"These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being still a lad, even with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought evil report 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 coat of many colours. 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. "And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren; and they hated him yet the more. And he said unto them: 'Hear, I pray you, this dream which 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 came round about, and bowed down 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, a Heb. Dishan. and for his words. And he dreamed heard it, and delivered him out of yet another dream, and told it to his their hand; and said: 'Let us not take brethren, and said: 'Behold, I have his life.' 22 And Reuben said unto dreamed yet a dream: and, behold, them: 'Shed no blood; cast him into the sun and the moon and eleven this pit that is in the wilderness, but stars bowed down to me.' 10And he lay no hand upon him'- that he told it to his father, and to his breth- might deliver him out of their hand, ren; and his father rebuked him, and to restore him to his father. 23And said unto him: 'What is this dream it came to pass, when Joseph was come that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and unto his brethren, that they stripped thy mother and thy brethren indeed Joseph of his coat, the coat of many come to bow down to thee to the colours that was on him; 24and they earth?' "And his brethren envied took him, and cast him into the pithim; but his father kept the saying and the pit was empty, there was no in mind. water in it. 25 And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and ladanum, going to carry it down to Egypt. 26And Judah said unto his brethren: 'What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood? 27Come, 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 hearkened unto him. 28And there passed by 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? come, and I will send thee unto them.' And he said to him: 'Here am I.' 14And he said to him: 'Go now, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me back word.' So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 15And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, Midianites, merchantmen; and they saying: 'What seekest thou?' 16And drew and lifted up Joseph out of the he said: 'I seek my brethren. Tell pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites me, I pray thee, where they are feed- for twenty shekels of silver. And they ing the flock.' 17And the man said: brought Joseph into Egypt. 29And 'They are departed hence; for I heard Reuben returned unto the pit; and, them say: Let us go to Dothan.' behold, Joseph was not in the pit; And Joseph went after his brethren, and he rent his clothes. 3oAnd he and found them in Dothan. 18And returned unto his brethren, and said: they saw him afar off, and before he 'The child is not; and as for me, whithcame near unto them, they conspired er shall I go?" "And they took against him to slay him. 19And they Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, said one to another: 'Behold, this and dipped the coat in the blood; and dreamer cometh. 20Come now there- they sent the coat of many colours, and fore, and let us slay him, and cast they brought it to their father; and him into one of the pits, and we will said: "This have we found. Know say: An evil beast hath devoured now whether it is thy son's coat or him; and we shall see what will be- not.' And he knew it, and said: come of his dreams.' And Reuben 'It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.' And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned 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: Nay, but I will go down to the grave to my son mourning.' And his father wept for him. 36And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard. 38 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. And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in unto her. And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er. 'And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan. And she yet again bore a son, and called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib, when she bore him. And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar. 'And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. And Judah said unto Onan: 'Go in unto thy brother's wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother.' 'And Onan knew that the seed would 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 seed to his brother. 10And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of the LORD; and He slew him also. "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. 12And in process of time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheep-shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. And it was told Tamar, saying: 'Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep.' 14And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entrance 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 wife. 15When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she had covered her face. 16And he turned unto her by the way, and said: 'Come, 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?' 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 send it?' 18And he said: "What pledge shall I give thee?' And she said: 'Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thy hand.' And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him. 19And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. 20And 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. Then he asked the men of her place, saying: 'Where is the harlot, that was at Enaim by the wayside?' And they said: 'There hath been no harlot here.' 22And he returned to Judah, Heb. Medanites. was with him, and that the LORD made and said: 'I have not found her; and "And his master saw that the LORD also the men of the place said: There hath been no harlot here.' 23 And Judah said: 'Let her take it, lest we be put to shame; behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.' And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying: 'Tamar thy daughterin-law hath played the harlot; and moreover, behold, she is with child by harlotry.' And Judah said: 'Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.' 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: 'Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and the cords, and the staff.' 26And 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 more. 27And 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 one put out a hand; and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying: 'This came out first.' 29And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out; and she said: 'Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself?' Therefore his name was called "Perez. 30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zerah. 'And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said: 'Lie with me.' But he refused, and said unto his master's wife: 'Behold, my master, having me, knoweth not what is in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand; "he is not 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 against God?' 10And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. "And it came to pass on a certain day, when he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the 39 And Joseph was brought down men of the house there within, "that to Egypt; and Potiphar, an she caught him by his garment, saying: officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the 'Lie with me.' And he left his garguard, an Egyptian, bought him of ment in her hand, and fled, and got the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had him out. And it came to pass, when brought him down thither. And the she saw that he had left his garment LORD was with Joseph, and he was a in her hand, and was fled forth, 14that prosperous man; and he was in the she called unto the men of her house, house of his master the Egyptian. and spoke unto them, saying: 'See, That is, A breach. he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us guard charged Joseph to be with them, to mock us; he came in unto me to lie and he ministered unto them; and with me, and I cried with a loud voice. they continued a season in ward. "And And it came to pass, when he heard they dreamed a dream both of them, that I lifted up my voice and cried, each man his dream, in one night, that he left his garment by me, and each man according to the interpretafled, and got him out.' 16And she laid tion of his dream, the butler and the up his garment by her, until his master baker of the king of Egypt, who were came home. 17 And she spoke unto bound in the prison. And Joseph him according to these words, saying: came in unto them in the morning, • The Hebrew servant, whom thou and saw them, and, behold, they were hast brought unto us, came in unto sad. And he asked Pharaoh's officers me to mock me. 18 And it came to pass, that were with him in the ward of as I lifted up my voice and cried, that his master's house, saying: 'Wherefore he left his garment by me, and fled look ye so sad to-day?' And they out. 19And it came to pass, when said unto him: 'We have dreamed a his master heard the words of his dream, and there is none that can wife, which she spoke unto him, say- interpret it.' And Joseph said unto ing: 'After this manner did thy servant them: 'Do not interpretations belong to me'; that his wrath was kindled. to God? tell it me, I pray you.' 'And And Joseph's master took him, and the chief butler told his dream to put him into the prison, the place Joseph, and said to him: 'In my where the king's prisoners were bound; and he was there in the prison. But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23The 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 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt. 2And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and 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 bound. "And the captain of the dream, behold, a vine was before me; 10and in the vine were three branches; and as it was budding, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters thereof 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 Pharaoh's hand.' 12And Joseph said unto him: "This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office; and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. 14But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house. 15For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into |
