book: Gen

So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her Egyptian maid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his [secondary] wife.


book: Gen

And he had intercourse with Hagar, and she became pregnant; and when she saw that she was with child, she looked with contempt upon her mistress and despised her.


book: Gen

Then Sarai said to Abram, May [the responsibility for] my wrong and deprivation of rights be upon you! I gave my maid into your bosom, and when she saw that she was with child, I was contemptible and despised in her eyes. May the Lord be the judge between you and me.


book: Gen

book: Gen

So she called the name of the Lord Who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Have I [not] even here [in the wilderness] looked upon Him Who sees me [and lived]? Or have I here also seen [the future purposes or designs of] Him Who sees me?

As for Me, behold, My covenant (solemn pledge) is with you, and you shall be the father of many nations.

And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a token or sign of the covenant (the promise or pledge) between Me and you.


book: Gen

He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male throughout your generations, whether born in [your] house or bought with [your] money from any foreigner not of your offspring.


book: Gen

He that is born in your house and he that is bought with your money must be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.


book: Gen

book: Gen

And as for Ishmael, I have heard and heeded you: behold, I will bless him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly; He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. [Fulfilled in Gen. 25:12-18.]


book: Gen

But My covenant, My promise and pledge, I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this season next year.


book: Gen

And all the men of his house, both those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised along with him.


book: Gen

Now the Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks or terebinths of Mamre; as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day,


book: Gen
contenido:
He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood at a little distance from him. He ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the ground


book: Gen

book: Gen

Let a little water be brought, and you may wash your feet and recline and rest yourselves under the tree.


book: Gen

So Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah and said, Quickly get ready three measures of fine meal, knead it, and bake cakes.


book: Gen

And Abraham ran to the herd and brought a calf tender and good and gave it to the young man [to butcher]; then he [Abraham] hastened to prepare it.


book: Gen

And he took curds and milk and the calf which he had made ready, and set it before [the men]; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.


book: Gen
contenido:
[The Lord] said, I will surely return to you when the season comes round, and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son. And Sarah was listening and heard it at the tent door which was behind Him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in years; it had ceased to be with Sarah as with [young] women. [She was past the age of childbearing].


book: Gen
contenido:
Therefore Sarah laughed to herself, saying, After I have become aged shall I have pleasure and delight, my lord (husband), being old also?


book: Gen
contenido:
And the Lord asked Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I really bear a child when I am so old?


book: Gen
contenido:
Is anything too hard or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season [for her delivery] comes around, I will return to you and Sarah shall have borne a son.


book: Gen

Then Sarah denied it, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And He said, No, but you did laugh.


book: Gen

The men rose up from there and faced toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.


book: Gen
contenido:
Since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed through him and shall bless themselves by him?


book: Gen
contenido:
For I have known (chosen, acknowledged) him [as My own], so that he may teach and command his children and the sons of his house after him to keep the way of the Lord and to do what is just and righteous, so that the Lord may bring Abraham what He has promised him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the Lord said, Because the shriek [of the sins] of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is exceedingly grievous,


book: Gen

I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether [as vilely and wickedly] as is the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Abraham came close and said, Will You destroy the righteous (those upright and in right standing with God) together with the wicked?


book: Gen
contenido:
Suppose there are in the city fifty righteous; will You destroy the place and not spare it for [the sake of] the fifty righteous in it?


book: Gen
contenido:
Far be it from You to do such a thing—to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as do the wicked! Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth execute judgment and do righteously?


book: Gen
contenido:
And the Lord said, If I find in the city of Sodom fifty righteous (upright and in right standing with God), I will spare the whole place for their sake.


book: Gen
contenido:
Abraham answered, Behold now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord.


book: Gen

If five of the fifty righteous should be lacking—will You destroy the whole city for lack of five? He said, If I find forty-five, I will not destroy it.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [Abraham] spoke to Him yet again, and said, Suppose [only] forty shall be found there. And He said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.


book: Gen

Then [Abraham] said to Him, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak [again]. Suppose [only] thirty shall be found there. And He answered, I will not do it if I find thirty there.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [Abraham] said, Behold now, I have taken upon myself to speak [again] to the Lord. Suppose [only] twenty shall be found there. And [the Lord] replied, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again only this once. Suppose ten [righteous people] shall be found there. And [the Lord] said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the Lord went His way when He had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.


book: Gen
contenido:
It was evening when the two angels came to Sodom. Lot was sitting at Sodom’s [city] gate. Seeing them, Lot rose up to meet them and bowed to the ground.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said, My lords, turn aside, I beg of you, into your servant’s house and spend the night and bathe your feet. Then you can arise early and go on your way. But they said, No, we will spend the night in the square.


book: Gen
contenido:
[Lot] entreated and urged them greatly until they yielded and [with him] entered his house. And he made them a dinner [with drinking] and had unleavened bread which he baked, and they ate.


book: Gen

But before they lay down, the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, all the men from every quarter, surrounded the house.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they called to Lot and said, Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know (be intimate with) them.


book: Gen
contenido:
Look now, I have two daughters who are virgins; let me, I beg of you, bring them out to you, and you can do as you please with them. But only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.


book: Gen
contenido:
But they said, Stand back! And they said, This fellow came in to live here temporarily, and now he presumes to be [our] judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them. So they rushed at and pressed violently against Lot and came close to breaking down the door.


book: Gen
contenido:
But the men [the angels] reached out and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut the door after him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness [which dazzled them], from the youths to the old men, so that they wearied themselves [groping] to find the door.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the [two] men asked Lot, Have you any others here—sons-in-law or your sons or your daughters? Whomever you have in the city, bring them out of this place,


book: Gen
contenido:
For we will spoil and destroy [Sodom]; for the outcry and shriek against its people has grown great before the Lord, and He has sent us to destroy it.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, Up, get out of this place, for the Lord will spoil and destroy this city! But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be [only] joking.


book: Gen
contenido:
When morning came, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, Arise, take your wife and two daughters who are here [and be off], lest you [too] be consumed and swept away in the iniquity and punishment of the city.


book: Gen
contenido:
But while he lingered, the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, for the Lord was merciful to him; and they brought him forth and set him outside the city and left him there.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when they had brought them forth, they said, Escape for your life! Do not look behind you or stop anywhere in the whole valley; escape to the mountains [of Moab], lest you be consumed.


book: Gen
contenido:
Behold now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your kindness and mercy to me in saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest the evil overtake me, and I die.


book: Gen
contenido:
See now yonder city; it is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh, let me escape to it! Is it not a little one? And my life will be saved!


book: Gen
contenido:
And [the angel] said to him, See, I have yielded to your entreaty concerning this thing also; I will not destroy this city of which you have spoken.


book: Gen
contenido:
Make haste and take refuge there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar [little].


book: Gen

He overthrew, destroyed, and ended those cities, and all the valley and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.

But Abimelech had not come near her, so he said, Lord, will you slay a people who are just and innocent?


book: Gen

Did not the man tell me, She is my sister? And she herself said, He is my brother. In integrity of heart and innocency of hands I have done this.

Then God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know you did this in the integrity of your heart, for it was I Who kept you back and spared you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not give you occasion to touch her.


book: Gen
contenido:
So now restore to the man his wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her [to him], know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all his servants and told them all these things; and the men were exceedingly filled with reverence and fear.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? And how have I offended you that you have brought on me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me what ought not to be done [to anyone].


book: Gen
contenido:
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see [in us] that [justified] you in doing such a thing as this?


book: Gen
contenido:
And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no reverence or fear of God at all in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
But truly, she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father but not of my mother; and she became my wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
When God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, This kindness you can show me: at every place we stop, say of me, He is my brother.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham and restored to him Sarah his wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given this brother of yours a thousand pieces of silver; see, it is to compensate you [for all that has occurred] and to vindicate your honor before all who are with you; before all men you are cleared and compensated.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his female slaves, and they bore children,


book: Gen
contenido:
For the Lord had closed fast the wombs of all in Abimelech’s household because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children at the breast? For I have borne him a son in his old age!


book: Gen
contenido:
And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.


book: Gen
contenido:
Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not be an heir with my son Isaac.


book: Gen
contenido:
God said to Abraham, Do not let it seem grievous and evil to you because of the youth and your bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said to you, do what she asks, for in Isaac shall your posterity be called.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a bottle of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulders, and he sent her and the youth away. And she wandered on [aimlessly] and lost her way in the wilderness of Beersheba.


book: Gen
contenido:
When the water in the bottle was all gone, Hagar caused the youth to lie down under one of the shrubs.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about a bowshot, for she said, Let me not see the death of the lad. And as she sat down opposite him, he lifted up his voice and wept and she raised her voice and wept.


book: Gen
contenido:
And God heard the voice of the youth, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said to her, What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the youth where he is.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the [empty] bottle with water and caused the youth to drink.


book: Gen
contenido:
At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, God is with you in everything you do.


book: Gen
contenido:
So now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my son or with my posterity; but as I have dealt with you kindly, you will do the same with me and with the land in which you have sojourned.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Abraham complained to and reasoned with Abimelech about a well of water [Abimelech’s] servants had violently seized,


book: Gen
contenido:
Abimelech said, I know not who did this thing; you did not tell me, and I did not hear of it until today.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a league or covenant.


book: Gen
contenido:
Therefore that place was called Beersheba [well of the oath], because there both parties swore an oath.


book: Gen
contenido:
Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba; then Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army returned to the land of the Philistines.


book: Gen
contenido:
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called there on the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.


book: Gen
contenido:
[God] said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I will tell you.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and then began the trip to the place of which God had told him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Abraham said to his servants, Settle down and stay here with the donkey, and I and the young man will go yonder and worship and come again to you.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on [the shoulders of] Isaac his son, and he took the fire (the firepot) in his own hand, and a knife; and the two of them went on together.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac said to Abraham, My father! And he said, Here I am, my son. [Isaac] said, See, here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt sacrifice?


