(13) And God went up from him in the place where he spake with him.

(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? (11) And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind. (12) And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. (13) And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren 37 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I father's sojournings, in the land of Ca- will send thee unto them.

So he sent him out Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his of the vale of Hebron, and he came to father's wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father. (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. (4) And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his Shechem. (15) And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? (16) And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding the flock. (17) And the man said, They are departed In 1 Chr. i. 50, and some ancient authorities, Hadad. 2 In 1 Chr. i. 50, Pai. In 1 Chr. i. 51, Aliah. 4 Heb. Edom.

And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan: (18) And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. (19) And they said one to another, Behold, this 1 dreamer cometh. (20) Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast hath devoured him and we shall see what will become of his dreams. (21) And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand; and said, Let us not take his life. (22) And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him: that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father. (23) And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colours that was on him; (24) and they took him, and cast him into 38 And it came to pass at that time, the pit and the pit was empty, there was that Judah went down from his brethren, no water in it.

And Tamar went and hath been no harlot here. (23) And dwelt in her father's house.

And Judah said, Bring her sheep. (14) And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given unto him to wife. (15) When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; for she had covered her face. (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? (17) And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? (18) And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

(26) And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I; forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. (27) And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. (28) And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. (29) And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out and she said, 2 Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself? therefore his name was called 3 Perez.
