Two sons XIII

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.
