upon the earth, went forth by families out of the ark.

rsv@Genesis:8:20 @ Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

rsv@Genesis:8:21 @ And when the LORD smelled the pleasing odor, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done.

rsv@Genesis:8:22 @ While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."

rsv@Genesis:9:1 @ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

rsv@Genesis:9:2 @ The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.

rsv@Genesis:9:3 @ Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.

rsv@Genesis:9:4 @ Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

rsv@Genesis:9:5 @ For your lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning; of every beast I will require it and of man; of every man's brother I will require the life of man.

rsv@Genesis:9:6 @ Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image.

rsv@Genesis:9:7 @ And you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in it."

rsv@Genesis:9:8 @ Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him,

rsv@Genesis:9:9 @ "Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your descendants after you,

rsv@Genesis:9:10 @ and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark.

rsv@Genesis:9:11 @ I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:12 @ And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:

rsv@Genesis:9:13 @ I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

rsv@Genesis:9:14 @ When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,

rsv@Genesis:9:15 @ I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

rsv@Genesis:9:16 @ When the bow is in the clouds, I will look upon it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:17 @ God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:18 @ The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:9:19 @ These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled.

rsv@Genesis:9:20 @ Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard;

rsv@Genesis:9:21 @ and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent.

rsv@Genesis:9:22 @ And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

rsv@Genesis:9:23 @ Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

rsv@Genesis:9:24 @ When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him,

rsv@Genesis:9:25 @ he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers."

rsv@Genesis:9:26 @ He also said, "Blessed by the LORD my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.

rsv@Genesis:9:27 @ God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave."

rsv@Genesis:9:28 @ After the flood Noah lived three hundred and fifty years.

rsv@Genesis:9:29 @ All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:10:1 @ These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; sons were born to them after the flood.

rsv@Genesis:10:2 @ The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

rsv@Genesis:10:3 @ The sons of Gomer: Ash'kenaz, Riphath, and Togar'mah.

rsv@Genesis:10:4 @ The sons of Javan: Eli'shah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Do'danim.

rsv@Genesis:10:5 @ From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations.

rsv@Genesis:10:6 @ The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:10:7 @ The sons of Cush: Seba, Hav'ilah, Sabtah, Ra'amah, and Sab'teca. The sons of Ra'amah: Sheba and Dedan.

rsv@Genesis:10:8 @ Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.

rsv@Genesis:10:9 @ He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:10:10 @ The beginning of his kingdom was Ba'bel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.

rsv@Genesis:10:11 @ From that land he went into Assyria, and built Nin'eveh, Reho'both-Ir, Calah, and

rsv@Genesis:10:12 @ Resen between Nin'eveh and Calah; that is the great city.

rsv@Genesis:10:13 @ Egypt became the father of Ludim, An'amim, Leha'bim, Naph-tu'him,

rsv@Genesis:10:14 @ Pathru'sim, Caslu'him (whence came the Philistines), and Caph'torim.

rsv@Genesis:10:15 @ Canaan became the father of Sidon his first-born, and Heth,

rsv@Genesis:10:17 @ the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

rsv@Genesis:10:18 @ the Ar'vadites, the Zem'arites, and the Ha'mathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

rsv@Genesis:10:19 @ And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomor'rah, Admah, and Zeboi'im, as far as Lasha.

rsv@Genesis:10:20 @ These are the sons of Ham, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

rsv@Genesis:10:21 @ To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.

rsv@Genesis:10:22 @ The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpach'shad, Lud, and Aram.

rsv@Genesis:10:23 @ The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

rsv@Genesis:10:24 @ Arpach'shad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

rsv@Genesis:10:25 @ To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.

rsv@Genesis:10:26 @ Joktan became the father of Almo'dad, Sheleph, Hazarma'veth, Jerah,

rsv@Genesis:10:27 @ Hador'am, Uzal, Diklah,

rsv@Genesis:10:28 @ Obal, Abim'a-el, Sheba,

rsv@Genesis:10:29 @ Ophir, Hav'ilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

rsv@Genesis:10:30 @ The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.

rsv@Genesis:10:31 @ These are the sons of Shem, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

rsv@Genesis:10:32 @ These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

rsv@Genesis:11:1 @ Now the whole earth had one language and few words.

rsv@Genesis:11:2 @ And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

rsv@Genesis:11:3 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.

rsv@Genesis:11:4 @ Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

rsv@Genesis:11:5 @ And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built.

rsv@Genesis:11:6 @ And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.

rsv@Genesis:11:7 @ Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

rsv@Genesis:11:8 @ So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

rsv@Genesis:11:9 @ Therefore its name was called Ba'bel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:11:10 @ These are the descendants of Shem. When Shem was a hundred years old, he became the father of Arpach'shad two years after the flood;

rsv@Genesis:11:11 @ and Shem lived after the birth of Arpach'shad five hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:12 @ When Arpach'shad had lived thirty-five years, he became the father of Shelah;

rsv@Genesis:11:13 @ and Arpach'shad lived after the birth of Shelah four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:14 @ When Shelah had lived thirty years, he became the father of Eber;

rsv@Genesis:11:15 @ and Shelah lived after the birth of Eber four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:16 @ When Eber had lived thirty-four years, he became the father of Peleg;

rsv@Genesis:11:17 @ and Eber lived after the birth of Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:18 @ When Peleg had lived thirty years, he became the father of Re'u;

rsv@Genesis:11:19 @ and Peleg lived after the birth of Re'u two hundred and nine years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:20 @ When Re'u had lived thirty-two years, he became the father of Serug;

rsv@Genesis:11:21 @ and Re'u lived after the birth of Serug two hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:22 @ When Serug had lived thirty years, he became the father of Nahor;

rsv@Genesis:11:23 @ and Serug lived after the birth of Nahor two hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:24 @ When Nahor had lived twenty-nine years, he became the father of Terah;

rsv@Genesis:11:25 @ and Nahor lived after the birth of Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:26 @ When Terah had lived seventy years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

rsv@Genesis:11:27 @ Now these are the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.

rsv@Genesis:11:28 @ Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chalde'ans.

rsv@Genesis:11:29 @ And Abram and Nahor took wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sar'ai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah.

rsv@Genesis:11:30 @ Now Sar'ai was barren; she had no child.

rsv@Genesis:11:31 @ Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sar'ai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chalde'ans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there.

rsv@Genesis:11:32 @ The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.

rsv@Genesis:12:1 @ Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

rsv@Genesis:12:2 @ And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

rsv@Genesis:12:3 @ I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves."

rsv@Genesis:12:4 @ So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

rsv@Genesis:12:5 @ And Abram took Sar'ai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions which they had gathered, and the persons that they had gotten in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan,

rsv@Genesis:12:6 @ Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.

rsv@Genesis:12:7 @ Then the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

rsv@Genesis:12:8 @ Thence he removed to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:12:9 @ And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.

rsv@Genesis:12:10 @ Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.

rsv@Genesis:12:11 @ When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sar'ai his wife, "I know that you are a woman beautiful to behold;

rsv@Genesis:12:12 @ and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, `This is his wife'; then they will kill me, but they will let you live.

rsv@Genesis:12:13 @ Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared on your account."

rsv@Genesis:12:14 @ When Abram entered Egypt the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

rsv@Genesis:12:15 @ And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

rsv@Genesis:12:16 @ And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, he-asses, menservants, maidservants, she-asses, and camels.

rsv@Genesis:12:17 @ But the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sar'ai, Abram's wife.

rsv@Genesis:12:18 @ So Pharaoh called Abram, and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

rsv@Genesis:12:19 @ Why did you say, `She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife, take her, and be gone."

rsv@Genesis:12:20 @ And Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him; and they set him on the way, with his wife and all that he had.

rsv@Genesis:13:1 @ So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb.

rsv@Genesis:13:2 @ Now Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

rsv@Genesis:13:3 @ And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

rsv@Genesis:13:4 @ to the place where he had made an altar at the first; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:13:5 @ And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,

rsv@Genesis:13:6 @ so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together,

rsv@Genesis:13:7 @ and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. At that time the Canaanites and the Per'izzites dwelt in the land.

rsv@Genesis:13:8 @ Then Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are kinsmen.

rsv@Genesis:13:9 @ Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left."

rsv@Genesis:13:10 @ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw that the Jordan valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zo'ar; this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomor'rah.

rsv@Genesis:13:11 @ So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan valley, and Lot journeyed east; thus they separated from each other.

rsv@Genesis:13:12 @ Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, while Lot dwelt among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

rsv@Genesis:13:13 @ Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:13:14 @ The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

rsv@Genesis:13:15 @ for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your descendants for ever.

rsv@Genesis:13:16 @ I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your descendants also can be counted.

rsv@Genesis:13:17 @ Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you."

rsv@Genesis:13:18 @ So Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron; and there he built an altar to the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:14:1 @ In the days of Am'raphel king of Shinar, Ar'ioch king of Ella'sar, Ched-or-lao'mer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goi'im,

rsv@Genesis:14:2 @ these kings made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomor'rah, Shinab king of Admah, Sheme'ber king of Zeboi'im, and the king of Bela (that is, Zo'ar).

rsv@Genesis:14:3 @ And all these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).

rsv@Genesis:14:4 @ Twelve years they had served Ched-or-lao'mer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

rsv@Genesis:14:5 @ In the fourteenth year Ched-or-lao'mer and the kings who were with him came and subdued the Reph'aim in Ash'teroth-karna'im, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Sha'veh-kiriatha'im,

rsv@Genesis:14:6 @ and the Horites in their Mount Se'ir as far as El-paran on the border of the wilderness;

rsv@Genesis:14:7 @ then they turned back and came to Enmish'pat (that is, Kadesh), and subdued all the country of the Amal'ekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in Haz'azon-ta'mar.

rsv@Genesis:14:8 @ Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomor'rah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboi'im, and the king of Bela (that is, Zo'ar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim

rsv@Genesis:14:9 @ with Ched-or-lao'mer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goi'im, Am'raphel king of Shinar, and Ar'ioch king of Ella'sar, four kings against five.

rsv@Genesis:14:10 @ Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits; and as the kings of Sodom and Gomor'rah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the mountain.

rsv@Genesis:14:11 @ So the enemy took all the goods of Sodom and Gomor'rah, and all their provisions, and went their way;

rsv@Genesis:14:12 @ they also took Lot, the son of Abram's brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

rsv@Genesis:14:13 @ Then one who had escaped came, and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner; these were allies of Abram.

rsv@Genesis:14:14 @ When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen of them, and went in pursuit as far as Daniel.

rsv@Genesis:14:15 @ And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and routed them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus.

rsv@Genesis:14:16 @ Then he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his kinsman Lot with his goods, and the women and the people.

rsv@Genesis:14:17 @ After his return from the defeat of Ched-or-lao'mer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).

rsv@Genesis:14:18 @ And Mel-chiz'edek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High.

rsv@Genesis:14:19 @ And he blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, maker of heaven and earth;

rsv@Genesis:14:20 @ and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!" And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

rsv@Genesis:14:21 @ And the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself."

rsv@Genesis:14:22 @ But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to the LORD God Most High, maker of heaven and earth,

rsv@Genesis:14:23 @ that I would not take a thread or a sandal-thong or anything that is yours, lest you should say, `I have made Abram rich.'

rsv@Genesis:14:24 @ I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me; let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share."

rsv@Genesis:15:1 @ After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great."

rsv@Genesis:15:2 @ But Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Elie'zer of Damascus?"

rsv@Genesis:15:3 @ And Abram said, "Behold, thou hast given me no offspring; and a slave born in my house will be my heir."

rsv@Genesis:15:4 @ And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, "This man shall not be your heir; your own son shall be your heir."

rsv@Genesis:15:5 @ And he brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them." Then he said to him, "So shall your descendants be."

rsv@Genesis:15:6 @ And he believed the LORD; and he reckoned it to him as righteousness.

rsv@Genesis:15:7 @ And he said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you from Ur of the Chalde'ans, to give you this land to possess."

rsv@Genesis:15:8 @ But he said, "O Lord GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?"

rsv@Genesis:15:9 @ He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a she-goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

rsv@Genesis:15:10 @ And he brought him all these, cut them in two, and laid each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.

