371 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his 'father's sojournings', in the land of 2) Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought the evil report 3 of them unto their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a 4 coat of many colours. And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren; 'and' they hated him, and could not speak 5 peaceably unto him. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren and they hated him yet 6 the more. And he said unto them,

Hear, I pray you, this dream which I I have dreamed: °for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves Icame round about, and made obei8 sance to my sheaf. And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and (9 for his words. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven 10 stars made obeisance to me. °And he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee 11 to the earth? And his brethren en

vied him; but his father 'kept the 12 saying in mind'. And his brethren

went to feed their father's flock in 13 Shechem. 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 14 to him, Here am I. And he said to him, Go now', see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flock'; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What 16 seekest thou? And he said, I seek

my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding the flock. 17 And the man said, They are departed hence: for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found (18 them in Dothan. And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against 19 him to slay him. And they said one

to another, Behold, this "dreamer 20 cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into 'one of the pits, and we will say, 'An evil beast hath devoured him and we shall see what will become of (21 his dreams. And Reuben heard it,

and delivered him out of their 'hand'; and said, Let us not take his life'. (22 °And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, 'but' lay no hand upon him: that he might 'deliver him out of their 'hand', to restore him to (23 his father. "And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colours 24 that was on him; and they took him, and cast him into the pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in 25 it. And they sat down to eat bread:

and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a travelling! company of Ishmaelites' came from Gilead, with their camels bearing 'spicery and balm and myrrh, going 26 to carry it down to Egypt. And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal (27 his blood? °Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites', and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren 28 hearkened unto him'. And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into 29 Egypt. And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. 30 And he returned unto his brethren,

and said, The child is not; and I, 31 whither shall I go? And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a 'he-goat', and dipped the coat in the blood; 32 and they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's 33 coat or not. And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is 34 without doubt 'torn' in pieces. And

Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned 35 for his son many days. And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down to the grave to my son mourning. And his father wept for

36 him. And the "Midianites' sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.

And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in 3 unto her. And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name 4 Er. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name (5 Onan. And she yet again bare a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 °And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the 8 LORD slew him. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and "perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her, and raise (9 up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give 10 seed to his brother. And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of the LORD: and he slew him also. (11) Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown up: for he said, Lest he also die, like his brethren. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house. 12 And in process of time 'Shua's daughter, 'the wife of Judah', died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnah', he and his friend Hirah the Adullam13 ite. And it was told Tamar, saying,

Behold, thy father in law goeth up to 14) Timnah to shear his sheep. And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood', and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in 'the gate of Enaim', which is by the way to Timnah'; for she saw that Shelah was grown 'up', and she was not given unto him to 15 wife. When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; 'for!

16 she had covered her face. And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee: for he knew not that she was his daughter in law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou 17 mayest come in unto me? And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou 18 send it? And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy 'cord', and thy staff that is in thine hand.

she arose, and went away, and 'put off her veil from her, and put on the 20 garments of her widowhood. °And

Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not. 21 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the 1harlot, that was at Enaim by the way side? And they said, There hath been no (22 harlot here!. And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found! her; and also the men of the place said, There hath been no 1harlot 23 here. And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame': behold, I sent this kid, and thou 24 hast not found her. And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and moreover, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be 25 burnt. When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and the cords', and 'the staff. 26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I; 'forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no 27 more. And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins (28 were in her womb. And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand: and the midwife took

his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called 'Zerah'.

391 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, which had brought 2 him down thither. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of 3 his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that 4 he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he ministered unto him and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his (5 hand. And it came to pass from the

time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had, 6 in the house and in the field. he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught that was with him', save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was 'comely', 1 and well favoured. And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; 8 and she said, Lie with me. But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my 9 hand; there is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin 10 against God? And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by 11 her, or to be with her. And it came to pass about this time, that he went

And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her 13 hand, and fled, and got him out. And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and 14 was fled forth, that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in Jan Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and 15 I cried with a loud voice: and it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got 16 him out. And she laid up his gar

I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled 19 out. And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to 20 me; that his wrath was kindled.

And

Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, 'the' place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he 21 was there in the prison. But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed 'kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of 22 the prison. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, 23 he was the doer of it. The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper. 40 (1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their (2) lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and 3 against the chief of the bakers.

And

he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was 4 bound. And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he Iministered unto them: and they con5 tinued a season in ward. And they dreamed a dream both of them, each

man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were 6 bound in the prison. And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and Isaw them, and, behold, they were sad. (7 °And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in ward in his 'master's house, saying, Wherefore look 8 ye so sadly to-day? And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret! it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? 9 tell it me, I pray you. And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, 10 a vine was before me; and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and1its' blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof 11 brought forth ripe grapes: and Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into 12 Pharaoh's hand. And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three 13) days; within yet three days shall

Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thine office and thou shalt give! Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner 14 when thou wast his butler. "But

When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my 17 head and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. 18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof the three 19) baskets are three days; within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat 20 thy flesh from off thee.
