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,
**
I am
the
God
of
Abraham
thy father:
***
whom
God hath given me in
this place.
**
and
the
darkness
he
called
Night.
***
And
he
said,
Bring
them,
I pray thee,
unto me,
and
I will bless them.
**
***
And God
said,
Let the waters
under
the heaven
be gathered
together unto
one
place
**
And
a river went out
of
Eden
to water the garden;
**
And
Cain
went out
from
the presence of the Lord,
***
And God
blessed them,
saying,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply
in
the earth.
**
sin
lieth
at the
door.
***
And
Lot
went out
at the door
unto them,
**
And
Lot went out,
and
spake
unto
his sons
in
law,
**
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;
***
And
Isaac
went
out
to
meditate in the field
at
the
eventide:
*
And
Jacob
went
out
from Beersheba,
and
Leah
went out
to
meet him,
And Dinah the daughter of Leah,
which
she
bare unto
Jacob,
went out
to
see
the
daughters
of
the land.
**
And Hamor
the
father
of
**
God
created
he
him;
male and female
created
he
them.
***
Shechem
went
out
unto Jacob
to
commune
with him.
**
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.
And
Joseph
went
out
over
all
the
land
of Egypt.
And Joseph
went
out
from
the
presence
of Pharaoh,
and
went
throughout all
the
land
of Egypt.
***
And
Cush
begat Nimrod:
he
began
to be a mighty
one
in
the earth.
**
And
the whole earth was
of
one
language,
and
of
one
speech.
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.
Go to,
let
us go down,
and
there
confound
their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
So
the
Lord
scattered
them
abroad
from thence upon the face of all the earth:
and
they
left off to build
the city.
***
one
people,
if
every male
among
us
be
circumcised,
as
they
are
circumcised.
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.
**
And the rib,
which the Lord God
had taken from man,
made he a
woman,
**
And
Abram
and Nahor
took
them
wives:
the
name
of
Abram's wife
was
Sarai;
***
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.
***
because
I
was naked;
and I hid
myself.
**
And
Sarah
died
in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan:
and
Abraham came to mourn
for
Sarah,
and
to weep
for
her.
And Abraham stood
up from before his dead, and spake
unto the sons of Heth, saying,
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.
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,
***
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.