rsv@Genesis:15:12 @ As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram; and lo, a dread and great darkness fell upon him.

rsv@Genesis:15:13 @ Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years;

rsv@Genesis:17:8 @ And I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

rsv@Genesis:17:9 @ And God said to Abraham, "As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

rsv@Genesis:17:10 @ This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

rsv@Genesis:17:11 @ You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

rsv@Genesis:17:12 @ He that is eight days old among you shall be circumcised; every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house, or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring,

rsv@Genesis:17:13 @ both he that is born in your house and he that is bought with your money, shall be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.

rsv@Genesis:17:14 @ Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."

rsv@Genesis:17:15 @ And God said to Abraham, "As for Sar'ai your wife, you shall not call her name Sar'ai, but Sarah shall be her name.

rsv@Genesis:17:16 @ I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her; I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall come from her."

rsv@Genesis:17:17 @ Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, "Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"

rsv@Genesis:17:18 @ And Abraham said to God, "O that Ish'mael might live in thy sight!"

rsv@Genesis:17:19 @ God said, "No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

rsv@Genesis:17:20 @ As for Ish'mael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

rsv@Genesis:17:21 @ But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year."

rsv@Genesis:17:22 @ When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

rsv@Genesis:17:23 @ Then Abraham took Ish'mael his son and all the slaves born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.

rsv@Genesis:17:24 @ Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

rsv@Genesis:17:25 @ And Ish'mael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

rsv@Genesis:17:26 @ That very day Abraham and his son Ish'mael were circumcised;

rsv@Genesis:17:27 @ and all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

rsv@Genesis:18:1 @ And the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day.

rsv@Genesis:18:2 @ He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the earth,

rsv@Genesis:18:3 @ and said, "My lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant.

rsv@Genesis:18:4 @ Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree,

rsv@Genesis:18:5 @ while I fetch a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on--since you have come to your servant." So they said, "Do as you have said."

rsv@Genesis:18:6 @ And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes."

rsv@Genesis:18:7 @ And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it.

rsv@Genesis:18:8 @ Then he took curds, and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.

rsv@Genesis:18:9 @ They said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "She is in the tent."

rsv@Genesis:18:10 @ The LORD said, "I will surely return to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife shall have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him.

rsv@Genesis:18:11 @ Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

rsv@Genesis:18:12 @ So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?"

rsv@Genesis:18:13 @ The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, `Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?'

rsv@Genesis:18:14 @ Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, in the spring, and Sarah shall have a son."

rsv@Genesis:18:15 @ But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."

rsv@Genesis:18:16 @ Then the men set out from there, and they looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to set them on their way.

rsv@Genesis:18:17 @ The LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,

rsv@Genesis:18:18 @ seeing that Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by him?

rsv@Genesis:18:19 @ No, for I have chosen him, that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice; so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him."

rsv@Genesis:18:20 @ Then the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomor'rah is great and their sin is very grave,

rsv@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know."

rsv@Genesis:18:22 @ So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:18:23 @ Then Abraham drew near, and said, "Wilt thou indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked?

rsv@Genesis:18:24 @ Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou then destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it?

rsv@Genesis:18:25 @ Far be it from thee to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from thee! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

rsv@Genesis:18:26 @ And the LORD said, "If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake."

rsv@Genesis:18:27 @ Abraham answered, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.

rsv@Genesis:18:28 @ Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Wilt thou destroy the whole city for lack of five?" And he said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."

rsv@Genesis:18:29 @ Again he spoke to him, and said, "Suppose forty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of forty I will not do it."

rsv@Genesis:18:30 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."

rsv@Genesis:18:31 @ He said, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:18:32 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:18:33 @ And the LORD went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

rsv@Genesis:19:1 @ The two angels came to Sodom in the evening; and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed himself with his face to the earth,

rsv@Genesis:19:2 @ and said, "My lords, turn aside, I pray you, to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise up early and go on your way." They said, "No; we will spend the night in the street."

rsv@Genesis:19:3 @ But he urged them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

rsv@Genesis:19:4 @ But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house;

rsv@Genesis:19:5 @ and they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them."

rsv@Genesis:19:6 @ Lot went out of the door to the men, shut the door after him,

rsv@Genesis:19:7 @ and said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.

rsv@Genesis:19:8 @ Behold, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof."

rsv@Genesis:19:9 @ But they said, "Stand back!" And they said, "This fellow came to sojourn, and he would play the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them." Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

rsv@Genesis:19:10 @ But the men put forth their hands and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

rsv@Genesis:19:11 @ And they struck with blindness the men who were at the door of the house, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves groping for the door.

rsv@Genesis:19:12 @ Then the men said to Lot, "Have you any one else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or any one you have in the city, bring them out of the place;

rsv@Genesis:19:13 @ for we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:19:14 @ So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up, get out of this place; for the LORD is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.

rsv@Genesis:19:15 @ When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."

rsv@Genesis:19:16 @ But he lingered; so the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him forth and set him outside the city.

rsv@Genesis:19:17 @ And when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed."

rsv@Genesis:19:18 @ And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords;

rsv@Genesis:19:19 @ behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life; but I cannot flee to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die.

rsv@Genesis:19:20 @ Behold, yonder city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--is it not a little one?--and my life will be saved!"

rsv@Genesis:19:21 @ He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

rsv@Genesis:19:22 @ Make haste, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zo'ar.

rsv@Genesis:19:23 @ The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zo'ar.

rsv@Genesis:19:24 @ Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomor'rah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

rsv@Genesis:19:25 @ and he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.

rsv@Genesis:19:26 @ But Lot's wife behind him looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

rsv@Genesis:19:27 @ And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD;

rsv@Genesis:19:28 @ and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomor'rah and toward all the land of the valley, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.

rsv@Genesis:19:29 @ So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.

rsv@Genesis:19:30 @ Now Lot went up out of Zo'ar, and dwelt in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to dwell in Zo'ar; so he dwelt in a cave with his two daughters.

rsv@Genesis:19:31 @ And the first-born said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:19:32 @ Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father."

rsv@Genesis:19:33 @ So they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

rsv@Genesis:19:34 @ And on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father."

rsv@Genesis:19:35 @ So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

rsv@Genesis:19:36 @ Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

rsv@Genesis:19:37 @ The first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

rsv@Genesis:19:38 @ The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

rsv@Genesis:20:1 @ From there Abraham journeyed toward the territory of the Negeb, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.

rsv@Genesis:20:2 @ And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." And Abim'elech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

rsv@Genesis:20:3 @ But God came to Abim'elech in a dream by night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife."

rsv@Genesis:20:4 @ Now Abim'elech had not approached her; so he said, "Lord, wilt thou slay an innocent people?

rsv@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not himself say to me, `She is my sister'? And she herself said, `He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this."

rsv@Genesis:20:6 @ Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

rsv@Genesis:20:7 @ Now then restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours."

rsv@Genesis:20:8 @ So Abim'elech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told them all these things; and the men were very much afraid.

rsv@Genesis:20:9 @ Then Abim'elech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done."

rsv@Genesis:20:10 @ And Abim'elech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking of, that you did this thing?"

rsv@Genesis:20:11 @ Abraham said, "I did it because I thought, There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

rsv@Genesis:20:12 @ Besides she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

rsv@Genesis:20:13 @ And when God caused me to wander from my father's house, I said to her, `This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, say of me, He is my brother.'"

rsv@Genesis:20:14 @ Then Abim'elech took sheep and oxen, and male and female slaves, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah his wife to him.

rsv@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abim'elech said, "Behold, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you."

rsv@Genesis:20:16 @ To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; it is your vindication in the eyes of all who are with you; and before every one you are righted."

rsv@Genesis:20:17 @ Then Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abim'elech, and also healed his wife and female slaves so that they bore children.

rsv@Genesis:20:18 @ For the LORD had closed all the wombs of the house of Abim'elech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

rsv@Genesis:21:1 @ The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had promised.

rsv@Genesis:21:2 @ And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him.

rsv@Genesis:21:3 @ Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:21:4 @ And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

rsv@Genesis:21:5 @ Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

rsv@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; every one who hears will laugh over me."

rsv@Genesis:21:7 @ And she said, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would suckle children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age."

rsv@Genesis:21:8 @ And the child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

rsv@Genesis:21:9 @ But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:21:10 @ So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."

rsv@Genesis:21:11 @ And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son.

rsv@Genesis:21:12 @ But God said to Abraham, "Be not displeased because of the lad and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your descendants be named.

rsv@Genesis:21:13 @ And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring."

rsv@Genesis:21:14 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

rsv@Genesis:21:15 @ When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the bushes.

rsv@Genesis:21:16 @ Then she went, and sat down over against him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, "Let me not look upon the death of the child." And as she sat over against him, the child lifted up his voice and wept.

rsv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

rsv@Genesis:21:18 @ Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast with your hand; for I will make him a great nation."

rsv@Genesis:21:19 @ Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.

rsv@Genesis:21:20 @ And God was with the lad, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow.

rsv@Genesis:21:21 @ He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:21:22 @ At that time Abim'elech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, "God is with you in all that you do;

rsv@Genesis:21:23 @ now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but as I have dealt loyally with you, you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned."

rsv@Genesis:21:24 @ And Abraham said, "I will swear."

rsv@Genesis:21:25 @ When Abraham complained to Abim'elech about a well of water which Abim'elech's servants had seized,

rsv@Genesis:21:26 @ Abim'elech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today."

rsv@Genesis:21:27 @ So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abim'elech, and the two men made a covenant.

rsv@Genesis:21:28 @ Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart.

rsv@Genesis:21:29 @ And Abim'elech said to Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs which you have set apart?"

rsv@Genesis:21:30 @ He said, "These seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that you may be a witness for me that I dug this well."

rsv@Genesis:21:31 @ Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there both of them swore an oath.

rsv@Genesis:21:32 @ So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. Then Abim'elech and Phicol the commander of his army rose up and returned to the land of the Philistines.

rsv@Genesis:21:33 @ Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.

rsv@Genesis:21:34 @ And Abraham sojourned many days in the land of the Philistines.

rsv@Genesis:22:1 @ After these things God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I."

rsv@Genesis:22:2 @ He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori'ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

rsv@Genesis:22:3 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; and he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

rsv@Genesis:22:4 @ On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.

rsv@Genesis:22:5 @ Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the ass; I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."

rsv@Genesis:22:6 @ And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together.

rsv@Genesis:22:7 @ And Isaac said to his father Abraham, "My father!" And he said, "Here am I, my son." He said, "Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

rsv@Genesis:22:8 @ Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together.

rsv@Genesis:22:9 @ When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

rsv@Genesis:22:10 @ Then Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

rsv@Genesis:22:11 @ But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I."

rsv@Genesis:22:12 @ He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

rsv@Genesis:22:13 @ And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.

rsv@Genesis:22:14 @ So Abraham called the name of that place The LORD will provide; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided."

rsv@Genesis:22:15 @ And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven,

rsv@Genesis:22:16 @ and said, "By myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

rsv@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

rsv@Genesis:22:20 @ Now after these things it was told Abraham, "Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

rsv@Genesis:23:8 @ And he said to them, "If you are willing that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar,

rsv@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Mach-pe'lah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as a possession for a burying place."

rsv@Genesis:23:11 @ "No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead."

rsv@Genesis:23:12 @ Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.

rsv@Genesis:23:13 @ And he said to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, "But if you will, hear me; I will give the price of the field; accept it from me, that I may bury my dead there."

rsv@Genesis:23:15 @ "My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between you and me? Bury your dead."

rsv@Genesis:23:16 @ Abraham agreed with Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weights current among the merchants.

rsv@Genesis:23:17 @ So the field of Ephron in Mach-pe'lah, which was to the east of Mamre, the field with the cave which was in it and all the trees that were in the field, throughout its whole area, was made over

rsv@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

rsv@Genesis:23:19 @ After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Mach-pe'lah east of Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:23:20 @ The field and the cave that is in it were made over to Abraham as a possession for a burying place by the Hittites.

rsv@Genesis:24:1 @ Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

rsv@Genesis:24:2 @ And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his house, who had charge of all that he had, "Put your hand under my thigh,

rsv@Genesis:24:3 @ and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,

rsv@Genesis:24:4 @ but will go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac."

