Bible (King James): Book 1 Genesis Part 8 from administrator's blog

01:034:001 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob,

           went out to see the daughters of the land.

01:034:002 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the

           country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled

           her.

01:034:003 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he

           loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.

01:034:004 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this

           damsel to wife.

01:034:005 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.

01:034:006 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune

           with him.

01:034:007 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.

01:034:008 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son

           Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to

           wife.

01:034:009 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto

           us, and take our daughters unto you.

01:034:010 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you;

           dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.

01:034:011 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.

01:034:012 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.

01:034:013 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father

           deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their

           sister:

01:034:014 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:

01:034:015 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be,

           that every male of you be circumcised;

01:034:016 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.

01:034:017 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then

           will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

01:034:018 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.

01:034:019 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.

01:034:020 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their

           city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,

01:034:021 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.

01:034:022 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.

01:034:023 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of

           their's be our's? only let us consent unto them, and they will

           dwell with us.

01:034:024 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.

01:034:025 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.

01:034:026 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.

01:034:027 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city,

           because they had defiled their sister.

01:034:028 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and

           that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,

01:034:029 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their

           wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the

           house.

01:034:030 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.

01:034:031 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an

           harlot?

01:035:001 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.

01:035:002 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:

01:035:003 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.

01:035:004 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.

01:035:005 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.

01:035:006 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is,

           Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

01:035:007 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.

01:035:008 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath

           Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called

           Allonbachuth.

01:035:009 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of

           Padanaram, and blessed him.

01:035:010 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.

01:035:011 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;

01:035:012 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.

01:035:013 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with

           him.

01:035:014 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.

01:035:015 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with

           him, Bethel.

01:035:016 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way

           to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard

           labour.

01:035:017 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.

01:035:018 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.

01:035:019 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which

           is Bethlehem.

01:035:020 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of

           Rachel's grave unto this day.

01:035:021 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of

           Edar.

01:035:022 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:

01:035:023 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and

           Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

01:035:024 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

01:035:025 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:

01:035:026 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these

           are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

01:035:027 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city

           of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

01:035:028 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.

01:035:029 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.

01:036:001 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

01:036:002 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;

01:036:003 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

01:036:004 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;

01:036:005 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are

           the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of

           Canaan.

01:036:006 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.

01:036:007 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.

01:036:008 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

01:036:009 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the

           Edomites in mount Seir:

01:036:010 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.

01:036:011 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam,

           and Kenaz.

01:036:012 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to

           Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.

01:036:013 And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah,

           and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.

01:036:014 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.

01:036:015 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,

01:036:016 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.

01:036:017 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.

01:036:018 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.

01:036:019 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their

           dukes.

01:036:020 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land;

           Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,

01:036:021 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the

           Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

01:036:022 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's

           sister was Timna.

01:036:023 And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath,

           and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

01:036:024 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.

01:036:025 And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah

           the daughter of Anah.

01:036:026 And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and

           Ithran, and Cheran.

01:036:027 The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.

01:036:028 The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.

01:036:029 These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke

           Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,

01:036:030 Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that

           came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.

01:036:031 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom,

           before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.

01:036:032 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his

           city was Dinhabah.

01:036:033 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in

           his stead.

01:036:034 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in

           his stead.

01:036:035 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.

01:036:036 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.

01:036:037 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in

           his stead.

01:036:038 And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his

           stead.

01:036:039 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.

01:036:040 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,

01:036:041 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,

01:036:042 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,

01:036:043 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.

01:037:001 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger,

           in the land of Canaan.

01:037:002 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.

01:037:003 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.

01:037:004 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.

01:037:005 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and

           they hated him yet the more.

01:037:006 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I

           have dreamed:

01:037:007 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.

01:037:008 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.

01:037:009 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.

01:037:010 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?

01:037:011 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the

           saying.

01:037:012 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

01:037:013 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.

01:037:014 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.

01:037:015 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in

           the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

01:037:016 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where

           they feed their flocks.

01:037:017 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.

01:037:018 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto

           them, they conspired against him to slay him.

01:037:019 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

01:037:020 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.

01:037:021 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands;

           and said, Let us not kill him.

01:037:022 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into

           this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him;

           that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to

           his father again.

01:037:023 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren,

           that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many

           colours that was on him;

01:037:024 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was

           empty, there was no water in it.

01:037:025 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes

           and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from

           Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh,

           going to carry it down to Egypt.

01:037:026 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay

           our brother, and conceal his blood?

01:037:027 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our

           hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his

           brethren were content.

01:037:028 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and

           lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the

           Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought

           Joseph into Egypt.

01:037:029 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not

           in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

01:037:030 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not;

           and I, whither shall I go?

01:037:031 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats,

           and dipped the coat in the blood;

01:037:032 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 coat or no.

01:037:033 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast

           hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

01:037:034 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins,

           and mourned for his son many days.

01:037:035 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 into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept

           for him.

01:037:036 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an

           officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
