When studying any section of this website or scripture, you truly must learn the number symbols to truly comprehend what is recorded in each section of this website. The number symbols open up the keys of understanding, unto the truth of Christ’s work in scripture, within and without of His created works. Therefore, to comprehend Spiritually and scripturally, the true impact of Spiritual Scripture Truth (John 14:6, Heb11:6), of John 3:16 and John 16:9-15, 1John 1:1-3, by what you will learn and see Spiritually on this website, you must spend some time in the introduction section of Symbolism, where the number symbols will come alive for you in Christ’s works, by understanding Rom 9:21, Col 1:16, Rev 1:1-3, Rev 4:11, in the scriptural Revelation of true holy prophecy! If you do this and learn the number symbols in Symbolism, the sections of, Joseph Crown Kingdom, Beast Dragon 666 and scriptural prophecy as a whole, by the numbers symbols, these numbers will be the prophetic truth that will come alive unto you, and you will truly see the works ofChrist and the deceptions of Satan, (John 10:10, 1Cor 10:10, Heb 10:10) throughout scripture, and in this world, by the recordings of this website, as the Lord intended for you to understand from the foundation of the world!

Matt 24:14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The big question before us today would be. WHAT GOSPEL?
Matt 10:26Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. Pet 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
It is the intent and purpose of the Lord within this writer, to reveal the activity of Gods glorious Word of truth, Christ Jesus the Living Word and Lamb of God , in parables, symbols, word symbols, number symbols and historically in peoples live and world events. Thus showing the activity of the right hand of God who’s voice was first uttered in creation in God 3:1 unto Gen 22:21.
I must stress this to all, whom read and understand my writings. All my writings are to be taken on a spiritual level scripturally historically, nationally, personally in individuals and or any way symbolically the Lord sees fit, since, this battle is by nature spiritual, and “is in fact,” the two spiritual voices from Gen 1:3, Gen 3:1 and seeds of the words of these two voices Gen 3:15.
This Study Will Reveal 1st God’s Glorious Truth, Followed By 2nd Following The Promise,and lastly What Gospel. With this Color Headings To Indicate, When And What Study You Are Actually In, In That Portion Of This Two Part Study Lesson.If you find Not, the Lord after reading this study, then you will most likely never find him!
But first we can share with each other this very sad story about two men who have lost their way in history (modern day Judea and the other 11 scattered tribes of Israel today), that live by the fleshy ways of the world today (Destroying and killing each other and this beautiful world we live in,) and have forgotten the God (ADONAI) that gave a promise in Gen 3:15 to all mankind. These two men found their way back to God (EL ELOHE YISRAEL) about 2000 years ago, but lost it again (Pro 16:25) walking down a narrow road that leads to no where. About 2000 years ago God (EL OLAM) delivered on his first promise of 6000 years ago in Gen 3:15,that leads to God‘s throne (Immanuel). But neither man can seem to find that road again. These two brothers stagger around blindly trying to find their way home again, but only stumble over each others religious feet tripping into each other. They seem to think that in the process of killing in foreign lands or at home in their own streets, that when they call out to the Lord (EL ROI) for help he does not seem to respond, in allowing them back to God’s throne (JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH) of grace, in fellowship with God (ELOLHIM). They ask, why can we not seen to get into God’s favour and presence (YAH, ORJAH), as did Adam before the transgression and the Apostles did shortly after the crucifixion of Christ. When turmoil, war, terrorism, protest after protest cannot seem to bring them together again, too be strong as the (12) twelve tribes of Israel were during the period of the kingdom of David and Solomon, they do not seem to understand why God (EL) has turned a deaf ear unto them, Isa 1:15. Some of their children seem to live in prosperity while others, that are forced by the greed of the few, live in poverty, all because of Gen 3:6 and 1John 2:16, while God’s desire (El SHADDIA)) was for all men to live in his will and his (EL ELYON) provisions and providence through John 3:16.
These brothers Luke 15:11 (first brother Judah Luke 15:25 and second brother Israel Luke 15:12,15) while walking togetherin the last days (Current day Judah which is modern day Israel, and the other members of the house of the 11 scattered tribes of Israel, that are mostly the Christian nations Scattered by God, Lev 26:33) strike up a conversation that sounded like this:
(Israel is Ephraim or modern daySamerica and Judah is modern day Israel)
Israel:Hey Judah there is a lot happening in the world today.
Judah: Yep!
Israel:What should we do ?
Judah: I do not know.
Israel:Lets have a investigation?
Judah: Okay.
Judah: Did you find out anything. ?
Israel: No!
Israel : Lets have a special investigation?
Judah: Okay I am in.
Judah: Did you find out anything yet.
Israel: No.
Israel: Lets have a Presidential investigation.
Judah: That’s a good idea ( Stan).
Judah: Did you find out anything yet?
Israel:No not yet!!!!!!
Israel: Lets have an internal investigation?
Judah: Did you find out anything from your other investigations?
Israel: No, I am still trying.
Judah: I think we have done something wrong, Israel.
Israel What’s wrong, Judah?
Judah: Hey Israel, has anyone actually done anything yet?
Israel: Yes we found out that we have had another investigation.
Judah: I think we have had a lot of investigations!
Israel: You are certainly right and I cannot seem to find the report.
Judah: Lets have another investigation.
Israel: okay.
Judah: Did you find out any thing yet.
Israel: yes, someone tampered with the report, we must start all over.
This is the state between these two nations today, nothing complete.
Albert Einstein once said something like this. This will be my own commentary on his statement.Only a fool will do the same thing over and over again looking for a new or different result. It is time to get the truth of God into the hearts of the leaders of the world. Only the truth, of God’s own prophetic words Gen 3:15 and Rev 1:8, will change the coarse of the world to give the world hope and a new path path unto God’s righteousness through Christ! And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
Rev_22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
It gets very quiet for a very brief period of time, about an half hour
(Rev 8:1) and every one stops talking, and asking each other a lot of stupid questions, then everyone looks up.
God finally speaks to the world leaders and say this:
2Ch_7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (God’s desire for his people)
Mat_7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (The path they must take, that leads to God)
Rev_7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (The consequences of that journey.)
Christ Jesus is calling, but the world has turned a deaf ear to IMMANUEL, ADONI, JEHOVAH-MEKADDISHKEM,
JEHOVAH-NISSI, JEHOVAH-RAPHA, JEHOVAH-ROHI, JEHOVAH-SHALOM,YAH, OR JAH. Rev_21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. Rev_22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
So what is wrong with the world today?
Jesus said this:Mat_24:11,12 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. You can not help but notice in Matthew the chapter number and verse numbers. 24, 11,12.
24, is Rev 4:4 in the gospel and voices of the 12 patriots and 12 apostle that have almost gone quiet. 11is the weakened government (2CHR 10:19) of the once strong true spiritual Israel (Acts of the Apostles), with the voice of the whore (too many voices of religions, see symbol Moon in section on symbols) over talking the truth, of the real true (John 16:13-15, Rev 19:10) spiritual of Israel 12 (Tribes) (Eph 2:14-20)on earth today.See symbols and word number symbols.
The present day representative leaders of Christ’s church (that represent the 11 tribes, weak false government), that really are not but are a religious false church within the church, are so busy teaching and preaching divisions and heresies that the children of Judah, Ishmael and the rest of the world does not hear, don’t care and thinks, that the work of Christ and the grace offered of God through the Christian nations are a joke and laughing stalk too them.
This is the Very Sad story of two brothers, that were called together of Christ in his ministry to reach the world Luke 24:47. One of the foolish notions in the teaching today, is, that the church and Christ’s Israel that Christ called Matt 15:24 are separate, thus causing much division and confusion. The truth is as you will see in this study, that the church is the true and only Israel that God had chosen and redeemed by Christ, born of Gods Spirit. This Paul has duly noted in Eph chapters 1 and 2.

This short prayer is for the world at large, titled Last day prayer.
Last Day Prayer For Mankind And The World
O Lord our God and Father, I beseech thee according to thy righteousness and tender mercies, that is contained within your love through the name of Christ Jesus. I ask thee O Lord, let your righteous anger and fury be turned away from the people, that call themselves by your Holy name and thy chosen Spiritual City Jerusalem. I ask and pray unto you, in the name of Christ Jesus your chosen Holy, Mount Zion. It is because of the folly, transgression and iniquities of our for-fathers and ourselves O Lord, that your anger and judgments are aroused against us. We have sinned against your covenant Lord and against each other. This has caused and moved you against our iniquities, because we have sinned against you Holy Lord. The Holy Jerusalem from above, that has been coming down to us thy people, that call ourselves by your name, has become a reproach in the earth against your name, by our transgressing against your Holy Covenant in Christ. Now therefore, O Lord my God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and this supplication for your people. I pray unto you in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord and Saviour of all the earth. Let this prayer O God and Father, cause thy face to shine once again upon thy Holy Sanctuary in the hearts of the your children. Our hearts have become desolate because of our transgressions, against your Holy New Covenant of grace, that we have caused in these last days by our disobedience. O God, myFather, open and incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and behold our desolation that we have caused within ourselves by our transgressions, that our transgressions have moved thy laws and judgments against us, by our own rebellions, against you Lord and each other. Judgment has come upon us by our rebellion against your name and your Holy city from above, the true and only Holy City Jerusalem coming down from above, that you have chosen to be our Mother. This city contains the temple of our only high priest and the seat of the authority of the Lamb. I do not present my supplication before you Father because we have been righteous, but because of your great tender mercies through your grace, and the love bestowed upon us Father, through the offering of Christ Jesus for mankind, and the world by John 3:16.
God’s Glorious Truth&Following the Promise.
These Two Colours, For God’s Glorious Truth and Following The Promise Were Chosen to Indicate the Nourishing Power Of God’s Real Eternal Truth By His Eternal Spirit (Of Christ,1Pet 1:11) When the Spirit of Christ God’s Word Spoke From God’s Own Mouth In Gen 3:15!
(This may take some time and work to both me accumulate and for the reader to follow diligently to comprehend properly.)
If You Know not The Truth of God’s true promise that was spoken of God in Gen 3:15, you will certainly know not, The Promise! John_3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 1Jn_3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
All these were saved and recognized as having God’s Eternal Grace that is given to notables believers in Scripture, Noah Gen 6:8, Lot Gen 19:10, Moses Exo 33:12, 17,Children of Israel as a whole in spite of their sins Exo 34:9,10, Gideon Jdg 6:17,18, Ezra 9:8, A King Psa 45:1,2, The Upright Psa 84:11, A son Pro 1:9, 3:22, The lowly Pro3:34, Children of a father Pro 4:9, Pure of heart Pro 22:11, People left of the sword Jer 31:2, House of David and Jerusalem Zec 121:10, Jesus Luke 2:40, The Word that was made flesh John 1:14, Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, Paul and Barnabas Acts 14:26, Paul to the Romans, Rom 1:5 Church of Corinth 1Cor 1:3, Galatians 1:3, Ephesians Eph 1:2, Philippians 1:2, Colossians Col 1:2, Thessalonians TH 1:1, Timothy 1Ti 1:2 2Ti 1:2, Titus Tit 1:4, Philemon 1:3, Every Man Heb 2:9, To Hebrews the Heb 4:16, The humble Jam 4:6, The elect
1Pet,1:2,To all 2John 1:3, From Christ to the Seven Churches in Asia,
Finally to All mankind From Our Lord Jesus Rev 22:17. Ironically the main figure and character in the three desert religions is not noted by grace
in these previous verse, but what is noted about Abraham is this, Gen_15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. Psa_84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Eph_6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Heb_11:61. But without faith 2. it is impossible to please him: 3. for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and 4. that he is a rewarder of 5. them that diligently seek him.(Here we can see 5 the number of grace in action in God‘s living Word Christ!)1. Christ did and we should lived by faith.2. Christ pleased the father and so should we by faith.3.Christ humbled himself to death by faithfully and consistently by coming to the father for mercy and so should we. 4. Christ knew by faith that the father would reward him with eternal life and glory and so should we.5. Christ knew that his life of faith and faiths actions in him must be a daily occurrence in diligently seeking the father in his life and so should we. See Symbol section under grace for smbolism.
This study is not meant to be directed at any particular religion, nation or people, but spiritually directed to the world as a whole,please, with all your heart, understanding and mind, understand this.Hopefully when the world as a whole has examined and reviewed this study some of the blood shed around the world will end and nations can find the spiritual willpower of peace through the power of God’s grace by Christ. It is the intention of all these writings of this website, to expose the two spirits of Gen 3:15, to reveal to the world that Jesus Christ is the true Messiah and Saviour of the whole world, and to show by the symbolism and reveal in these writings God‘s true plan and intention in these two verses Gen 3:15,16, John 3:15,16. There will be many that will not even look at this, but those that do, may be able to persuade many to lay down their arms, by seeing the evil religious spirit that moves them and the world to destruction. This study is meant to open the worlds eyes to God‘s glorious Word‘s Action and grace, Col 1:12-20. It is the intention of God to flood the world with his real spoken scriptural truth Gen 3:15,16 to John 3:15,16 in Christ, that will cause the final and later day rain in the revelation of God’s Word of his grace by his Mighty Spirit, that shall fall on men of open hearts and then final judgment.
This study is a spiritual identification and the action of the two spirits in Gen 3:15, by showing through scripture how spiritually these two spirits seeds affect 1. the actions of the world by faith,
2. Religions by faith3. the individual persons of the earth’s activities by faith,4. Governments and their actions and the governments rewards by faith5. and Nations actions by faith.
(See symbol section for the word thirteen which symbolizes rebellion, in the section under the word numbers. There you can see the rebellion of the two seeds by their numerical identification.)
This study will show, through God’s spirit (Gen 3:15), that is revealed in this study, Red for Christ and green for Satan, how each particular spirit of Gen 3:15, is, through each of these two spirits revealed, that men of the earth in history have been lead by these two spirits. And now in these last days through the leading of these two spirit’s in the world, the state of affairs the world is in today! By following the children of Isaac and the children of Ishmael and or Esau through the promise to Abraham, some very interesting things occur in the history of the world. God revealed 12 princes (Gen 17:20) through Ishmael Abraham’s first born, and later through Sarah who would produce (Gen 17:15:17) 12 sons of Jacob, in a nation of, kings, and people. By the two symbol portions of this website, the world can see by that study portion and also follow other sections, the world can and will see some of the amazing ways in which God has touched the King James translation and the very beautiful and unique way God has protected the symbols and the symbol numbers in History that reveal his work in Gen 3:15 by these two spirits.
He or she that has given and or arranged the symbols in scripture was either very, very smart and or knew the future by these symbols, but this is not so or true and impossible to do at the time of the writings of scripture, for this is God‘s handy work.These Symbols are given by God’s eternal Spirit unto two nature of men (By the provocation of this spirit {1TIm 5:15} in men *1CHR 21:1 and by the *reversal of works by Christ Spirit {1{Pet 1:11} in these men *2Pet 1:21) for the purpose in all people, in that, to open all the eyes of all nations to God’s scriptural truth of the symbolism of Gen 3:15, and to offer salvation through Christ’s Spirit Our Only friend John 15:15 and to see the evil stealthy spirit 1Tim 5:15, that is, the true enemy (Adversary) (right from the beginning, Genesis) of all peoples and nations of this earth. It is Satan’s evil mission because of mans rebellion that has caused these condition today. So these symbols are mostly taken from scripture, by using the numbers, imagery, metaphorical language, peoples lives with the outcome of those peoples lives today and their scriptural natures of the two spirits in the people today used by scripture. If you have and or are someone’s adversary then the spirit that leads you is the one that also hates you and causes you to destroy others that are created in the image of God.
1Pet 5:8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: and This verse Rom 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Eph_6:11,12 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 1Ch_21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. (Satan’s mission has not changed over these hundreds of centuries, Please Know this.) {Rev =Gentle 13 rebellion of Satan in the children of darkness of the night(Psa 19:2), 12 children of the kingdom of God of the day and light.}
If the writings of any religions god, cannot declare his truth by the proof of his handy work of its writings, then those writings of that god of that religion is not the God of Abraham or creation! The Holy Hebrew and New Testament writings scream loud and clear the name of Christ Jesus and his shed Blood from Gen 1:1 unto Rev 22:21 in shocking detail, types and shadows, parables, metaphorical language,graphic images and the numbers symbols as you shall see by reading and examining this website. Use the symbol section as a reference to understanding symbols in the study of all information on this website Please note the number 15 in this study, it is the key to understanding both the kingdoms of good=Light and evil=darkness. The number 15 is the bridge of understanding unto God’s Glorious Truth in all scripture.
God’s purpose was to offer grace to those that believe in his promise of Gen 3:15 unto John 3:15 unto 1Cor 3:15 unto Rev 7:14,15. It has and never will be with God about the peoples religious indifferences, ideas or personal agendas, but this is a war against an evil spirit of 1Tim 5:15 (Gen 3:1,15, 1Chr 21:1, 1Pet 5:8, Rev 12,9), that God must destroy legally without violating or breaking his (God’s) own ordinances and or commands. It has always been about God’s offering, sacrifice and Saviour for mankind. Hopefully by understanding this truth of Gen 3:15 some of the peoples of this earth will end the wars among each other and learn how to fight your real enemy Satan, and find The Lord who is not far from any of you! Acts 17:27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
1stGod’s Glorious Truth

Written intentionally to reach all the children of Abraham (Gen 17:1-23) and the rest of the world, John 3:15,16, and too ignite the fire to start the later day rain and last great revival.