rsv@Genesis:24:5 @ The servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land; must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?"

rsv@Genesis:24:6 @ Abraham said to him, "See to it that you do not take my son back there.

rsv@Genesis:24:7 @ The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and swore to me, `To your descendants I will give this land,' he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

rsv@Genesis:24:8 @ But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine; only you must not take my son back there."

rsv@Genesis:24:9 @ So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

rsv@Genesis:24:10 @ Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, taking all sorts of choice gifts from his master; and he arose, and went to Mesopota'mia, to the city of Nahor.

rsv@Genesis:24:11 @ And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when women go out to draw water.

rsv@Genesis:24:12 @ And he said, "O LORD, God of my master Abraham, grant me success today, I pray thee, and show steadfast love to my master Abraham.

rsv@Genesis:24:13 @ Behold, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

rsv@Genesis:24:14 @ Let the maiden to whom I shall say, `Pray let down your jar that I may drink,' and who shall say, `Drink, and I will water your camels'--let her be the one whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac. By this I shall know that thou hast shown steadfast love to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:15 @ Before he had done speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethu'el the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water jar upon her shoulder.

rsv@Genesis:24:16 @ The maiden was very fair to look upon, a virgin, whom no man had known. She went down to the spring, and filled her jar, and came up.

rsv@Genesis:24:17 @ Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Pray give me a little water to drink from your jar."

rsv@Genesis:24:18 @ She said, "Drink, my lord"; and she quickly let down her jar upon her hand, and gave him a drink.

rsv@Genesis:24:19 @ When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw for your camels also, until they have done drinking."

rsv@Genesis:24:20 @ So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.

rsv@Genesis:24:21 @ The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the LORD had prospered his journey or not.

rsv@Genesis:24:22 @ When the camels had done drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half shekel, and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels,

rsv@Genesis:24:23 @ and said, "Tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?"

rsv@Genesis:24:24 @ She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethu'el the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."

rsv@Genesis:24:25 @ She added, "We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."

rsv@Genesis:24:26 @ The man bowed his head and worshiped the LORD,

rsv@Genesis:24:27 @ and said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me in the way to the house of my master's kinsmen."

rsv@Genesis:24:28 @ Then the maiden ran and told her mother's household about these things.

rsv@Genesis:24:29 @ Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

rsv@Genesis:24:30 @ When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, "Thus the man spoke to me," he went to the man; and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

rsv@Genesis:24:31 @ He said, "Come in, O blessed of the LORD; why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house and a place for the camels."

rsv@Genesis:24:32 @ So the man came into the house; and Laban ungirded the camels, and gave him straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

rsv@Genesis:24:33 @ Then food was set before him to eat; but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my errand." He said, "Speak on."

rsv@Genesis:24:34 @ So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.

rsv@Genesis:24:35 @ The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great; he has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and asses.

rsv@Genesis:24:36 @ And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has.

rsv@Genesis:24:37 @ My master made me swear, saying, `You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;

rsv@Genesis:24:38 @ but you shall go to my father's house and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.'

rsv@Genesis:24:39 @ I said to my master, `Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'

rsv@Genesis:24:40 @ But he said to me, `The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father's house;

rsv@Genesis:24:41 @ then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.'

rsv@Genesis:24:42 @ "I came today to the spring, and said, `O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper the way which I go,

rsv@Genesis:24:43 @ behold, I am standing by the spring of water; let the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I shall say, "Pray give me a little water from your jar to drink,"

rsv@Genesis:24:44 @ and who will say to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also," let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.'

rsv@Genesis:24:45 @ "Before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her water jar on her shoulder; and she went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, `Pray let me drink.'

rsv@Genesis:24:46 @ She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder, and said, `Drink, and I will give your camels drink also.' So I drank, and she gave the camels drink also.

rsv@Genesis:24:47 @ Then I asked her, `Whose daughter are you?' She said, The daughter of Bethu'el, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms.

rsv@Genesis:24:48 @ Then I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to take the daughter of my master's kinsman for his son.

rsv@Genesis:24:49 @ Now then, if you will deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand or to the left."

rsv@Genesis:24:50 @ Then Laban and Bethu'el answered, "The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you bad or good.

rsv@Genesis:24:51 @ Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has spoken."

rsv@Genesis:24:52 @ When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:24:53 @ And the servant brought forth jewelry of silver and of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments.

rsv@Genesis:24:54 @ And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, "Send me back to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:55 @ Her brother and her mother said, "Let the maiden remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go."

rsv@Genesis:24:56 @ But he said to them, "Do not delay me, since the LORD has prospered my way; let me go that I may go to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:57 @ They said, "We will call the maiden, and ask her."

rsv@Genesis:24:58 @ And they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

rsv@Genesis:24:59 @ So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men.

rsv@Genesis:24:60 @ And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, be the mother of thousands of ten thousands; and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them!"

rsv@Genesis:24:61 @ Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and rode upon the camels and followed the man; thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

rsv@Genesis:24:62 @ Now Isaac had come from Beer-la'hai-roi, and was dwelling in the Negeb.

rsv@Genesis:24:63 @ And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there were camels coming.

rsv@Genesis:24:64 @ And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel,

rsv@Genesis:24:65 @ and said to the servant, "Who is the man yonder, walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took her veil and covered herself.

rsv@Genesis:24:66 @ And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.

rsv@Genesis:24:67 @ Then Isaac brought her into the tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

rsv@Genesis:25:1 @ Abraham took another wife, whose name was Ketu'rah.

rsv@Genesis:25:2 @ She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Mid'ian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

rsv@Genesis:25:3 @ Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshu'rim, Letu'shim, and Le-um'mim.

rsv@Genesis:25:4 @ The sons of Mid'ian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abi'da, and Elda'ah. All these were the children of Ketu'rah.

rsv@Genesis:25:5 @ Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:25:6 @ But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country.

rsv@Genesis:25:7 @ These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, a hundred and seventy-five years.

rsv@Genesis:25:8 @ Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

rsv@Genesis:25:9 @ Isaac and Ish'mael his sons buried him in the cave of Mach-pe'lah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,

rsv@Genesis:25:10 @ the field which Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife.

rsv@Genesis:25:11 @ After the death of Abraham God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-la'hai-roi.

rsv@Genesis:25:12 @ These are the descendants of Ish'mael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham.

rsv@Genesis:25:13 @ These are the names of the sons of Ish'mael, named in the order of their birth: Neba'ioth, the first-born of Ish'mael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

rsv@Genesis:25:14 @ Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

rsv@Genesis:25:15 @ Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Ked'emah.

rsv@Genesis:25:16 @ These are the sons of Ish'mael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes.

rsv@Genesis:25:17 @ (These are the years of the life of Ish'mael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his kindred.)

rsv@Genesis:25:18 @ They dwelt from Hav'ilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he settled over against all his people.

rsv@Genesis:25:19 @ These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac,

rsv@Genesis:25:20 @ and Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethu'el the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.

rsv@Genesis:25:21 @ And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

rsv@Genesis:25:22 @ The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is thus, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:25:23 @ And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger."

rsv@Genesis:25:24 @ When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

rsv@Genesis:25:25 @ The first came forth red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they called his name Esau.

rsv@Genesis:25:26 @ Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand had taken hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

rsv@Genesis:25:27 @ When the boys grew up, Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.

rsv@Genesis:25:28 @ Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

rsv@Genesis:25:29 @ Once when Jacob was boiling pottage, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

rsv@Genesis:25:30 @ And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.)

rsv@Genesis:25:31 @ Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."

rsv@Genesis:25:32 @ Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?"

rsv@Genesis:25:33 @ Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

rsv@Genesis:25:34 @ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

rsv@Genesis:26:1 @ Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abim'elech king of the Philistines.

rsv@Genesis:26:2 @ And the LORD appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you.

rsv@Genesis:26:3 @ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will fulfil the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

rsv@Genesis:26:4 @ I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves:

rsv@Genesis:26:5 @ because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

rsv@Genesis:26:6 @ So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

rsv@Genesis:26:7 @ When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister"; for he feared to say, "My wife," thinking, "lest the men of the place should kill me for the sake of Rebekah"; because she was fair to look upon.

rsv@Genesis:26:8 @ When he had been there a long time, Abim'elech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac fondling Rebekah his wife.

rsv@Genesis:26:9 @ So Abim'elech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, she is your wife; how then could you say, `She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, `Lest I die because of her.'"

rsv@Genesis:26:10 @ Abim'elech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us."

rsv@Genesis:26:11 @ So Abim'elech warned all the people, saying, "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall be put to death."

rsv@Genesis:26:12 @ And Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him,

rsv@Genesis:26:13 @ and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy.

rsv@Genesis:26:14 @ He had possessions of flocks and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him.

rsv@Genesis:26:15 @ (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.)

rsv@Genesis:26:16 @ And Abim'elech said to Isaac, "Go away from us; for you are much mightier than we."

rsv@Genesis:26:17 @ So Isaac departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there.

rsv@Genesis:26:18 @ And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

rsv@Genesis:26:19 @ But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water,

rsv@Genesis:26:20 @ the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

rsv@Genesis:26:21 @ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he called its name Sitnah.

rsv@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and over that they did not quarrel; so he called its name Reho'both, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

rsv@Genesis:26:23 @ From there he went up to Beer-sheba.

rsv@Genesis:26:24 @ And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."

rsv@Genesis:26:25 @ So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.

rsv@Genesis:26:26 @ Then Abim'elech went to him from Gerar with Ahuz'zath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

rsv@Genesis:26:27 @ Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?"

rsv@Genesis:26:28 @ They said, "We see plainly that the LORD is with you; so we say, let there be an oath between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,

rsv@Genesis:26:29 @ that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:26:30 @ So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

rsv@Genesis:26:31 @ In the morning they rose early and took oath with one another; and Isaac set them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.

rsv@Genesis:26:32 @ That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."

rsv@Genesis:26:33 @ He called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

rsv@Genesis:26:34 @ When Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Be-e'ri the Hittite, and Bas'emath the daughter of Elon the Hittite;

rsv@Genesis:26:35 @ and they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah.

rsv@Genesis:27:1 @ When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son, and said to him, "My son"; and he answered, "Here I am."

rsv@Genesis:27:2 @ He said, "Behold, I am old; I do not know the day of my death.

rsv@Genesis:27:3 @ Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me,

rsv@Genesis:27:4 @ and prepare for me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat; that I may bless you before I die."

rsv@Genesis:27:5 @ Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it,

rsv@Genesis:27:6 @ Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "I heard your father speak to your brother Esau,

rsv@Genesis:27:7 @ `Bring me game, and prepare for me savory food, that I may eat it, and bless you before the LORD before I die.'

rsv@Genesis:27:8 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my word as I command you.

rsv@Genesis:27:9 @ Go to the flock, and fetch me two good kids, that I may prepare from them savory food for your father, such as he loves;

rsv@Genesis:27:10 @ and you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies."

rsv@Genesis:27:11 @ But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

rsv@Genesis:27:12 @ Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him, and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing."

rsv@Genesis:27:13 @ His mother said to him, "Upon me be your curse, my son; only obey my word, and go, fetch them to me."

rsv@Genesis:27:14 @ So he went and took them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared savory food, such as his father loved.

rsv@Genesis:27:15 @ Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;

rsv@Genesis:27:16 @ and the skins of the kids she put upon his hands and upon the smooth part of his neck;

rsv@Genesis:27:17 @ and she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

rsv@Genesis:27:18 @ So he went in to his father, and said, "My father"; and he said, "Here I am; who are you, my son?"

rsv@Genesis:27:19 @ Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your first-born. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that you may bless me."

rsv@Genesis:27:20 @ But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "Because the LORD your God granted me success."

rsv@Genesis:27:21 @ Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not."

rsv@Genesis:27:22 @ So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."

rsv@Genesis:27:23 @ And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

rsv@Genesis:27:24 @ He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He answered, "I am."

rsv@Genesis:27:25 @ Then he said, "Bring it to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you." So he brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

rsv@Genesis:27:26 @ Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son."

rsv@Genesis:27:27 @ So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, "See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed!

rsv@Genesis:27:28 @ May God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine.

