****************
Who knoweth not
in all these that the hand of the
Lord hath wrought this? In whose
hand is the soul of every
living thing, and the breath of all
mankind.
And they said one to another,
Behold, this dreamer cometh.
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.
And he said, I heard thy
voice in the garden, and I was
afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
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.
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.
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and
his name was called Jacob
All
things come alike to all: there is
one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean,
and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth,
and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that
sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
We
the People
When in the course of human events, it
becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's
God entitle
them,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires
that
they
should declare the causes which impel them
to
the separation.
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,
Moreover
thou shalt provide out of all the people able men,
such as fear God,
men
of truth,
hating
covetousness;
and place such over
them,
to be rulers of thousands,
and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and
rulers of tens:
And
we
said unto him, We are true
men;
we
are no spies:
2.1 We
hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed
by their Creator
with certain inalienable
rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of heaven.