Introducing, God’s Glorious Truth.
Following the Promise of God’s Covenant of
Truth, Gen 3:15. {{{15 THE NUMBER STAMPED WITH Gods TRUTH CONCERNING THE TWO SEEDS Gen 3:15.}}}
Jesus our Unleavened bread Lev_23:6 And on the fifteenth day (15) of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
Why is this number 15 so important to us through scripture today?
It reveals the two seeds of Gen 3:15, that are used and crushed to make the flour of the bread of these two seeds, that produce 1. The unleavened bread of God’s Word without yeast and 2. The leavened and prideful bread of mans words, that are contrary to the truth of God’s Holy words of his promise spoken in Gen 3:15! See Study Who Owns Pride.
Unleavened bread is made without yeast. In a preparation of household bread, a piece of fermented dough from a previous baking was placed in the kneading trough along with fresh flour, kneaded into cakes, and then baked. Only unleavened bread was to be eaten for seven days that followed Passover, (Ex 12:15-20; 13:3-7)
Luk_8:11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. This Seed is crushed to make the Spiritual flour of God’s Bread!
Satan’s seed (ISA 1:4,) and bread however, is full of the leaven of pride, Gen 1:6, 1John 2:16, PS 59:12, 73:6, Pro 11:12, 13:10, 16:18, ISA 9:9, 28:1, and Mark 7:21,22.
1. Seed (Gen 3:15) of the word in Jesus the man (without sin, 2Cor 5:21, Heb 9:28, Tit 2:13) was taken from ( The Old covenant people, fermented pride.) a piece of a stiffed neck people Judah , Mat_16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Mat_16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Mat_16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
2. Seed (Gen 3:15) of the word of God Christ the Lord that is without the leaven of the pride of man now mixed in the man Jesus to make the unleavened bread of our Passover, Php_2:8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
3. Seed (Gen 3:15) of the word in Jesus the man rolled, beaten, hammered and shaped by the hand of God in the palm of God’s hand to produce new flour to make bread. Isa_28:28,29 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
Isa_53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Php_2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself (shaped in God‘s hand), and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
4. Seed (Gen 3:15) of the word in Christ Jesus the Lord baked in God’s furnace. Deu_4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
The process and fire we go through he has already passed through for us.
Mat_3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Luk_3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
1Pe_1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: This is way Jesus made this statement, Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
5. Seed (Gen 3:15) of the word Christ Jesus our Lord the bread (John 6:48) of life becomes our manna from above (John 6:58).
6. Seed (Gen 3:15) of the word Christ Jesus our Lord becomes the Passover for the world John 3:16, that all men may have rest in Christ from their work, through faith in Christ Jesus John 3:15
The man (mans number is 6) Jesus, God’s offering to please the requirements of the law, has become the all in all for all mankind that believe as Paul has stated in Rom 1:16! Christ Jesus is our Saviour!
These are the two (Seeds Gen 3:15) true and real reasons and importance of Number 15 in scripture.*Christ Jesus the true friend of the children of Israel (John 15:15) in their battle against Satan (1Chr 21:1, 2Chr :11, 1Tim 5:15) the true adversary of all men, Christ Jesus is also your *first Sabbath on the 15th day of the first mount Lev 23:6. However, he is also your *Eighth and finalSabbath (Matt 11:28) on the 15thday of the seventh month Lev 23:39.
The real promise (Gen 3:15) of God’s Living Word (Seed Luke 8:11) is your true Friend John 15:15 and not your adversary and enemy.
This is what is recorded in Lev 23:37-39.
Lev 23:37-39 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.Also in the fifteenth (15) day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. He most definitely is the unleavened bread which came down, Joh_6:58. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. Matt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Jesus is the Seed (Luke 8:11) that was crushed and broken ( ISA 27:9-13) to make the flour that becomes our bread of Life,John_6:48 I am that bread of life.More detail symbol, Feast days.
I will mention this again too you. God’s purpose was to offer grace to those that believe in his promise Gen 3:15 unto John 3:15 unto Rev 7:14,15. It has and never will be about the people and their religious indifferences, ideas or personal agendas, but it is a war against an evil spirit (Gen 3:1, 1Pet 5:8, Rev 12,9), that God must destroy legally without violating or breaking his (God’s) own ordinances and or commands. It has always been about God’s offering, sacrifice and saviour for mankind.
This is what Christ the Lord said from his own mouth. John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. That lead the stiffed neck prideful rebellious seed to do this. Joh_19:15,16 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him (Lift him up to crucify him). Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
Heb_4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Heb_4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. Heb_4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb_4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Heb_4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Of Grace I will reveal unto you what the spirit of God revealed unto me about the true substance of grace.
God Resurrection Atonement Covenant Eternal
Who receives this grace and when did it start?
Gen 6:8 Noah.
Gen 19:19 Moses.
Gen 39:2-4 Joseph.
Gen 17:1-23. Abraham and his seed achieve grace by faith
(Heb 11:6) in God’s promise unto Abraham Gen 15:1,
Eph 2:8, Eph 6:15,16.
That God himself has chosen an earthly family Gen 17:15-17 (ISA 44:1) that would come to bring and symbolize God’s Eternal family of promise through Gen 17:21, the true spiritual Israel. See Eph 1:10,19-23. Eph 2:10- 19 and Rom 11:26.
Those that believe (Gen 3:15, John 3:15) and are saved from both covenants (Gal 4:22-31 noting verse 29, and 1Pet 1:9-13) and are the children of promise. Those that believe not are lead by the evil spirit of Gen 3:15,1Tim 5:15. See also symbol Adversary.
These writings that have been given to us revealed by the Spirit of God, have become the most important thing I myself have ever been involved in, the most fascinating and spiritual thing ever discovered in this modern day and the most important thing in life’s understanding of Christ and the true eternal promise of God.
Some of this this type of scriptural symbolical detail (See Symbol section also)in the KJV Translation only and the English language it self and the volume of it, has not ever been seen or revealed before of God to anyone until now.All the glory and honour belongs to God the Father, in the name of Christ Jesus the Lord and Saviour, revealed by the Holy Spirit. There is no single collection of information and symbolical numerical detail like this touching the promise of God Gen 3:15, or that can compare with this information no where else on this planet. It has been saved for these last days and now is given to all three dessert religions and the world, that through theses writings they may find peace through the Prince of Peace Jesus and end the blood shed, that saturates the world, that Christ died for to redeem men unto Himself by his blood not ours, John 3:15, 16.
Why are men and leaders of the church so divided in these last days?
Most people talked too about the importance of Gen 3:15, have these negative responses, that are of this following natures, however, in that they could have learned these facts and improved their understanding to levels and depths of truth, that have not been know or understood until now. 1. After talking to them for about 20 or 30 seconds which is not enough time to grasp this truth of promise, they disagree and they do not hear because their mouth goes into motion closing their ears and heart, and the only thought on their mind is not God’s truth but their own doctrines or doctrines of their fore-fathers . 2. Some will listen for 20 seconds and then disagree or be totally disagreeable and or argumentative before they have had a chance to understand before the full explanation can be presented. 3. Still others mouth begins to move instantly and the word of truth never touches their inner ear and heart. 4. Some have hearts that are so harden by Satan’s lies nothing said is heard because they listen to know one but self. 5. There are those that are just plan and simply totally unreasonable. All five of these conditions are Satan’s tools that have divided and destroyed God’s heritage. To all those with waging tongues, flapping lips and stiff necks that call yourself the leaders in Christ’s church, you will now become a byword, the tail and with shamed faces, because yourselves, are Jer 23.
Job_24:13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. (((((((1Sa_12:15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.)))))))
Repent now and be used of God and not the enemy that has divided you. Read carefully 1Tim chapters 1,2,4 and 2Tim chapter1.
Because of your present condition and state of mind, the Lord’s instructions is that this should go on the internet, because when a person is reading in their lone time they have no one to disagree with and have time to grasp truth, by this GOD CAN HAVE MERCY ON those so called leaders. Mostly in this present day the leaders have deceived themselves and those that listen to and follow you. God’s glorious truth is now released and out for all the world to have, with the keys of the mystery of the kingdom of God’s glorious truth that has been hidden in Christ I COR 2:7, Rev 10:5-7.

This promise will reveal the Two Seeds of Gen 3:15 and the two different Covenants of God to Abraham Gen 17:1-23. At this present time and day men are truly misunderstanding the message of the two seeds. This very different and twisted understanding in the church leaders today we can see, is very different from what the people of the New Testament time understood, taught and thought, as Paul noted in Gal chapter 4, Eph chapter 2 concerning the heir of promise and the two seeds of Abraham. In these chapters of Gal, and Eph we can find truth and understand the same outcome and end of those seeds as they did at the time of the apostles if we are diligent when we study. Take a walk now with Christ and see his real truth!
(((The True Heir is God’s Israel and Gods house. These facts have not changed with God as God does not change,{{{ Mal 3:6, Matt 5: 17 and 18, Luke 16:17, Rom 3:4}}}, but these facts have been transformed and corrupted into the lies of Satan and his house by foolish and unlearned men, that do not take these two following scripture to heart Gen 3:15!2Ti_2:15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the (See This word )Wordof truth.
Who is the WORD John 1:1-3, Heb 1:1-3 was made flesh John 1:14, Look here at what is written Luke !!!! Luke 8:11Now the parable is this: The seed (Gen3:15) is the word of God.
What is that truth?John 14:6, The living word Heb4:12,13 is truth!
The Greek word for quick in Heb 4:12 means working!
How do we divide the word of truth that is working for our benefit to truly understand?We stay focused on the True Word of Truth, Christ. Hence Focus is the first letters of the word focus.
Final Objective Christ Under Scrutiny! Which is Tim 2:15
Come Have Rest In Sanctified Truth! Which is John 3:15)))
(God’s Promise Gen 3:15) Matt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Following the Promise of God’s Glorious truth.
Please also see the section on symbols. Symbols will help your questions in the portion of this study you are reading when studying to comprehend deeper spiritually.
This has been a spiritual war right from the beginning (Genesis) and men have been warring against each other by the work of Satan‘s deceptions. God‘s true will and purpose for man is not too kill and destroy each other and this world. There is an evil stealthy spirit that has used the hearts and wills of the unlearned and foolish to carry on this battle among men Gen 3:1 and 3:15, 1Chr 21:1.
Men have taken this battle and fought against each other at the command of (1CHR 21:1) and by the deception (Gen 3:1) of Satan. See 2Kings 1:1-4.
Men have allowed because of this lack of truth(Hosea 4:6), in that they seek not to try and understand God’s own prophetic truth (Gen 3:15). This lack of truth causes the division that persist among the seeds of Adam the man of the earth, and most notably the seeds of Abraham, the in children of promise. God has not been pleased with the hearts of men and the rebelliousness that they choose from their own hearts. Josh_24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. See Josh 24:2 For the Babylonian gods (of Nimrod) of Terah the father of Abraham. Same spirit of the Babylonians that entered the Northern Tribes of Israel and corrupted them Hosea
5:1-4, Pro 6:26, Eze 6:9, Eze 16:30. This is the same spirit (Hosea 5:4), that corrupts the churches with two different doctrines one for the church and the body of Christ and one for Israel,that do not understand properly, Eph 2:14,15 in modern times, that causes all the division of lies, (Hosea 4:6.). Their fault is making Israel and Judah synonymous in their teaching, thus labeling Judah in the State of Israel, as Israel. They certainly did not read the quote of David Ben Gurion,the first Prime Minister of Israel, after the second World War to the united nation when Israel became a nation in the Land of Modern day Judea of Palestine and the response of Harry S Truman
to Ben Gurion. At that time Ben Gurion stated to the UN we want a Jewish state and Truman replied you shall be called Israel. Ben Gurion dedicated his life to the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine and who was regarded as the father of his country.
It’s really not complicated, just scriptural truth in Christ, God’s True Seed.
It is not the amount of information or your author, or how well you can present your information, or how fancy or how well versed you are, it is the relevancy of that information that is revealed, in that it confirms and conforms to God’s promise (Gen 3:15), not the desires of men and only this matters. No information or amount of information on this planet means anything to God, or has any relevancy unless it reveals the truth of Christ from Gen 1:1 unto Revelation 22:21. What is that truth?
John 14:6 is that truth! God himself must be the only and true Author of real eternal information. Hence Alpha and Omega, First and Last. All others are liars and or deceivers from out of the first portion of the verse John 10:10.
The number 15 in scripture identifies the two seeds, which leads to the two trees and the two bunches of the fruit of the two spirits throughout scripture.
Therefore Gen 3:15 is the key to unlocking God‘s own truth of hiskingdom in scripture and the key that will undo all the lies of men from Adam to the last man born on this earth! I will do my best to give all the truth the Lord has revealed to me along with its details, symbolism and the understanding of that truth. My God please help me in Joshua‘s name.