rsv@Genesis:27:29 @ Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be every one who curses you, and blessed be every one who blesses you!"

rsv@Genesis:27:30 @ As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

rsv@Genesis:27:31 @ He also prepared savory food, and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me."

rsv@Genesis:27:32 @ His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your son, your first-born, Esau."

rsv@Genesis:27:33 @ Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him?--yes, and he shall be blessed."

rsv@Genesis:27:34 @ When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!"

rsv@Genesis:27:35 @ But he said, "Your brother came with guile, and he has taken away your blessing."

rsv@Genesis:27:36 @ Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright; and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"

rsv@Genesis:27:37 @ Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?"

rsv@Genesis:27:38 @ Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father." And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

rsv@Genesis:27:39 @ Then Isaac his father answered him: "Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, and away from the dew of heaven on high.

rsv@Genesis:27:40 @ By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you break loose you shall break his yoke from your neck."

rsv@Genesis:27:41 @ Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

rsv@Genesis:27:42 @ But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah; so she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself by planning to kill you.

rsv@Genesis:27:43 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee to Laban my brother in Haran,

rsv@Genesis:27:44 @ and stay with him a while, until your brother's fury turns away;

rsv@Genesis:27:45 @ until your brother's anger turns away, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send, and fetch you from there. Why should I be bereft of you both in one day?"

rsv@Genesis:27:46 @ Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women such as these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?"

rsv@Genesis:28:1 @ Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women.

rsv@Genesis:28:2 @ Arise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethu'el your mother's father; and take as wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

rsv@Genesis:28:4 @ May he give the blessing of Abraham to you and to your descendants with you, that you may take possession of the land of your sojournings which God gave to Abraham!"

rsv@Genesis:28:5 @ Thus Isaac sent Jacob away; and he went to Paddan-aram to Laban, the son of Bethu'el the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

rsv@Genesis:28:6 @ Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women,"

rsv@Genesis:28:7 @ and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram.

rsv@Genesis:28:8 @ So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father,

rsv@Genesis:28:9 @ Esau went to Ish'mael and took to wife, besides the wives he had, Ma'halath the daughter of Ish'mael Abraham's son, the sister of Neba'ioth.

rsv@Genesis:28:10 @ Jacob left Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.

rsv@Genesis:28:11 @ And he came to a certain place, and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep.

rsv@Genesis:28:12 @ And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!

rsv@Genesis:28:13 @ And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, "I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your descendants;

rsv@Genesis:28:14 @ and your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth bless themselves.

rsv@Genesis:28:15 @ Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done that of which I have spoken to you."

rsv@Genesis:28:16 @ Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place; and I did not know it."

rsv@Genesis:28:17 @ And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

rsv@Genesis:28:18 @ So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone which he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it.

rsv@Genesis:28:19 @ He called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of the city was Luz at the first.

rsv@Genesis:28:20 @ Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,

rsv@Genesis:28:21 @ so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God,

rsv@Genesis:28:22 @ and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou givest me I will give the tenth to thee."

rsv@Genesis:29:1 @ Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.

rsv@Genesis:29:2 @ As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheep lying beside it; for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well's mouth was large,

rsv@Genesis:29:3 @ and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place upon the mouth of the well.

rsv@Genesis:29:4 @ Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where do you come from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

rsv@Genesis:29:5 @ He said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

rsv@Genesis:29:6 @ He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!"

rsv@Genesis:29:7 @ He said, "Behold, it is still high day, it is not time for the animals to be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, pasture them."

rsv@Genesis:29:8 @ But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."

rsv@Genesis:29:9 @ While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.

rsv@Genesis:29:10 @ Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

rsv@Genesis:29:11 @ Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept aloud.

rsv@Genesis:29:12 @ And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.

rsv@Genesis:29:13 @ When Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things,

rsv@Genesis:29:14 @ and Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh!" And he stayed with him a month.

rsv@Genesis:29:15 @ Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"

rsv@Genesis:29:16 @ Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

rsv@Genesis:29:17 @ Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and lovely.

rsv@Genesis:29:18 @ Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."

rsv@Genesis:29:19 @ Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me."

rsv@Genesis:29:20 @ So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.

rsv@Genesis:29:21 @ Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed."

rsv@Genesis:29:22 @ So Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

rsv@Genesis:29:23 @ But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.

rsv@Genesis:29:24 @ (Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid.)

rsv@Genesis:29:25 @ And in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

rsv@Genesis:29:26 @ Laban said, "It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.

rsv@Genesis:29:27 @ Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years."

rsv@Genesis:29:28 @ Jacob did so, and completed her week; then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.

rsv@Genesis:29:29 @ (Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her maid.)

rsv@Genesis:29:30 @ So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.

rsv@Genesis:29:31 @ When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

rsv@Genesis:29:32 @ And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."

rsv@Genesis:29:33 @ She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also"; and she called his name Simeon.

rsv@Genesis:29:34 @ Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons"; therefore his name was called Levi.

rsv@Genesis:29:35 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD"; therefore she called his name Judah; then she ceased bearing.

rsv@Genesis:30:1 @ When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister; and she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I shall die!"

rsv@Genesis:30:2 @ Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"

rsv@Genesis:30:3 @ Then she said, "Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, that she may bear upon my knees, and even I may have children through her."

rsv@Genesis:30:4 @ So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife; and Jacob went in to her.

rsv@Genesis:30:5 @ And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.

rsv@Genesis:30:6 @ Then Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son"; therefore she called his name Daniel.

rsv@Genesis:30:7 @ Rachel's maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

rsv@Genesis:30:8 @ Then Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed"; so she called his name Naph'tali.

rsv@Genesis:30:9 @ When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

rsv@Genesis:30:10 @ Then Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.

rsv@Genesis:30:11 @ And Leah said, "Good fortune!" so she called his name Gad.

rsv@Genesis:30:12 @ Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.

rsv@Genesis:30:13 @ And Leah said, "Happy am I! For the women will call me happy"; so she called his name Asher.

rsv@Genesis:30:14 @ In the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Give me, I pray, some of your son's mandrakes."

rsv@Genesis:30:15 @ But she said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes also?" Rachel said, "Then he may lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."

rsv@Genesis:30:16 @ When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me; for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he lay with her that night.

rsv@Genesis:30:17 @ And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.

rsv@Genesis:30:18 @ Leah said, "God has given me my hire because I gave my maid to my husband"; so she called his name Is'sachar.

rsv@Genesis:30:19 @ And Leah conceived again, and she bore Jacob a sixth son.

rsv@Genesis:30:20 @ Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry; now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons"; so she called his name Zeb'ulun.

rsv@Genesis:30:21 @ Afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

rsv@Genesis:30:22 @ Then God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her and opened her womb.

rsv@Genesis:30:23 @ She conceived and bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach";

rsv@Genesis:30:24 @ and she called his name Joseph, saying, "May the LORD add to me another son!"

rsv@Genesis:30:25 @ When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own home and country.

rsv@Genesis:30:26 @ Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the service which I have given you."

rsv@Genesis:30:27 @ But Laban said to him, "If you will allow me to say so, I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you;

rsv@Genesis:30:28 @ name your wages, and I will give it."

rsv@Genesis:30:29 @ Jacob said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you, and how your cattle have fared with me.

rsv@Genesis:30:30 @ For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly; and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now when shall I provide for my own household also?"

rsv@Genesis:30:31 @ He said, "What shall I give you?" Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything; if you will do this for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it:

rsv@Genesis:30:32 @ let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.

rsv@Genesis:30:33 @ So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, shall be counted stolen."

rsv@Genesis:30:34 @ Laban said, "Good! Let it be as you have said."

rsv@Genesis:30:35 @ But that day Laban removed the he-goats that were striped and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in charge of his sons;

rsv@Genesis:30:36 @ and he set a distance of three days' journey between himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.

rsv@Genesis:30:37 @ Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the rods.

rsv@Genesis:30:38 @ He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the runnels, that is, the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,

rsv@Genesis:30:39 @ the flocks bred in front of the rods and so the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted.

rsv@Genesis:30:40 @ And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own droves apart, and did not put them with Laban's flock.

rsv@Genesis:30:41 @ Whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding Jacob laid the rods in the runnels before the eyes of the flock, that they might breed among the rods,

rsv@Genesis:30:42 @ but for the feebler of the flock he did not lay them there; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

rsv@Genesis:30:43 @ Thus the man grew exceedingly rich, and had large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and asses.

rsv@Genesis:31:1 @ Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, "Jacob has taken all that was our father's; and from what was our father's he has gained all this wealth."

rsv@Genesis:31:2 @ And Jacob saw that Laban did not regard him with favor as before.

rsv@Genesis:31:3 @ Then the LORD said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you."

rsv@Genesis:31:4 @ So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was,

rsv@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, "I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.

rsv@Genesis:31:6 @ You know that I have served your father with all my strength;

rsv@Genesis:31:7 @ yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not permit him to harm me.

rsv@Genesis:31:8 @ If he said, `The spotted shall be your wages,' then all the flock bore spotted; and if he said, `The striped shall be your wages,' then all the flock bore striped.

rsv@Genesis:31:9 @ Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

rsv@Genesis:31:10 @ In the mating season of the flock I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream that the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were striped, spotted, and mottled.

rsv@Genesis:31:11 @ Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, `Jacob,' and I said, `Here I am!'

rsv@Genesis:31:12 @ And he said, `Lift up your eyes and see, all the goats that leap upon the flock are striped, spotted, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

rsv@Genesis:31:13 @ I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go forth from this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

rsv@Genesis:31:14 @ Then Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there any portion or inheritance left to us in our father's house?

rsv@Genesis:31:15 @ Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has been using up the money given for us.

rsv@Genesis:31:16 @ All the property which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children; now then, whatever God has said to you, do."

rsv@Genesis:31:17 @ So Jacob arose, and set his sons and his wives on camels;

rsv@Genesis:31:18 @ and he drove away all his cattle, all his livestock which he had gained, the cattle in his possession which he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:31:19 @ Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father's household gods.

rsv@Genesis:31:20 @ And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee.

rsv@Genesis:31:21 @ He fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the Euphra'tes, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.

rsv@Genesis:31:22 @ When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,

rsv@Genesis:31:23 @ he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him for seven days and followed close after him into the hill country of Gilead.

rsv@Genesis:31:24 @ But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night, and said to him, "Take heed that you say not a word to Jacob, either good or bad."

rsv@Genesis:31:25 @ And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen encamped in the hill country of Gilead.

rsv@Genesis:31:26 @ And Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done, that you have cheated me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?

rsv@Genesis:31:27 @ Why did you flee secretly, and cheat me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with mirth and songs, with tambourine and lyre?

rsv@Genesis:31:28 @ And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? Now you have done foolishly.

rsv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, `Take heed that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

rsv@Genesis:31:30 @ And now you have gone away because you longed greatly for your father's house, but why did you steal my gods?"

rsv@Genesis:31:31 @ Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.

rsv@Genesis:31:32 @ Any one with whom you find your gods shall not live. In the presence of our kinsmen point out what I have that is yours, and take it." Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

rsv@Genesis:31:33 @ So Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maidservants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered Rachel's.

rsv@Genesis:31:34 @ Now Rachel had taken the household gods and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. Laban felt all about the tent, but did not find them.

rsv@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, "Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me." So he searched, but did not find the household gods.

rsv@Genesis:31:36 @ Then Jacob became angry, and upbraided Laban; Jacob said to Laban, "What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?

rsv@Genesis:31:37 @ Although you have felt through all my goods, what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my kinsmen and your kinsmen, that they may decide between us two.

rsv@Genesis:31:38 @ These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your she-goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks.

rsv@Genesis:31:39 @ That which was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself; of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

rsv@Genesis:31:40 @ Thus I was; by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

rsv@Genesis:31:41 @ These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

rsv@Genesis:31:42 @ If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

rsv@Genesis:31:43 @ Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

rsv@Genesis:31:44 @ Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I; and let it be a witness between you and me."

rsv@Genesis:31:45 @ So Jacob took a stone, and set it up as a pillar.

rsv@Genesis:31:46 @ And Jacob said to his kinsmen, "Gather stones," and they took stones, and made a heap; and they ate there by the heap.

rsv@Genesis:31:47 @ Laban called it Je'gar-sahadu'tha: but Jacob called it Galeed.