book: Gen
contenido:
Abraham said, My son, God Himself will provide a lamb for the burnt offering. So the two went on together.


book: Gen
contenido:
When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there; then he laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar on the wood.


book: Gen
contenido:
But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham! He answered, Here I am.


book: Gen
contenido:
And He said, Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear and revere God, since you have not held back from Me or begrudged giving Me your son, your only son.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering and an ascending sacrifice instead of his son!


book: Gen
contenido:
So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.


book: Gen
contenido:
And said, I have sworn by Myself, says the Lord, that since you have done this and have not withheld [from Me] or begrudged [giving Me] your son, your only son,


book: Gen
contenido:
In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies,


book: Gen
contenido:
And in your Seed [Christ] shall all the nations of the earth be blessed and [by Him] bless themselves, because you have heard and obeyed My voice.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Abraham returned to his servants, and they rose up and went with him to Beersheba; there Abraham lived.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.


book: Gen
contenido:
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me property for a burial place among you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.


book: Gen
contenido:
Listen to us, my lord; you are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in any tomb or grave of ours that you choose; none of us will withhold from you his tomb or hinder you from burying your dead.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said to them, If you are willing to grant my dead a burial out of my sight, listen to me and ask Ephron son of Zohar for me,


book: Gen
contenido:
That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns—it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me here in your presence as a burial place to which I may hold fast among you.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Ephron was present there among the sons of Heth; so, in the hearing of all who went in at the gate of his city, Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, saying,


book: Gen
contenido:
No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and the cave that is in it I give you. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said to Ephron in the presence of the people of the land, But if you will give it, I beg of you, hear me. I will give you the price of the field; accept it from me, and I will bury my dead there.


book: Gen
contenido:
My lord, listen to me. The land is worth 400 shekels of silver; what is that between you and me? So bury your dead.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Abraham listened to what Ephron said and acted upon it. He weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: 400 shekels of silver, according to the weights current among the merchants.


book: Gen
contenido:
So the field of Ephron in Machpelah, which was to the east of Mamre [Hebron]—the field and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field and in all its borders round about—was made over


book: Gen
contenido:
As a possession to Abraham in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at his city gate.


book: Gen
contenido:
After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah to the east of Mamre, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan.


book: Gen
contenido:
The field and the cave in it were conveyed to Abraham for a permanent burial place by the sons of Heth.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Abraham said to the eldest servant of his house [Eliezer of Damascus], who ruled over all that he had, I beg of you, put your hand under my thigh;


book: Gen
contenido:
And you shall swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I have settled,


book: Gen
contenido:
The servant said to him, But perhaps the woman will not be willing to come along after me to this country. Must I take your son to the country from which you came?


book: Gen
contenido:
The Lord, the God of heaven, Who took me from my father’s house, from the land of my family and my birth, Who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, To your offspring I will give this land—He will send His Angel before you, and you will take a wife from there for my son.


book: Gen
contenido:
And if the woman should not be willing to go along after you, then you will be clear from this oath; only you must not take my son back there.


book: Gen
contenido:
So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master and swore to him concerning this matter.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, taking some of all his master’s treasures with him; thus he journeyed to Mesopotamia [between the Tigris and the Euphrates], to the city of Nahor [Abraham’s brother].


book: Gen
contenido:
And he made his camels to kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening when women go out to draw water.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said, O Lord, God of my master Abraham, I pray You, cause me to meet with good success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.


book: Gen
contenido:
See, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming to draw water.


book: Gen
contenido:
And let it so be that the girl to whom I say, I pray you, let down your jar that I may drink, and she replies, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also—let her be the one whom You have selected and appointed and indicated for Your servant Isaac [to be a wife to him]; and by it I shall know that You have shown kindness and faithfulness to my master.


book: Gen
contenido:
Before he had finished speaking, behold, out came Rebekah, who was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor the brother of Abraham, with her water jar on her shoulder.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the girl was very beautiful and attractive, chaste and modest, and unmarried. And she went down to the well, filled her water jar, and came up.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, I pray you, let me drink a little water from your water jar.


book: Gen
contenido:
When she had given him a drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they finish drinking.


book: Gen
contenido:
So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well and drew water for all his camels.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold earring or nose ring of half a shekel in weight, and for her hands two bracelets of ten shekels in weight in gold,


book: Gen
contenido:
And said, Whose daughter are you? I pray you, tell me: Is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge there?


book: Gen
contenido:
She said also to him, We have both straw and provender (fodder) enough, and also room in which to lodge.


book: Gen
contenido:
And said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, Who has not left my master bereft and destitute of His loving-kindness and steadfastness. As for me, going on the way [of obedience and faith] the Lord led me to the house of my master’s kinsmen.


book: Gen
contenido:
For when he saw the earring or nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s arms, and when he heard Rebekah his sister saying, The man said this to me, he went to the man and found him standing by the camels at the well.


book: Gen
contenido:
He cried, Come in, you blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside? For I have made the house ready and have prepared a place for the camels.


book: Gen
contenido:
So the man came into the house; and [Laban] ungirded his camels and gave straw and provender for the camels and water to bathe his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.


book: Gen
contenido:
A meal was set before him, but he said, I will not eat until I have told of my errand. And [Laban] said, Speak on.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the Lord has blessed my master mightily, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks, herds, silver, gold, menservants, maidservants, camels, and asses.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old, and to him he has given all that he has.


book: Gen
contenido:
And my master made me swear, saying, You must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell,


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said to me, The Lord, in Whose presence I walk [habitually], will send His Angel with you and prosper your way, and you will take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father’s house.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then you shall be clear from my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they do not give her to you, you shall be free and innocent of my oath.


book: Gen
contenido:
I came today to the well and said, O Lord, God of my master Abraham, if You are now causing me to go on my way prosperously—


book: Gen
contenido:
See, I am standing by the well of water; now let it be that when the maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, I pray you, give me a little water from your [water] jar to drink,


book: Gen
contenido:
And if she says to me, You drink, and I will draw water for your camels also, let that same woman be the one whom the Lord has selected and indicated for my master’s son.


book: Gen
contenido:
And before I had finished praying in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her [water] jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, I pray you, let me have a drink.


book: Gen
contenido:
And she quickly let down her [water] jar from her shoulder and said, Drink, and I will water your camels also. So I drank, and she gave the camels drink also.


book: Gen
contenido:
I asked her, Whose daughter are you? She said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the earring or nose ring on her face and the bracelets on her arms.


book: Gen
contenido:
And I bowed down my head and worshiped the Lord and blessed the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, Who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter to his son.


book: Gen
contenido:
And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master [showing faithfulness to him], tell me; and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right or to the left.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Laban and Bethuel answered, The thing comes forth from the Lord; we cannot speak bad or good to you.


book: Gen
contenido:
Rebekah is before you; take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has said.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the servant brought out jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and garments and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed there all night. And in the morning they arose, and he said. Send me away to my master.


book: Gen
contenido:
But [Rebekah’s] brother and mother said, Let the girl stay with us a few days—at least ten; then she may go.


book: Gen
contenido:
But [the servant] said to them, Do not hinder and delay me, seeing that the Lord has caused me to go prosperously on my way. Send me away, that I may go to my master.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, You are our sister; may you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your posterity possess the gate of their enemies.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Rebekah and her maids arose and followed the man upon their camels. Thus the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Isaac had returned from going to the well Beer-lahai-roi [A well to the Living One Who sees me], for he [now] dwelt in the South country (the Negeb).


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac went out to meditate and bow down [in prayer] in the open country in the evening; and he looked up and saw that, behold, the camels were coming.


book: Gen
contenido:
For she [had] said to the servant, Who is that man walking across the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, He is my master. So she took a veil and concealed herself with it.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her; thus Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.


book: Gen
contenido:
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.


book: Gen
contenido:
But to the sons of his concubines [Hagar and Keturah] Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them to the east country, away from Isaac his son [of promise].


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Abraham’s spirit was released, and he died at a good (ample, full) old age, an old man, satisfied and satiated, and was gathered to his people.


book: Gen
contenido:
And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is east of Mamre,


book: Gen
contenido:
After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi [A well to the Living One Who sees me].


book: Gen
contenido:
Now this is the history of the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham.


book: Gen
contenido:
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their births: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,


book: Gen
contenido:
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments (sheepfolds)—twelve princes according to their tribes. [Foretold in Gen. 17:20.]


book: Gen
contenido:
And [Ishmael’s sons] dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is before Egypt in the direction of Assyria. [Ishmael] dwelt close [to the lands] of all his brethren.


book: Gen
contenido:
And this is the history of the descendants of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham was the father of Isaac.


book: Gen
contenido:
Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Padan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac prayed much to the Lord for his wife because she was unable to bear children; and the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife became pregnant.


book: Gen
contenido:
[Two] children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so [that the Lord has heard our prayer], why am I like this? And she went to inquire of the Lord.


book: Gen
contenido:
The Lord said to her, [The founders of] two nations are in your womb, and the separation of two peoples has begun in your body; the one people shall be stronger than the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.


book: Gen
contenido:
Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand grasped Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob [supplanter]. Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.


book: Gen
contenido:
When the boys grew up, Esau was a cunning and skilled hunter, a man of the outdoors; but Jacob was a plain and quiet man, dwelling in tents.


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob was boiling pottage (lentil stew) one day, when Esau came from the field and was faint [with hunger].


book: Gen
contenido:
And Esau said to Jacob, I beg of you, let me have some of that red lentil stew to eat, for I am faint and famished! That is why his name was called Edom [red].