15 The Number Symbol and the most crucial verse in scripture spoken from the mouth of Gods himself, Gen 3:15.
Gen 3:15 will reveal and identify unto you the two Seeds (spirits, 1Pet 1:11, Eph 2:2) of Gen 3:15, that only God has authorized by himself in the first prophecy to be the key that unlocks the truth of God in those two seeds of Gen 3:15.
Seed One, Pure Righteous – John 14:6, Righteous Seed of God.
Seed Two, Defiled Corrupt – Gen 3:1,6 and 1John 2:16, the
unrighteous seed of men of the earth deceived by the serpent.
Friend, Christ our Saviour, Satan, Murdering Enemy, Advsary.
The visible (Rom1:20) importance of number 15 used of the Lord.
Gen 3:15, Enmity between the two seeds. These Seeds Are Spiritual By Nature.
The first woman (Virgin) is mentioned in this verse because she was ordained before the foundation of the world (Matt 13:5,Mat 25:34,John 17:24, Eph 1:4,HEB 4:3, 1pET 1:19,20,Rev 13:8,Rev 17:8.) See Symbolism virgin and woman.
The second woman (Whore, see symbol whore) not mention will latter be revealed as a Babylonian (Nimrod’s desires Gen 11:4,9) whorish spirit (Hosea 5:4) of deception among those that call themselves by God’s name by calling themselves the children of Abraham Gen 17:1-23. See symbolism Whore. The word whore occurs 15 times in scripture. This is Satan’s woman and wife.
Again Satan (Gen 3:15) is identified by his seed that is in his woman the whore by the number of verses that identify her, for the word whore occurs 15 times as you will see later.
First, Enmity: Meaning Hostility
Gen_3:15 And I will put enmity (Hostility) between thee (serpent) and the woman (Bride of Christ, Rev 12:14), and between thy seed (Pro 12:9, Pro 15:26) and her seed (Luke 8:11, Rev 12:17); it shall bruise thy head(Rom 16:20), and thou shalt bruise his heel (Jacob, Heb–crooked heel, deceiver, one who lies in wait, supplanting).
Luke_23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. We can see evil in this verse in one accord but the church cannot seem to be united on anything.
Rom_8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Eph_2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; Eph_2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
James_4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Seed, the word.
The original Hebrew for the word seed in Gen 3:15, is seed.
However, some other English (Other than the original King James)translations including some Hebrew Torah and Tunach translations have translated the word seed (Gen 3:15) for off spring which is a critical mistake. When translating this word seed for offspring it blinds the hearts eye (Inner man of the soul) to the truth of the spiritual battle that is revealed through this verse (Gen 3:15) and its number as you will see if you examine this study.
The Official 1611 release and translation of the King James is the translation that has been notably touched by the hand of God as you will see. It is the English language that will come to fulfill Matthew 24:14 and conclude God’s plan that will end with Rev 10:5-7, since the original Hebrew from the time of Abraham is different of that of today and some word meanings have been lost.
When the Old and New testament were canonized, there were no number, chapters or solid good concordances or computer programs. These chapter and number verses were added to make the text conform to the English language for the purpose of understanding at the time of the King James publication and translation.The translators had no idea what would happen and become of these chapter and numbers of the OT and NT in the Old King James Trans. But low and behold unbeknown to the translators, when translating the King James from the original Hebrew and Greek translated into English, it began to reveal, that certain numbers and symbols began to talk to each other in a spiritual language of the understanding of God’s Own Prophetic Truth of Christ and the lies of Satan starting at the beginning in Gen 3:15 with God‘s own prophecy.
This Key Verse of 3:15and other verse numbers like 3:16 have only been seen in this understanding in these last days, in that these are the root keys verses to unlocking all prophetic messages in scripture starting at the book by Genesis.

Chapters and verses of the Bible
From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Gospel according to John showing chapters and verses (King James Version)
The Bible is a compilation of many shorter books written at different times and later assembled into the biblical canon. All but the shortest of these books have been divided into chapters, generally a page or so in length, since the early 13th century. Since the mid-16th century, each chapter has been further divided into “verses” of a few short lines or sentences. Sometimes a sentence spans more than one verse, as in the case of Ephesians 2:8–9, and sometimes there is more than one sentence in a single verse, as in the case of Genesis 1:2. As the chapter and verse divisions were not part of the original texts, they form part of the para text of the Bible.
The Jewish divisions of the Hebrew text differ at various points from those used by Christians. For instance, in Jewish tradition, the ascription to many Psalms are regarded as independent verses or parts of the subsequent verses, making 116 more verses, whereas the established Christian practice is to treat each Psalm ascription as independent and unnumbered. Some chapter divisions also occur in different places, e.g. 1 Chronicles 5:27–41 in Hebrew Bibles is numbered as 1 Chronicles 6:1–15 in Christian translations.
Chapters and verses of the Bible

Chapters[edit]
The original manuscripts did not contain the chapter and verse divisions in the numbered form familiar to modern readers. In antiquity Hebrew texts were divided into paragraphs (parashot) that were identified by two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Pe indicated an “open” paragraph that began on a new line, while Samekh indicated a “closed” paragraph that began on the same line after a small space.[1] The earliest known copies of the Book of Isaiah from the Dead Sea Scrolls use these two Hebrew letters for their paragraph divisions, although they differ slightly from the Masoretic divisions.[2] (This is different from the use of consecutive letters of the Hebrew alphabet to structure certain poetic compositions, known as acrostics, such as several of the Psalms and most of the Book of Lamentations.)
The Hebrew Bible was also divided into some larger sections. In Israel the five books of Moses were divided into 154 sections so that they could be read through aloud in weekly worship over the course of three years. In Babylonia the Torah was divided into 53 or 54 sections (Parashat ha-Shavua) so it could be read through in one year.[2] The New Testament was divided into topical sections known as kephalaia by the fourth century. Eusebius of Caesarea divided the gospels into parts that he listed in tables or canons. Neither of these systems corresponds with modern chapter divisions.[3] (See fuller discussions below.)
Chapter divisions, with titles, are also found in the 9th century Tours manuscript, Paris Bibliothèque Nationale MS Lat. 3, the so-called Bible of Rorigo.[4]
Archbishop Stephen Langton and Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro developed different schemas for systematic division of the Bible in the early 13th century. It is the system of Archbishop Langton on which the modern chapter divisions are based.[5][6][7]
While chapter divisions have become nearly universal, editions of the Bible have sometimes been published without them. Such editions, which typically use thematic or literary criteria to divide the biblical books instead, include John Locke’s Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul (1707),[8] Alexander Campbell’s The Sacred Writings (1826),[9] Richard Moulton’s The Modern Reader’s Bible (1907),[10] Ernest Sutherland Bates’ The Bible Designed to Be Read as Living Literature (1936),[11] and The Books of the Bible (2007) from the International Bible Society (Biblica).
Verses[edit]
For at least a thousand years the Tanakh has contained an extensive system of multiple levels of section, paragraph, and phrasal divisions that were indicated in Masoretic vocalization and cantillation markings.[citation needed] One of the most frequent of these was a special type of punctuation, the sof passuq, symbol for a full stop or sentence break, resembling the colon (:) of English and Latin orthography. With the advent of the printing press and the translation of the Bible into English, Old Testament versification were made that correspond predominantly with the existing Hebrew full stops, with a few isolated exceptions. Most attribute these to Rabbi Isaac Nathan ben Kalonymus‘s work for the first Hebrew Bible concordance around 1440.[6]
The first person to divide New Testament chapters into verses was Italian Dominican biblical scholar Santi Pagnini (1470–1541), but his system was never widely adopted.[12] Robert Estienne created an alternate numbering in his 1551 edition of the Greek New Testament [13] which was also used in his 1553 publication of the Bible in French. Estienne’s system of division was widely adopted, and it is this system which is found in almost all modern Bibles.
The first English New Testament to use the verse divisions was a 1557 translation by William Whittingham (c. 1524–1579). The first Bible in English to use both chapters and verses was the Geneva Bible published shortly afterwards in 1560. These verse divisions soon gained acceptance as a standard way to notate verses, and have since been used in nearly all English Bibles and the vast majority of those in other languages. (Nevertheless, some Bibles have removed the verse numbering, including the ones noted above that also removed chapter numbers; a recent example of an edition that removed only verses, not chapters, is The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language by Eugene H.

The first concordance to be printed, it appeared in 1470 at Strasburg, and reached a second edition in 1475. The larger work from which it was abridged was printed at Nuremberg in 1485. Another Dominican, John Stoicowic, or John of Ragusa, finding it necessary in his controversies to show the Biblical usage of nisi, ex, and per, which were omitted from the previous concordances, began (c. 1435) the compilation of nearly all the indeclinable words of Scripture; the task was completed and perfected by others and finally added as an appendix to the concordance of Conrad of Halberstadt in the work of Sebastian Brant published at Basle in 1496. Brant’s work was frequently republished and in various cities. It served as the basis of the concordance published in 1555 by Robert Estienne. Estienne added proper names, supplied omissions, mingled the indeclinable words with the others in alphabetical order, and gave the indications to all passages by verse as well as by chapter, bringing his work much closer to the present model. Since then many different Latin concordances have been published:
The Old and New Testaments are the eternal narration of God’s own prophetic truth Gen 3:15in the understanding of that truth given through God’s own Spirit John4: 15 and 22-23, John 16:7-15., that will bring us to John 3:15
There is an eternal script writer that has formatted the prophecies, the lives, numbers, events and the words of every line passage and number of the Holy OT and NT writings. Rom 1:17-25, Noting V 20.
The keys to the Kingdom of heaven are hidden in the parables, symbols, for-shadows, metaphorical language, peoples lives, numbers and most importantly; seeing Christ Jesus the Lord of Glory (James_2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.) in every line, word and promise of God, that will divide (Gen 3:15 Satan‘s seed), conquers and destroy the works (1John 3:8) of the enemy (1CHR 21:1) of God’s family (John 3:3-8), house (Israel 1Kg 8:16) and people(2Chr 7:14) beginning at Genesis 1:1 unto Rev 22:21. This work of giving you these keys of God’s kingdom has been laid on my hearts vision(Pro 29:18) for over 40 years and has been given me by the Holy Spirit. See John 16:13-15.
Mat_16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mar_4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
Rev_22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. See dog ,Pro 26:11, 2Pet 2:22 and symbol dog.
Joh_10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Rev 19:10, Psa 107:20, John 1:1-3,14, Col 1:15-19,2:6-15, 1Tim 3:16, Heb 1:2,3, 1John 1:1-3.
These are but a few verses of scriptures, we shall start at Genesis.
I like to make note of the following details to enlighten you of some important points that do not readily appear in scripture at first glace, but you need God’s Spirit’s Eye concerning the number 15 to see the two spiritual seeds. Zec_4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Friend (singular) the word occurs 15 times in the new Testament,
Thy seed(Gen 3:15) of the woman(Virgin bride of Christ, Rev 12:7) Gen 3:15 is seed of Advocate and friend. Jesus is our friend
John 15:15 and our Advocate 1John 2:1. (See John 3:15)
Jesus the Christ has the colours White Righteousness, Blue Power, Red in that of the cleansing Blood of redemption.
(There are 5 verses {Number of Grace 5} that have the words Blood and Lamb in them Lev 14:25, ISA 66:3, 1Pet 1:19, Rev 7:14, Rev 12:11 and all Five speak of a lamb and blood.) Christ ensign colour is Deep red, Crimson as the royal seat of Judah over Gods Heritage Israel. Num_2:2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father’s house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
Friend: Freogan, to love. Webster’s; a person whom one knows well and is fond of; intimate associate; close acquaintance; a person on the same side of ally: opposed to foe.

THE ENEMY Satan
1Ti 5:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
Satan (Heb, Adversary) occurs 15 times in the Old Testament.
Satan is the adversary that hates and stands against God’s Israel in both Old and New Covenants.(1Chr 21:1, 2Pet 2:15, 1John 3:15), 1Ch 21:1, Job 1:6, Job 1:7, Job 1:8, Job 1:9,
Job 1:12, Job 2:1, Job 2:2, Job 2:3, Job 2:4, Job 2:6, Job 2:7, Psa 109:6, Zec 3:1,
Zec 3:2
Satan the spirit of hate, Gen 27:41 and Jealousy Gen 21:9.
1Jn_4:20,21 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
(((Was not Isaac and Ishmael brothers? Was not Jacob and Esau brothers? It is obviously apparent that the spirit that is instrumental in all the bloodshed of these brothers and Christianity and others around this world is that of the evil spirit of Gen 3:15.To this I leave you these verses Mal_2:10Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us(Gen 1:26)? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers (Gen 17:1-23) ?
And these, Num_16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
Num_27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation.
WHO IS this man over the congregationEph_1:17-23 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.)))

1KG 16:7, 2KG 22:20, 2Chr 34:28 Psa 119:101, Jer 19:3, 2Tim 2:9, In that all these verses speak of the evil that is in mankind, that walk {John 6:66} away from God’s covenant in Christ. Mans number being the number 6.
Satan (Adversary) is the evil spirit (Rev 12 :9) in mankind that seeks to destroy God’s Holy sanctified people Israel and the Judah of today, so called Israel in the present land of Judea in the Holy Land Of the East.
Judah at this period in OT times was still part of Israel (1Chr 21:1) Evil 6x symbolizes Satan attacking Grace of both covenants.

Satan’s colour is Black and death symbolizing sin and darkness, Purple in this study as in emanate death, his ensign colour is Green symbolizing the life he has destroyed and the life eternal that he tries to imitate, or red showing the innocent blood he has spilled. And some times the green land symbolizing prosperity and regeneration or rebirth of the people of that land that serve not and knoweth not The Lord or his promise .
Satan is also a murderer John 8:44.
Murderer occurs in 15 verses marking Satan by God’s design from out of Gen 3:15.

Satan’s heavenly host (Deu 4:19 see also Jezebel and 19) symbol is the Moon, dry and desolate, cold with no following water, lifeless, no real glory of its own but must rely on the sun to shine on it to receive its limited amount of false glory, in that it is merely a reflection of God‘s real truth. The Crescent moon and or the green or red ensign are the symbols that mark Satan’s territory.See symbols Moon Beast.
(Rev 2:13 Satan‘s seat, Perga means chief city (PAMPHYLIA SOUTH COST OF ASIA MINOR), Pergamos, Asia Minor [Turkey, also the country of the origin of the worlds fastest growing desert religion, that has a RED ensign and white crescent moon and star in its ensign, founded by Turkish tribes under Osman Bey. See PSA 37:35. Bay, Bey. Do you find this very curious? Yes it certainly is! PSA 37:35 the only mention of the bay tree] Also Site of the first temple of the Caesar-Cult, {Man worship Rev 13:15,16, 2Thes 2:4, MAT 24:15}) (Look at the flags of the world and notice their colours.)
Thy seed (Gen 3:15) of a future Woman=adversary (1CHR 1:21)or Satan’s whore.
See Hosea 5:4:for whorish spirit of Babylon that corrupted the northern Kingdom of Israel. (In these verses (Rev 12:13-17) is seen the seeds of the two women, That of church of Christ in a spiritual wilderness and that of the worlds whore of Satan casting out a flood of lies for the purpose of deceiving the church to destroy her.)
Adversary, Foe Webster’s: An enemy or foe, one who opposes another; an opponent antagonist as in a contest of any kind. Mat_13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? Mat_13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Adversary occur 5 times in the New Testament. Satan is the adversary of Christ and God’s true grace in both Covenants.
Mat_5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Luk_12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
Luk_18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

1Pe_5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Strange woman
A whore scripturally is a spiritual woman that will lift her skirt and allow all and or any to insert a corrupted strange seed within her, This is the strange woman,Pro_2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; Pro_5:3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: See also Pro 5:20, Pro 6:24.
Pro_23:27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. Remember Pit for future study.
Any people ,nation or religion that has strayed from the Covenant of circumcision that God had made with Abraham Gen 17:1-23, is a strange whorish woman, sitting among the children of the promise, imitating Gods promise through lying sign and wonders 2Thes 2:7-10. We must understand that we are dealing with a lying cunning spirit Gen 3:1 (John 8:44), that showed himself in Gen 3:1, that God pronounced judgment on Gen 3:15.
Satan’s wife is the whore of scripture that is also stamped with 15 with the seeds of Satan’s lies.
Whore occurs in 15 verses. Webster’s a woman that engages in illegal sexual intercourse, especially one who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse for pay; a prostitute; harlot.
Scripturally one who does all the above but most importantly allows a strange seed (that’s not her husband) to be inserted within her.