rsv@Genesis:31:48 @ Laban said, "This heap is a witness between you and me today." Therefore he named it Galeed,

rsv@Genesis:31:49 @ and the pillar Mizpah, for he said, "The LORD watch between you and me, when we are absent one from the other.

rsv@Genesis:31:50 @ If you ill-treat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us, remember, God is witness between you and me."

rsv@Genesis:31:51 @ Then Laban said to Jacob, "See this heap and the pillar, which I have set between you and me.

rsv@Genesis:31:52 @ This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

rsv@Genesis:31:53 @ The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." So Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac,

rsv@Genesis:31:54 @ and Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and called his kinsmen to eat bread; and they ate bread and tarried all night on the mountain.

rsv@Genesis:31:55 @ Early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them; then he departed and returned home.

rsv@Genesis:32:1 @ Jacob went on his way and the angels of God met him;

rsv@Genesis:32:2 @ and when Jacob saw them he said, "This is God's army!" So he called the name of that place Mahana'im.

rsv@Genesis:32:3 @ And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Se'ir, the country of Edom,

rsv@Genesis:32:4 @ instructing them, "Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob, `I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now;

rsv@Genesis:32:5 @ and I have oxen, asses, flocks, menservants, and maidservants; and I have sent to tell my lord, in order that I may find favor in your sight.'"

rsv@Genesis:32:6 @ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him."

rsv@Genesis:32:7 @ Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies,

rsv@Genesis:32:8 @ thinking, "If Esau comes to the one company and destroys it, then the company which is left will escape."

rsv@Genesis:32:9 @ And Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who didst say to me, `Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will do you good,'

rsv@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness which thou hast shown to thy servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

rsv@Genesis:32:11 @ Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, lest he come and slay us all, the mothers with the children.

rsv@Genesis:32:12 @ But thou didst say, `I will do you good, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'"

rsv@Genesis:32:13 @ So he lodged there that night, and took from what he had with him a present for his brother Esau,

rsv@Genesis:32:14 @ two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

rsv@Genesis:32:15 @ thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten he-asses.

rsv@Genesis:32:16 @ These he delivered into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on before me, and put a space between drove and drove."

rsv@Genesis:32:17 @ He instructed the foremost, "When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, `To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these before you?'

rsv@Genesis:32:18 @ then you shall say, `They belong to your servant Jacob; they are a present sent to my lord Esau; and moreover he is behind us.'"

rsv@Genesis:32:19 @ He likewise instructed the second and the third and all who followed the droves, "You shall say the same thing to Esau when you meet him,

rsv@Genesis:32:20 @ and you shall say, `Moreover your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For he thought, "I may appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterwards I shall see his face; perhaps he will accept me."

rsv@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present passed on before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

rsv@Genesis:32:22 @ The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

rsv@Genesis:32:23 @ He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had.

rsv@Genesis:32:24 @ And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.

rsv@Genesis:32:25 @ When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and Jacob's thigh was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.

rsv@Genesis:32:26 @ Then he said, "Let me go, for the day is breaking." But Jacob said, "I will not let you go, unless you bless me."

rsv@Genesis:32:27 @ And he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob."

rsv@Genesis:32:28 @ Then he said, "Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed."

rsv@Genesis:32:29 @ Then Jacob asked him, "Tell me, I pray, your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him.

rsv@Genesis:32:30 @ So Jacob called the name of the place Peni'el, saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved."

rsv@Genesis:32:31 @ The sun rose upon him as he passed Penu'el, limping because of his thigh.

rsv@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew of the hip.

rsv@Genesis:33:1 @ And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.

rsv@Genesis:33:2 @ And he put the maids with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.

rsv@Genesis:33:3 @ He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

rsv@Genesis:33:4 @ But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.

rsv@Genesis:33:5 @ And when Esau raised his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, "Who are these with you?" Jacob said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

rsv@Genesis:33:6 @ Then the maids drew near, they and their children, and bowed down;

rsv@Genesis:38:11 @ Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "Remain a widow in your father's house, till Shelah my son grows up"--for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.

rsv@Genesis:38:12 @ In course of time the wife of Judah, Shua's daughter, died; and when Judah was comforted, he went up to Timnah to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

rsv@Genesis:38:16 @ He went over to her at the road side, and said, "Come, let me come in to you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

rsv@Genesis:39:5 @ From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had, in house and field.

rsv@Genesis:39:6 @ So he left all that he had in Joseph's charge; and having him he had no concern for anything but the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and good-looking.

rsv@Genesis:39:7 @ And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, "Lie with me."

rsv@Genesis:39:8 @ But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Lo, having me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my hand;

rsv@Genesis:39:9 @ he is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept back anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife; how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"

rsv@Genesis:39:10 @ And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie with her or to be with her.

rsv@Genesis:39:11 @ But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,

rsv@Genesis:39:12 @ she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me." But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and got out of the house.

rsv@Genesis:39:13 @ And when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled out of the house,

rsv@Genesis:39:14 @ she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to insult us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice;

rsv@Genesis:39:15 @ and when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled and got out of the house."

rsv@Genesis:39:16 @ Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home,

rsv@Genesis:39:17 @ and she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to insult me;

rsv@Genesis:39:18 @ but as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out of the house."

rsv@Genesis:39:19 @ When his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, "This is the way your servant treated me," his anger was kindled.

rsv@Genesis:39:20 @ And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.

rsv@Genesis:39:21 @ But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

rsv@Genesis:39:22 @ And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatever was done there, he was the doer of it;

rsv@Genesis:39:23 @ the keeper of the prison paid no heed to anything that was in Joseph's care, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.

rsv@Genesis:40:1 @ Some time after this, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:40:2 @ And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker,

rsv@Genesis:40:3 @ and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.

rsv@Genesis:40:4 @ The captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he waited on them; and they continued for some time in custody.

rsv@Genesis:40:5 @ And one night they both dreamed--the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison--each his own dream, and each dream with its own meaning.

rsv@Genesis:40:6 @ When Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, they were troubled.

rsv@Genesis:40:7 @ So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, "Why are your faces downcast today?"

rsv@Genesis:40:8 @ They said to him, "We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them." And Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, I pray you."

rsv@Genesis:40:9 @ So the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream there was a vine before me,

rsv@Genesis:40:10 @ and on the vine there were three branches; as soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.

rsv@Genesis:40:11 @ Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand."

rsv@Genesis:40:12 @ Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days;

rsv@Genesis:40:13 @ within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his butler.

rsv@Genesis:40:14 @ But remember me, when it is well with you, and do me the kindness, I pray you, to make mention of me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.

rsv@Genesis:40:15 @ For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."

rsv@Genesis:40:16 @ When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,

rsv@Genesis:40:17 @ and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head."

rsv@Genesis:40:18 @ And Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

rsv@Genesis:40:19 @ within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head--from you!--and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat the flesh from you."

rsv@Genesis:40:20 @ On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

rsv@Genesis:40:21 @ He restored the chief butler to his butlership, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand;

rsv@Genesis:40:22 @ but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

rsv@Genesis:40:23 @ Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

rsv@Genesis:41:1 @ After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,

rsv@Genesis:41:2 @ and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows sleek and fat, and they fed in the reed grass.

rsv@Genesis:41:3 @ And behold, seven other cows, gaunt and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.

rsv@Genesis:41:4 @ And the gaunt and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. And Pharaoh awoke.

rsv@Genesis:41:5 @ And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.

rsv@Genesis:41:6 @ And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.

rsv@Genesis:41:7 @ And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

rsv@Genesis:41:8 @ So in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men; and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret it to Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:41:9 @ Then the chief butler said to Pharaoh, "I remember my faults today.

rsv@Genesis:41:10 @ When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,

rsv@Genesis:41:11 @ we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.

rsv@Genesis:41:12 @ A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard; and when we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.

rsv@Genesis:41:13 @ And as he interpreted to us, so it came to pass; I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged."

rsv@Genesis:41:14 @ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:41:15 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; and I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."

rsv@Genesis:41:16 @ Joseph answered Pharaoh, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer."

rsv@Genesis:41:17 @ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile;

rsv@Genesis:41:18 @ and seven cows, fat and sleek, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass;

rsv@Genesis:41:19 @ and seven other cows came up after them, poor and very gaunt and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:20 @ And the thin and gaunt cows ate up the first seven fat cows,

rsv@Genesis:41:21 @ but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as gaunt as at the beginning. Then I awoke.

rsv@Genesis:41:22 @ I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good;

rsv@Genesis:41:23 @ and seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,

rsv@Genesis:41:24 @ and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

rsv@Genesis:41:25 @ Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

rsv@Genesis:41:26 @ The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one.

rsv@Genesis:41:27 @ The seven lean and gaunt cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also seven years of famine.

rsv@Genesis:41:28 @ It is as I told Pharaoh, God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

rsv@Genesis:41:29 @ There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,

rsv@Genesis:41:30 @ but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; the famine will consume the land,

rsv@Genesis:41:31 @ and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of that famine which will follow, for it will be very grievous.

rsv@Genesis:41:32 @ And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

rsv@Genesis:41:33 @ Now therefore let Pharaoh select a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:34 @ Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven plenteous years.

rsv@Genesis:41:35 @ And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and lay up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

rsv@Genesis:41:36 @ That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine which are to befall the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine."

rsv@Genesis:41:37 @ This proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

rsv@Genesis:41:38 @ And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?"

rsv@Genesis:41:39 @ So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discreet and wise as you are;

rsv@Genesis:41:40 @ you shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command; only as regards the throne will I be greater than you."

rsv@Genesis:41:41 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."

rsv@Genesis:41:42 @ Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in garments of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

rsv@Genesis:41:43 @ and he made him to ride in his second chariot; and they cried before him, "Bow the knee!" Thus he set him over all the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:44 @ Moreover Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."

rsv@Genesis:41:45 @ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaph'enath-pane'ah; and he gave him in marriage As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:46 @ Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:47 @ During the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly,

rsv@Genesis:41:48 @ and he gathered up all the food of the seven years when there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and stored up food in the cities; he stored up in every city the food from the fields around it.

rsv@Genesis:41:49 @ And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured.

rsv@Genesis:41:50 @ Before the year of famine came, Joseph had two sons, whom As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On, bore to him.

rsv@Genesis:41:51 @ Joseph called the name of the first-born Manas'seh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father's house."

rsv@Genesis:41:52 @ The name of the second he called E'phraim, "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

rsv@Genesis:41:53 @ The seven years of plenty that prevailed in the land of Egypt came to an end;

rsv@Genesis:41:54 @ and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

rsv@Genesis:41:55 @ When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do."

rsv@Genesis:41:56 @ So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:57 @ Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:42:1 @ When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"

rsv@Genesis:42:2 @ And he said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live, and not die."

rsv@Genesis:42:3 @ So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:42:4 @ But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might befall him.

rsv@Genesis:42:5 @ Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:42:6 @ Now Joseph was governor over the land; he it was who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came, and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground.

rsv@Genesis:42:7 @ Joseph saw his brothers, and knew them, but he treated them like strangers and spoke roughly to them. "Where do you come from?" he said. They said, "From the land of Canaan, to buy food."

rsv@Genesis:42:8 @ Thus Joseph knew his brothers, but they did not know him.

rsv@Genesis:42:9 @ And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed of them; and he said to them, "You are spies, you have come to see the weakness of the land."

rsv@Genesis:42:10 @ They said to him, "No, my lord, but to buy food have your servants come.

rsv@Genesis:42:11 @ We are all sons of one man, we are honest men, your servants are not spies."

rsv@Genesis:42:12 @ He said to them, "No, it is the weakness of the land that you have come to see."

rsv@Genesis:42:13 @ And they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more."

rsv@Genesis:42:14 @ But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, you are spies.

rsv@Genesis:42:15 @ By this you shall be tested: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here.

rsv@Genesis:42:16 @ Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you remain in prison, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you; or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."

rsv@Genesis:42:17 @ And he put them all together in prison for three days.

rsv@Genesis:42:18 @ On the third day Joseph said to them, "Do this and you will live, for I fear God:

rsv@Genesis:42:19 @ if you are honest men, let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison, and let the rest go and carry grain for the famine of your households,

rsv@Genesis:42:20 @ and bring your youngest brother to me; so your words will be verified, and you shall not die." And they did so.