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob said, Swear to me today [that you are selling it to me]; and he swore to [Jacob] and sold him his birthright.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils, and he ate and drank and rose up and went his way. Thus Esau scorned his birthright as beneath his notice.


book: Gen
contenido:
And there was a famine in the land, other than the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the Lord appeared to him and said, Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I will tell you.


book: Gen
contenido:
Dwell temporarily in this land, and I will be with you and will favor you with blessings; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.


book: Gen
contenido:
And I will make your descendants to multiply as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your posterity all these lands (kingdoms); and by your Offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, or by Him bless themselves,


book: Gen
contenido:
For Abraham listened to and obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the men of the place asked him about his wife, and he said, She is my sister; for he was afraid to say, She is my wife—[thinking], Lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is attractive and is beautiful to look upon.


book: Gen
contenido:
When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac caressing Rebekah his wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Abimelech called Isaac and said, See here, she is certainly your wife! How did you [dare] say to me, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I thought, Lest I die on account of her.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? One of the men might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt and sin upon us.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Abimelech charged all his people, He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Isaac sowed seed in that land and received in the same year a hundred times as much as he had planted, and the Lord favored him with blessings.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had closed and filled with earth.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names by which his father had called them.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. And he named the well Esek [contention] because they quarreled with him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then [his servants] dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he named it Sitnah [enmity].


book: Gen
contenido:
And he moved away from there and dug another well, and for that one they did not quarrel. He named it Rehoboth [room], saying, For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will favor you with blessings and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [Isaac] built an altar there and called on the name of the Lord and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants were digging a well.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzah, one of his friends, and Phicol, his army’s commander.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?


book: Gen
contenido:
They said, We saw that the Lord was certainly with you; so we said, Let there be now an oath between us [carrying a curse with it to befall the one who breaks it], even between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you


book: Gen
contenido:
That you will do us no harm, inasmuch as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed or favored of the Lord!


book: Gen
contenido:
And they rose up early in the morning and took oaths [with a curse] with one another; and Isaac sent them on their way and they departed from him in peace.


book: Gen
contenido:
That same day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug, saying, We have found water!


book: Gen
contenido:
And he named [the well] Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba [well of the oath] to this day.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Esau was 40 years old when he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they made life bitter and a grief of mind and spirit for Isaac and Rebekah [their parents-in-law].


book: Gen
contenido:
When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he answered him, Here I am.


book: Gen
contenido:
So now, I pray you, take your weapons, your [arrows in a] quiver and your bow, and go out into the open country and hunt game for me,


book: Gen
contenido:
And prepare me appetizing meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat of it, [preparatory] to giving you my blessing [as my firstborn] before I die.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Rebekah heard what Isaac said to Esau his son; and when Esau had gone to the open country to hunt for game that he might bring it,


book: Gen
contenido:
Bring me game and make me appetizing meat, so that I may eat and declare my blessing upon you before the Lord before my death.


book: Gen
contenido:
Go now to the flock, and from it bring me two good and suitable kids; and I will make them into appetizing meat for your father, such as he loves.


book: Gen
contenido:
And you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat and declare his blessing upon you before his death.


book: Gen
contenido:
Suppose my father feels me; I will seem to him to be a cheat and an imposter, and I will bring [his] curse on me and not [his] blessing.


book: Gen
contenido:
But his mother said to him, On me be your curse, my son; only obey my word and go, fetch them to me.


book: Gen
contenido:
So [Jacob] went, got [the kids], and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared appetizing meat with a delightful odor, such as his father loved.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Rebekah took her elder son Esau’s best clothes which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn; I have done what you told me to do. Now sit up and eat of my game, so that you may proceed to bless me.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found the game so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God caused it to come to me.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Isaac said to Jacob, Come close to me, I beg of you, that I may feel you, my son, and know whether you really are my son Esau or not.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Jacob went near to Isaac, and his father felt him and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

He could not identify him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then [Isaac] said, Bring it to me and I will eat of my son’s game, that I may bless you. He brought it to him and he ate; and he brought him wine and he drank.


book: Gen
contenido:
So he came near and kissed him; and [Isaac] smelled his clothing and blessed him and said, The scent of my son is as the odor of a field which the Lord has blessed.


book: Gen
contenido:
And may God give you of the dew of the heavens and of the fatness of the earth and abundance of grain and [new] wine;


book: Gen
contenido:
Let peoples serve you and nations bow down to you; be master over your brothers, and let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Let everyone be cursed who curses you and favored with blessings who blesses you.


book: Gen
contenido:
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob and Jacob was scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.


book: Gen
contenido:
Esau had also prepared savory food and brought it to his father and said to him, Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that you may bless me.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Isaac trembled and shook violently, and he said, Who? Where is he who has hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate of it all before you came and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with a great and bitter cry and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father!


book: Gen
contenido:
[Isaac] said, Your brother came with crafty cunning and treacherous deceit and has taken your blessing.


book: Gen
contenido:
[Esau] replied, Is he not rightly named Jacob [the supplanter]? For he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing! Have you not still a blessing reserved for me?


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac answered Esau, Behold, I have made [Jacob] your lord and master; I have given all his brethren to him for servants, and with corn and [new] wine have I sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?


book: Gen
contenido:
Esau said to his father, Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father! And Esau lifted up [could not control] his voice and wept aloud.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Isaac his father answered, Your [blessing and] dwelling shall all come from the fruitfulness of the earth and from the dew of the heavens above;


book: Gen
contenido:
By your sword you shall live and serve your brother. But [the time shall come] when you will grow restive and break loose, and you shall tear his yoke from off your neck.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are very near. When [he is gone] I will kill my brother Jacob.


book: Gen
contenido:
These words of Esau her elder son were repeated to Rebekah. She sent for Jacob her younger son and said to him, See here, your brother Esau comforts himself concerning you [by intending] to kill you.


book: Gen
contenido:
When your brother’s anger is diverted from you, he will forget [the wrong] that you have done him. Then I will send and bring you back from there. Why should I be deprived of both of you in one day?


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth [these wives of Esau]! If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth such as these Hittite girls around here, what good will my life be to me?


book: Gen
contenido:
So Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and commanded him, You shall not marry one of the women of Canaan.


book: Gen
contenido:
Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father, and take from there as a wife one of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother.


book: Gen
contenido:
May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you until you become a group of peoples.


book: Gen
contenido:
May He give the blessing [He gave to] Abraham to you and your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land He gave to Abraham, in which you are a sojourner.


book: Gen
contenido:
Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Padan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob and Esau’s mother.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him to Padan-aram to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him, he gave him a charge, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;


book: Gen
contenido:
So Esau went to Ishmael and took to be his wife, [in addition] to the wives he [already] had, Mahalath daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he came to a certain place and stayed there overnight, because the sun was set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down there to sleep.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!


book: Gen
contenido:
And behold, the Lord stood over and beside him and said, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father [forefather] and the God of Isaac; I will give to you and to your descendants the land on which you are lying.


book: Gen
contenido:
And your offspring shall be as [countless as] the dust or sand of the ground, and you shall spread abroad to the west and the east and the north and the south; and by you and your Offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed and bless themselves.


book: Gen
contenido:
And behold, I am with you and will keep (watch over you with care, take notice of) you wherever you may go, and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done all of which I have told you.


book: Gen
contenido:
He was afraid and said, How to be feared and reverenced is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gateway to heaven!


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob rose early in the morning and took the stone he had put under his head, and he set it up for a pillar (a monument to the vision in his dream), and he poured oil on its top [in dedication].


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go and will give me food to eat and clothing to wear,


book: Gen
contenido:
And this stone which I have set up as a pillar (monument) shall be God’s house [a sacred place to me], and of all [the increase of possessions] that You give me I will give the tenth to You.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob went [briskly and cheerfully] on his way [400 miles] and came to the land of the people of the East.


book: Gen
contenido:
As he looked, he saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it, for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well’s mouth was a big one,


book: Gen
contenido:
And when all the flocks were gathered there, [the shepherds] would roll the stone from the well’s mouth, water the sheep, and replace the stone on the well’s mouth.


book: Gen
contenido:
He said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, He is doing well; and behold, here comes his daughter Rachel with [his] sheep!


book: Gen
contenido:
He said, The sun is still high; it is a long time yet before the flocks need be gathered [in their folds]. [Why not] water the sheep and return them to their pasture?


book: Gen
contenido:
But they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together; then [the shepherds] roll the stone from the well’s mouth and we water the sheep.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his uncle, Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth and watered the flock of his uncle Laban.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Laban heard of the arrival of Jacob his sister’s son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him and brought him to his house. And [Jacob] told Laban all these things.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Laban said to Jacob, Just because you are my relative, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, I will work for you for seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.


book: Gen
contenido:
Finally, Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my time is completed, so that I may take her to me.


book: Gen
contenido:
But when night came, he took Leah his daughter and brought her to [Jacob], who had intercourse with her.


book: Gen
contenido:
But in the morning [Jacob saw his wife, and] behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Did I not work for you [all those seven years] for Rachel? Why then have you deceived and cheated and thrown me down [like this]?


book: Gen
contenido:
And Laban said, It is not permitted in our country to give the younger [in marriage] before the elder.


book: Gen
contenido:
Finish the [wedding feast] week [for Leah]; then we will give you [Rachel] also, and you shall work for me yet seven more years in return.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Jacob complied and fulfilled [Leah’s] week; then [Laban] gave him Rachel his daughter as his wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob lived with Rachel also as his wife, and he loved Rachel more than Leah and served [Laban] another seven years [for her].


book: Gen
contenido:
And when the Lord saw that Leah was despised, He made her able to bear children, but Rachel was barren.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Leah became pregnant and bore a son and named him Reuben [See, a son!]; for she said, Because the Lord has seen my humiliation and affliction; now my husband will love me.


book: Gen
contenido:
[Leah] became pregnant again and bore a son and said, Because the Lord heard that I am despised, He has given me this son also; and she named him Simeon [God hears].


book: Gen
contenido:
And she became pregnant again and bore a son and said, Now this time will my husband be a companion to me, for I have borne him three sons. Therefore he was named Levi [companion].


book: Gen
contenido:
Again she conceived and bore a son, and she said, Now will I praise the Lord! So she called his name Judah [praise]; then [for a time] she ceased bearing.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister, and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I will die!


