34 : 4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor , saying , Get me this damsel to wife . |
34 : 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter : now his sons were with his cattle in the field : and Jacob held his peace until they were come . |
34 : 6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him . |
34 : 7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it : and the men were grieved , and they were very wroth , because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob ’ s daughter : which thing ought not to be done . |
34 : 8 And Hamor communed with them , saying , The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter : I pray you give her him to wife . |
34 : 9 And make ye marriages with us , and give your daughters unto us , and take our daughters unto you . |
34 : 10 And ye shall dwell with us : and the land shall be before you ; dwell and trade ye therein , and get you possessions therein . |
34 : 11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren , Let me find grace in your eyes , and what ye shall say unto me I will give . |
34 : 12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift , and I will give according as ye shall say unto me : but give me the damsel to wife . |
34 : 13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully , and said , because he had defiled Dinah their sister : |
34 : 14 And they said unto them , We cannot do this thing , to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised ; for that were a reproach unto us : |
34 : 15 But in this will we consent unto you : If ye will be as we be , that every male of you be circumcised ; 34 : 16 Then will we give our daughters unto you , and we will take your daughters to us , and we will dwell with you , and we will become one people . |
34 : 17 But if ye will not hearken unto us , to be circumcised ; then will we take our daughter , and we will be gone . |
34 : 18 And their words pleased Hamor , and Shechem Hamor ’ s son . |
34 : 19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing , because he had delight in Jacob ’ s daughter : and he was more honourable than all the house of his father . |
34 : 20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city , and communed with the men of their city , saying , 34 : 21 These men are peaceable with us ; therefore let them dwell in the land , and trade therein ; for the land , behold , it is large enough for them ; let us take their daughters to us for wives , and let us give them our daughters . |
34 : 22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us , to be one people , if every male among us be circumcised , as they are circumcised . |
34 : 23 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 . |
34 : 24 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 . |
34 : 25 And it came to pass on the third day , when they were sore , that two of the sons of Jacob , Simeon and Levi , Dinah ’ s brethren , took each man his sword , and came upon the city boldly , and slew all the males . |
34 : 26 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 . |
34 : 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain , and spoiled the city , because they had defiled their sister . |
34 : 28 They took their sheep , and their oxen , and their asses , and that which was in the city , and that which was in the field , 34 : 29 And all their wealth , and all their little ones , and their wives took they captive , and spoiled even all that was in the house . |
34 : 30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi , Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land , among the Canaanites and the Perizzites : and I being few in number , they shall gather themselves together against me , and slay me ; and I shall be destroyed , I and my house . |
34 : 31 And they said , Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot ? |
35 : 1 And God said unto Jacob , Arise , go up to Bethel , and dwell there : and make there an altar unto God , that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother . |
35 : 2 Then Jacob said unto his household , and to all that were with him , Put away the strange gods that are among you , and be clean , and change your garments : 35 : 3 And let us arise , and go up to Bethel ; and I will make there an altar unto God , who answered me in the day of my distress , and was with me in the way which I went . |
35 : 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand , and all their earrings which were in their ears ; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem . |
35 : 5 And they journeyed : and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them , and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob . |
35 : 6 So Jacob came to Luz , which is in the land of Canaan , that is , Bethel , he and all the people that were with him . |
35 : 7 And he built there an altar , and called the place Elbethel : because there God appeared unto him , when he fled from the face of his brother . |
35 : 8 But Deborah Rebekah ’ s nurse died , and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak : and the name of it was called Allonbachuth . |
35 : 9 And God appeared unto Jacob again , when he came out of Padanaram , and blessed him . |
35 : 10 And God said unto him , Thy name is Jacob : thy name shall not be called any more Jacob , but Israel shall be thy name : and he called his name Israel . |
35 : 11 And God said unto him , I am God Almighty : be fruitful and multiply ; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee , and kings shall come out of thy loins ; 35 : 12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac , to thee I will give it , and to thy seed after thee will I give the land . |
35 : 13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him . |
35 : 14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him , even a pillar of stone : and he poured a drink offering thereon , and he poured oil thereon . |
35 : 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him , Bethel . |
35 : 16 And they journeyed from Bethel ; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath : and Rachel travailed , and she had hard labour . |
35 : 17 And it came to pass , when she was in hard labour , that the midwife said unto her , Fear not ; thou shalt have this son also . |
35 : 18 And it came to pass , as her soul was in departing , ( for she died ) that she called his name Benoni : but his father called him Benjamin . |
35 : 19 And Rachel died , and was buried in the way to Ephrath , which is Bethlehem . |
35 : 20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave : that is the pillar of Rachel ’ s grave unto this day . |
35 : 21 And Israel journeyed , and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar . |
35 : 22 And it came to pass , when Israel dwelt in that land , that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father ’ s concubine : and Israel heard it . Now the sons of Jacob were twelve : 35 : 23 The sons of Leah ; Reuben , Jacob ’ s firstborn , and Simeon , and Levi , and Judah , and Issachar , and Zebulun : 35 : 24 The sons of Rachel ; Joseph , and Benjamin : 35 : 25 And the sons of Bilhah , Rachel ’ s handmaid ; Dan , and Naphtali : 35 : 26 And the sons of Zilpah , Leah ’ s handmaid : Gad , and Asher : these are the sons of Jacob , which were born to him in Padanaram . |
35 : 27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre , unto the city of Arbah , which is Hebron , where Abraham and Isaac sojourned . |
35 : 28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years . |
35 : 29 And Isaac gave up the ghost , and died , and was gathered unto his people , being old and full of days : and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him . |