5.Deu_23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

13.Rev_17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
14.Rev_17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
15.Rev_19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
The words evil and spirit in the same verse also occur in 15 verses, all speak of or to the evil that can be in mankind. Again all identifying the evil spirit of Gen 3:15.
Jdg_9:23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
2. 1Sa_16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
3. 1Sa_16:15 And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
4. 1Sa_16:16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

10. 2Ch_33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
11 .Luk_11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
12. Act_19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
13. Act_19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
14. Act_23:9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
15. 1Pe_4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
Do you still think that the word of God is not true and that this is not a spiritual battle, or that the bible is a bunch of fairy tales or there is no devil?You better rethink you desires and find Christ before you miss your calling to grace by the Spirit of God! The Spirit of iniquity that will fill and deceive the world is close to you and wants you!
See 2Thes 2 verses 3,4,7,11,12.
Gen 3:15 is the first Prophetic verse ever spoken and it came right out of the mouth of God himself concerning the two trees of Gen 2:9.
Herein are the two seeds of Gen 3:15 that produce two different
trees on these two different fruit of Gen 2:9,17;3:1,3,6.
Seed, Tree, Fruit Following Each other.
Good Seed= Luk_8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
1Pe_1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Mat_13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
Mat_13:20,21 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Mat_13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Joh_8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Good Tree
Isa_11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Rom_15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Mat 7:17-19 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Good Seed Gen 3:15, Of Good Tree (ISA 11:10) Produces Good Fruit.
1Pe_1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Gal_4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Gal_4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Rom_9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Luk_8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
This is the product of God’s wordIsa_61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he (JOHN 16:13-15) might be glorified. Pe_1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Luk_8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Good Fruit= There are twelve fruit of the Spirit of God on the tree that should rule over the life of a believer, Rev 22:1,2 list the twelve fruit but goes not specify their nature.(Twelve the number of God’s government and ruler ship. See word twelve under the section number in the section of Symbols)
We will list the nature of the twelve fruit here.
(Gal 5:22,23). There are nine fruit listed here. Spiritual fruit type, followed by fruits meaning! Since man was created in the image and likeness of God and God’s breath was breathed into man, than man has these nine fruit from birth that cause mankind to love out of these nine!
1. Love. A deep feeling of fondness and friendship, great affection or devotion.
2. Joy. Strong feelings of pleasure, gladness: happiness.
3. Peace. Freedom from war or strife of any kind; not quarreling, state of quietness.
4. Longsuffering. Enduring trouble, pain, or injury long and patiently.
5. Gentleness. Not server, rough, or violent, mild, easily handled or managed.
6. Goodness. The quality or state of being good; excellence, virtue.
7. Faith. Believing without proof, trust; confidence, reliance.
8. Meekness. Patient; not easily angered; mild, submitting tamely when injured.
9. Temperance. Moderation in action, speech, habit, etc.
The following three are God’s alone and no man or woman can or ever will be able to in their own natural created strength copy or demonstrate these three, because they belong to God alone all by himself. They must only come and be applied within mans spirit by the born again process ordered by God John 3:3-8. What should be noted is that God’s Holiness stands alone Rom 6:22 Heb_12:14, because truth, leads to righteousness, leads to holiness to God. 1Pe_1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
(Ephesians) 5:9 Thee are two listed here. Spiritual fruit type, followed by fruits meaning.
10. Righteousness. Upright conduct; virtue, the state or condition of being right and just.
11. Truth. The quality or property of being in accord with fact or reality.
(Romans) 6:22 One listed here. Spiritual fruit type, followed by fruits meaning.
12. Holiness. Belonging to God, set apart for God’s service.
All twelve of God’s Spirit’s fruits, should govern the child of God’s life.
Not only are there twelve fruits of God’s Spirit but also twelve gifts of God’s Spirit also. They are given by God to govern the affairs of the church.I will just name them because I want to make a very interesting point about God and his created order with the creation and divinely ordered numbers such as twelve.
The twelve gifts are all listed in 1Corinthians chapter twelve verses 8-10 and 28,29.
1. Word of wisdom.
2. Word of knowledge.
3. Faith.
4. Healings.
5. Miracles.
6. Prophecy.
7. Discerning of spirits.
8. Divers tongues and interpretations of tongues.
9. Apostles.
10. Teachers.
11. Governments.
12. Helps.
What is most important and that should be directly noted is faith, which is listed as a gift and a fruit. This is because all things pertaining to God come by faith in God as recorded in the book of Hebrews. It is faith through trust that governs the fruits and the gifts of God’s Holy Mighty Spirit through faith in God’s Living Word Christ Jesus the Lord.
Bad Seed, ISA 1:4, the words of Satan’s Children. Satan’s words are the sword of his spirit against Gods Israel. See Rev 12:13-17.
Psa_37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
Pro_12:6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
Mal_2:3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
Pro_15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
Isa_32:7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to
destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
Job_8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
Psa_26:5 I have hated the (Satan’s) congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
Mat_13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Psa_73:8 They are corrupt(Seed), and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
Dan_11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Jud_1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
Rev_19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
This is the product of Satan’s Seed’s Word Psa_26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. Isa_1:4 Ah sinful nation (Jer 3:11 Satan‘s counterfeit [Hosea 5:1-5] Israel, See11 Number Symbols), a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel (MK 1:24, LK 4:34.) unto anger, they are gone away backward. Lucifer Isa_14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Mat_7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat_7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Mat_12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. (His as in: His, Christ’s seed tree fruit,His, Satan’s seed tree fruit!)
.
Joh_8:44 Ye are (Your seed, tree and fruit) of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him (Only Death). When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
1Jn_3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
So what can we say of these two different seeds and two different trees?
Pro_15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but The words of the pure are pleasant words.
Satan’s Tree
Luk_3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Deu_12:2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall
possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: 2Ki_16:4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 2Ki_17:10 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: Psa_37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. The one and only time this tree is mentioned, PSA 37:35.(All nations of the earth see sin as darkness and blackness spiritually. (The bay tree PSA 37:35. I will highlight certain points to notice about this tree. Taken from a bible Encyclopaedia: (Bay Tree: (Heb, native born) PSA 37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. The bay tree is undoubtedly Laurus nobilis, sometimes called the “bay laural” or sweet bay. A dark ever green tree, which in Europe grows to a height of thirty ft., but in Pal. May reach t sixty ft. It is not a spreading tree, and therefore the word “spreading” probably means towering tree (Towering religion). The berries (fruit) are black (Sin and darkness). The fragrant leaves are dark green and glossy. It is often used in cooking with fish (MK 1:17), such as mackerel. The Greeks used the branches as crowns for their hero’s. (Or a Hero, such crown on a false prophet)
Isa_57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks? Jer 3:13 (Referring to the back sliding Israel verse 11 that have walked away from God‘s covenant with Abraham Gen 17:1-23.) Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD Eze_6:13 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols. Eze_17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it. Luk_23:27-33 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Luk_13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Luk_13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
Bad Fruit, From Bad seed Gen 3:15 of Corrupt Tree
Eph_6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 1Pe_5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary (Satan) the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Mat_3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Pro_12:6 The words (Seed Gen 3:15) of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:

In this study I will try with all my heart to give you as much detail as possible, hoping this will cause you to see God’s Glorious Truth in Christ. This may be time consuming for you if you follow every scripture, but at the end your understanding will excel above those around you. The Lord will open up your understanding to more then what is written in this study! My hope is that you will share the truth of Christ as God reveals it to you unto the world also.
I hope you will be diligent studying with the information provided you, to see the eternal truth of God.Christ, Gods true Anointed One.
Heb_11:6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2nd Following The Promise
The Lord God’s desire for mankind was to select a chosen nation Gen 17:15-17, people (Hebrew) and family (Jacob) to bring forth and about the Holy Righteous Seed and Holy One of God of Gen 3:15,
ISA 54:5 Mark 1:24, John 3:14,15,16, John 10:14,15,16 Rev 19:13,14, 15,16, ISA 9:6-8, noting verse 8 of ISA about a word into Jacob, although some and most of that nation was not and is not holy but stiff necked DEU 31:27, JER 17:23. But God in his mercy and because of his promise to Abraham has not forgotten (Mal 3:6) the human fleshy line and family through which God fulfilled that promise Matt 3:15, John 19:30. God has selected the elect John 3:3-8 out of that nation and people in those that would become his, from out of them, that love him ( Matt 22:34 40) and his laws and order, in that nation, and to offer to the world (John 3:15,16) a opportunity to come unto himself to receive salvation without respecter of person Mark 16:15,16 Luke 24:27,47. An a true friend John 15:15, against our true adversary Satan and his seed 1Tim 5:15.
The rebellion of this Semitic nation, would lead to and foster many religions and twisted branches of each, with corrupted seeds, trees and fruit, which represent the Moon of the dream of Joseph,(See Symbol moon). Most all of these religions by their doctrinal lies, personal agenda and or personal twisted thinking of grace, is a false salvation. They all have in may ways corrupted the truth of God in Gen 3:15, that is the work of true grace (1Pet 1:10). They all would now and later come to despise Christ and or those John 15:19, that stand for the truth Christ proclaimed and those he has chosen John 15:15, in that these chosen would declare that truth.
God’s true house was, is and always will be a Spiritual
(John 4:22,23) Israel and Jew, (Rom 2:29, John 4:21). {For the royal seat of authority is in Judah Gen 49:1,8-12 ISA 9:6-8 Rev 19:13,14,1516}
There are children of the flesh and children of the Promise.
Promise, John3:3-8, John 15:15, Gal 4:23-31,.
Flesh, John 15:18 these hate –>(the elect of God),Rom 9:5, 7,8,15,16,18{ Rom 9:8 is this evil seed Gen 3:15, Good seed of
Gen 3:15 are these, Luke 8:11 John 1:14 Gal 3:15,16 1Pet 1:11,15}24-33. Rom 11:15-29 noting verses 22 (Luke 9:22, Leaders of the Jews at that day, not the people) 23, 25, (Judah and the leaders Luke 9:22, of Judah are, as some forget or ignore, are also the natural flesh line of Israel and also of Jacob. This leadership is, the blind portion of Israel and so it is today, until Rev 1:7 occurs.), 26 (Rom 11:26) is what remained of Jacob {Mal 3:6 Rom 11:29} and that which has not excepted Christ today, for there are many of Judah in the world and in modern day Israel that have accepted and love Jesus the Christ. The Apostle and even Paul, struggled with the leaders and priest of the Jews (Judah) and those that where lead by them are Jacob. Jacob means crooked heel, supplant, to lay in wait for.)
The rebellion of those that would lead to many and divers religions from out of the Abrahamic covenant of the flesh that leads to the three dessert religions Gen 17:13 (See Word number in Symbols fro 13 the number of REBELLION) will all come to despise the true remnant (Rom 9:27) and righteous seed of God’s true Israel, that live in and by God’s true grace in both those that belong to Christ and righteous Judah Rev 11:3:4, Rev 12:17.
In the end will rise a false prophet and saviour from the these Abrahamic rebellious people, that will rise from the spiritual pit of Joseph and the spiritual Egypt they entered, that will envelop these people and draw them away from the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Israel into a spiritual land of bondage. They are seeking food but the leaders and pastors of today have not feed (John 21:15,16,17) them and they are eating dead dry grasses on dry rocky hillsides with no water. They will spiritually sell their souls to this beast from the pit of Joseph that his spiritual brethren cast him into, to eat the bread of men EZE 24:17. The beast and false prophet will lead the world religions to a desolate place by pastors of desolate hearts Matt 24:14. see JER 23 Pastors.
You lying pastors are the false whorish spiritual in the religions of today and you will not escape the consuming wrath of the Lamb and God Rev 6:15-17. The leader that will rise from this confused whorish people of the earth (Planting soil of a corrupt SEED Gen 3:15) out of Joseph’s spiritual pit will have the heart of a beast, he (See article Teen Suicide and Bullies for beast heart) will be the leader in the latter day as Joseph was in Egypt of his day. He will lead the whole WORLD or PEOPLE OF THE EARTH INTO THE BONDAGE OF SIN with the chains of Satan around their desire and hearts (Mat 24:14), as was Germany’s nation by Hitler during the second world war. However, this spiritual Joseph of Egypt from the pit will have this master of this spiritual Egypt (Rev 12:9) the Dragon of the sea.
This leader will rise to power through violence and the hearts of the people will be so perplexed by so much violence and war they will be blinded and they will except this false prophet after he brings peace through war.
This leader will be a descendent of Abraham that may well have been submersed in Judaism, Islam and Christianity. His system of leadership will be the beast of his heart, in the position in the world as a leader, he will be a spiritual false prophet speaking peace and salvation to the world, and his spiritual affiliation will be anti-Christ. The tension through radical terrorism of today by lone wolves, the perplexity in the world will increase to unacceptable levels by all, that give cause by reason for his rise to world dominance, with this leader’s ideology of leadership accepted by the world. God himself will allow this world rebellion against his holy seed in this rebellious people of the earth because they will not receive the truth of Christ but will be even more anti-Christ with the rise of this leader. See The article on Teen suicide and bullies to understand the origins, outcome and end of this beastly spirit.
Now to Following the Promise
We will list twelve principles of truth and then later detail each principle.
Learn and understand these principles and you will understand God’s own prophetic truth of promise from beginning Gen 1:1 of Mark 1:1, to end Rev 22:16-21.
God’s ordained order of rule. (12 the number of Government Rule, Matt 2:6.)
1. Perfect love relationship defiled. Gen 3:1,6—> 1John 2:16.
A. Corrupted hate defiles God’s love in mankind Gen 3:6.
2. Pride of rebellion entered and destroyed the heart . Gen 3:7.
B. Two Adams, one pride of heart, Second truth in the heart. 1Cor 15:45-49.
3. God’s plan of recovery through redemption. Rom 3:24.
4. God’s purpose for the world. John 3:16
5. God’s own prophetic words of seed separation. Gen 3:15
6. Given to God’s People (His House Israel) 1KG 8:16.
7. Purchase price of that house. Offering of Son. 1COR 7:23.
8. Resulted in Passover for his House. 1COR 5:7
9. Proof of Passover Resurrection of Son. 1Pet 1:3.
10. Power of the resurrection, The Blood of the Son Phl 3:10.
11. Peace from that Price. ISA 9:6, John14:27, PHP 4:27.
12. Prince of Peace, pleased the Father. Matt 3:17, Luke 3:22.
Introducing, Following The Promise.
Before I detail these 12 rules of God’s promise and follow them, I would like to give you some more symbolical insight into God’s Glorious Truth that may help you understand God’s eternal promise. This may take some time on your part , please bear with me and yourself.
What is needed to reveal this glorious truth of God’s promisethat will help us follow God‘s promise.
Ten the number that signifies things that are complete in Scripture.
I call this the ten S’s, 10 being the number of completion in scripture. Gods plans complete with S by ten. See Word Number In Symbols.
Satan the adversary and the deceiver caused the slavery of sin. Three x S
Christ the redeemer became Substitute unto a Sacrifice to Saviour. Three x S
This produces Sons of God, Servants of God and Soldiers in God’s army. Three x S
Final conclusion is Salvation through Faith in Christ, John 3:16 unto Col 2:10. One x final S. Total Ten x S.
The glaring proof of the God of creation is in the scripture writings themselves because Paul put it like this, Rom_1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Col_1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Again we shall make this claim.
If the writings of any religions god, cannot declare his truth by the proof of his handy work of its writings, then those writings of that god of that religion is not the God of all creation! The Holy Hebrew and New Testament writings scream loud and clear the name of Christ Jesus and his shed Blood from Gen 1:1 unto Rev 22:21 in shocking detail, types and shadows, parables, metaphorical language and graphic images as you shall see by reading this study.
Now to as many as we can understand of those verse that relate to Gen3:15, in as much as I can understand and relate to you.
My hope is to walk you through the promise in Gen 3:15 of seed separation, unto the covenants of promise of God himself made unto Abraham Gen 12:1-3;13:15; 15:1,14,15; 17:7,8,15, 22:15-17, 28:15, all = John 3:15,Our Friend
John 15:15,Who is ISA 45:15
Gen 3:15 is the first Prophetic verse ever spoken and it came from the mouth of God himself concerning the two trees of Gen 2:9.
God’s Glorious Truth Of His Promise
What is God’s Truth and the Glory behind that Truth?
*It is the Revelation of the shed Blood of the righteous seed of Gen 3:15 unto Rev22:21!
Isa_48:11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? And *I will not give my glory unto another. * 1Ti_3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Mat_24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Gen_49:2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. Isa_9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Jesus is Israel our everlasting Father Redeemer.)
God’s Promise to Abraham
Gen_12:2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Gen_22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, Gen_22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
Gen_22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed(righteous heavenly eternal seed only, the true Israel) as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the (earthly fleshy seed only, House of Jacob) sea shore; and thy seed (AS in One righteous Seed Gen 3:15, Gal 3:6-18) shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Mal_3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Jacob is the earthly line of the fleshy rebellious seed, True Israel is God‘s house that is heavenly and righteous. ISA 10:20-23, 2King 19:30,31)[There is also a false Israel]
2Ki_19:30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Isa_46:3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
Jer_6:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.
Jer_23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. (EZE 34:11-16.