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob became very angry with Rachel and he said, Am I in God’s stead, Who has denied you children?


book: Gen
contenido:
And she said, See here, take my maid Bilhah and have intercourse with her; and [when the baby comes] she shall deliver it upon my knees, that I by her may also have children.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Rachel said, God has judged and vindicated me, and has heard my plea and has given me a son; so she named him Dan [judged].


book: Gen
contenido:
And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings [in prayer to God] I have struggled with my sister and have prevailed; so she named him [this second son Bilhah bore] Naphtali [struggled].


book: Gen
contenido:
And Leah said, I am happy, for women will call me blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied); and she named him Asher [happy].


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Reuben went at the time of wheat harvest and found some mandrakes (love apples) in the field and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray you, some of your son’s mandrakes.


book: Gen
contenido:
But [Leah] answered, Is it not enough that you have taken my husband without your taking away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Jacob shall sleep with you tonight [in exchange] for your son’s mandrakes.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him and said, You must sleep with me [tonight], for I have certainly paid your hire with my son’s mandrakes. So he slept with her that night.


book: Gen
contenido:
Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar [hired].


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Leah said, God has endowed me with a good marriage gift [for my husband]; now will he dwell with me [and regard me as his wife in reality], because I have borne him six sons; and she named him Zebulun [dwelling].


book: Gen
contenido:
And [now for the first time] she became pregnant and bore a son; and she said, God has taken away my reproach, disgrace, and humiliation.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place and country.


book: Gen
contenido:
Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the work which I have done for you.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Laban said to him, If I have found favor in your sight, I pray you [do not go]; for I have learned by experience and from the omens in divination that the Lord has favored me with blessings on your account.


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob answered him, You know how I have served you, and how your possessions, your cattle and sheep and goats, have fared with me.


book: Gen
contenido:
For you had little before I came, and it has increased and multiplied abundantly; and the Lord has favored you with blessings wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own house also?


book: Gen
contenido:
[Laban] said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me anything, if you will do this one thing for me [of which I am about to tell you], and I will again feed and take care of your flock.


book: Gen
contenido:
Let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted animal and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.


book: Gen
contenido:
So later when the matter of my wages is brought before you, my fair dealing will be evident and answer for me. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the sheep, if found with me, shall be counted as stolen.


book: Gen
contenido:
But that same day [Laban] removed the he-goats that were streaked and spotted and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every black lamb, and put them in charge of his sons.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he set [a distance of] three days’ journey between himself and Jacob; and Jacob was then left in care of the rest of Laban’s flock.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane trees and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white in the rods.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then he set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred and conceived when they came to drink,


book: Gen
contenido:
The flocks bred and conceived in sight of the rods and brought forth lambs and kids streaked, speckled, and spotted.


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob separated the lambs, and [as he had done with the peeled rods] he also set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark in the [new] flock of Laban; and he put his own droves by themselves and did not let them breed with Laban’s flock.


book: Gen
contenido:
And whenever the stronger animals were breeding, Jacob laid the rods in the watering troughs before the eyes of the flock, that they might breed and conceive among the rods.


book: Gen
contenido:
But when the sheep and goats were feeble, he omitted putting the rods there; so the feebler animals were Laban’s and the stronger Jacob’s.


book: Gen
contenido:
Thus the man increased and became exceedingly rich, and had many sheep and goats, and maidservants, menservants, camels, and donkeys.


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob heard Laban’s sons complaining, Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s; he has acquired all this wealth and honor from what belonged to our father.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of your fathers and to your people, and I will be with you.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said to them, I see how your father looks at me, that he is not [friendly] toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.


book: Gen
contenido:
But your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.


book: Gen
contenido:
If he said, The speckled shall be your wages, then all the flock bore speckled; and if he said, The streaked shall be your hire, then all the flock bore streaked.


book: Gen
contenido:
And I had a dream at the time the flock conceived. I looked up and saw that the rams which mated with the she-goats were streaked, speckled, and spotted.


book: Gen
contenido:
And He said, Look up and see, all the rams which mate with the flock are streaked, speckled, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban does to you.


book: Gen
contenido:
I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you vowed a vow to Me. Now arise, get out from this land and return to your native land.


book: Gen
contenido:
Are we not counted by him as strangers? For he sold us and has also quite devoured our money [the price you paid for us].


book: Gen
contenido:
For all the riches which God has taken from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do it.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he drove away all his livestock and all his gain which he had gotten, the livestock he had obtained and accumulated in Padan-aram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep [possibly to the feast of sheepshearing], and Rachel stole her father’s household gods.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob outwitted Laban the Syrian [Aramean] in that he did not tell him that he [intended] to flee and slip away secretly.


book: Gen
contenido:
So he fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the river [Euphrates] and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.


book: Gen
contenido:
So he took his kinsmen with him and pursued after [Jacob] for seven days, and they overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.


book: Gen
contenido:
But God came to Laban the Syrian [Aramean] in a dream by night and said to him, Be careful that you do not speak from good to bad to Jacob [peaceably, then violently].


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent on the hill, and Laban coming with his kinsmen pitched [his tents] on the same hill of Gilead.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Laban said to Jacob, What do you mean stealing away and leaving like this without my knowing it, and carrying off my daughters as if captives of the sword?


book: Gen
contenido:
Why did you flee secretly and cheat me and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and gladness and with singing, with tambourine and lyre?


book: Gen
contenido:
And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons [grandchildren] and my daughters good-bye? Now you have done foolishly [in behaving like this].


book: Gen
contenido:
It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Be careful that you do not speak from good to bad to Jacob [peaceably, then violently].


book: Gen
contenido:
And now you felt you must go because you were homesick for your father’s house, but why did you steal my [household] gods?


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob answered Laban, Because I was afraid; for I thought, Suppose you would take your daughters from me by force.


book: Gen
contenido:
The one with whom you find those gods of yours, let him not live. Here before our kinsmen [search my possessions and] take whatever you find that belongs to you. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen [the images].


book: Gen
contenido:
So Laban went into Jacob’s tent and into Leah’s tent and the tent of the two maids, but he did not find them. Then he went from Leah’s tent into Rachel’s tent.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Rachel had taken the images (gods) and put them in the camel’s saddle and sat on them. Laban searched and felt through all the tent, but did not find them.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [Rachel] said to her father, Do not be displeased, my lord, that I cannot rise up before you, for the period of women is upon me and I am unwell. And he searched, but did not find the gods.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob became angry and reproached and argued with Laban. And Jacob said to Laban, What is my fault? What is my sin, that you so hotly pursued me?


book: Gen
contenido:
Although you have searched and felt through all my household possessions, what have you found of all your household goods? Put it here before my brethren and yours, that they may judge and decide between us.


book: Gen
contenido:
These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your she-goats have not lost their young, and the rams of your flock have not been eaten by me.


book: Gen
contenido:
I did not bring you [the carcasses of the animals] torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss of it; you required of me [to make good] all that was stolen, whether it occurred by day or by night.


book: Gen
contenido:
I have been twenty years in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks; and you have changed my wages ten times.


book: Gen
contenido:
And if the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Dread [lest he should fall] and Fear [lest he offend] of Isaac, had not been with me, surely you would have sent me away now empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and humiliation and the [wearying] labor of my hands and rebuked you last night.


book: Gen
contenido:
Laban answered Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, these children are my children, these flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do today to these my daughters or to their children whom they have borne?


book: Gen
contenido:
So come now, let us make a covenant or league, you and I, and let it be for a witness between you and me.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones and made a heap, and they ate [together] there upon the heap.


book: Gen
contenido:
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha [witness heap, in Aramaic], but Jacob called it Galeed [witness heap, in Hebrew.]


book: Gen
contenido:
And [the pillar or monument was called] Mizpah [watchpost], for he [Laban] said, May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent and hidden one from another.


book: Gen
contenido:
If you should afflict, humiliate, or lower [divorce] my daughters, or if you should take other wives beside my daughters, although no man is with us [to witness], see (remember), God is witness between you and me.


book: Gen
contenido:
This heap is a witness and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass by this heap to you, and that you will not pass by this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.


book: Gen
contenido:
The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, and the god [the object of worship] of their father [Terah, an idolator], judge between us. But Jacob swore [only] by [the one true God] the Dread and Fear of his father Isaac.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and called his brethren to eat food; and they ate food and lingered all night on the mountain.


book: Gen
contenido:
And early in the morning Laban rose up and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and pronounced a blessing [asking God’s favor] on them. Then Laban departed and returned to his home.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he commanded them, Say this to my lord Esau: Your servant Jacob says this: I have been living temporarily with Laban and have stayed there till now.


book: Gen
contenido:
And I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and women servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find mercy and kindness in your sight.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau; and now he is [on the way] to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people who were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two groups,


book: Gen
contenido:
Thinking, If Esau comes to the one group and smites it, then the other group which is left will escape.


