And they began to be merry.
And
Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell
in tents, and of such as have cattle.
And
his brother's
name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle
the harp and organ.
*****
But the father said to his servants,
. . .
*****
And
the
Lord
God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he
- put - the man whom he
had
formed.
**
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his
father,
and told his two
brethren without.
**
And
Shem
and Japheth - took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and
went backward, and covered the nakedness
of - their father;
*****
Bring
forth
the best
robe, and put it on
him;
*****
And
Pharaoh
said unto Joseph, See, I have
set thee - over all the land of Egypt.
**
lest he put
forth his hand,
and take also
of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
**
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;
*****
and
put a ring on his hand,
*****
And
when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the
midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
And
he said, Draw not nigh hither:
put off thy - shoes from off thy
feet,
for the place where-on thou standest
is holy ground.
*****
and
shoes on
his feet:
*****
And
Abraham ran
unto
the herd,
and fetched a calf
tender
and
good, and gave it
unto a young man; and - he hasted to dress it.
**
But
in
the fourth
generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity
of
the Amorites is not yet full.
*****
And
bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it;
*****
There
is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth
according to the work of the wicked;
again,
there
be wicked men, to whom it happeneth
according to the work
of
the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
Then I
commended mirth, because
a man hath no better thing under the
sun,
than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his
labour the days
of
his life,
which God giveth him under the sun.
*****
and
let us eat, and be merry:
*****
and
it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel
his brother, and slew him.
*****
For
this
- my son was dead,
*****
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.
*****
and is alive again;
****
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.
**
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.
**
There-fore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
from whence he was taken.
**
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.
*****
he
was lost,
*****
And
a certain man found him, and, behold, he was
wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seek-est thou?
And
he said, I seek my
brethren:
tell me, I pray thee, where
they feed
- their flocks.
**
Now
the serpent was more subtil -
than any
beast of the field which the Lord God had made.
**
And
the man said, They are departed
hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Do-than. And Joseph went - after - his brethren, and found
them in Do-than.
And
when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them,
they conspired against him to slay him.
**
With
whomsoever of thy servants
it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
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.
*****
and
is found. And they began to be merry.
