34:1  And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto
Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
 34:2  And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of
the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and
defiled her.
 34:3  And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and
he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
 34:4  And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me
this damsel to wife.
 34:5  And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter:
now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held
his peace until they were come.
 34:6  And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to
commune with him.
 34:7  And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they
heard [it]: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth,
because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's
daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
 34:8  And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son
Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to
wife.
 34:9  And make ye marriages with us, [and] give your daughters
unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
 34:10  And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be
before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions
therein.
 34:11  And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren,
Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I
will give.
 34:12  Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give
according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to
wife.
 34:13  And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his
father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah
their sister:
 34:14  And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to
give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a
reproach unto us:
 34:15  But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as
we [be], that every male of you be circumcised;
 34:16  Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will
take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we
will become one people.
 34:17  But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised;
then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
 34:18  And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
 34:19  And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because
he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more
honourable than all the house of his father.
 34:20  And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of
their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
 34:21  These men [are] peaceable with us; therefore let them
dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, [it
is] large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us
for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
 34:22  Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell
with us, to be one people, if every male among us be
circumcised, as they [are] circumcised.
 34:23  [Shall] not their cattle and their substance and every
beast of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent unto them, and
they will dwell with us.
 34:24  And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all
that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was
circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
 34:25  And it came to pass on the third day, when they were
sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's
brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city
boldly, and slew all the males.
 34:26  And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge
of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went
out.
 34:27  The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the
city, because they had defiled their sister.
 34:28  They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses,
and that which [was] in the city, and that which [was] in the
field,
 34:29  And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and
their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that [was]
in the house.
 34:30  And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me
to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among
the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I [being] few in number,
they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me;
and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
 34:31  And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with
an harlot?
 35:1  And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and
dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared
unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
 35:2  Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that
[were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among
you, and be clean, and change your garments:
 35:3  And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make
there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my
distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
 35:4  And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which
[were] in their hand, and [all their] earrings which [were] in
their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which [was] by
Shechem.
 35:5  And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the
cities that [were] round about them, and they did not pursue
after the sons of Jacob.
 35:6  So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan,
that [is], Bethel, he and all the people that [were] with him.
 35:7  And he built there an altar, and called the place
Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled
from the face of his brother.
 35:8  But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried
beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called
Allonbachuth.
 35:9  And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of
Padanaram, and blessed him.
 35:10  And God said unto him, Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name
shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy
name: and he called his name Israel.
 35:11  And God said unto him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful
and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of
thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
 35:12  And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I
will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
 35:13  And God went up from him in the place where he talked
with him.
 35:14  And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked
with him, [even] a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink
offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
 35:15  And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake
with him, Bethel.
 35:16  And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a
little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she
had hard labour.
 35:17  And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that
the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son
also.
 35:18  And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for
she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father
called him Benjamin.
 35:19  And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath,
which [is] Bethlehem.
 35:20  And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the
pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
 35:21  And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the
tower of Edar.
 35:22  And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land,
that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine:
and Israel heard [it]. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
 35:23  The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and
Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
 35:24  The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
 35:25  And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and
Naphtali:
 35:26  And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and
Asher: these [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in
Padanaram.
 35:27  And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto
the city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac
sojourned.
 35:28  And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore
years.
 35:29  And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered
unto his people, [being] old and full of days: and his sons
Esau and Jacob buried him.
 36:1  Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.
 36:2  Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the
daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of
Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
 36:3  And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
 36:4  And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
 36:5  And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these
[are] the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of
Canaan.
 36:6  And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his
daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle,
and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in
the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of
his brother Jacob.
 36:7  For their riches were more than that they might dwell
together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not
bear them because of their cattle.
 36:8  Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau [is] Edom.
 36:9  And these [are] the generations of Esau the father of
the Edomites in mount Seir:
 36:10  These [are] the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son
of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife
of Esau.
 36:11  And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and
Gatam, and Kenaz.
 36:12  And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she
bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these [were] the sons of Adah Esau's
wife.
 36:13  And these [are] the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah,
Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's
wife.
 36:14  And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of
Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau
Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
 36:15  These [were] dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of
Eliphaz the firstborn [son] of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar,
duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
 36:16  Duke Korah, duke Gatam, [and] duke Amalek: these [are]
the dukes [that came] of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these
[were] the sons of Adah.
 36:17  And these [are] the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke
Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these [are] the
dukes [that came] of Reuel in the land of Edom; these [are] the
sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
 36:18  And these [are] the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife;
duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these [were] the dukes
[that came] of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.