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the Lord Who said to me, Return to your country and to your people and I will do you good,


book: Gen
contenido:
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercy and loving-kindness and all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant, for with [only] my staff I passed over this Jordan [long ago], and now I have become two companies.


book: Gen
contenido:
Deliver me, I pray You, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and smite [us all], the mothers with the children.


book: Gen
contenido:
And You said, I will surely do you good and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob lodged there that night and took from what he had with him as a present for his brother Esau:


book: Gen
contenido:
And he put them into the charge of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, Pass over before me and put a space between drove and drove.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he commanded the first, When Esau my brother meets you and asks to whom you belong, where you are going, and whose are the animals before you,


book: Gen
contenido:
Then you shall say, They are your servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau; and moreover, he is behind us.


book: Gen
contenido:
And so he commanded the second and the third and all that followed the droves, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you meet him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And say, Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.


book: Gen
contenido:
But he rose up that [same] night and took his two wives, his two women servants, and his eleven sons and passed over the ford [of the] Jabbok.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when [the Man] saw that He did not prevail against [Jacob], He touched the hollow of his thigh; and Jacob’s thigh was put out of joint as he wrestled with Him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then He said, Let Me go, for day is breaking. But [Jacob] said, I will not let You go unless You declare a blessing upon me.


book: Gen
contenido:
[The Man] asked him, What is your name? And [in shock of realization, whispering] he said, Jacob [supplanter, schemer, trickster, swindler]!


book: Gen
contenido:
And He said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob [supplanter], but Israel [contender with God]; for you have contended and have power with God and with men and have prevailed.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob asked Him, Tell me, I pray You, what [in contrast] is Your name? But He said, Why is it that you ask My name? And [the Angel of God declared] a blessing on [Jacob] there.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel [the face of God], saying, For I have seen God face to face, and my life is spared and not snatched away.


book: Gen
contenido:
That is why to this day the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the hip which is on the hollow of the thigh, because [the Angel of the Lord] touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh on the sinew of the hip.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob raised his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming and with him 400 men. So he divided the children to Leah and to Rachel and to the two maids.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he put the maids and their children in front, Leah and her children after them, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob went over [the stream] before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.


book: Gen
contenido:
[Esau] looked up and saw the women and the children and said, Who are these with you? And [Jacob] replied, They are the children whom God has graciously given your servant.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Leah also with her children came near, and they bowed themselves. After them Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed themselves.


book: Gen
contenido:
Esau said, What do you mean by all this company which I met? And he said, These are that I might find favor in the sight of my lord.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Jacob replied, No, I beg of you, if now I have found favor in your sight, receive my gift that I am presenting; for truly to see your face is to me as if I had seen the face of God, and you have received me favorably.


book: Gen
contenido:
Accept, I beg of you, my blessing and gift that I have brought to you; for God has dealt graciously with me and I have everything. And he kept urging him and he accepted it.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Jacob replied, You know, my lord, that the children are tender and delicate and need gentle care, and the flocks and herds with young are of concern to me; for if the men should overdrive them for a single day, the whole of the flocks would die.


book: Gen
contenido:
Let my lord, I pray you, pass over before his servant; and I will lead on slowly, governed by [consideration for] the livestock that set the pace before me and the endurance of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me. But [Jacob] said, What need is there for it? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Jacob journeyed to Succoth and built himself a house and made booths or places of shelter for his livestock; so the name of the place is called Succoth [booths].


book: Gen
contenido:
When Jacob came from Padan-aram, he arrived safely and in peace at the town of Shechem, in the land of Canaan, and pitched his tents before the [enclosed] town.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then he bought the piece of land on which he had encamped from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of money.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Dinah daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out [unattended] to see the girls of the place.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he seized her, lay with her, and humbled, defiled, and disgraced her.


book: Gen
contenido:
But his soul longed for and clung to Dinah daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke comfortingly to her young heart’s wishes.


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob heard that [Shechem] had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field. So Jacob held his peace until they came.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Jacob’s sons heard it, they came from the field; and they were distressed and grieved and very angry, for [Shechem] had done a vile thing to Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, which ought not to be done.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Hamor conferred with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem craves your daughter [and sister]. I beg of you give her to him to be his wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
You shall dwell with us; the country will be open to you; live and trade and get your possessions in it.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Shechem said to [Dinah’s] father and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask of me.


book: Gen
contenido:
Ask me ever so much dowry and [marriage] gift, and I will give according to what you tell me; only give me the girl to be my wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, [justifying their intended action by saying, in effect, we are going to do this] because Shechem had defiled and disgraced their sister Dinah.


book: Gen
contenido:
They said to them, We cannot do this thing and give our sister to one who is not circumcised, for that would be a reproach and disgrace to us.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then we will give our daughters to you and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you and become one people.


book: Gen
contenido:
But if you will not listen to us and consent to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was honored above all his family [so, ranking first, he acted first].


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their [enclosed] town and discussed the matter with the citizens, saying,


book: Gen
contenido:
These men are peaceable with us; so let them dwell in the land and trade in it; for the land is large enough [for us and] for them; let us take their daughters for wives and let us give them our daughters.


book: Gen
contenido:
But the men will consent to our request that they live among us and be one people only on condition that every male among us be circumcised, as they are.


book: Gen
contenido:
Shall not their cattle and their possessions and all their beasts be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell here with us.


book: Gen
contenido:
And all the people who went out of the town gate listened and heeded what Hamor and Shechem said; and every male was circumcised who was a resident of that town.


book: Gen
contenido:
But on the third day [after the circumcision] when [all the men] were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s [full] brothers, took their swords, boldly entered the city [without danger], and slew all the males.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house [where she had been all this time] and departed.


book: Gen
contenido:
[Then the rest of] Jacob’s [eleven] sons came upon the slain and plundered the town, because there their sister had been defiled and disgraced.


book: Gen
contenido:
All their wealth and all their little ones and their wives they took captive, making spoil even of all [they found] in the houses.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have ruined me, making me infamous and embroiling me with the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites! And we are few in number, and they will gather together against me and attack me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my household.


book: Gen
contenido:
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. And make there an altar to God Who appeared to you [in a distinct manifestation] when you fled from the presence of Esau your brother.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, Put away the [images of] strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves and change [into fresh] garments;


book: Gen
contenido:
Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make there an altar to God Who answered me in the day of my distress and was with me wherever I went.


book: Gen
contenido:
So they [both young men and women] gave to Jacob all the strange gods they had and their earrings which were [worn as charms against evil] in their ears; and Jacob buried and hid them under the oak near Shechem.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they journeyed and a terror from God fell on the towns round about them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Jacob came to Luz, that is, Bethel, which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people with him.


book: Gen
contenido:
There he built an altar, and called the place El-bethel [God of Bethel], for there God revealed Himself to him when he fled from the presence of his brother.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried below Bethel under an oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth [oak of weeping].


book: Gen
contenido:
And God [in a distinctly visible manifestation] appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Padan-aram, and declared a blessing on him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Again God said to him, Your name is Jacob [supplanter]; you shall not be called Jacob any longer, but Israel shall be your name. So He called him Israel [contender with God].


book: Gen
contenido:
And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you and kings shall be born of your stock;


book: Gen
contenido:
The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob set up a pillar (monument) in the place where he talked with [God], a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it and he poured oil on it.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they journeyed from Bethel and had but a little way to go to Ephrath [Bethlehem] when Rachel suffered the pangs of childbirth and had hard labor.


book: Gen
contenido:
When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, Do not be afraid; you shall have this son also.


book: Gen
contenido:
And as her soul was departing, for she died, she called his name Ben-oni [son of my sorrow]; but his father called him Benjamin [son of the right hand].


book: Gen
contenido:
When Israel dwelt there, Reuben [his eldest son] went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now Jacob’s sons were twelve.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob born to him in Padan-aram.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre or Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Isaac’s spirit departed; he died and was gathered to his people, being an old man, satisfied and satiated with days; his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah, the son of Zibeon the Hivite,


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his cattle, all his beasts, and all his possessions which he had obtained in the land of Canaan, and he went into a land away from his brother Jacob.


book: Gen
contenido:
For their great flocks and herds and possessions [which they had collected] made it impossible for them to dwell together; the land in which they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock.


book: Gen
contenido:
And this is the history of the descendants of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.


book: Gen
contenido:
These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Adah, Esau’s wife, and Reuel, the son of Basemath, Esau’s wife.


book: Gen

And Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son; and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.


book: Gen

book: Gen
contenido:
These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: Chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,


book: Gen

book: Gen
contenido:
These are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: Chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, Mizzah. These are the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom; they are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
These are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife: Chiefs Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the chiefs born of Oholibamah daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.

contenido:
Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom.


book: Gen
contenido:
These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness as he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Husham died, and Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his stead. The name of his [enclosed] city was Avith.


book: Gen
contenido:
Baal-hanan son of Achbor died, and then Hadar reigned. His [enclosed] city was Pau; his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.


book: Gen

And these are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and places of residence, by their names: Chiefs Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,


book: Gen
contenido:
Magdiel, and Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom [that is, of Esau the father of the Edomites], according to their dwelling places in their land.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father had been a stranger and sojourner, in the land of Canaan.


book: Gen
contenido:
This is the history of the descendants of Jacob and this is Jacob’s line. Joseph, when he was seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers; the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s [secondary] wives; and Joseph brought to his father a bad report of them.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a [distinctive] long tunic with sleeves.


book: Gen
contenido:
But when his brothers saw that their father loved [Joseph] more than all of his brothers, they hated him and could not say, Peace [in friendly greeting] to him or speak peaceably to him.


book: Gen
contenido:
We [brothers] were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright, and behold, your sheaves stood round about my sheaf and bowed down!


book: Gen
contenido:
His brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? Or are you going to have us as your subjects and dominate us? And they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Joseph dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brothers [also]. He said, See here, I have dreamed again, and behold, [this time not only] eleven stars [but also] the sun and the moon bowed down and did reverence to me!


book: Gen
contenido:
And he told it to his father [as well as] his brethren. But his father rebuked him and said to him, What is the meaning of this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow down ourselves to the earth and do homage to you?


book: Gen
contenido:
Joseph’s brothers envied him and were jealous of him, but his father observed the saying and pondered over it.


book: Gen
contenido:
[One day] Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brothers shepherd my flock at Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them. And he said, Here I am.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [Jacob] said to him, Go, I pray you, see whether everything is all right with your brothers and with the flock; then come back and bring me word. So he sent him out of the Hebron Valley, and he came to Shechem.


book: Gen
contenido:
And a certain man found him, and behold, he had lost his way and was wandering in the open country. The man asked him, What are you trying to find?