rsv@Genesis:42:21 @ Then they said to one another, "In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he besought us and we would not listen; therefore is this distress come upon us."

rsv@Genesis:42:22 @ And Reuben answered them, "Did I not tell you not to sin against the lad? But you would not listen. So now there comes a reckoning for his blood."

rsv@Genesis:42:23 @ They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.

rsv@Genesis:42:24 @ Then he turned away from them and wept; and he returned to them and spoke to them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

rsv@Genesis:42:25 @ And Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, and to replace every man's money in his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. This was done for them.

rsv@Genesis:42:26 @ Then they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed.

rsv@Genesis:42:27 @ And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender at the lodging place, he saw his money in the mouth of his sack;

rsv@Genesis:42:28 @ and he said to his brothers, "My money has been put back; here it is in the mouth of my sack!" At this their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"

rsv@Genesis:42:29 @ When they came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had befallen them, saying,

rsv@Genesis:42:30 @ "The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us to be spies of the land.

rsv@Genesis:42:31 @ But we said to him, `We are honest men, we are not spies;

rsv@Genesis:42:32 @ we are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'

rsv@Genesis:42:33 @ Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, `By this I shall know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your households, and go your way.

rsv@Genesis:42:34 @ Bring your youngest brother to me; then I shall know that you are not spies but honest men, and I will deliver to you your brother, and you shall trade in the land.'"

rsv@Genesis:42:35 @ As they emptied their sacks, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed.

rsv@Genesis:42:36 @ And Jacob their father said to them, "You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and now you would take Benjamin; all this has come upon me."

rsv@Genesis:42:37 @ Then Reuben said to his father, "Slay my two sons if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you."

rsv@Genesis:42:38 @ But he said, "My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm should befall him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol."

rsv@Genesis:43:1 @ Now the famine was severe in the land.

rsv@Genesis:43:2 @ And when they had eaten the grain which they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, "Go again, buy us a little food."

rsv@Genesis:43:3 @ But Judah said to him, "The man solemnly warned us, saying, `You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.'

rsv@Genesis:43:4 @ If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food;

rsv@Genesis:43:5 @ but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, `You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.'"

rsv@Genesis:43:6 @ Israel said, "Why did you treat me so ill as to tell the man that you had another brother?"

rsv@Genesis:43:7 @ They replied, "The man questioned us carefully about ourselves and our kindred, saying, `Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' What we told him was in answer to these questions; could we in any way know that he would say, `Bring your brother down'?"

rsv@Genesis:43:8 @ And Judah said to Israel his father, "Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.

rsv@Genesis:43:9 @ I will be surety for him; of my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame for ever;

rsv@Genesis:43:10 @ for if we had not delayed, we would now have returned twice."

rsv@Genesis:43:11 @ Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry down to the man a present, a little balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds.

rsv@Genesis:43:12 @ Take double the money with you; carry back with you the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight.

rsv@Genesis:43:13 @ Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man;

rsv@Genesis:43:14 @ may God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, that he may send back your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."

rsv@Genesis:43:15 @ So the men took the present, and they took double the money with them, and Benjamin; and they arose and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

rsv@Genesis:43:16 @ When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, "Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and make ready, for the men are to dine with me at noon."

rsv@Genesis:43:17 @ The man did as Joseph bade him, and brought the men to Joseph's house.

rsv@Genesis:43:18 @ And the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, "It is because of the money, which was replaced in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us, to make slaves of us and seize our asses."

rsv@Genesis:43:19 @ So they went up to the steward of Joseph's house, and spoke with him at the door of the house,

rsv@Genesis:43:20 @ and said, "Oh, my lord, we came down the first time to buy food;

rsv@Genesis:43:21 @ and when we came to the lodging place we opened our sacks, and there was every man's money in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; so we have brought it again with us,

rsv@Genesis:43:22 @ and we have brought other money down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks."

rsv@Genesis:43:23 @ He replied, "Rest assured, do not be afraid; your God and the God of your father must have put treasure in your sacks for you; I received your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

rsv@Genesis:43:24 @ And when the man had brought the men into Joseph's house, and given them water, and they had washed their feet, and when he had given their asses provender,

rsv@Genesis:43:25 @ they made ready the present for Joseph's coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.

rsv@Genesis:43:26 @ When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which they had with them, and bowed down to him to the ground.

rsv@Genesis:43:27 @ And he inquired about their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"

rsv@Genesis:43:28 @ They said, "Your servant our father is well, he is still alive." And they bowed their heads and made obeisance.

rsv@Genesis:43:29 @ And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God be gracious to you, my son!"

rsv@Genesis:43:30 @ Then Joseph made haste, for his heart yearned for his brother, and he sought a place to weep. And he entered his chamber and wept there.

rsv@Genesis:43:31 @ Then he washed his face and came out; and controlling himself he said, "Let food be served."

rsv@Genesis:43:32 @ They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

rsv@Genesis:43:33 @ And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked at one another in amazement.

rsv@Genesis:43:34 @ Portions were taken to them from Joseph's table, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.

rsv@Genesis:44:1 @ Then he commanded the steward of his house, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack,

rsv@Genesis:44:2 @ and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his money for the grain." And he did as Joseph told him.

rsv@Genesis:44:3 @ As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their asses.

rsv@Genesis:44:4 @ When they had gone but a short distance from the city, Joseph said to his steward, "Up, follow after the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, `Why have you returned evil for good? Why have you stolen my silver cup?

rsv@Genesis:44:5 @ Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he divines? You have done wrong in so doing.'"

rsv@Genesis:44:6 @ When he overtook them, he spoke to them these words.

rsv@Genesis:44:7 @ They said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

rsv@Genesis:44:8 @ Behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan; how then should we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?

rsv@Genesis:44:9 @ With whomever of your servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."

rsv@Genesis:44:10 @ He said, "Let it be as you say: he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and the rest of you shall be blameless."

rsv@Genesis:44:11 @ Then every man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and every man opened his sack.

rsv@Genesis:44:12 @ And he searched, beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

rsv@Genesis:44:13 @ Then they rent their clothes, and every man loaded his ass, and they returned to the city.

rsv@Genesis:44:14 @ When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there; and they fell before him to the ground.

rsv@Genesis:44:15 @ Joseph said to them, "What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that such a man as I can indeed divine?"

rsv@Genesis:44:16 @ And Judah said, "What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how can we clear ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found."

rsv@Genesis:44:17 @ But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father."

rsv@Genesis:44:18 @ Then Judah went up to him and said, "O my lord, let your servant, I pray you, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant; for you are like Pharaoh himself.

rsv@Genesis:44:19 @ My lord asked his servants, saying, `Have you a father, or a brother?'

rsv@Genesis:45:23 @ To his father he sent as follows: ten asses loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses loaded with grain, bread, and provision for his father on the journey.

rsv@Genesis:45:24 @ Then he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, "Do not quarrel on the way."

rsv@Genesis:45:26 @ And they told him, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.

rsv@Genesis:47:2 @ And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:47:3 @ Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were."

rsv@Genesis:47:4 @ They said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn in the land; for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan; and now, we pray you, let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen."

rsv@Genesis:47:5 @ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.

rsv@Genesis:47:6 @ The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen; and if you know any able men among them, put them in charge of my cattle."

rsv@Genesis:47:7 @ Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:47:8 @ And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"

rsv@Genesis:47:9 @ And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."

rsv@Genesis:47:10 @ And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:47:11 @ Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ram'eses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

rsv@Genesis:47:12 @ And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their dependents.

rsv@Genesis:47:13 @ Now there was no food in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.

rsv@Genesis:47:14 @ And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

rsv@Genesis:47:15 @ And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, "Give us food; why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone."

rsv@Genesis:47:16 @ And Joseph answered, "Give your cattle, and I will give you food in exchange for your cattle, if your money is gone."

rsv@Genesis:47:17 @ So they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the asses: and he supplied them with food in exchange for all their cattle that year.

rsv@Genesis:47:18 @ And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year, and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands.

rsv@Genesis:47:19 @ Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be slaves to Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land may not be desolate."

rsv@Genesis:47:20 @ So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe upon them. The land became Pharaoh's;

rsv@Genesis:47:21 @ and as for the people, he made slaves of them from one end of Egypt to the other.

rsv@Genesis:47:22 @ Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh, and lived on the allowance which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.

rsv@Genesis:47:23 @ Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

rsv@Genesis:47:24 @ And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones."

rsv@Genesis:47:25 @ And they said, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be slaves to Pharaoh."

rsv@Genesis:47:26 @ So Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.

rsv@Genesis:47:27 @ Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.

rsv@Genesis:47:28 @ And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.

rsv@Genesis:47:29 @ And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh, and promise to deal loyally and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,

rsv@Genesis:47:30 @ but let me lie with my fathers; carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place." He answered, "I will do as you have said."

rsv@Genesis:47:31 @ And he said, "Swear to me"; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.

rsv@Genesis:48:1 @ After this Joseph was told, "Behold, your father is ill"; so he took with him his two sons, Manas'seh and E'phraim.

rsv@Genesis:48:2 @ And it was told to Jacob, "Your son Joseph has come to you"; then Israel summoned his strength, and sat up in bed.

rsv@Genesis:48:3 @ And Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,

rsv@Genesis:48:4 @ and said to me, `Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you for an everlasting possession.'

rsv@Genesis:48:5 @ And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; E'phraim and Manas'seh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.

rsv@Genesis:48:6 @ And the offspring born to you after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

rsv@Genesis:48:7 @ For when I came from Paddan, Rachel to my sorrow died in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."

rsv@Genesis:48:8 @ When Israel saw Joseph's sons, he said, "Who are these?"

rsv@Genesis:48:9 @ Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." And he said, "Bring them to me, I pray you, that I may bless them."

rsv@Genesis:48:10 @ Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him; and he kissed them and embraced them.

rsv@Genesis:48:11 @ And Israel said to Joseph, "I had not thought to see your face; and lo, God has let me see your children also."

rsv@Genesis:48:12 @ Then Joseph removed them from his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

rsv@Genesis:48:13 @ And Joseph took them both, E'phraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manas'seh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near him.

rsv@Genesis:48:14 @ And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it upon the head of E'phraim, who was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manas'seh, crossing his hands, for Manas'seh was the first-born.

rsv@Genesis:48:15 @ And he blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has led me all my life long to this day,

rsv@Genesis:48:16 @ the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and in them let my name be perpetuated, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."

rsv@Genesis:48:17 @ When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of E'phraim, it displeased him; and he took his father's hand, to remove it from E'phraim's head to Manas'seh's head.

rsv@Genesis:48:18 @ And Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father; for this one is the first-born; put your right hand upon his head."

rsv@Genesis:48:19 @ But his father refused, and said, "I know, my son, I know; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; nevertheless his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."

rsv@Genesis:48:20 @ So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessings, saying, `God make you as E'phraim and as Manas'seh'"; and thus he put E'phraim before Manas'seh.

rsv@Genesis:48:21 @ Then Israel said to Joseph, "Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and will bring you again to the land of your fathers.

rsv@Genesis:48:22 @ Moreover I have given to you rather than to your brothers one mountain slope which I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow."

rsv@Genesis:50:24 @ And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die; but God will visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."

rsv@Exodus:1:7 @ But the descendants of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong; so that the land was filled with them.

rsv@Exodus:1:10 @ Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war befall us, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land."

rsv@Exodus:1:11 @ Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens; and they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Ra-am'ses.

rsv@Exodus:1:12 @ But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel.

rsv@Exodus:1:14 @ and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field; in all their work they made them serve with rigor.

rsv@Exodus:1:15 @ Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiph'rah and the other Pu'ah,

rsv@Exodus:1:17 @ But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live.

rsv@Exodus:1:18 @ So the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, "Why have you done this, and let the male children live?"

rsv@Exodus:1:19 @ The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and are delivered before the midwife comes to them."

rsv@Exodus:2:9 @ And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.

rsv@Exodus:2:10 @ And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son; and she named him Moses, for she said, "Because I drew him out of the water."

rsv@Exodus:2:11 @ One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people.

