And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. : And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. : Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched

by force thy daughters from me. : With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. : And Laban went into Jacobs tent, and into Leahs tent, and into the two maidservants tents; but he

found them not. Then went he out of Leahs tent, and entered into Rachels tent. : Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camels furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. : And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise

And he searched but found not the images. : And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? : Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what

beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. : Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. : Thus have I been twenty years in thy house;

I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. : Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of

And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. : And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; : And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. : If thou shalt afflict my daughters,

or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. : And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee: : This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over

And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. : Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren

Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: : I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this

and whose are these before thee? : Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacobs; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us. : And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find

For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me. : So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. : And he rose

when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacobs thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. : And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. : And he said unto

him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. : And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. : And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou

dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. : And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. : And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. : Therefore the children of Israel eat not of
60
gutenberg

twg_000000000535
the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacobs thigh in the sinew that shrank. : And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the

and kissed him: and they wept. : And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. : Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. : And Leah also with her children

came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. : And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. : And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. :

And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. : Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath

and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. : Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. : And Esau said, Let me

and defiled her. : And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. : And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. : And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the

Jacobs daughter: which thing ought not to be done. : And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. : And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. : And ye shall dwell with us:
60
gutenberg

and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. : 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. : Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as

gutenberg

twg_000000000549

Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, : 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

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. : And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinahs brethren, took

They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, : And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house. : And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled

God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. : 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. : And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a