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said, I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, I pray you, where they are pasturing our flocks.


book: Gen
contenido:
But the man said, [They were here, but] they have gone. I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.


book: Gen
contenido:
So come on now, let us kill him and throw his body into some pit; then we will say [to our father], Some wild and ferocious animal has devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams!


book: Gen
contenido:
And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit or well that is out here in the wilderness and lay no hand on him. He was trying to get Joseph out of their hands in order to rescue him and deliver him again to his father.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Joseph had come to his brothers, they stripped him of his [distinctive] long garment which he was wearing;


book: Gen
contenido:
Then they sat down to eat their lunch. When they looked up, behold, they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites [mixed Arabians] coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum [of the styrax tree], balm (balsam), and myrrh or ladanum, going on their way to carry them down to Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites [and Midianites, these mixed Arabians who are approaching], and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brothers consented.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then as the Midianite [and Ishmaelite] merchants were passing by, the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the well. And they sold him for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took Joseph [captive] into Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Reuben [who had not been there when the brothers plotted to sell the lad] returned to the pit; and behold, Joseph was not in the pit, and he rent his clothes.


book: Gen
contenido:
He rejoined his brothers and said, The boy is not there! And I, where shall I go [to hide from my father]?


book: Gen
contenido:
Then they took Joseph’s [distinctive] long garment, killed a young goat, and dipped the garment in the blood;


book: Gen
contenido:
And they sent the garment to their father, saying, We have found this! Examine and decide whether it is your son’s tunic or not.


book: Gen
contenido:
He said, My son’s long garment! An evil [wild] beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.


book: Gen
contenido:
And all his sons and daughters attempted to console him, but he refused to be comforted and said, I will go down to Sheol (the place of the dead) to my son mourning. And his father wept for him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the Midianites [and Ishmaelites] sold [Joseph] in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and the captain and chief executioner of the [royal] guard.


book: Gen
contenido:
At that time Judah withdrew from his brothers and went to [lodge with] a certain Adullamite named Hirah.


book: Gen
contenido:
Again she conceived and bore a son and named him Shelah. [They were living] at Chezib when she bore him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Judah told Onan, Marry your brother’s widow; live with her and raise offspring for your brother.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Onan knew that the family would not be his, so when he cohabited with his brother’s widow, he prevented conception, lest he should raise up a child for his brother.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at your father’s house till Shelah my [youngest] son is grown; for he thought, Lest perhaps [if Shelah should marry her] he would die also, as his brothers did. So Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.


book: Gen
contenido:
But later Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shuah, died; and when Judah was comforted, he went up to his sheepshearers at Timnath with his friend Hirah the Adullamite.


book: Gen
contenido:
So she put off her widow’s garments and covered herself with a veil, wrapped herself up [in disguise], and sat in the entrance of Enaim, which is by the road to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown and she was not given to him as his wife.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot or devoted prostitute [under a vow to her goddess], for she had covered her face [as such women did].


book: Gen
contenido:
He turned to her by the road and said, Come, let me have intercourse with you; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me that you may have intercourse with me?


book: Gen
contenido:
He answered, I will send you a kid from the flock. And she said, Will you give me a pledge (deposit) until you send it?


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said, What pledge shall I give you? She said, Your signet [seal], your [signet] cord, and your staff that is in your hand. And he gave them to her and came in to her, and she became pregnant by him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand; but he was unable to find her.


book: Gen
contenido:
He asked the men of that place, Where is the harlot or cult prostitute who was openly by the roadside? They said, There was no harlot or temple prostitute here.


book: Gen
contenido:
So he returned to Judah and said, I cannot find her; and also the local men said, There was no harlot or temple prostitute around here.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Judah said, Let her keep [the pledge articles] for herself, lest we be made ashamed. I sent this kid, but you have not found her.


book: Gen
contenido:
But about three months later Judah was told, Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot, and also she is with child by her lewdness. And Judah said, Bring her forth and let her be burned!


book: Gen
contenido:
When she was brought forth, she [took the things he had given her in pledge and] sent [them] to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man to whom these articles belong. Then she added, Make out clearly, I pray you, to whom these belong, the signet [seal], [signet] cord, and staff.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Judah acknowledged them and said, She has been more righteous and just than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he did not cohabit with her again.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when she was in labor, one baby put out his hand; and the midwife took his hand and bound upon it a scarlet thread, saying, This baby was born first.


book: Gen
contenido:
But he drew back his hand, and behold, his brother was born first. And she said, What a breaking forth you have made for yourself! Therefore his name was called Perez [breaking forth].


book: Gen
contenido:
And afterward his brother who had the scarlet thread on his hand was born and was named Zerah [scarlet].


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain and chief executioner of the [royal] guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.


book: Gen
contenido:
But the Lord was with Joseph, and he [though a slave] was a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.


book: Gen
contenido:
And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did to flourish and succeed in his hand.


book: Gen
contenido:
So Joseph pleased [Potiphar] and found favor in his sight, and he served him. And [his master] made him supervisor over his house and he put all that he had in his charge.


book: Gen
contenido:
From the time that he made him supervisor in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the Lord’s blessing was on all that he had in the house and in the field.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [Potiphar] left all that he had in Joseph’s charge and paid no attention to anything he had except the food he ate. Now Joseph was an attractive person and fine-looking.


book: Gen
contenido:
But he refused and said to his master’s wife, See here, with me in the house my master has concern about nothing; he has put all that he has in my care.


book: Gen
contenido:
He is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept anything from me except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this great evil and sin against God?


book: Gen
contenido:
Then it happened about this time that Joseph went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the men of the house were indoors.


book: Gen
contenido:
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out [of the house].


book: Gen
contenido:
She called to the men of her household and said to them, Behold, he [your master] has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock and insult us; he came in where I was to lie with me, and I screamed at the top of my voice.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when he heard me screaming and crying, he left his garment with me and fled and got out of the house.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then she told him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you brought among us came to me to mock and insult me.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when [Joseph’s] master heard the words of his wife, saying to him, This is the way your servant treated me, his wrath was kindled.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph’s master took him and put him in the prison, a place where the state prisoners were confined; so he was there in the prison.


book: Gen
contenido:
But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy and loving-kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the warden of the prison committed to Joseph’s care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatsoever was done there, he was in charge of it.


book: Gen
contenido:
The prison warden paid no attention to anything that was in [Joseph’s] charge, for the Lord was with him and made whatever he did to prosper.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now some time later the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, Egypt’s king.


book: Gen
contenido:
He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the captain of the guard put them in Joseph’s charge, and he served them; and they continued in custody for some time.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they both dreamed a dream in the same night, each man according to [the personal significance of] the interpretation of his dream—the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison.


book: Gen
contenido:
When Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, he saw that they were sad and depressed.


book: Gen
contenido:
So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were in custody with him in his master’s house, Why do you look so dejected and sad today?


book: Gen
contenido:
And they said to him, We have dreamed dreams, and there is no one to interpret them. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me [your dreams], I pray you.


book: Gen
contenido:
And on the vine were three branches. Then it was as though it budded; its blossoms burst forth and the clusters of them brought forth ripe grapes [almost all at once].


book: Gen
contenido:
And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup; then I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.


book: Gen
contenido:
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will again put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, as when you were his butler.


book: Gen
contenido:
But think of me when it shall be well with you and show kindness, I beg of you, to me, and mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.


book: Gen
contenido:
For truly I was carried away from the land of the Hebrews by unlawful force, and here too I have done nothing for which they should put me into the dungeon.


book: Gen
contenido:
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also dreamed, and behold, I had three cake baskets on my head.


book: Gen
contenido:
And in the uppermost basket were some of all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds [of prey] were eating out of the basket on my head.


book: Gen
contenido:
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head but will have you beheaded and hung on a tree, and [you will not so much as be given burial, but] the birds will eat your flesh.


book: Gen
contenido:
And on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the heads of the chief butler and the chief baker [by inviting them also] among his servants.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he restored the chief butler to his butlership, and the butler gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;


book: Gen
contenido:
And behold, there came up out of the river [Nile] seven well-favored cows, sleek and handsome and fat; and they grazed in the reed grass [in a marshy pasture].


book: Gen
contenido:
And behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river [Nile], ill favored and gaunt and ugly, and stood by the fat cows on the bank of the river [Nile].


book: Gen
contenido:
And the ill-favored, gaunt, and ugly cows ate up the seven well-favored and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.


book: Gen
contenido:
But he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came out on one stalk, plump and good.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the seven thin ears [of grain] devoured the seven plump and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.


book: Gen
contenido:
So when morning came his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians and all the wise men of Egypt. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but not one could interpret them to [him].


book: Gen
contenido:
When Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in custody in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker,


book: Gen
contenido:
We dreamed a dream in the same night, he and I; we dreamed each of us according to [the significance of] the interpretation of his dream.


book: Gen
contenido:
And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard and chief executioner; and we told him our dreams, and he interpreted them to us, to each man according to the significance of his dream.


book: Gen
contenido:
And as he interpreted to us, so it came to pass; I was restored to my office [as chief butler], and the baker was hanged.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. But Joseph [first] shaved himself, changed his clothes, and made himself presentable; then he came into Pharaoh’s presence.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; and I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream and interpret it.


book: Gen
contenido:
Joseph answered Pharaoh, It is not in me; God [not I] will give Pharaoh a [favorable] answer of peace.


book: Gen
contenido:
And behold, there came up out of the river [Nile] seven fat, sleek, and handsome cows, and they grazed in the reed grass [of a marshy pasture].