rsv@Exodus:2:14 @ He answered, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid, and thought, "Surely the thing is known."

rsv@Exodus:2:15 @ When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh, and stayed in the land of Mid'ian; and he sat down by a well.

rsv@Exodus:2:16 @ Now the priest of Mid'ian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

rsv@Exodus:2:17 @ The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

rsv@Exodus:2:21 @ And Moses was content to dwell with the man, and he gave Moses his daughter Zippo'rah.

rsv@Exodus:3:1 @ Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Mid'ian; and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

rsv@Exodus:3:9 @ And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

rsv@Exodus:3:22 @ but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who sojourns in her house, jewelry of silver and of gold, and clothing, and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters; thus you shall despoil the Egyptians."

rsv@Exodus:4:1 @ Then Moses answered, "But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, `The LORD did not appear to you.'"

rsv@Exodus:4:3 @ And he said, "Cast it on the ground." So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.

rsv@Exodus:4:4 @ But the LORD said to Moses, "Put out your hand, and take it by the tail"-- so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand--

rsv@Exodus:4:7 @ Then God said, "Put your hand back into your bosom." So he put his hand back into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, it was restored like the rest of his flesh.

rsv@Exodus:4:9 @ If they will not believe even these two signs or heed your voice, you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it upon the dry ground; and the water which you shall take from the Nile will become blood upon the dry ground."

rsv@Exodus:4:11 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?

rsv@Exodus:4:14 @ Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses and he said, "Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well; and behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

rsv@Exodus:4:18 @ Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, "Let me go back, I pray, to my kinsmen in Egypt and see whether they are still alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."

rsv@Exodus:4:19 @ And the LORD said to Moses in Mid'ian, "Go back to Egypt; for all the men who were seeking your life are dead."

rsv@Exodus:4:20 @ So Moses took his wife and his sons and set them on an ass, and went back to the land of Egypt; and in his hand Moses took the rod of God.

rsv@Exodus:4:21 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.

rsv@Exodus:32:17 @ When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp."

rsv@Exodus:32:19 @ And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses' anger burned hot, and he threw the tables out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.

rsv@Exodus:32:21 @ And Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought a great sin upon them?"

rsv@Exodus:32:23 @ For they said to me, `Make us gods, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

rsv@Exodus:32:25 @ And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose (for Aaron had let them break loose, to their shame among their enemies),

rsv@Exodus:32:26 @ then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Who is on the LORD's side? Come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

rsv@Exodus:32:28 @ And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

rsv@Exodus:32:29 @ And Moses said, "Today you have ordained yourselves for the service of the LORD, each one at the cost of his son and of his brother, that he may bestow a blessing upon you this day."

rsv@Exodus:32:30 @ On the morrow Moses said to the people, "You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."

rsv@Exodus:32:31 @ So Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Alas, this people have sinned a great sin; they have made for themselves gods of gold.

rsv@Exodus:32:33 @ But the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

rsv@Exodus:32:34 @ But now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you; behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them."

rsv@Exodus:33:1 @ The LORD said to Moses, "Depart, go up hence, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, `To your descendants I will give it.'

rsv@Exodus:33:2 @ And I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites.

rsv@Exodus:33:3 @ Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, lest I consume you in the way, for you are a stiff-necked people."

rsv@Exodus:33:4 @ When the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.

rsv@Exodus:33:5 @ For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the people of Israel, `You are a stiff-necked people; if for a single moment I should go up among you, I would consume you. So now put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what to do with you.'"

rsv@Exodus:33:6 @ Therefore the people of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.

rsv@Exodus:33:7 @ Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp; and he called it the tent of meeting. And every one who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.

rsv@Exodus:33:8 @ Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and every man stood at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the tent.

rsv@Exodus:33:9 @ When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the door of the tent, and the LORD would speak with Moses.

rsv@Exodus:33:11 @ Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent.

rsv@Exodus:33:12 @ Moses said to the LORD, "See, thou sayest to me, `Bring up this people'; but thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, `I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'

rsv@Exodus:33:14 @ And he said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

rsv@Exodus:33:15 @ And he said to him, "If thy presence will not go with me, do not carry us up from here.

rsv@Exodus:33:17 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "This very thing that you have spoken I will do; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."

rsv@Exodus:33:18 @ Moses said, "I pray thee, show me thy glory."

rsv@Exodus:33:19 @ And he said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you my name `The LORD'; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

rsv@Exodus:33:22 @ and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;

rsv@Exodus:34:1 @ The LORD said to Moses, "Cut two tables of stone like the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which you broke.

rsv@Exodus:34:2 @ Be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.

rsv@Exodus:34:4 @ So Moses cut two tables of stone like the first; and he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone.

rsv@Exodus:34:5 @ And the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

rsv@Exodus:34:6 @ The LORD passed before him, and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,

rsv@Exodus:34:7 @ keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation."

rsv@Exodus:34:8 @ And Moses made haste to bow his head toward the earth, and worshiped.

rsv@Exodus:34:11 @ "Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites.

rsv@Exodus:34:23 @ Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.

rsv@Exodus:34:24 @ For I will cast out nations before you, and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land, when you go up to appear before the LORD your God three times in the year.

rsv@Exodus:34:27 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Write these words; in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."

rsv@Exodus:34:28 @ And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

rsv@Exodus:34:29 @ When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.

rsv@Exodus:34:30 @ And when Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.

rsv@Exodus:34:31 @ But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses talked with them.

rsv@Exodus:34:33 @ And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face;

rsv@Numbers:7:8 @ and four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merar'i, according to their service, under the direction of Ith'amar the son of Aaron the priest.

rsv@Numbers:7:11 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "They shall offer their offerings, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar."

rsv@Numbers:7:84 @ This was the dedication offering for the altar, on the day when it was anointed, from the leaders of Israel: twelve silver plates, twelve silver basins, twelve golden dishes,

rsv@Numbers:7:85 @ each silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels and each basin seventy, all the silver of the vessels two thousand four hundred shekels according to the shekel of the sanctuary,

rsv@Numbers:7:86 @ the twelve golden dishes, full of incense, weighing ten shekels apiece according to the shekel of the sanctuary, all the gold of the dishes being a hundred and twenty shekels;

rsv@Numbers:7:89 @ And when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with the LORD, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim; and it spoke to him.

rsv@Numbers:8:1 @ Now the LORD said to Moses,

rsv@Numbers:8:3 @ And Aaron did so; he set up its lamps to give light in front of the lampstand, as the LORD commanded Moses.

rsv@Numbers:8:4 @ And this was the workmanship of the lampstand, hammered work of gold; from its base to its flowers, it was hammered work; according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.

rsv@Numbers:8:5 @ And the LORD said to Moses,

rsv@Numbers:8:6 @ "Take the Levites from among the people of Israel, and cleanse them.

rsv@Numbers:8:7 @ And thus you shall do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them go with a razor over all their body, and wash their clothes and cleanse themselves.

rsv@Numbers:8:9 @ And you shall present the Levites before the tent of meeting, and assemble the whole congregation of the people of Israel.

rsv@Numbers:8:10 @ When you present the Levites before the LORD, the people of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites,

rsv@Numbers:8:11 @ and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the people of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of the LORD.

rsv@Numbers:8:12 @ Then the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bulls; and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.

rsv@Numbers:8:13 @ And you shall cause the Levites to attend Aaron and his sons, and shall offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.

rsv@Numbers:8:14 @ "Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the people of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.

rsv@Numbers:8:15 @ And after that the Levites shall go in to do service at the tent of meeting, when you have cleansed them and offered them as a wave offering.

rsv@Numbers:8:18 @ and I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the people of Israel.

rsv@Numbers:8:19 @ And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to do the service for the people of Israel at the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the people of Israel, that there may be no plague among the people of Israel in case the people of Israel should come near the sanctuary."

rsv@Numbers:8:20 @ Thus did Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the people of Israel to the Levites; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, the people of Israel did to them.

rsv@Numbers:8:21 @ And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as a wave offering before the LORD, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.

rsv@Numbers:8:22 @ And after that the Levites went in to do their service in the tent of meeting in attendance upon Aaron and his sons; as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

rsv@Numbers:8:23 @ And the LORD said to Moses,

rsv@Numbers:8:24 @ "This is what pertains to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to perform the work in the service of the tent of meeting;

rsv@Numbers:8:26 @ but minister to their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and they shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites in assigning their duties."

rsv@Numbers:9:1 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

rsv@Numbers:9:3 @ On the fourteenth day of this month, in the evening, you shall keep it at its appointed time; according to all its statutes and all its ordinances you shall keep it."

rsv@Numbers:9:4 @ So Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the passover.

rsv@Numbers:9:5 @ And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the people of Israel did.

rsv@Numbers:9:6 @ And there were certain men who were unclean through touching the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day;

rsv@Numbers:9:8 @ And Moses said to them, "Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you."

rsv@Numbers:9:9 @ The LORD said to Moses,

rsv@Numbers:9:10 @ "Say to the people of Israel, If any man of you or of your descendants is unclean through touching a dead body, or is afar off on a journey, he shall still keep the passover to the LORD.

rsv@Numbers:9:15 @ On the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony; and at evening it was over the tabernacle like the appearance of fire until morning.

rsv@Numbers:9:18 @ At the command of the LORD the people of Israel set out, and at the command of the LORD they encamped; as long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they remained in camp.

rsv@Numbers:9:20 @ Sometimes the cloud was a few days over the tabernacle, and according to the command of the LORD they remained in camp; then according to the command of the LORD they set out.

rsv@Numbers:9:21 @ And sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they set out, or if it continued for a day and a night, when the cloud was taken up they set out.

rsv@Numbers:9:23 @ At the command of the LORD they encamped, and at the command of the LORD they set out; they kept the charge of the LORD, at the command of the LORD by Moses.

rsv@Numbers:10:1 @ The LORD said to Moses,

rsv@Numbers:10:3 @ And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

rsv@Numbers:10:4 @ But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.

rsv@Numbers:10:8 @ And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

rsv@Numbers:10:9 @ And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.

rsv@Numbers:10:10 @ On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts, and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; they shall serve you for remembrance before your God: I am the LORD your God."

rsv@Numbers:10:11 @ In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony,

rsv@Numbers:10:12 @ and the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran.

rsv@Numbers:10:13 @ They set out for the first time at the command of the LORD by Moses.

rsv@Numbers:10:14 @ The standard of the camp of the men of Judah set out first by their companies; and over their host was Nahshon the son of Ammin'adab.

rsv@Numbers:10:18 @ And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out by their companies; and over their host was Eli'zur the son of Shed'eur.

rsv@Numbers:10:21 @ Then the Ko'hathites set out, carrying the holy things, and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival.

rsv@Numbers:10:22 @ And the standard of the camp of the men of E'phraim set out by their companies; and over their host was Eli'shama the son of Ammi'hud.

rsv@Numbers:10:25 @ Then the standard of the camp of the men of Dan, acting as the rear guard of all the camps, set out by their companies; and over their host was Ahie'zer the son of Ammishad'dai.

rsv@Numbers:10:29 @ And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reu'el the Mid'ianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, `I will give it to you'; come with us, and we will do you good; for the LORD has promised good to Israel."

rsv@Numbers:10:31 @ And he said, "Do not leave us, I pray you, for you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us.

rsv@Numbers:10:33 @ So they set out from the mount of the LORD three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

rsv@Numbers:10:35 @ And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, "Arise, O LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee."

rsv@Numbers:10:36 @ And when it rested, he said, "Return, O LORD, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel."

rsv@Numbers:11:1 @ And the people complained in the hearing of the LORD about their misfortunes; and when the LORD heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed some outlying parts of the camp.

rsv@Numbers:11:2 @ Then the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated.

rsv@Numbers:11:8 @ The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in mills or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked with oil.

rsv@Numbers:11:10 @ Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased.

rsv@Numbers:11:11 @ Moses said to the LORD, "Why hast thou dealt ill with thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou dost lay the burden of all this people upon me?

rsv@Numbers:11:12 @ Did I conceive all this people? Did I bring them forth, that thou shouldst say to me, `Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries the sucking child, to the land which thou didst swear to give their fathers?'

