tent beyond "the tower of Edar.

22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and flay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:

26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan

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 Ja-
cob.

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.

Joseph's two dreams.

6 And he said unto them, Hear, I
you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves int
the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also
stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves
stood round about, and made obeisance to
my sheaf.

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.

9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and

told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have

dreamed a dream more; and, behold, f the

sun and the moon and the eleven stars made

obeisance to me.

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 our-
selves to thee to the earth?

11 And his brethren envied him; but his
father observed the saying.

12 And his brethren went to feed their
father's flock in Shechem.

13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not
thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem?

he said to him, Here am I.

deliver him to his father again.

23 And it came to pass, when Joseph

was come unto his brethren, that they strip-
ped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many
colours that was on him;

24 And they took him, and cast him into a

pit: and the pit was empty, there was no

water in it.

10 And the thing which he did † displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew "him also.

25 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, 6 Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.

26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, "She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. 27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.

28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. 29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, "How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.

30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.

15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; because she had covered her face.

16 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 mayest come in unto me?

11 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 Pharaoh's hand.

12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:

13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place; and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

5 And he slept and dreamed the second time and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, frank and good.

6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. 7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. 8 And it came to pass in the morning " that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all 6 the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. 9¶ Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

10 Pharaoh was d wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker: 11 Andƒwe dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

13. And it came to pass, ias he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily "out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. 15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that n and I have heard say of can interpret it: thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.

16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, • It is not in me: PGod shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 9In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:

Joseph interpreteth them.

and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be tseven years of famine. 28 "This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do, he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