book: Gen
contenido:
And behold, seven other cows came up after them, undernourished, gaunt, and ugly [just skin and bones; such emaciated animals] as I have never seen in all of Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when they had eaten them up, it could not be detected and known that they had eaten them, for they were still as thin and emaciated as at the beginning. Then I awoke. [But again I fell asleep and dreamed.]


book: Gen
contenido:
And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. Now I told this to the magicians, but there was no one who could tell me what it meant.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, The [two] dreams are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.


book: Gen
contenido:
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears [of grain] are seven years; the [two] dreams are one [in their meaning].


book: Gen
contenido:
And the seven thin and ill favored cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears [of grain], blighted and shriveled by the east wind; they are seven years of hunger and famine.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then there will come seven years of hunger and famine, and [there will be so much want that] all the great abundance of the previous years will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and hunger (destitution, starvation) will exhaust (consume, finish) the land.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the plenty will become quite unknown in the land because of that following famine, for it will be very woefully severe.


book: Gen
contenido:
That the dream was sent twice to Pharaoh and in two forms indicates that this thing which God will very soon bring to pass is fully prepared and established by God.


book: Gen
contenido:
So now let Pharaoh seek out and provide a man discreet, understanding, proficient, and wise and set him over the land of Egypt [as governor].


book: Gen
contenido:
Let Pharaoh do this; then let him select and appoint officers over the land, and take one-fifth [of the produce] of the [whole] land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years [year by year].


book: Gen
contenido:
And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and lay up grain under the direction and authority of Pharaoh, and let them retain food [in fortified granaries] in the cities.


book: Gen
contenido:
And that food shall be put in store for the country against the seven years of hunger and famine that are to come upon the land of Egypt, so that the land may not be ruined and cut off by the famine.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as [your] God has shown you all this, there is nobody as intelligent and discreet and understanding and wise as you are.


book: Gen
contenido:
You shall have charge over my house, and all my people shall be governed according to your word [with reverence, submission, and obedience]. Only in matters of the throne will I be greater than you are.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Pharaoh took off his [signet] ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in [official] vestments of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck;


book: Gen
contenido:
He made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and [officials] cried before him, Bow the knee! And he set him over all the land of Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph made an [inspection] tour of all the land of Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
Joseph [who had been in Egypt thirteen years] was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went [about his duties] through all the land of Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he gathered up all the [surplus] food of the seven [good] years in the land of Egypt and stored up the food in the cities; he stored away in each city the food from the fields around it.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it could not be measured.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On, bore to him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph called the firstborn Manasseh [making to forget], For God, said he, has made me forget all my toil and hardship and all my father’s house.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the second he called Ephraim [to be fruitful], For [he said] God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.


book: Gen
contenido:
The seven years of scarcity and famine began to come, as Joseph had said they would; the famine was in all [the surrounding] lands, but in all of Egypt there was food.


book: Gen
contenido:
But when all the land of Egypt was weakened with hunger, the people [there] cried to Pharaoh for food; and Pharaoh said to [them] all, Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do.


book: Gen
contenido:
When the famine was over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians; for the famine grew extremely distressing in the land of Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
And all countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all [the known] earth.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now when Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, Why do you look at one another?


book: Gen
contenido:
For, he said, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; get down there and buy [grain] for us, that we may live and not die.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Benjamin, Joseph’s [full] brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers; for he said, Lest perhaps some harm or injury should befall him.


book: Gen
contenido:
So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those who came, for there was hunger and general lack of food in the land of Canaan.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was who sold to all the people of the land; and Joseph’s [half] brothers came and bowed themselves down before him with their faces to the ground.


book: Gen
contenido:
Joseph saw his brethren and he recognized them, but he treated them as if he were a stranger to them and spoke roughly to them. He said, Where do you come from? And they replied, From the land of Canaan to buy food.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them and said to them, You are spies and with unfriendly purpose you have come to observe [secretly] the nakedness of the land.


book: Gen
contenido:
But they said, Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; the youngest is today with our father, and one is not.


book: Gen
contenido:
You shall be proved by this test: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go away from here unless your youngest brother comes here.


book: Gen
contenido:
Send one of you and let him bring your brother, and you will be kept in prison, that your words may be proved whether there is any truth in you; or else by the life of Pharaoh you certainly are spies.


book: Gen
contenido:
If you are true men, let one of your brothers be bound in your prison, but [the rest of] you go and carry grain for those weakened with hunger in your households.


book: Gen
contenido:
But bring your youngest brother to me, so your words will be verified and you shall live. And they did so.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they said one to another, We are truly guilty about our brother, for we saw the distress and anguish of his soul when he begged us [to let him go], and we would not hear. So this distress and difficulty has come upon us.


book: Gen
contenido:
Reuben answered them, Did I not tell you, Do not sin against the boy, and you would not hear? Therefore, behold, his blood is required [of us].


book: Gen
contenido:
And he turned away from them and wept; then he returned to them and talked with them, and took from them Simeon and bound him before their eyes.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then [privately] Joseph commanded that their sacks be filled with grain, every man’s money be restored to his sack, and provisions be given to them for the journey. And this was done for them.


book: Gen
contenido:
And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he caught sight of his money; for behold, it was in his sack’s mouth.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he said to his brothers, My money is restored! Here it is in my sack! And their hearts failed them and they were afraid and turned trembling one to another, saying, What is this that God has done to us?


book: Gen
contenido:
We are twelve brothers with the same father; one is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the man, the lord of the country, said to us, By this test I will know whether or not you are honest men: leave one of your brothers here with me and take grain for your famishing households and be gone.


book: Gen
contenido:
Bring your youngest brother to me; then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. And I will deliver to you your brother [whom I have kept bound in prison], and you may do business in the land.


book: Gen
contenido:
When they emptied their sacks, behold, every man’s parcel of money was in his sack! When both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Jacob their father said to them, You have bereaved me! Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and you would take Benjamin from me. All these things are against me!


book: Gen
contenido:
And Reuben said to his father, Slay my two sons if I do not bring [Benjamin] back to you. Deliver him into my keeping, and I will bring him back to you.


book: Gen
contenido:
But [Jacob] said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left [of his mother’s children]; if harm or accident should befall him on the journey you are to take, you would bring my hoary head down to Sheol (the place of the dead) with grief.


book: Gen
contenido:
But the hunger and destitution and starvation were very severe and extremely distressing in the land [Canaan].


book: Gen
contenido:
And when [the families of Jacob’s sons] had eaten up the grain which the men had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, Go again; buy us a little food.


book: Gen
contenido:
But Judah said to him, The man solemnly and sternly warned us, saying, You shall not see my face again unless your brother is with you.


book: Gen
contenido:
But if you will not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Israel said, Why did you do me such a wrong and suffer this evil to come upon me by telling the man that you had another brother?


book: Gen
contenido:
And they said, The man asked us straightforward questions about ourselves and our relatives. He said, Is your father still alive? Have you another brother? And we answered him accordingly. How could we know that he would say, Bring your brother down here?


book: Gen
contenido:
And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.


book: Gen
contenido:
I will be security for him; you shall require him of me [personally]; if I do not bring him back to you and put him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.


book: Gen
contenido:
And their father Israel said to them, If it must be so, now do this; take of the choicest products in the land in your sacks and carry down a present to the man, a little balm (balsam) and a little honey, aromatic spices and gum (of rock rose) or ladanum, pistachio nuts, and almonds.


book: Gen
contenido:
And take double the [grain] money with you; and the money that was put back in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again with you; there is a possibility that [its being in your sacks] was an oversight.


book: Gen
contenido:
May God Almighty give you mercy and favor before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved [of my sons], I am bereaved.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then the men took the present, and they took double the [grain] money with them, and Benjamin; and they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Bring the men into the house and kill an animal and make ready, for the men will dine with me at noon.


book: Gen
contenido:
The men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time we came, so that he may find occasion to accuse and assail us, take us for slaves, and seize our donkeys.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when we came to the inn, we opened our sacks and there was each man’s money, full weight, returned in the mouth of his sack. Now we have brought it back again.


book: Gen
contenido:
And we have brought down with us other money to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks.


book: Gen
contenido:
But [the steward] said, Peace be to you, fear not; your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money. And he brought Simeon out to them.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys provender.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they made ready the present they had brought for Joseph before his coming at noon, for they heard that they were to dine there.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which they had with them, and bowed themselves to him to the ground.


book: Gen
contenido:
He asked them of their welfare and said, Is your old father well, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?


book: Gen
contenido:
And they answered, Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive. And they bowed down their heads and made obeisance.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he looked up and saw his [full] brother Benjamin, his mother’s [only other] son, and said, Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to you, my son!