If the writings of any religions god (See symbol Baal), cannot declare and show his truth and proof of his handy work through those writings, then those writings of that god of that religion, are not from the God of all creation, seeing that all gods of men seem to be invisible, even the God of creation. See section God of all creation, invisible. 1Tim 6:13-16.
See Christ and his shed Blood scripturally from Gen 1:1 unto Rev 22:21 in shocking detail, types and shadows, parables, metaphorical language and graphic images as you shall see by reading these writings. 1Ti_3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1. When God’s Spirit is present, things began to move and happen by Grace.
2. When God’s Spirit is present, life becomes eternal through faith.
3. When God’s Spirit is present, death is overcome by life.
4. Without grace, present, there is no healing of soul, spirit, body and mind.
5. Without grace, there is no true redemption. ZEC 12:10
6. Without grace, there is no real truth.
7. Without grace present, there is no life saving miracles.
8. When Gods Spirit is fully at work Gods Rest and Peace is accomplished
For grace is the vehicle through God’s love, unto his mercy, that opens the harbingers of God’s temporal and eternal promises. Only the grace of God that first showed itself Gen 3:15, to Noah Gen 6:8 will last unto the end Rev 22:13-21. Other figures, that received God’s grace through the promise of Gen 3:15.Noah Gen 6:8, Joseph Gen 39:4. Moses Exo 33:12,17,Jer 31:2, Psa 45:2, Zec 4:2.
Grace Is:
God’s Redemptive Atonement’s Covenant Evermore. (Everlasting life.)
God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. Our iniquities laid upon him.
Good Race Always Comes Easy—-Take my yoke!
Witness unto all men, the light of the gospels truth of Christ.
We are to be witnesses of God’s light and truth.

Eph_2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: ( Concerning the light of the wicked, Job_18:18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
Mat_5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Luk_16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
Joh_1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Joh_3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh_8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Joh_9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Joh_11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Joh_12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
2Co_4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
LM-I
At this point I will show the action of the two seeds using the symbols in the English language that for the most part is the worlds first language. I myself
Believe this to be so by God’s design because the last day message will go out in the English language. See Rom 1:21 and 8:19-23.
There is a distinct difference between the two seeds of Gen 3:15
The first witness of God’s truth Gen 3:15 in two seeds.
Satan the adversary, destroyer and enemy of God’s true Israel and the leader and deceiver in the house of the false Israel.
Christ the advocate, redeemer and friend of God’s true Israel and the head and truth giver to God’s House the true Israel.
I will first give you these scriptures spoken by Jesus and one spoken of Peter.
Mat_11:25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Mat_16:17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
2Pe_3:16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
The wall that God has placed between these seeds and separates these two seeds can be summed up in one word and object and that is BLOOD.
It is because of the BLOOD of Jesus Christ God’s
Lamb that Satan has no access to God to accuse the children of truth.
_____________________________________________________________
The power of the Blood of Jesus, and the resurrection of Christ is the most overlooked and forgotten message of Truth today, John 3:16.
Heb_9:22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Lev_17:11For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Joh_6:53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Eph_2:13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Heb_10:19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Heb_13:20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
1Pe_1:2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1Jn_1:7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Rev_1:5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
See Red (In Your Salvation), This = the Blood
The big red R has executed the D
How is this done?Gal 3:13. BY the execution of Christ Jesus.
By this you will be a over-comer by the Blood of the Lamb,

The old and the original Hebrew has been lost because of the scattering of the twelve
tribes of Israel.There are many forms of Hebrew today that have been diluted from the
Original, that existed about six thousand years ago. Will Silverman in his 1968
Publication, Judaism and Christianity page 128 made a comment to this effect, (My own
words) The Jewish Bible translated into English published by the Jewish Publication
Society in 1916 was based on the 1611 English translation. What is not mentioned is that
1611 translation was in fact the King James Bible, the only English translation release
that year.
English is the worlds ordered and ordained of Gods preferred Language. This has been done by God because the heart of the gospel has been spread by this language in these last days.80%of the world leaders speak this language. The last day message will be broadcast in this language. The evidence is loud and clear. How do I know. See English Symbols following, because no other religion, languageor so called sacred writings do what follows and identify the handy work of its God in those writings. See ROM 1:20,21.
Know in your heart thatJesus the Christ is Lord of all creation

