****

And

Israel

beheld

Joseph's

sons,

**

Who are these

that

fly

as

a

cloud,

and

as the doves to their windows?

Surely the isles shall wait for me,

and

the ships of Tarshish first,

to bring thy sons from far,

their silver

and

their gold with them,

***

and

said,

Who are these?

And

Joseph

said

unto

his

father,

They

are my sons,

**

Whom

God

hath

given

me

in this

place.

**

And

what

one nation

in

the

earth

is

like thy people,

even like Israel,

whom God

went

to

redeem

for

a people to himself,

and

to

make him a name,

and

to do

for

you great things

and

terrible,

for

thy

land,

before

thy

people,

which thou redeemedst

to thee

from

Egypt,

from

the nations

and their gods?

***

How

shall

I

curse,

**

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.

**

Now

the

serpent

was

more

subtil

than

any beast

of

the

field

which

the

Lord God had made.

**

and

the

darkness

he

called Night.

**

And God

said,

Behold,

I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon   . . and every tree, in

the

which is the fruit of

a

tree

yielding seed;

to you

it

shall be for meat.

And

to

every

beast of the earth,

and

to

every fowl of the air,

. . . I have given every green herb

for

meat:

 and

it

was

so.

***

And

he

said

unto

the

workman,

Yea,

hath

God

said,

Ye

shall not eat

of

every tree                                                      

of

the

garden?

**

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.

And God

called

the

firmament

Heaven.

And

the

evening

and

the

morning

were

the

second day.

**

But

ye

should say,

Why

persecute

we

him,

seeing

**

And

God

said,

Let us

make man

in

 our image,

after

our

likeness:

*

So God

created man

in

his own

image,

in

the

image

of

God

created he him;

***

the

root

of

the

matter

is found in

me?

Be ye

afraid of the sword:

for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword,

that

ye

may

know

there

IS

a

judgment.