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph hurried from the room, for his heart yearned for his brother, and he sought privacy to weep; so he entered his chamber and wept there.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [the servants] set out [the food] for [Joseph] by himself, and for [his brothers] by themselves, and for those Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, according to the Egyptian custom not to eat food with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [Joseph’s brothers] were given seats before him—the eldest according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked at one another amazed [that so much was known about them].


book: Gen
contenido:
[Joseph] took and sent helpings to them from before him, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they drank freely and were merry with him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.


book: Gen
contenido:
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money. And [the steward] did according to what Joseph had said.


book: Gen
contenido:
When they had left the city and were not yet far away, Joseph said to his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you rewarded evil for good? [Why have you stolen the silver cup?]


book: Gen
contenido:
Is it not my master’s drinking cup with which he divines [the future]? You have done wrong in doing this.


book: Gen
contenido:
They said to him, Why does my lord say these things? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!


book: Gen
contenido:
Note that the money which we found in the mouths of our sacks we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. Is it likely then that we would steal from your master’s house silver or gold?


book: Gen
contenido:
With whomever of your servants [your master’s cup] is found, not only let that one die, but the rest of us will be my lord’s slaves.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the steward said, Now let it be as you say: he with whom [the cup] is found shall be my slave, but [the rest of] you shall be blameless.


book: Gen
contenido:
And [the steward] searched, beginning with the eldest and stopping with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then they rent their clothes; and after each man had loaded his donkey again, they returned to the city.


book: Gen
contenido:
Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house, for he was still there; and they fell prostrate before him.


book: Gen
contenido:
Joseph said to them, What is this thing that you have done? Do you not realize that such a man as I can certainly detect and know by divination [everything you do without other knowledge of it]?


book: Gen
contenido:
And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What shall we reply? Or how shall we clear ourselves, since God has found out and exposed the iniquity of your servants? Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, the rest of us as well as he with whom the cup is found.


book: Gen
contenido:
But [Joseph] said, God forbid that I should do that; but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for [the rest of] you, arise and go in peace to your father.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Judah came close to [Joseph] and said, O my lord, let your servant, I pray you, speak a word to you in private, and let not your anger blaze against your servant, for you are as Pharaoh [so I will speak as if directly to him].


book: Gen
contenido:
And we said to my lord, We have a father—an old man—and a young [brother, the] child of his old age; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s [offspring], and his father loves him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should do so, his father would die.


book: Gen
contenido:
And you told your servants, Unless your youngest brother comes with you, you shall not see my face again.


book: Gen
contenido:
But we said, We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we may not see the man’s face except our youngest brother is with us.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn to pieces, and I have never seen him since.


book: Gen
contenido:
And if you take this son also from me, and harm or accident should befall him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow and evil to Sheol (the place of the dead).


book: Gen
contenido:
Now therefore, when I come to your servant my father and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad’s life and his soul knit with the lad’s soul,


book: Gen
contenido:
When he sees that the lad is not with us, he will die; and your servants will be responsible for his death and will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.


book: Gen
contenido:
For your servant became security for the lad to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now therefore, I pray you, let your servant remain instead of the youth [to be] a slave to my lord, and let the young man go home with his [half] brothers.


book: Gen
contenido:
For how can I go up to my father if the lad is not with me?—lest I witness the woe and the evil that will come upon my father.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Joseph could not restrain himself [any longer] before all those who stood by him, and he called out, Cause every man to go out from me! So no one stood there with Joseph while he made himself known to his brothers.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he wept and sobbed aloud, and the Egyptians [who had just left him] heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard about it.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph! Is my father still alive? And his brothers could not reply, for they were distressingly disturbed and dismayed at [the startling realization that they were in] his presence.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they did so. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt!


book: Gen
contenido:
But now, do not be distressed and disheartened or vexed and angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.


book: Gen
contenido:
For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years more in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.


book: Gen
contenido:
God sent me before you to preserve for you a posterity and to continue a remnant on the earth, to save your lives by a great escape and save for you many survivors.


book: Gen
contenido:
So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
Hurry and go up to my father and tell him, Your son Joseph says this to you: God has put me in charge of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay.


book: Gen
contenido:
You will live in the land of Goshen, and you will be close to me—you and your children and your grandchildren, your flocks, your herds, and all you have.


book: Gen
contenido:
And there I will sustain and provide for you, so that you and your household and all that are yours may not come to poverty and want, for there are yet five [more] years of [the scarcity, hunger, and starvation of] famine.


book: Gen
contenido:
Now notice! Your own eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that I am talking to you personally [in your language and not through an interpreter].


book: Gen
contenido:
And you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and bring my father down here.


book: Gen
contenido:
Moreover, he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them; and after that his brothers conversed with him.


book: Gen
contenido:
When the report was heard in Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Tell your brothers this: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan,


book: Gen
contenido:
And get your father and your households and come to me. And I will give you the best in the land of Egypt and you will live on the fat of the land.


book: Gen
contenido:
You therefore command them, saying, You do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.


book: Gen
contenido:
Also do not look with regret or concern upon your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, as the order of Pharaoh permitted, and gave them provisions for the journey.


book: Gen
contenido:
To each of them he gave changes of raiment, but to Benjamin he gave 300 pieces of silver and five changes of raiment.


book: Gen
contenido:
And to his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-donkeys laden with grain, bread, and nourishing food and provision for his father [to supply all who were with him] on the way.


book: Gen
contenido:
So he sent his brothers away, and they departed, and he said to them, See that you do not disagree (get excited, quarrel) along the road.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they said to him, Joseph is still alive! And he is governor over all the land of Egypt! And Jacob’s heart began to stop beating and [he almost] fainted, for he did not believe them.


book: Gen
contenido:
But when they told him all the words of Joseph which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived [and warmth and life returned].


book: Gen
contenido:
So Israel made his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba [a place hallowed by sacred memories] and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.


book: Gen
contenido:
And He said, I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will there make of you a great nation.


book: Gen
contenido:
I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you [your people Israel] up again; and Joseph will put his hand upon your eyes [when they are about to close in death].


book: Gen
contenido:
So Jacob arose and set out from Beersheba, and Israel’s sons conveyed their father, their little ones, and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they took their cattle and the gains which they had acquired in the land of Canaan and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him:


book: Gen
contenido:
His sons and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters and his sons’ daughters—all his offspring he brought with him into Egypt.


book: Gen
contenido:
And these are the names of the descendants of Israel who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.


book: Gen
contenido:
The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.


book: Gen
contenido:
These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan-aram, together with his daughter Dinah. All of his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three.


book: Gen
contenido:
The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.


book: Gen
contenido:
These are the sons of Zilpah, [the maid] whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter. And these she bore to Jacob—sixteen persons all told.


book: Gen
contenido:
And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.


book: Gen
contenido:
These are the sons of Bilhah, [the maid] whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter. And she bore these to Jacob—seven persons in all.


book: Gen
contenido:
All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt—who were his own offspring, not counting the wives of Jacob’s sons—were sixty-six persons all told.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob [including Joseph and Jacob himself], who came into Egypt, were seventy.


book: Gen
contenido:
And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct him to Goshen and meet him there; and they came into the land of Goshen.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Joseph made ready his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen; and he presented himself and gave distinct evidence of himself to him [that he was Joseph], and [each] fell on the [other’s] neck and wept on his neck a good while.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face [and know] that you are still alive.


book: Gen
contenido:
Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, I will go up and tell Pharaoh and say to him, My brothers and my father’s household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.


book: Gen
contenido:
And the men are shepherds, for their occupation has been keeping livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.


book: Gen
contenido:
You shall say, Your servants’ occupation has been as keepers of livestock from our youth until now, both we and our fathers before us—in order that you may live in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, My father and my brothers, with their flocks and their herds and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan, and they are in the land of Goshen.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers before us.


book: Gen
contenido:
Moreover, they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, for your servants have no pasture for our flocks, for the famine is very severe in Canaan. So now, we pray you, let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.


book: Gen
contenido:
The land of Egypt is before you; make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them live in the land of Goshen. And if you know of any men of ability among them, put them in charge of my cattle.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and presented him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.


book: Gen
contenido:
Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are 130 years; few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and they have not attained to those of the life of my fathers in their pilgrimage.


book: Gen
contenido:
Joseph settled his father and brethren and gave them a possession in Egypt in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses (Goshen), as Pharaoh commanded.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph supplied his father and his brethren and all his father’s household with food, according to [the needs of] their families.


book: Gen
contenido:
[In the course of time] there was no food in all the land, for the famine was distressingly severe, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan hung in doubt and wavered by reason of the hunger (destitution, starvation) of the famine.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan [in payment] for the grain which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.


book: Gen
contenido:
And when the money was exhausted in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, Give us food! Why should we die before your very eyes? For we have no money left.


book: Gen
contenido:
Joseph said, Give up your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for [them] if your money is gone.


book: Gen
contenido:
So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and [he] gave them food in exchange for the horses, flocks, cattle of the herds, and the donkeys; and he supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.


book: Gen
contenido:
When that year was ended, they came to [Joseph] the second year and said to him, We will not hide from my lord [the fact] that our money is spent; my lord also has our herds of livestock; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands.


book: Gen
contenido:
Why should we perish before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed [to plant], that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate.


book: Gen
contenido:
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field because of the overwhelming severity of the famine upon them. The land became Pharaoh’s,


book: Gen
contenido:
And as for the people, he removed them to cities and practically made slaves of them [at their own request], from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other.


book: Gen
contenido:
Only the priests’ land he did not buy, for the priests had a fixed pension from Pharaoh and lived on the amount Pharaoh gave them. So they did not sell their land.


book: Gen
contenido:
Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have today bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.


book: Gen
contenido:
At [harvest time when you reap] the increase, you shall give one-fifth of it to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be your own to use for seed for the field and as food for you and those of your households and for your little ones.


book: Gen
contenido:
And they said, You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord; and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.

book: Exod

The locusts shall fill your houses and those of all your servants and of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen from their birth until this day. Then Moses departed from Pharaoh.


book: Exod
contenido:
And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God; do you not yet understand and know that Egypt is destroyed?


book: Exod
contenido:
So Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh; and he said to them, Go, serve the Lord your God; but just who are to go?


book: Exod

And Moses said, We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds [all of us and all we have], for we must hold a feast to the Lord.

book: Exod
contenido:
For they covered the whole land, so that the ground was darkened, and they ate every bit of vegetation of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left; there remained not a green thing of the trees or the plants of the field in all the land of Egypt.


book: Exod
contenido:
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron in haste. He said, I have sinned against the Lord your God and you.


book: Exod

book: Exod
contenido:
But Moses said, You must give into our hand also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.


book: Exod

Our livestock also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for of them must we take to serve the Lord our God, and we know not with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there.


book: Exod
contenido:
And Pharaoh said to Moses, Get away from me! See that you never enter my presence again, for the day you see my face again you shall die!