 36:19  These [are] the sons of Esau, who [is] Edom, and these
[are] their dukes.
 36:20  These [are] the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited
the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
 36:21  And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these [are] the dukes
of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
 36:22  And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and
Lotan's sister [was] Timna.
 36:23  And the children of Shobal [were] these; Alvan, and
Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
 36:24  And these [are] the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and
Anah: this [was that] Anah that found the mules in the
wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
 36:25  And the children of Anah [were] these; Dishon, and
Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
 36:26  And these [are] the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and
Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
 36:27  The children of Ezer [are] these; Bilhan, and Zaavan,
and Akan.
 36:28  The children of Dishan [are] these; Uz, and Aran.
 36:29  These [are] the dukes [that came] of the Horites; duke
Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
 36:30  Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these [are] the
dukes [that came] of Hori, among their dukes in the land of
Seir.
 36:31  And these [are] the kings that reigned in the land of
Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of
Israel.
 36:32  And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name
of his city [was] Dinhabah.
 36:33  And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah
reigned in his stead.
 36:34  And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani
reigned in his stead.
 36:35  And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote
Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name
of his city [was] Avith.
 36:36  And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his
stead.
 36:37  And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth [by] the river
reigned in his stead.
 36:38  And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned
in his stead.
 36:39  And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned
in his stead: and the name of his city [was] Pau; and his
wife's name [was] Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the
daughter of Mezahab.
 36:40  And these [are] the names of the dukes [that came] of
Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their
names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
 36:41  Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
 36:42  Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
 36:43  Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these [be] the dukes of Edom,
according to their habitations in the land of their possession:
he [is] Esau the father of the Edomites.
 37:1  And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a
stranger, in the land of Canaan.
 37:2  These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being]
seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren;
and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of
Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father
their evil report.
 37:3  Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children,
because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat
of [many] colours.
 37:4  And when his brethren saw that their father loved him
more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak
peaceably unto him.
 37:5  And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] his
brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
 37:6  And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream
which I have dreamed:
 37:7  For, behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field,
and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold,
your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
 37:8  And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign
over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they
hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
 37:9  And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his
brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and,
behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made
obeisance to me.
 37:10  And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren:
and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What [is] this
dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy
brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the
earth?
 37:11  And his brethren envied him; but his father observed
the saying.
 37:12  And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in
Shechem.
 37:13  And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed
[the flock] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them.
And he said to him, Here [am I].
 37:14  And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be
well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me
word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he
came to Shechem.
 37:15  And a certain man found him, and, behold, [he was]
wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What
seekest thou?
 37:16  And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee,
where they feed [their flocks].
 37:17  And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard
them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his
brethren, and found them in Dothan.
 37:18  And when they saw him afar off, even before he came
near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
 37:19  And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer
cometh.
 37:20  Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him
into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured
him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
 37:21  And Reuben heard [it], and he delivered him out of
their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
 37:22  And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, [but] cast
him into this pit that [is] in the wilderness, and lay no hand
upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver
him to his father again.
 37:23  And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his
brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, [his] coat
of [many] colours that [was] on him;
 37:24  And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit
[was] empty, [there was] no water in it.
 37:25  And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up
their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites
came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and
myrrh, going to carry [it] down to Egypt.
 37:26  And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit [is it]
if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
 37:27  Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let
not our hand be upon him; for he [is] our brother [and] our
flesh. And his brethren were content.
 37:28  Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they
drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to
the Ishmeelites for twenty [pieces] of silver: and they brought
Joseph into Egypt.
 37:29  And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph
[was] not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
 37:30  And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child
[is] not; and I, whither shall I go?
 37:31  And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the
goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
 37:32  And they sent the coat of [many] colours, and they
brought [it] to their father; and said, This have we found:
know now whether it [be] thy son's coat or no.
 37:33  And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son's coat; an
evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in
pieces.
 37:34  And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his
loins, and mourned for his son many days.
 37:35  And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to
comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I
will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his
father wept for him.
 37:36  And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar,
an officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.
 38:1  And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down
from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose
name [was] Hirah.
 38:2  And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite,
whose name [was] Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
 38:3  And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his
name Er.
 38:4  And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called
his name Onan.
 38:5  And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called
his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
 38:6  And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name
[was] Tamar.