rsv@Numbers:11:15 @ If thou wilt deal thus with me, kill me at once, if I find favor in thy sight, that I may not see my wretchedness."

rsv@Numbers:11:16 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Gather for me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.

rsv@Numbers:11:18 @ And say to the people, `Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the LORD, saying, "Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat.

rsv@Numbers:11:20 @ but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have rejected the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, "Why did we come forth out of Egypt?"'"

rsv@Numbers:11:21 @ But Moses said, "The people among whom I am number six hundred thousand on foot; and thou hast said, `I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month!'

rsv@Numbers:11:23 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Is the LORD's hand shortened? Now you shall see whether my word will come true for you or not."

rsv@Numbers:11:24 @ So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and placed them round about the tent.

rsv@Numbers:11:25 @ Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was upon him and put it upon the seventy elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did so no more.

rsv@Numbers:11:26 @ Now two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the spirit rested upon them; they were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp.

rsv@Numbers:11:27 @ And a young man ran and told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."

rsv@Numbers:11:28 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, "My lord Moses, forbid them."

rsv@Numbers:11:29 @ But Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD's people were prophets, that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"

rsv@Numbers:11:30 @ And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.

rsv@Numbers:11:31 @ And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and it brought quails from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.

rsv@Numbers:11:32 @ And the people rose all that day, and all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails; he who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

rsv@Numbers:12:1 @ Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman;

rsv@Numbers:12:2 @ and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it.

rsv@Numbers:12:3 @ Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all men that were on the face of the earth.

rsv@Numbers:12:4 @ And suddenly the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting." And the three of them came out.

rsv@Numbers:12:7 @ Not so with my servant Moses; he is entrusted with all my house.

rsv@Numbers:12:8 @ With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in dark speech; and he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

rsv@Numbers:12:11 @ And Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned.

rsv@Numbers:12:12 @ Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb."

rsv@Numbers:12:13 @ And Moses cried to the LORD, "Heal her, O God, I beseech thee."

rsv@Numbers:12:14 @ But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again."

rsv@Numbers:12:16 @ After that the people set out from Haze'roth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

rsv@Numbers:13:1 @ The LORD said to Moses,

rsv@Numbers:13:3 @ So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the people of Israel.

rsv@Numbers:13:4 @ And these were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Sham'mu-a the son of Zaccur;

rsv@Numbers:13:16 @ These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshe'a the son of Nun Joshua.

rsv@Numbers:13:17 @ Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up into the Negeb yonder, and go up into the hill country,

rsv@Numbers:13:19 @ and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds,

rsv@Numbers:13:20 @ and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there is wood in it or not. Be of good courage, and bring some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

rsv@Numbers:13:21 @ So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath.

rsv@Numbers:13:22 @ They went up into the Negeb, and came to Hebron; and Ahi'man, She'shai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zo'an in Egypt.)

rsv@Numbers:13:23 @ And they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; they brought also some pomegranates and figs.

rsv@Numbers:13:24 @ That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down from there.

rsv@Numbers:13:26 @ And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

rsv@Numbers:13:28 @ Yet the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there.

rsv@Numbers:13:29 @ The Amal'ekites dwell in the land of the Negeb; the Hittites, the Jeb'usites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan."

rsv@Numbers:13:30 @ But Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once, and occupy it; for we are well able to overcome it."

rsv@Numbers:13:33 @ And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim); and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them."

rsv@Numbers:14:2 @ And all the people of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; the whole congregation said to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness!

rsv@Numbers:14:3 @ Why does the LORD bring us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey; would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?"

rsv@Numbers:14:5 @ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the people of Israel.

rsv@Numbers:14:6 @ And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephun'neh, who were among those who had spied out the land, rent their clothes,

rsv@Numbers:14:10 @ But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.

rsv@Numbers:14:11 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs which I have wrought among them?

rsv@Numbers:14:12 @ I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they."

rsv@Numbers:14:13 @ But Moses said to the LORD, "Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for thou didst bring up this people in thy might from among them,

rsv@Numbers:14:19 @ Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray thee, according to the greatness of thy steadfast love, and according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."

rsv@Numbers:14:22 @ none of the men who have seen my glory and my signs which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the proof these ten times and have not hearkened to my voice,

rsv@Numbers:14:35 @ I, the LORD, have spoken; surely this will I do to all this wicked congregation that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die."

rsv@Numbers:14:36 @ And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land,

rsv@Numbers:14:39 @ And Moses told these words to all the people of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

rsv@Numbers:14:41 @ But Moses said, "Why now are you transgressing the command of the LORD, for that will not succeed?

rsv@Numbers:14:42 @ Do not go up lest you be struck down before your enemies, for the LORD is not among you.

rsv@Numbers:14:43 @ For there the Amal'ekites and the Canaanites are before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have turned back from following the LORD, the LORD will not be with you."

rsv@Numbers:16:38 @ the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives; so let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they offered them before the LORD; therefore they are holy. Thus they shall be a sign to the people of Israel."

rsv@Numbers:16:39 @ So Elea'zar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned had offered; and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar,

rsv@Numbers:16:40 @ to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so that no one who is not a priest, who is not of the descendants of Aaron, should draw near to burn incense before the LORD, lest he become as Korah and as his company--as the LORD said to Elea'zar through Moses.

rsv@Numbers:16:41 @ But on the morrow all the congregation of the people of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed the people of the LORD."

rsv@Numbers:16:42 @ And when the congregation had assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting; and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.

rsv@Numbers:16:43 @ And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting,

rsv@Numbers:16:44 @ and the LORD said to Moses,

rsv@Numbers:16:45 @ "Get away from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." And they fell on their faces.

rsv@Numbers:16:46 @ And Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone forth from the LORD, the plague has begun."

rsv@Numbers:16:47 @ So Aaron took it as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and behold, the plague had already begun among the people; and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.

rsv@Numbers:16:49 @ Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died in the affair of Korah.

rsv@Numbers:16:50 @ And Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the tent of meeting, when the plague was stopped.

rsv@Numbers:17:4 @ Then you shall deposit them in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.

rsv@Numbers:17:6 @ Moses spoke to the people of Israel; and all their leaders gave him rods, one for each leader, according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

rsv@Numbers:17:7 @ And Moses deposited the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.

rsv@Numbers:17:8 @ And on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds.

rsv@Numbers:17:9 @ Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the people of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod.

rsv@Numbers:17:10 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebels, that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, lest they die."

rsv@Numbers:17:11 @ Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so he did.

rsv@Numbers:20:1 @ And the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

rsv@Numbers:20:2 @ Now there was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

rsv@Numbers:20:8 @ "Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water; so you shall bring water out of the rock for them; so you shall give drink to the congregation and their cattle."

rsv@Numbers:20:9 @ And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

rsv@Numbers:20:10 @ And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?"

rsv@Numbers:20:11 @ And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

rsv@Numbers:20:12 @ And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

rsv@Numbers:20:13 @ These are the waters of Mer'ibah, where the people of Israel contended with the LORD, and he showed himself holy among them.

rsv@Numbers:20:14 @ Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, "Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the adversity that has befallen us:

rsv@Numbers:20:22 @ And they journeyed from Kadesh, and the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

rsv@Numbers:20:23 @ And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom,

rsv@Numbers:20:27 @ Moses did as the LORD commanded; and they went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

rsv@Numbers:20:28 @ And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Elea'zar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Elea'zar came down from the mountain.

rsv@Numbers:21:2 @ And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, "If thou wilt indeed give this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."

rsv@Numbers:21:3 @ And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and gave over the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; so the name of the place was called Hormah.

rsv@Numbers:21:5 @ And the people spoke against God and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food."

rsv@Numbers:21:7 @ And the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people.

rsv@Numbers:21:8 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live."

rsv@Numbers:21:9 @ So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.

rsv@Numbers:21:11 @ And they set out from Oboth, and encamped at I'ye-ab'arim, in the wilderness which is opposite Moab, toward the sunrise.

rsv@Numbers:21:13 @ From there they set out, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that extends from the boundary of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

rsv@Numbers:21:16 @ And from there they continued to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water."

rsv@Numbers:21:20 @ and from Bamoth to the valley lying in the region of Moab by the top of Pisgah which looks down upon the desert.

rsv@Numbers:21:21 @ Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

rsv@Numbers:21:23 @ But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his men together, and went out against Israel to the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

rsv@Numbers:21:24 @ And Israel slew him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites; for Jazer was the boundary of the Ammonites.

rsv@Numbers:21:25 @ And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.

rsv@Numbers:21:26 @ For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.

rsv@Numbers:21:27 @ Therefore the ballad singers say, "Come to Heshbon, let it be built, let the city of Sihon be established.

rsv@Numbers:21:28 @ For fire went forth from Heshbon, flame from the city of Sihon. It devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the heights of the Arnon.

rsv@Numbers:21:29 @ Woe to you, O Moab! You are undone, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives, and his daughters captives, to an Amorite king, Sihon.

rsv@Numbers:21:30 @ So their posterity perished from Heshbon, as far as Dibon, and we laid waste until fire spread to Med'eba."

rsv@Numbers:21:31 @ Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

rsv@Numbers:21:32 @ And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its villages, and dispossessed the Amorites that were there.

rsv@Numbers:21:34 @ But the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him; for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."

rsv@Numbers:21:35 @ So they slew him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was not one survivor left to him; and they possessed his land.

rsv@Numbers:22:2 @ And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

rsv@Numbers:22:5 @ sent messengers to Balaam the son of Be'or at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of Amaw to call him, saying, "Behold, a people has come out of Egypt; they cover the face of the earth, and they are dwelling opposite me.

rsv@Numbers:22:7 @ So the elders of Moab and the elders of Mid'ian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and gave him Balak's message.

rsv@Numbers:22:8 @ And he said to them, "Lodge here this night, and I will bring back word to you, as the LORD speaks to me"; so the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

rsv@Numbers:22:9 @ And God came to Balaam and said, "Who are these men with you?"

rsv@Numbers:22:12 @ God said to Balaam, "You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed."

rsv@Numbers:22:13 @ So Balaam rose in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, "Go to your own land; for the LORD has refused to let me go with you."

rsv@Numbers:22:14 @ So the princes of Moab rose and went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."

rsv@Numbers:22:15 @ Once again Balak sent princes, more in number and more honorable than they.

rsv@Numbers:22:18 @ But Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, "Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the command of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

rsv@Numbers:22:25 @ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she pushed against the wall, and pressed Balaam's foot against the wall; so he struck her again.

rsv@Numbers:22:28 @ Then the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"

rsv@Numbers:22:31 @ Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.

rsv@Numbers:22:32 @ And the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why have you struck your ass these three times? Behold, I have come forth to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me;

rsv@Numbers:22:33 @ and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, surely just now I would have slain you and let her live."

rsv@Numbers:22:35 @ And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men; but only the word which I bid you, that shall you speak." So Balaam went on with the princes of Balak.

rsv@Numbers:22:40 @ And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.

rsv@Numbers:22:41 @ And on the morrow Balak took Balaam and brought him up to Bamoth-ba'al; and from there he saw the nearest of the people.

rsv@Numbers:23:3 @ And Balaam said to Balak, "Stand beside your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the LORD will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you." And he went to a bare height.

rsv@Numbers:23:6 @ And he returned to him, and lo, he and all the princes of Moab were standing beside his burnt offering.

rsv@Numbers:23:11 @ And Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have done nothing but bless them."

rsv@Numbers:23:13 @ And Balak said to him, "Come with me to another place, from which you may see them; you shall see only the nearest of them, and shall not see them all; then curse them for me from there."

rsv@Numbers:23:15 @ Balaam said to Balak, "Stand here beside your burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder."

rsv@Numbers:23:17 @ And he came to him, and, lo, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, "What has the LORD spoken?"

rsv@Numbers:23:24 @ Behold, a people! As a lioness it rises up and as a lion it lifts itself; it does not lie down till it devours the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain."

rsv@Numbers:23:25 @ And Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all."

rsv@Numbers:23:28 @ So Balak took Balaam to the top of Pe'or, that overlooks the desert.

rsv@Numbers:24:1 @ When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go, as at other times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness.