36 : 1 Now these are the generations of Esau , who is Edom . |
36 : 2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan ; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite , and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite ; 36 : 3 And Bashemath Ishmael ’ s daughter , sister of Nebajoth . |
36 : 4 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz ; and Bashemath bare Reuel ; 36 : 5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush , and Jaalam , and Korah : these are the sons of Esau , which were born unto him in the land of Canaan . |
36 : 6 And Esau took his wives , and his sons , and his daughters , and all the persons of his house , and his cattle , and all his beasts , and all his substance , which he had got in the land of Canaan ; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob . |
36 : 7 For their riches were more than that they might dwell together ; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle . |
36 : 8 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir : Esau is Edom . |
36 : 9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir : 36 : 10 These are the names of Esau ’ s sons ; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau , Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau . |
36 : 11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman , Omar , Zepho , and Gatam , and Kenaz . |
36 : 12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau ’ s son ; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek : these were the sons of Adah Esau ’ s wife . |
36 : 13 And these are the sons of Reuel ; Nahath , and Zerah , Shammah , and Mizzah : these were the sons of Bashemath Esau ’ s wife . |
36 : 14 And these were the sons of Aholibamah , the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon , Esau ’ s wife : and she bare to Esau Jeush , and Jaalam , and Korah . |
36 : 15 These were dukes of the sons of Esau : the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau ; duke Teman , duke Omar , duke Zepho , duke Kenaz , |
36 : 16 Duke Korah , duke Gatam , and duke Amalek : these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom ; these were the sons of Adah . |
36 : 17 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau ’ s son ; duke Nahath , duke Zerah , duke Shammah , duke Mizzah : these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom ; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau ’ s wife . |
36 : 18 And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau ’ s wife ; duke Jeush , duke Jaalam , duke Korah : these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah , Esau ’ s wife . |
36 : 19 These are the sons of Esau , who is Edom , and these are their dukes . |
36 : 20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite , who inhabited the land ; Lotan , and Shobal , and Zibeon , and Anah , 36 : 21 And Dishon , and Ezer , and Dishan : these are the dukes of the Horites , the children of Seir in the land of Edom . |
36 : 22 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam ; and Lotan ’ s sister was Timna . |
36 : 23 And the children of Shobal were these ; Alvan , and Manahath , and Ebal , Shepho , and Onam . |
36 : 24 And these are the children of Zibeon ; both Ajah , and Anah : this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness , as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father . |
36 : 25 And the children of Anah were these ; Dishon , and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah . |
36 : 26 And these are the children of Dishon ; Hemdan , and Eshban , and Ithran , and Cheran . |
36 : 27 The children of Ezer are these ; Bilhan , and Zaavan , and Akan . |
36 : 28 The children of Dishan are these ; Uz , and Aran . |
36 : 29 These are the dukes that came of the Horites ; duke Lotan , duke Shobal , duke Zibeon , duke Anah , 36 : 30 Duke Dishon , duke Ezer , duke Dishan : these are the dukes that came of Hori , among their dukes in the land of Seir . |
36 : 31 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom , before there reigned any king over the children of Israel . |
36 : 32 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom : and the name of his city was Dinhabah . |
36 : 33 And Bela died , and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead . |
36 : 34 And Jobab died , and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead . |
36 : 35 And Husham died , and Hadad the son of Bedad , who smote Midian in the field of Moab , reigned in his stead : and the name of his city was Avith . |
36 : 36 And Hadad died , and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead . |
36 : 37 And Samlah died , and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead . |
36 : 38 And Saul died , and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead . |
36 : 39 And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died , and Hadar reigned in his stead : and the name of his city was Pau ; and his wife ’ s name was Mehetabel , the daughter of Matred , the daughter of Mezahab . |
36 : 40 And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau , according to their families , after their places , by their names ; duke Timnah , duke Alvah , duke Jetheth , 36 : 41 Duke Aholibamah , duke Elah , duke Pinon , 36 : 42 Duke Kenaz , duke Teman , duke Mibzar , 36 : 43 Duke Magdiel , duke Iram : these be the dukes of Edom , according to their habitations in the land of their possession : he is Esau the father of the Edomites . |
37 : 1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger , in the land of Canaan . |
37 : 2 These are the generations of Jacob . Joseph , being seventeen years old , was feeding the flock with his brethren ; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah , and with the sons of Zilpah , his father ’ s wives : and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report . |
37 : 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children , because he was the son of his old age : and he made him a coat of many colours . |
37 : 4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren , they hated him , and could not speak peaceably unto him . |
37 : 5 And Joseph dreamed a dream , and he told it his brethren : and they hated him yet the more . |
37 : 6 And he said unto them , Hear , I pray you , this dream which I have dreamed : 37 : 7 For , behold , we were binding sheaves in the field , and , lo , my sheaf arose , and also stood upright ; and , behold , your sheaves stood round about , and made obeisance to my sheaf . |
37 : 8 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 for his words . |
37 : 9 And he dreamed yet another dream , and told it his brethren , and said , Behold , I have dreamed a dream more ; and , behold , the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me . |
37 : 10 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 to the earth ? 37 : 11 And his brethren envied him ; but his father observed the saying . |
37 : 12 And his brethren went to feed their father ’ s flock in Shechem . |
37 : 13 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 . |
37 : 14 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 . |
37 : 15 And a certain man found him , and , behold , he was wandering in the field : and the man asked him , saying , What seekest thou ? 37 : 16 And he said , I seek my brethren : tell me , I pray thee , where they feed their flocks . |
37 : 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 them in Dothan . |
37 : 18 And when they saw him afar off , even before he came near unto them , they conspired against him to slay him . |
37 : 19 And they said one to another , Behold , this dreamer cometh . |
37 : 20 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 . |