 38:7  And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of
the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
 38:8  And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife,
and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
 38:9  And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it
came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he
spilled [it] on the ground, lest that he should give seed to
his brother.
 38:10  And the thing which he did displeased the LORD:
wherefore he slew him also.
 38:11  Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a
widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for
he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren [did].
And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
 38:12  And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's
wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his
sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the
Adullamite.
 38:13  And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law
goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
 38:14  And she put her widow's garments off from her, and
covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an
open place, which [is] by the way to Timnath; for she saw that
Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
 38:15  When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] an harlot;
because she had covered her face.
 38:16  And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I
pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she
[was] his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give
me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
 38:17  And he said, I will send [thee] a kid from the flock.
And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, till thou send
[it]?
 38:18  And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she
said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that [is] in
thine hand. And he gave [it] her, and came in unto her, and she
conceived by him.
 38:19  And she arose, and went away, and laid by her veil from
her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
 38:20  And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the
Adullamite, to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand: but
he found her not.
 38:21  Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where [is]
the harlot, that [was] openly by the way side? And they said,
There was no harlot in this [place].
 38:22  And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her;
and also the men of the place said, [that] there was no harlot
in this [place].
 38:23  And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be
shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
 38:24  And it came to pass about three months after, that it
was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played
the harlot; and also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom.
And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
 38:25  When she [was] brought forth, she sent to her father in
law, saying, By the man, whose these [are, am] I with child:
and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these, the
signet, and bracelets, and staff.
 38:26  And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She hath been
more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my
son. And he knew her again no more.
 38:27  And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that,
behold, twins [were] in her womb.
 38:28  And it came to pass, when she travailed, that [the one]
put out [his] hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his
hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
 38:29  And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that,
behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou
broken forth? [this] breach [be] upon thee: therefore his name
was called Pharez.
 38:30  And afterward came out his brother, that had the
scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
 39:1  And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an
officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought
him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down
thither.
 39:2  And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous
man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
 39:3  And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and
that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
 39:4  And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him:
and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had
he put into his hand.
 39:5  And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him
overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD
blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the
blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and
in the field.
 39:6  And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he
knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And
Joseph was [a] goodly [person], and well favoured.
 39:7  And it came to pass after these things, that his
master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with
me.
 39:8  But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold,
my master wotteth not what [is] with me in the house, and he
hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
 39:9  [There is] none greater in this house than I; neither
hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou
[art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and
sin against God?
 39:10  And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day,
that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with
her.
 39:11  And it came to pass about this time, that [Joseph] went
into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the
men of the house there within.
 39:12  And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me:
and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
 39:13  And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his
garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
 39:14  That she called unto the men of her house, and spake
unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to
mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a
loud voice:
 39:15  And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my
voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled,
and got him out.
 39:16  And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came
home.
 39:17  And she spake unto him according to these words,
saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us,
came in unto me to mock me:
 39:18  And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried,
that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
 39:19  And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of
his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner
did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
 39:20  And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the
prison, a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound: and he
was there in the prison.
 39:21  But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and
gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
 39:22  And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand
all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatsoever
they did there, he was the doer [of it].
 39:23  The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that
was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and [that]
which he did, the LORD made [it] to prosper.
 40:1  And it came to pass after these things, [that] the
butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their
lord the king of Egypt.
 40:2  And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers,
against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the
bakers.
 40:3  And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of
the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
 40:4  And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them,
and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
 40:5  And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his
dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of
his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which
[were] bound in the prison.
 40:6  And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked
upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad.
 40:7  And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in
the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye [so]
sadly to day?
 40:8  And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and
[there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them,
[Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I
pray you.
 40:9  And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said
to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
 40:10  And in the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as
though it budded, [and] her blossoms shot forth; and the
clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
 40:11  And Pharaoh's cup [was] in my hand: and I took the
grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup
into Pharaoh's hand.
 40:12  And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation
of it: The three branches [are] three days:
 40:13  Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head,
and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver
Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou
wast his butler.
 40:14  But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and
show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me
unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
 40:15  For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the
Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put
me into the dungeon.
 40:16  When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was
good, he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and,
behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head:
 40:17  And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner
of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the
basket upon my head.
 40:18  And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the
interpretation thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:
 40:19  Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head
from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds
shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
 40:20  And it came to pass the third day, [which was]
Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants:
and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief
baker among his servants.
 40:21  And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership
again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
 40:22  But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had
interpreted to them.
 40:23  Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but
forgat him.