Amen.
Moreunderstanding on the two seeds of Gen 3:15, Where man’s troubles began in the same chapter.
Mans troubles began more than 6 thousand years ago with the fall of Adam.
9,the number that reveals God’s truth in scripture, or the error caused by man in scripture.
Seesection on Symbolism, word nine, for explanation on Nine.
There are 9 utterances in Gen chapter 3 that show both the cause (Error in man) of mans fall and God’s solution, by his own prophetic words of truth (Gen 3:15) in the same chapter.
The first evil utterance was spoken by none other than the first liar Satan.
I would like to start with this verse before I reveal the 9 utterances.
Joh_8:44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The word liar occurs 13 times in scripture, 13 being the number of rebellion. Here are the thirteen occurrences.Job 24:25,Pro 17:4, Pro 19:22, Pro 30:6,
JER 15:18,, John 8:55, Rom 3:34, 1John 1:10, 1John 1:2:4,1JOhn 2:22,
1John 4:20,1John 5:10.
These are the 9 utterances of Gen chapterthree that began the cascading effect’s of Satan’s lie, mans fall and God’s response to Satan.
Gen Chapter Three, Utterances Of Serpent (Satan), Eve, Adam and Finally God.
You must understand that God will always get the last Word!
There are 9 conversations in all in this chapter.
1. Verse 1, serpent has a conversation with the woman.
2. Verse 2-5, woman responds in a conversation with the serpents lie.
3. Verse 6, woman entices her husband to eat of the forbidden fruit.
4. Verse 7, man and woman conspire together to hide themselves from God.
5. Verse 9, they are exposed, the truth is known, God calls Adam.
6. Verse 10, Adam responds to God calling him.
7. Verse 13, God responds to the woman who began this rebellion.
8. Verse 14, God responds to the serpents lie.
9. Verse 15, God pronounces his judgment, to separate the two seeds that
will later seal the fate of the children of promise (John 3:15) and the
children of the devil, 1John 2:15, 1Tim 5:15.
These occurrences in Gen 3 become the symbol for the number 9 in scripture that reveals truth and error. From this chapter comes the conduct in 9 of the two seeds in the book of James, same chapter 3.
Here in is the comparison of the two Seeds in each of their conduct using the book of James that reveals error and truth using number 9.
Rebellions Conduct 9 in each of Spirits Conduct
Fleshy Conduct The two rows Humbleness to God
(Separation of Seeds)
Gen 3:15
1. Bitter envying. James 3:14-18 1. Pure
2. Strife in the heart 2. Peaceable
3. Self glory 3. Gentleness
4. Lie not against truth 4. Easy to entreat
5. Mans wisdom not from above 5. Full of mercy
6. Earthly (Wisdom) 6. Good fruits
7. Sensuality 7. Without partiality
8. Devilishness 8. Without hypocrisy
9. Confusion 9. Fruit of righteousness
There are also 9 fruit of the spirit of man from birth Gal 5:22-25.
Now onto the number 15.
Why is the number 15 so important in scripture?1 is God, 5 is Grace.
Lev 23:4-6These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’S passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. ( Unleavened bread was made without yeast with a piece of fermented dough from a previous baking, made in hast because of the exodus from Egypt.) Jesus is our unleavened made without yeast from above but mix with a piece of fermented dough (Judah), from the Old Covenant. He is the manna from above that is mixed with theseed (bread of man) of fallen man.
The bread from the seeds of man are these,Pro_4:17For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. Pro_20:17Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
Now to as many as we can understand of those verse that relate to Gen3:15, in as much as I can understand and relate to you.
.
Following The Promise In The Redemption Of God Our Redeemer
Promise related scriptures from Genesis 1:1 unto Revelation 22:21.
I will with all my heart and soul try to bring the Old and New Testament
correlations to light and together on a Spiritual note. In this we can understand God’s written promise from out of the mouth of God’s Alpha and Omega to the understanding of, the beginning to the ending of God’s plan and from the first and the last action of God in this plan through God‘s will in creation and not man‘s will or the will of other spirits. My hope is to reveal as much imagery of the truth of Christ as possible through the dark shadows of scripture that elude most of mankind. See 2Pet 3:16.
Everyone knows and understands scripturally that the fall of man started
when Adam and Eve transgressed God’s spoken law and authority of his Word. Since this is a story of two seeds and of the fall of a man and a woman and their transgress-ional utterances, we will study the promise in the context of these two seeds, and theman and women in the purpose of their created order and finally see the metaphorical language and shadows of these thoughts in a spiritual understanding from the perspective of God whom is a Spirit. We can see what God wants us to see of him and his works. This whole plan is based upon God’s institution offamilies, the and separation of these two seeds (Gen 3:15)and God’s purpose for his electfamily that he has chosen as his own elect ,GEN 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
The heart of this story comes from out of Genesis chapters 1,2,3 which is the foundation (Rev 21:14. You must have a foundation before you erect a wall, gate and city.) of the plan, so this is where we will start at the foundation of this family (Gen 3:15) and branch ( ISA 11:1) out after Gen chapter three unto Revelation 22:21. For Foundation and stone see ; John 17:24, Eph 1:4, 1Pet 1:20. Also ISA 28:16, EPH 2:20.
As touching the family of the seed of the elect and chosen I will try to use this format as the substance of this study to get hopefully the true understanding of the promise and the family of God through the choice in faith unto the word of Truth “Christ the Lord” of all creation.
To understand why God made such a promiseof redemption we must understand also the reason for the promise and the position God took after the fall in the events that befall Adam and Eve. I will try to bring to bear the heart and breath of these three chapter and other Old Testament scriptures as they relate to the New Testament and the work of Christ our Redeemerthroughout all the rest of scripture. (This will not be easy by no means but with the help of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of Truth I will make through from the beginning to the end that all may know Revelation 10:7.)
See first Revelation 19:10 for testimony of Jesus that is the Spirit of prophecyand 1Peter 1:10,11 for the promise and the Spirit of Christ God’s Living Word that was present right from the beginning in those of the Old COVENANT. Because he is the Alpha and the Omega of God’s truth throughout the written text of the prophetic messages that has begotten his elect unto God from Gen 1:1 unto Revelation 22:21, See Galatians 4:29 for those that were born of the Spirit right from the beginning! (I will touch on born again in this study and put to rest the truth
that has been distorted and or water down with dirty water from doctrines below and not from the cleansing water from above, see John 3:5-8, 4:21-24.
Special Note: I realize there will be many that do not and will not understand, for this I will give this passage of scripture for the purpose that hopefully their eyes will open to God’s truth. For God’s plan is not about a natural people but about the chosen elect ones and those that are grafted into the Spiritual family of the God Spirit that rules over all creation.. 2TI 3:1-7.This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. To understand why
GEN 1:26-27 And 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
GEN 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. GEN 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God 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 knowledge of good and evil.
GEN 2:15-17 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
GEN 2:21-25. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a
woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
Gen chapter three is the pivotal chapter, where the nine utterance occurred, that set the coarse of creation and beganthe plan of salvation through redemptionin Gods truth, John 14:6. This is the chapter of the voices in the earth, 4 in all.
Genesis 1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God
divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the
firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening
and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the
heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth
brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And
the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it
was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the eveningand the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 2
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on
the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the
seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh
day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth
when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the
heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of
the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth,
and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the
earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the LORD God formed man
of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and
there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the
LORD God 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 knowledge of good and
evil. 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was
parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it
which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold
of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the
second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 14
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east
of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15 And the LORD God took the man,
and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD
God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely
eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 18 And the LORD God
said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for
him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and
every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call
them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name
thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he
took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which
the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the
man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be
one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
ashamed.
Genesis 3
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God
had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of
the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For
God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and
ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the
tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also
unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were
opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking
in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from
the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD
God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard
thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree,
whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The
woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the
woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the LORD God said
unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle,
and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt
thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel. 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow
and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall
be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, Because
thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for
thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and
thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In
the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out
of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 20 And
Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 21 Unto
Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed
them. 22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know
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: 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the
garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out
the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming
sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Genesis 4
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have
gotten a man from the LORD. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was
a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in process of time it
came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the
LORD. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat
thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5 But unto Cain
and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his
countenance fell. 6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is
thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if
thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and
thou shalt rule over him. 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to
pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and
slew him. 9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I
know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the
voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou
cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood
from thy hand; 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto
thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 13 And
Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold,
thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face
shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall
come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. 15 And the LORD said
unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him
sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill
him. 16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of
Nod, on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare
Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his
son, Enoch. 18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and
Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. 19 And Lamech took unto
him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as
have cattle. 21 And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as
handle the harp and organ. 22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal- cain, an instructer of
every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 23 And
Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech,
hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man
to my hurt. 24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
sevenfold. 25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his
name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel,
whom Cain slew. 26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called
his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Genesis 5
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in
the likeness of God made he him; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed
them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 3 And
Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after
his image; and called his name Seth: 4 And the days of Adam after he had
begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 5 And
all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 6
And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: 7 And Seth lived after
he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: 8
And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 9 And
Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: 10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan
eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 11 And all the days
of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 12 And Cainan lived
seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel: 13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel
eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 14 And all the days
of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. 15 And Mahalaleel lived
sixty and five years, and begat Jared: 16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared
eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: 17 And all the days
of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 18 And Jared
lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: 19 And Jared lived after
he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 20 And all the
days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 21 And Enoch
lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22 And Enoch walked with God
after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23
And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And Enoch
walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 25 And Methuselah lived an
hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech: 26 And Methuselah lived after
he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and
daughters: 27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine
years: and he died. 28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and
begat a son: 29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us
concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD
hath cursed. 30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five
years, and begat sons and daughters: 31 And all the days of Lamech were seven
hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 32 And Noah was five hundred
years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 6
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the
LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet
his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in
those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters
of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were
of old, men of renown. 5 And GOD 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. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing,
and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah
found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah
was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10 And
Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 The earth also was corrupt
before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the
earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the
earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the
earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the
earth. 14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and
shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion which thou
shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth
of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A window shalt thou make to
the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou
set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 17
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all
flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in
the earth shall die. 18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt
come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the
ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 20 Of fowls after
their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after
his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 21 And take
thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it
shall be for food for thee, and for them. 22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God
commanded him, so did he.
Genesis 7
And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee
have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou
shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not
clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the
male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet
seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights;
and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the
earth. 5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 6 And
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into
the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that
are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as
God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the
waters of the flood were upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,
in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In the selfsame day
entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s
wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 14 They, and every
beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every
bird of every sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all
flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and
female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 17 And
the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the
ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were
increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that
were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the
waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved
upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the
breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance
was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and
the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the
earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was
with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters
asswaged; 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were
stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters returned from
off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the
waters were abated. 4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the
seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters
decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of
the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 6 And it came to pass at the end
of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 7 And
he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up
from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were
abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of
her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face
of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in
unto him into the ark. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent
forth the dove out of the ark; 11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and,
lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were
abated from off the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth
the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. 13 And it came to pass in
the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the
waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the
ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14 And in the second
month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 15 And
God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy
sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that
is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be
fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his
wife, and his sons’ wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every
fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of
the ark. 20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean
beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the
LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again
curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is
evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I
have done. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 9
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon
every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon
the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have
I given you all things. 4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof,
shall ye not eat. 5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of
every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s
brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall
his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 7 And you, be ye fruitful,
and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 8 And God
spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9 And I, behold, I establish my
covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10 And with every living creature
that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with
you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 11 And I will
establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the
waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you
and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my
bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the
earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the
bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is
between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no
more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and
I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and
every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17 And God said unto Noah,
This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all
flesh that is upon the earth. 18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark,
were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 These are
the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20 And Noah
began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the
wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the
father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren
without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their
shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and
their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. 24 And Noah
awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25 And
he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan
shall be his servant. 28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Genesis 10
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and
unto them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and
Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons
of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan;
Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 By these were the isles of the
Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in
their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and
Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begat Nimrod:
he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the
LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 10
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in
the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and
the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same
is a great city. 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and
Naphtuhim, 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and
Caphtorim. 15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, 16 And the Jebusite,
and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the
Sinite, 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward
were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 19 And the border of the
Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest,
unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. 20 These
are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries,
and in their nations. 21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the
brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 22 The children of
Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 23 And the children of
Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah
begat Eber. 25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for
in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 And
Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah, 27 And
Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 29 And
Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their
dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 31 These
are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after
their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations,
in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
Genesis 11
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to
pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of
Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make
brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they
for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top
may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and
the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the
people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now
nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let
us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one
another’s speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face
of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it
called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth:
and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat
Arphaxad two years after the flood: 11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five
hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 12 And Arphaxad lived five and
thirty years, and begat Salah: 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four
hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 14 And Salah lived thirty
years, and begat Eber: 15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and
three years, and begat sons and daughters. 16 And Eber lived four and thirty years,
and begat Peleg: 17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty
years, and begat sons and daughters. 18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat
Reu: 19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat
sons and daughters. 20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: 21
And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons
and daughters. 22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: 23 And Serug
lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 24
And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: 25 And Nahor lived after
he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 26
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 27 Now these
are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran
begat Lot. 28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in
Ur of the Chaldees. 29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of
Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of
Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 30 But Sarai was barren; she
had no child. 31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s
son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with
them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto
Haran, and dwelt there. 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years:
and Terah died in Haran.
Genesis 12
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will
make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and
thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that
curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4 So Abram
departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram
was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. 5 And Abram took
Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had
gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go
into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 6 And Abram
passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the
Canaanite was then in the land. 7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said,
Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD,
who appeared unto him. 8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the
east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the
east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of
the LORD. 9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. 10 And there
was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for
the famine was grievous in the land. 11 And it came to pass, when he was come
near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that
thou art a fair woman to look upon: 12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the
Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me,
but they will save thee alive. 13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be
well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 14 And it came to
pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman
that she was very fair. 15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her
before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16 And he
entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and
menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. 17 And the LORD
plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me?
why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19 Why saidst thou, She is my
sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife,
take her, and go thy way. 20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him:
and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Genesis 13
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot
with him, into the south. 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where
his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 4 Unto the place of
the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the
name of the LORD. 5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds,
and tents. 6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell
together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 7
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of
Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 8 And
Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and
between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. 9 Is not the whole
land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left
hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go
to the left. 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it
was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,
even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they
separated themselves the one from the other. 12 Abram dwelled in the land of
Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward
Sodom. 13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD
exceedingly. 14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from
him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward,
and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15 For all the land which thou seest,
to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 16 And I will make thy seed as the
dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy
seed also be numbered. 17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in
the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. 18 Then Abram removed his tent, and
came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar
unto the LORD.
Genesis 14
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar,
Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; 2 That these made war with
Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and
Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. 3 All these were
joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. 4 Twelve years they
served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5 And in the
fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote
the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in
Shaveh Kiriathaim, 6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is
by the wilderness. 7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh,
and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt in
Hazezon- tamar. 8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of
Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela
(the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim; 9 With
Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king
of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five. 10 And the vale of Siddim
was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there;
and they that remained fled to the mountain. 11 And they took all the goods of
Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. 12 And they took
Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. 13
And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in
the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these
were confederate with Abram. 14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken
captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and
eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. 15 And he divided himself against them, he
and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which
is on the left hand of Damascus. 16 And he brought back all the goods, and also
brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter
of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh,
which is the king’s dale. 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and
wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said,
Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And
blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
And he gave him tithes of all. 21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me
the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 22 And Abram said to the king of
Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor
of heaven and earth, 23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet,
and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have
made Abram rich: 24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the
portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take
their portion.
Genesis 15
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear
not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. 2 And Abram said,
Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my
house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast
given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. 4 And, behold, the word
of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall
come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 5 And he brought him forth
abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to
number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 6 And he believed in the
LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. 7 And he said unto him, I am
the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to
inherit it. 8 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? 9
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of
three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young
pigeon. 10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid
each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. 11 And when the
fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away. 12 And when the sun
was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great
darkness fell upon him. 13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed
shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall
afflict them four hundred years; 14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve,
will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 15 And thou
shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 16 But in
the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites
is not yet full. 17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was
dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those
pieces. 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto
thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the
river Euphrates: 19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 20 And the
Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 21 And the Amorites, and the
Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Genesis 16
Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an
Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the
LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be
that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 3
And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt
ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his
wife. 4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she
had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 5 And Sarai said unto
Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when
she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge
between me and thee. 6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy
hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled
from her face. 7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the
wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. 8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid,
whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face
of my mistress Sarai. 9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy
mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. 10 And the angel of the LORD said
unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for
multitude. 11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child,
and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath
heard thy affliction. 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every
man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all
his brethren. 13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou
God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? 14
Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and
Bered. 15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which
Hagar bare, Ishmael. 16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar
bare Ishmael to Abram.
Genesis 17
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram,
and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2
And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee
exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4 As for
me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be
Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee
exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of
thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after
thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and
to thy seed after thee. 8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the
land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting
possession; and I will be their God. 9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep
my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10 This
is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee;
Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye shall circumcise the
flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in
your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any
stranger, which is not of thy seed. 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is
bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in
your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised man child whose
flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people;
he hath broken my covenant. 15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife,
thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 16 And I will bless
her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a
mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. 17 Then Abraham fell upon his
face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an
hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? 18 And Abraham
said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 19 And God said, Sarah thy
wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will
establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed
after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him,
and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall
he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But my covenant will I establish
with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 22
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. 23 And Abraham
took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought
with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised
the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him. 24 And
Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of
his foreskin. 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was
circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 26 In the selfsame day was Abraham
circumcised, and Ishmael his son. 27 And all the men of his house, born in the
house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Genesis 18
And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent
door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three
men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent
door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have
found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4 Let a
little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under
the tree: 5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after
that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So
do, as thou hast said. 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said,
Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon
the hearth. 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good,
and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 8 And he took butter, and
milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by
them under the tree, and they did eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah
thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 10 And he said, I will certainly return
unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son.
And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. 11 Now Abraham and
Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the
manner of women. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am
waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 13 And the LORD said unto
Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child,
which am old? 14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will
return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 15 Then
Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou
didst laugh. 16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and
Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17 And the LORD said, Shall I
hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely
become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed
in him? 19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household
after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment;
that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 20 And
the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because
their sin is very grievous; 21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done
altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will
know. 22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but
Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt
thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Peradventure there be fifty
righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the
fifty righteous that are therein? 25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to
slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked,
that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 26 And the
LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the
place for their sakes. 27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have
taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: 28
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the
city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty
found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. 30 And he said unto him,
Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be
found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 31 And he said,
Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there
shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. 32
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once:
Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s
sake. 33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with
Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Genesis 19
And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom:
and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face
toward the ground; 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into
your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up
early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all
night. 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and
entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread,
and they did eat. 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of
Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every
quarter: 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which
came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 6 And
Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7 And said, I pray
you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have
not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as
is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they
under the shadow of my roof. 9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again,
This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal
worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot,
and came near to break the door. 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled
Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men that
were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they
wearied themselves to find the door. 12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here
any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou
hast in the city, bring them out of this place: 13 For we will destroy this place,
because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD
hath sent us to destroy it. 14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law,
which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD
will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. 15
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy
wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity
of the city. 16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon
the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being
merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. 17 And
it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape
for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the
mountain, lest thou be consumed. 18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified
thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape
to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: 20 Behold now, this city is near
to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?)
and my soul shall live. 21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee
concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou
hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be
come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 23 The sun was risen
upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom
and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 25 And he
overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and
that which grew upon the ground. 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and
she became a pillar of salt. 27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the
place where he stood before the LORD: 28 And he looked toward Sodom and
Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of
the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. 29 And it came to pass, when God
destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out
of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters
with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two
daughters. 31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there
is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: 32
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may
preserve seed of our father. 33 And they made their father drink wine that night:
and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she
lay down, nor when she arose. 34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the
firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us
make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may
preserve seed of our father. 35 And they made their father drink wine that night
also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay
down, nor when she arose. 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by
their father. 37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is
the father of the Moabites unto this day. 38 And the younger, she also bare a son,
and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon
unto this day.
Genesis 20
And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled
between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 2 And Abraham said of Sarah
his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. 3 But
God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but
a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife. 4 But
Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a
righteous nation? 5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she
herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my
hands have I done this. 6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou
didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against
me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. 7 Now therefore restore the man his
wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if
thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are
thine. 8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants,
and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. 9 Then
Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and
what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a
great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. 10 And
Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? 11
And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place;
and they will slay me for my wife’s sake. 12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is
the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became
my wife. 13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s
house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at
every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. 14 And Abimelech
took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto
Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. 15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land
is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. 16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I
have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering
of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his
maidservants; and they bare children. 18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the
wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
Genesis 21
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he
had spoken. 2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the
set time of which God had spoken to him. 3 And Abraham called the name of his
son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. 4 And Abraham
circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 And
Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. 6 And
Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. 7
And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given
children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age. 8 And the child grew, and
was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was
weaned. 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto
Abraham, mocking. 10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman
and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even
with Isaac. 11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his
son. 12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of
the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee,
hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. 13 And also of the son
of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. 14 And Abraham
rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it
unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she
departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. 15 And the water was
spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 16 And she
went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for
she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and
lift up her voice, and wept. 17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of
God called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear
not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18 Arise, lift up the lad,
and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. 19 And God opened
her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with
water, and gave the lad drink. 20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and
dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of
Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 22 And it came to
pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake
unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest: 23 Now therefore
swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my
son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto
thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. 24 And
Abraham said, I will swear. 25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well
of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away. 26 And Abimelech
said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet
heard I of it, but to day. 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them
unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. 28 And Abraham set seven
ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What
mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 30 And he said,
For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness
unto me, that I have digged this well. 31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba;
because there they sware both of them. 32 Thus they made a covenant at
Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and
they returned into the land of the Philistines. 33 And Abraham planted a grove in
Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God. 34 And
Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.
Genesis 22
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said
unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. 2 And he said, Take now thy
son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah;
and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell
thee of. 3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took
two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the
burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. 4
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 5 And
Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad
will go yonder and worship, and come again to you, 6 And Abraham took the wood
of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his
hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. 7 And Isaac spake unto
Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he
said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so
they went both of them together. 9 And they came to the place which God had told
him of; and 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. 10 And Abraham stretched
forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11 And the angel of the LORD
called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am
I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto
him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son,
thine only son from me. 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold
behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the
ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 14 And
Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In
the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. 15 And the angel of the LORD called unto
Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith
the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son,
thine only son: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will
multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the
sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed
shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 19
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to
Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. 20 And it came to pass after these
things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born
children unto thy brother Nahor; 21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and
Kemuel the father of Aram, 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and
Bethuel. 23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor,
Abraham’s brother. 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also
Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Genesis 23
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years
of the life of Sarah. 2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is Hebron in the
land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. 3 And
Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 4
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace
with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. 5 And the children of Heth
answered Abraham, saying unto him, 6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince
among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold
from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. 7 And Abraham stood
up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. 8
And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my
dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, 9
That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of
his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a
buryingplace amongst you. 10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and
Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even
of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, 11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the
field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the
sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead. 12 And Abraham bowed down
himself before the people of the land. 13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience
of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I
will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. 14
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, 15 My lord, hearken unto me: the
land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee?
bury therefore thy dead. 16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham
weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of
Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant. 17 And the
field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and
the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all
the borders round about, were made sure 18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the
presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. 19
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah
before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. 20 And the field, and the
cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a
buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
Genesis 24
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed
Abraham in all things. 2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house,
that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: 3 And I
will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth,
that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites,
among whom I dwell: 4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and
take a wife unto my son Isaac. 5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the
woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son
again unto the land from whence thou camest? 6 And Abraham said unto him,
Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. 7 The LORD God of heaven,
which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and
which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give
this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my
son from thence. 8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou
shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again. 9 And the
servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him
concerning that matter. 10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his
master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he
arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. 11 And he made his
camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the
evening, even the time that women go out to draw water. 12 And he said, O LORD
God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew
kindness unto my master Abraham. 13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water;
and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 14 And let it
come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray
thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink
also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and
thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 15 And it
came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who
was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her
pitcher upon her shoulder. 16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin,
neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her
pitcher, and came up. 17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray
thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she
hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 19 And when
she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until
they have done drinking. 20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the
trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. 21
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made
his journey prosperous or not. 22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done
drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two
bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold; 23 And said, Whose daughter
art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge
in? 24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which
she bare unto Nahor. 25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and
provender enough, and room to lodge in. 26 And the man bowed down his head,
and worshipped the LORD. 27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master
Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being
in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren. 28 And the
damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house these things. 29 And Rebekah had
a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the
well. 30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his
sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus
spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the
camels at the well. 31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore
standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. 32
And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw
and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that
were with him. 33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not
eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on. 34 And he said, I am
Abraham’s servant. 35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is
become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and
menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses. 36 And Sarah my master’s
wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all
that he hath. 37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife
to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: 38 But thou
shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. 40 And
he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and
prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my
father’s house: 41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to
my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 42 And
I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if
now thou do prosper my way which I go; 43 Behold, I stand by the well of water;
and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I
say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink; 44 And she
say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be
the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master’s son. 45 And before
I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on
her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto
her, Let me drink, I pray thee. 46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher
from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I
drank, and she made the camels drink also. 47 And I asked her, and said, Whose
daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom
Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon
her hands. 48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed
the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take
my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son. 49 And now if ye will deal kindly and
truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right
hand, or to the left. 50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing
proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. 51 Behold,
Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as
the LORD hath spoken. 52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant
heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth. 53 And
the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and
gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious
things. 54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and
tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto
my master. 55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a
few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go. 56 And he said unto them, Hinder
me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to
my master. 57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth. 58
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she
said, I will go. 59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and
Abraham’s servant, and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her,
Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed
possess the gate of those which hate them. 61 And Rebekah arose, and her
damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant
took Rebekah, and went his way. 62 And Isaac came from the way of the well
Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country. 63 And Isaac went out to meditate in
the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the
camels were coming. 64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac,
she lighted off the camel. 65 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this
that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master:
therefore she took a vail, and covered herself. 66 And the servant told Isaac all
things that he had done. 67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent,
and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was
comforted after his mother’s death.
Genesis 25
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 And she bare him
Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 And
Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and
Letushim, and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch,
and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 5 And Abraham
gave all that he had unto Isaac. 6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which
Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while
he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. 7 And these are the days of the
years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. 8
Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full
of years; and was gathered to his people. 9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried
him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,
which is before Mamre; 10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth:
there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. 11 And it came to pass after the
death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well
Lahai-roi. 12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom
Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham: 13 And these are the
names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the
firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 14 And
Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and
Kedemah: 16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their
towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. 17 And these
are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he
gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people. 18 And they dwelt
from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he
died in the presence of all his brethren. 19 And these are the generations of Isaac,
Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac: 20 And Isaac was forty years old when he
took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister
to Laban the Syrian. 21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was
barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I
thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 23 And the LORD said unto her, Two
nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy
bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder
shall serve the younger. 24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled,
behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red, all over like
an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 26 And after that came his
brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob:
and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. 27 And the boys grew:
and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man,
dwelling in tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but
Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and
he was faint: 30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red
pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. 31 And Jacob said,
Sell me this day thy birthright. 32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die:
and what profit shall this birthright do to me? 33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this
day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34 Then Jacob
gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up,
and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
Genesis 26
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of
Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And
the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land
which I shall tell thee of: 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will
bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I
will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 And I will make thy
seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these
countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because
that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my
statutes, and my laws. 6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: 7 And the men of the place
asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is
my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because
she was fair to look upon. 8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long
time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and,
behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. 9 And Abimelech called Isaac,
and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my
sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. 10 And
Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might
lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his
wife shall surely be put to death. 12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in
the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. 13 And the man waxed
great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 For he had
possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the
Philistines envied him. 15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in
the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them
with earth. 16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much
mightier than we. 17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley
of Gerar, and dwelt there. 18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they
had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the philistines had stopped them
after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which
his father had called them. 19 And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found
there a well of springing water. 20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s
herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek;
because they strove with him. 21 And they digged another well, and strove for that
also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. 22 And he removed from thence, and
digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it
Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be
fruitful in the land. 23 And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. 24 And the LORD
appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father:
fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my
servant Abraham’s sake. 25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the
name of the LORD and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a
well. 26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends,
and Phichol the chief captain of his army. 27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore
come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? 28 And they
said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now
an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with
thee; 29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have
done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now
the blessed of the LORD. 30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac
sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. 32 And it came to pass the
same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they
had digged, and said unto him, We have found water. 33 And he called it Shebah:
therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day. 34 And Esau was forty
years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and
Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: 35 Which were a grief of mind unto
Isaac and to Rebekah.
Genesis 27
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he
could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he
said unto him, Behold, here am I. 2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not
the day of my death: 3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver
and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; 4 And make me
savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may
bless thee before I die. 5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son.
And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 6 And Rebekah
spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy
brother, saying, 7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat,
and bless thee before the LORD before my death. 8 Now therefore, my son, obey
my voice according to that which I command thee. 9 Go now to the flock, and fetch
me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for
thy father, such as he loveth: 10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may
eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. 11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his
mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: 12 My
father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall
bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 13 And his mother said unto him, Upon
me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. 14 And he
went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury
meat, such as his father loved. 15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest
son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger
son: 16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the
smooth of his neck: 17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she
had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. 18 And he came unto his father, and
said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? 19 And Jacob said
unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me:
arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. 20 And
Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And
he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. 21 And Isaac said unto Jacob,
Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very
son Esau or not. 22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and
said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. 23 And he
discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so
he blessed him. 24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. 25
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul
may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him
wine, and he drank. 26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and
kiss me, my son. 27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell
of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell
of a field which the LORD hath blessed: 28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of
heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: 29 Let people
serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy
mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and
blessed be he that blesseth thee. 30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had
made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the
presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31 And
he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his
father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless
me. 32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy
son, thy firstborn Esau. 33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who?
where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all
before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed. 34 And
when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding
bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. 35 And he
said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. 36 And he
said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times:
he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing.
And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? 37 And Isaac answered and
said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given
to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I
do now unto thee, my son? 38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one
blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his
voice, and wept. 39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy
dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; 40
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to
pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off
thy neck. 41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father
blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at
hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. 42 And these words of Esau her elder son
were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said
unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself,
purposing to kill thee. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee
thou to Laban my brother to Haran; 44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy
brother’s fury turn away; 45 Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he
forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from
thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day? 46 And Rebekah said
to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a
wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the
land, what good shall my life do me?
Genesis 28
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him,
Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 2 Arise, go to Padan-aram,
to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of
the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother. 3 And God Almighty bless thee, and
make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 4
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that
thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto
Abraham. 5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban,
son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother. 6
When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram,
to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge,
saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; 7 And that Jacob
obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram; 8 And Esau seeing
that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; 9 Then went Esau unto
Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael
Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife. 10 And Jacob went out from
Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. 11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and
tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that
place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he
dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to
heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 13 And,
behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy
father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and
to thy seed; 14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt
spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south:
and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 And,
behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will
bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that
which I have spoken to thee of. 16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said,
Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 17 And he was afraid, and said,
How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the
gate of heaven. 18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that
he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of
it. 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was
called Luz at the first. 20 And Jacob vowed 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 raiment
to put on, 21 So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the
LORD be my God: 22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s
house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Genesis 29
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of
sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone
was upon the well’s mouth. 3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they
rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone
again upon the well’s mouth in his place. 4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren,
whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. 5 And he said unto them, Know ye
Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 6 And he said unto them, Is
he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with
the sheep. 7 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle
should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 8 And
they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the
stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep. 9 And while he yet spake
with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them. 10 And it came
to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and
the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the
stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12 And Jacob told
Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she
ran and told her father. 13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of
Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him,
and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 14 And Laban
said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the
space of a month. 15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother,
shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? 16
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of
the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and
well favoured. 18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years
for Rachel thy younger daughter. 19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to
thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 20 And Jacob
served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the
love he had to her. 21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days
are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 22 And Laban gathered together all the men
of the place, and made a feast. 23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took
Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. 24 And Laban
gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid. 25 And it came to
pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this
thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast
thou beguiled me? 26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to
give the younger before the firstborn. 27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this
also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 28 And
Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife
also. 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her
maid. 30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than
Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 31 And when the LORD saw that
Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 32 And Leah
conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely
the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath
heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called
his name Simeon. 34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this
time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons:
therefore was his name called Levi. 35 And she conceived again, and bare a son:
and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and
left bearing.
Genesis 30
And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister;
and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. 2 And Jacob’s anger was
kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from
thee the fruit of the womb? 3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her;
and she shall bear upon my knees that I may also have children by her. 4 And she
gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. 5 And Bilhah
conceived, and bare Jacob a son. 6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath
also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. 8 And
Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have
prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. 9 When Leah saw that she had left
bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. 10 And Zilpah Leah’s
maid bare Jacob a son. 11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name
Gad. 12 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a second son. 13 And Leah said, Happy
am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher. 14 And
Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and
brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray
thee, of thy son’s mandrakes. 15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that
thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s mandrakes
also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son’s
mandrakes. 16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out
to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee
with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. 17 And God hearkened
unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. 18 And Leah said, God
hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she
called his name Issachar. 19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth
son. 20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my
husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name
Zebulun. 21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. 22 And
God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 23 And
she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: 24
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban,
Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. 26 Give me
my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou
knowest my service which I have done thee. 27 And Laban said unto him, I pray
thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience
that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. 28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages,
and I will give it. 29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee,
and how thy cattle was with me. 30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came,
and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my
coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? 31 And he said,
What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou
wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock: 32 I will pass through
all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and
all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the
goats: and of such shall be my hire. 33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in
time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not
speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be
counted stolen with me. 34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according
to thy word. 35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and
spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that
had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the
hand of his sons. 36 And he set three days journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and
Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks. 37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar,
and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the
white appear which was in the rods. 38 And he set the rods which he had pilled
before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to
drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. 39 And the flocks
conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and
spotted. 40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks
toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own
flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban’s cattle. 41 And it came to pass,
whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the
eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. 42 But
when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and
the stronger Jacob’s. 43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle,
and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
Genesis 31
And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that
was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory. 2
And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as
before. 3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to
thy kindred; and I will be with thee. 4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah
to the field unto his flock, 5 And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance,
that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. 6
And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. 7 And your father
hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to
hurt me. 8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare
speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the
cattle ringstraked. 9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given
them to me. 10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I
lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon
the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled. 11 And the angel of God spake
unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lift up
now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked,
speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. 13 I am the
God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow
unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy
kindred. 14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any
portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house? 15 Are we not counted of him
strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 16 For all
the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s:
now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 17 Then Jacob rose up, and set
his sons and his wives upon camels; 18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all
his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in
Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 19 And Laban went
to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s. 20 And
Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he
fled. 21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river,
and set his face toward the mount Gilead. 22 And it was told Laban on the third day
that Jacob was fled. 23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him
seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 24 And God came
to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou
speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob
had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the
mount of Gilead. 26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast
stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken
with the sword? 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from
me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with
songs, with tabret, and with harp? 28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and
my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 29 It is in the power of my
hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight,
saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 30 And
now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy
father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? 31 And Jacob answered
and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest
take by force thy daughters from me. 32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods,
let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take
it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. 33 And Laban went into
Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he
found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent. 34
Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat
upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. 35 And she said
to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the
custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images. 36 And
Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban,
What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 37
Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household
stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge
betwixt us both. 38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she
goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 39
That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my
hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. 40 Thus I
was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep
departed from mine eyes. 41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served
thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou
hast changed my wages ten times. 42 Except the God of my father, the God of
Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me
away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and
rebuked thee yesternight. 43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These
daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle
are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto
these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? 44 Now therefore
come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between
me and thee. 45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 46 And Jacob said
unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and
they did eat there upon the heap. 47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but
Jacob called it Galeed. 48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and
thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; 49 And Mizpah; for he
said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from
another. 50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives
beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have
cast betwixt me and thee; 52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I
will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap
and this pillar unto me, for harm. 53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor,
the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father
Isaac. 54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to
eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. 55 And early
in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed
them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Genesis 32
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2 And when Jacob saw
them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir,
the country of Edom. 4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto
my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and
stayed there until now: 5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants,
and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy
sight. 6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother
Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 7 Then
Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with
him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands; 8 And said, If Esau
come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall
escape. 9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father
Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy
kindred, and I will deal well with thee: 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the
mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my
staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. 11 Deliver me, I
pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest
he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children. 12 And thou saidst, I
will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot
be numbered for multitude. 13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of
that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; 14 Two hundred she
goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, 15 Thirty milch
camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves;
and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove
and drove. 17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother
meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou?
and whose are these before thee? 18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant
Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the
droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him. 20 And
say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will
appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his
face; peradventure he will accept of me. 21 So went the present over before him:
and himself lodged that night in the company. 22 And he rose up that night, and
took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed
over the ford Jabbok. 23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent
over that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him
until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against
him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of
joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh.
And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him,
What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no
more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men,
and hast prevailed. 29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy
name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he
blessed him there. 30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have
seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 31 And as he passed over Penuel
the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 32 Therefore the children of
Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh,
unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that
shrank.
Genesis 33
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him
four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and
unto the two handmaids. 2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost,
and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. 3 And he
passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he
came near to his brother. 4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell
on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. 5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw
the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The
children which God hath graciously given thy servant. 6 Then the handmaidens
came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. 7 And Leah also
with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near
and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 8 And he said, What meanest thou by all
this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my
lord. 9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then
receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had
seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. 11 Take, I pray thee, my
blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and
because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it. 12 And he said, Let us
take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. 13 And he said unto him,
My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young
are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. 14 Let
my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly,
according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure,
until I come unto my lord unto Seir. 15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee
some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace
in the sight of my lord. 16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. 17 And
Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his
cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. 18 And Jacob came to
Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from
Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city. 19 And he bought a parcel of a
field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor,
Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money. 20 And he erected there an
altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
Genesis 34
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the
daughters of the land. 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of
the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. 3 And his soul
clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly
unto the damsel. 4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this
damsel to wife. 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his
sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were
come. 6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with
him. 7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men
were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in
lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done. 8 And Hamor
communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your
daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. 9 And make ye marriages with us, and
give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 10 And ye shall
dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and
get you possessions therein. 11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her
brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say
unto me: but give me the damsel to wife. 13 And the sons of Jacob answered
Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah
their sister: 14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister
to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us: 15 But in this will
we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be
circumcised; 16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your
daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 17 But
if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter,
and we will be gone. 18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in
Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father. 20
And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed
with the men of their city, saying, 21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore
let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large
enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them
our daughters. 22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to
be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised. 23
Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only
let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. 24 And unto Hamor and unto
Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every
male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city. 25 And it came to
pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon
and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city
boldly, and slew all the males. 26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with
the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out. 27
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had
defiled their sister. 28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and
that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, 29 And all their wealth,
and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that
was in the house. 30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to
make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and
the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together
against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. 31 And they
said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
Genesis 35
And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there
an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of
Esau thy brother. 2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with
him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change
your garments: 3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an
altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in
the way which I went. 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were
in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them
under the oak which was by Shechem. 5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God
was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the
sons of Jacob. 6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is,
Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. 7 And he built there an altar, and
called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled
from the face of his brother. 8 But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was
buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth. 9
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and
blessed him. 10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be
called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation
and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; 12
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy
seed after thee will I give the land. 13 And God went up from him in the place
where he talked with him. 14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked
with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he
poured oil thereon. 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake
with him, Bethel. 16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way
to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. 17 And it came
to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not;
thou shalt have this son also. 18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing,
(for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him
Benjamin. 19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is
Bethlehem. 20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s
grave unto this day. 21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower
of Edar. 22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went
and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of
Jacob were twelve: 23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon,
and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph,
and Benjamin: 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 26
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of
Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram. 27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his
father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and
Isaac sojourned. 28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. 29
And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being
old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Genesis 36
Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 2 Esau took his wives of the
daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the
daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 3 And Bashemath Ishmael’s
daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 4 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath
bare Reuel; 5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the
sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. 6 And Esau took his
wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his
cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of
Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. 7 For their
riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they
were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. 8 Thus dwelt Esau in
mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of
the Edomites in mount Seir: 10 These are the names of Esau’s sons; Eliphaz the
son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. 11 And
the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 And
Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these
were the sons of Adah Esau’s wife. 13 And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and
Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife. 14
And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of
Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. 15 These
were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke
Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, 16 Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and
duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these
were the sons of Adah. 17 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau’s son; duke
Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came
of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife. 18 And
these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau’s wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke
Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah,
Esau’s wife. 19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.
20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and
Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, 21 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the
dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 22 And the children
of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23 And the children
of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 24 And
these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that
found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. 25 And
the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. 26
And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and
Cheran. 27 The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. 28 The
children of Dishan are these: Uz, and Aran. 29 These are the dukes that came of
the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, 30 Duke Dishon,
duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes
in the land of Seir. 31 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom,
before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. 32 And Bela the son of
Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 33 And Bela died,
and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. 34 And Jobab died, and
Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead. 35 And Husham died, and
Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his
stead: and the name of his city was Avith. 36 And Hadad died, and Samlah of
Masrekah reigned in his stead. 37 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the
river reigned in his stead. 38 And Saul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor
reigned in his stead. 39 And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned
in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel,
the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. 40 And these are the names of
the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their
names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, 41 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah,
duke Pinon, 42 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, 43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram:
these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their
possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.
Genesis 37
And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of
Canaan. 2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old,
was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah,
and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father
their evil report. 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he
was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. 4 And when
his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated
him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. 5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and
he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 6 And he said unto them,
Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 7 For, behold, we were binding
sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold,
your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his
brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have
dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his
words. 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said,
Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the
eleven stars made obeisance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to his
brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that
thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow
down ourselves to thee to the earth? 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father
observed the saying. 12 And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in
Shechem. 13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in
Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I. 14
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and
well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of
Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he
was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 16
And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to
Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. 18 And
when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired
against him to slay him. 19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer
cometh. 20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit,
and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will
become of his dreams. 21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their
hands; and said, Let us not kill him. 22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood,
but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that
he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again. 23 And it
came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph
out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him; 24 And they took him,
and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 25 And
they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold,
a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and
balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 26 And Judah said unto his
brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 27 Come,
and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is
our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. 28 Then there passed by
Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and
sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph
into Egypt. 29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in
the pit; and he rent his clothes. 30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said,
The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? 31 And they took Joseph’s coat, and
killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; 32 And they sent the
coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we
found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or no. 33 And he knew it, and said, It
is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in
pieces. 34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and
mourned for his son many days. 35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to
comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into
the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. 36 And the
Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of
the guard.
Genesis 38
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and
turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there a
daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and
went in unto her. 3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan. 5 And
she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was
at Chezib, when she bare him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose
name was Tamar. 7 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD;
and the LORD slew him. 8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife,
and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 9 And Onan knew that the seed
should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife,
that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10 And
the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. 11 Then
said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till
Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his
brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house. 12 And in process of
time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went
up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to
shear his sheep. 14 And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered
her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way
to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to
wife. 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had
covered her face. 16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray
thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in
law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? 17
And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me
a pledge, till thou send it? 18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she
said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave
it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him. 19 And she arose, and
went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her
widowhood. 20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to
receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not. 21 Then he asked
the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way
side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place. 22 And he returned to Judah,
and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no
harlot in this place. 23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed:
behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. 24 And it came to pass about
three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath
played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah
said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. 25 When she was brought forth, she sent
to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she
said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff. 26
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I;
because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. 27
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her
womb. 28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand:
and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came
out first, 29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his
brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon
thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. 30 And afterward came out his brother,
that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
Genesis 39
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh,
captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites,
which had brought him down thither. 2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was
a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his
master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to
prosper in his hand. 4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and
he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house,
and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s
sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in
the field. 6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he
had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well
favoured. 7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her
eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and said unto his
master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he
hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9 There is none greater in this house
than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his
wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10 And it came
to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie
by her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went
into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house
there within. 12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he
left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 13 And it came to pass,
when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14 That
she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath
brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and
I cried with a loud voice: 15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my
voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out. 16 And
she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. 17 And she spake unto
him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast
brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: 18 And it came to pass, as I lifted
up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out. 19 And it
came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto
him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the
king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 21 But the LORD was
with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the
keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand
all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was
the doer of it. 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under
his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made
it to prosper.
Genesis 40
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his
baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. 2 And Pharaoh was wroth against
two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the
bakers. 3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into
the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 4 And the captain of the guard
charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in
ward. 5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night,
each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of
the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison. 6 And Joseph came in unto them
in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. 7 And he asked
Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying,
Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? 8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a
dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not
interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. 9 And the chief butler told
his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10 And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her
blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes: 11 And
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into
Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand. 12 And Joseph said unto
him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days: 13 Yet
within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place:
and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when
thou wast his butler. 14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew
kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring
me out of this house: 15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the
Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the
dungeon. 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said
unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on
my head: 17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for
Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. 18 And
Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are
three days: 19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee,
and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. 20
And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a
feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the
chief baker among his servants. 21 And he restored the chief butler unto his
butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand: 22 But he hanged the
chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet did not the chief butler
remember Joseph, but forgat him.
Genesis 41
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and,
behold, he stood by the river. 2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven
well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. 3 And, behold, seven
other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and
stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river. 4 And the ill favoured and
leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh
awoke. 5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of
corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good. 6 And, behold, seven thin ears and
blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. 7 And the seven thin ears
devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a
dream. 8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he
sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and
Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto
Pharaoh. 9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my
faults this day: 10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the
captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker: 11 And we dreamed a
dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the
interpretation of his dream. 12 And there was there with us a young man, an
Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted
to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret. 13 And it
came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office,
and him he hanged. 14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him
hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and
came in unto Pharaoh. 15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream,
and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou
canst understand a dream to interpret it. 16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying,
It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. 17 And Pharaoh said
unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: 18 And,
behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured;
and they fed in a meadow: 19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them,
poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of
Egypt for badness: 20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first
seven fat kine: 21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that
they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I
awoke. 22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk,
full and good: 23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east
wind, sprung up after them: 24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears:
and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed
Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the
seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. 27 And the seven thin and ill
favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears
blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. 28 This is the thing which
I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. 29
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: 30
And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be
forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; 31 And the
plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall
be very grievous. 32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is
because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 33
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the
land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land,
and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. 35 And
let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under
the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. 36 And that food shall be
for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land
of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine. 37 And the thing was good in
the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh said unto
his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this,
there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: 40 Thou shalt be over my house,
and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I
be greater than thou. 41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over
all the land of Egypt. 42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it
upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain
about his neck; 43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had;
and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land
of Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no
man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s
name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah
priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. 46 And Joseph
was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went
out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. 47
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. 48 And he
gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and
laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every
city, laid he up in the same. 49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea,
very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. 50 And unto Joseph
were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter
of Poti- pherah priest of On bare unto him. 51 And Joseph called the name of the
firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my
father’s house. 52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath
caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. 53 And the seven years of
plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. 54 And the seven years
of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all
lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 And when all the land of
Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto
all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. 56 And the famine was
over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold
unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. 57 And all
countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was
so sore in all lands.
Genesis 42
Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why
do ye look one upon another? 2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is
corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live,
and not die. 3 And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. 4 But
Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest
peradventure mischief befall him. 5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among
those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 6 And Joseph was the
governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and
Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces
to the earth. 7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself
strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence
come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food. 8 And Joseph knew
his brethren, but they knew not him. 9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which
he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of
the land ye are come. 10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are
thy servants come. 11 We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants
are no spies. 12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land
ye are come. 13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one
man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father,
and one is not. 14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you,
saying, Ye are spies: 15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall
not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither. 16 Send one of you,
and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may
be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely
ye are spies. 17 And he put them all together into ward three days. 18 And Joseph
said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God: 19 If ye be true
men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry
corn for the famine of your houses: 20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so
shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so. 21 And they said
one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the
anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this
distress come upon us. 22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto
you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore,
behold, also his blood is required. 23 And they knew not that Joseph understood
them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter. 24 And he turned himself about
from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and
took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes. 25 Then Joseph
commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his
sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them. 26 And
they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence. 27 And as one of them
opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for,
behold, it was in his sack’s mouth. 28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is
restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were
afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us? 29 And they
came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell
unto them; saying, 30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us,
and took us for spies of the country. 31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we
are no spies: 32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the
youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan. 33 And the man, the lord
of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one
of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households,
and be gone: 34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that
ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and
ye shall traffick in the land. 35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks,
that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they
and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid. 36 And Jacob their
father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and
Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me. 37
And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to
thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again. 38 And he said,
My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if
mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my
gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
Genesis 43
And the famine was sore in the land. 2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten
up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go
again, buy us a little food. 3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did
solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be
with you. 4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee
food: 5 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto
us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. 6 And Israel said,
Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying,
Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the
tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your
brother down? 8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and
we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also
our little ones. 9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I
bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for
ever: 10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the
best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little
balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds: 12 And take double
money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your
sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight: 13 Take also
your brother, and arise, go again unto the man: 14 And God Almighty give you
mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin.
If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved. 15 And the men took that present,
and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went
down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. 16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with
them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make
ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon. 17 And the man did as Joseph
bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house. 18 And the men were
afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of
the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that
he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and
our asses. 19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they
communed with him at the door of the house, 20 And said, O sir, we came indeed
down at the first time to buy food: 21 And it came to pass, when we came to the
inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth
of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand. 22
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell
who put our money in our sacks. 23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your
God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your
money. And he brought Simeon out unto them. 24 And the man brought the men
into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he
gave their asses provender. 25 And they made ready the present against Joseph
came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there. 26 And when Joseph
came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house,
and bowed themselves to him to the earth. 27 And he asked them of their welfare,
and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive? 28
And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And
they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance. 29 And he lifted up his eyes,
and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your younger
brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my
son. 30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he
sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there. 31 And he
washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread. 32
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the
Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might
not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians. 33
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest
according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another. 34 And he took and
sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so
much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
Genesis 44
And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with
food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth. 2
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn
money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. 3 As soon as the
morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. 4 And when they
were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up,
follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them,
Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? 5 Is not this it in which my lord
drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing. 6 And he
overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words. 7 And they said unto
him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do
according to this thing: 8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths,
we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal
out of thy lord’s house silver or gold? 9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be
found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen. 10 And he said,
Now also let it be according unto your words; he with whom it is found shall be my
servant; and ye shall be blameless. 11 Then they speedily took down every man his
sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. 12 And he searched, and
began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s
sack. 13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to
the city. 14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet
there: and they fell before him on the ground. 15 And Joseph said unto them, What
deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly
divine? 16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak?
or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants:
behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is
found. 17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand
the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto
your father. 18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy
servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn
against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh. 19 My lord asked his servants,
saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? 20 And we said unto my lord, We have a
father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead,
and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him. 21 And thou saidst
unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. 22
And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave
his father, his father would die. 23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your
youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. 24 And it
came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words
of my lord. 25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food. 26 And we
said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go
down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.
27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two
sons: 28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and
I saw him not since: 29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him,
ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. 30 Now therefore when
I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is
bound up in the lad’s life; 31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is
not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of
thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. 32 For thy servant became surety
for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear
the blame to my father for ever. 33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his
brethren. 34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest
peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Genesis 45
Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he
cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him,
while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. 2 And he wept aloud: and the
Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. 3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I
am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for
they were troubled at his presence. 4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come
near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your
brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with
yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve
life. 6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five
years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. 7 And God sent me
before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a
great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he
hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler
throughout all the land of Egypt. 9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto
him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down
unto me, tarry not: 10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt
be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy
flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: 11 And there will I nourish thee; for
yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou
hast, come to poverty. 12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother
Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. 13 And ye shall tell my
father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and
bring down my father hither. 14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and
wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren,
and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him. 16 And the fame
thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it
pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto
thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of
Canaan; 18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I
will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land. 19
Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for
your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come. 20 Also
regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. 21 And the
children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the
commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way. 22 To all of them
he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred
pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment. 23 And to his father he sent after this
manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden
with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way. 24 So he sent his brethren
away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the
way. 25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto
Jacob their father, 26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor
over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not. 27
And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when
he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their
father revived: 28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will
go and see him before I die.
Genesis 46
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and
offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. 2 And God spake unto Israel in
the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. 3 And he
said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will
there make of thee a great nation: 4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will
also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 5
And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their
father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent
to carry him. 6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten
in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him: 7 His
sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all
his seed brought he with him into Egypt. 8 And these are the names of the children
of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn. 9
And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi. 10 And the
sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul
the son of a Canaanitish woman. 11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and
Merari. 12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and
Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were
Hezron and Hamul. 13 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and
Shimron. 14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These be the
sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padan-aram, with his daughter Dinah:
all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three. 16 And the sons of
Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli. 17 And the
sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister:
and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel. 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom
Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen
souls. 19 The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph, and Benjamin. 20 And unto
Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the
daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him. 21 And the sons of Benjamin
were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim,
and Huppim, and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob:
all the souls were fourteen. 23 And the sons of Dan; Hushim. 24 And the sons of
Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem. 25 These are the sons of
Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto
Jacob: all the souls were seven. 26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt,
which came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were
threescore and six; 27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were
two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were
threescore and ten. 28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face
unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 29 And Joseph made ready
his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented
himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. 30
And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because
thou art yet alive. 31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s
house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my
father’s house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; 32 And the
men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought
their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. 33 And it shall come to pass,
when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? 34 That ye
shall say, Thy servants’ trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until
now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for
every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Genesis 47
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and
their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of
Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen. 2 And he took some of his
brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh. 3 And Pharaoh said
unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy
servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers. 4 They said moreover unto
Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture
for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we
pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. 5 And Pharaoh spake unto
Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee: 6 The land of
Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell;
in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity
among them, then make them rulers over my cattle. 7 And Joseph brought in Jacob
his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 8 And Pharaoh
said unto Jacob, How old art thou? 9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the
years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the
days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years
of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. 10 And Jacob blessed
Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. 11 And Joseph placed his father and
his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the
land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. 12 And Joseph nourished
his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according
to their families. 13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very
sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the
famine. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph
brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. 15 And when money failed in the land of
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said,
Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth. 16 And
Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 17
And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in
exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the
asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year. 18 When that
year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will
not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds
of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our
lands: 19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us
and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and
give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate. 20 And
Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man
his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s.
21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of
Egypt even to the other end thereof. 22 Only the land of the priests bought he not;
for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion
which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands. 23 Then Joseph said
unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo,
here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. 24 And it shall come to pass in the
increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your
own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and
for food for your little ones. 25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find
grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants. 26 And Joseph
made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the
fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh’s. 27 And
Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had
possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly. 28 And Jacob lived in
the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty
and seven years. 29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his
son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray
thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I
pray thee, in Egypt: 30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of
Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself
upon the bed’s head.
Genesis 48
And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is
sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2 And one told
Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened
himself, and sat upon the bed. 3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty
appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 4 And said unto
me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a
multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting
possession. 5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto
thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben
and Simeon, they shall be mine. 6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them,
shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their
inheritance. 7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the
land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto
Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem. 8
And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these? 9 And Joseph said unto
his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said,
Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them. 10 Now the eyes of Israel
were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him;
and he kissed them, and embraced them. 11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not
thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed. 12 And Joseph
brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to
the earth. 13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s
left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought
them near unto him. 14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon
Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head,
guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. 15 And he blessed
Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the
God which fed me all my life long unto this day, 16 The Angel which redeemed me
from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of
my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of
the earth. 17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head
of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from
Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head. 18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so,
my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. 19 And his
father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a
people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater
than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 20 And he blessed them
that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and
as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. 21 And Israel said unto Joseph,
Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your
fathers. 22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I
took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
Genesis 49
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may
tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together,
and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 3 Reuben, thou
art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of
dignity, and the excellency of power: 4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel;
because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to
my couch. 5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their
habitations. 6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly,
mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their
selfwill they digged down a wall. 7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and
their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck
of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. 9 Judah is a
lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he
couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall
not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come;
and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 11 Binding his foal unto the vine,
and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his
clothes in the blood of grapes: 12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth
white with milk. 13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for
an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon. 14 Issachar is a strong ass
couching down between two burdens: 15 And he saw that rest was good, and the
land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant
unto tribute. 16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. 17 Dan
shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so
that his rider shall fall backward. 18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. 19
Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. 20 Out of Asher
his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. 21 Naphtali is a hind let
loose: he giveth goodly words. 22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough
by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 23 The archers have sorely grieved
him, and shot at him, and hated him: 24 But his bow abode in strength, and the
arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob;
(from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) 25 Even by the God of thy
father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with
blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the
breasts, and of the womb: 26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the
blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they
shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was
separate from his brethren. 27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he
shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. 28 All these are the
twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed
them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. 29 And he charged
them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my
fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 30 In the cave that is in
the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which
Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a
buryingplace. 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried
Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. 32 The purchase of the field
and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth. 33 And when Jacob
had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed,
and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
Genesis 50
And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. 2 And
Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the
physicians embalmed Israel. 3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are
fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him
threescore and ten days. 4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph
spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes,
speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 5 My father made me swear,
saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan,
there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my
father, and I will come again. 6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father,
according as he made thee swear. 7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and
with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the
elders of the land of Egypt, 8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his
father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in
the land of Goshen. 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and
it was a very great company. 10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which
is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation:
and he made a mourning for his father seven days. 11 And when the inhabitants of
the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a
grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim,
which is beyond Jordan. 12 And his sons did unto him according as he
commanded them: 13 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried
him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for
a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. 14 And Joseph
returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his
father, after he had buried his father. 15 And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their
father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly
requite us all the evil which we did unto him. 16 And they sent a messenger unto
Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 17 So shall ye say
unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin;
for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the
servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 18
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold,
we be thy servants. 19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place
of God? 20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good,
to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 21 Now therefore fear
ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake
kindly unto them. 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and
Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of
the third generation: the children also of Machir the son Manasseh were brought up
upon Joseph’s knees. 24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will
surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of
Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from
hence. 26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed
him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
GEN 3:1-24. Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
GEN 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
GEN 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
GEN 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
GEN 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
GEN 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
GEN 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they
[were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

his heel.

unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou
[art], and unto dust shalt thou return.
