Matthew Chapter 21
21:1And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Yahshua two disciples,
21:2Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
21:3And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Master hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
21:4All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
21:5Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a donkey.
21:6And the disciples went, and did as Yahshua commanded them,
21:7And brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
21:8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
21:9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of Yahweh; Hosanna in the highest.
21:10And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
21:11And the multitude said, This is Yahshua the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
21:12And Yahshua went into the temple of Yahweh, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
21:13And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
21:14And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
21:15And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased.
21:16And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Yahshua saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
21:17And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
21:18Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
21:19And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
21:20And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21:21Yahshua answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
21:22And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
21:23And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
21:24And Yahshua answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
21:25The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
21:26But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
21:27And they answered Yahshua, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
21:28But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
21:29He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented and went.
21:30And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
21:31Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Yahshua saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of Yahweh before you.
21:32For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
21:33Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
21:34And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
21:35And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
21:36Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
21:37But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
21:38But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
21:39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
21:40When the owner therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
21:41They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
21:42Yahshua saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is Yahweh's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
21:43Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of Yahweh shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
21:44And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
21:45And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
21:46But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
21:1And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Yahshua two disciples,
21:2Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
21:3And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Master hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

Revelation Chapter 21
21:1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
21:2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from Elohim out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Yahweh himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim.
21:4And Elohim shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
21:5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
21:6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
21:7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son.
21:8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
21:9And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
21:10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from Elohim,
21:11Having the glory of Elohim: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
21:12And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
21:13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
21:16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
21:17And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is of the angel.
21:18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
21:19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
21:20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21:21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
21:22And I saw no temple therein : for Yahweh El Shaddai and the Lamb are the temple of it.
21:23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of Elohim did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
21:24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
21:25And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
21:26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
21:27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
21:1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
21:2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from Elohim out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Yahweh himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim.

21:7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son.
21:8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
21:9And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

21:13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
21:16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
21:17And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is of the angel.
21:18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
21:19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
21:20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21:22And I saw no temple therein : for Yahweh El Shaddai and the Lamb are the temple of it.
21:23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of Elohim did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
21:24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
21:25And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
21:26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
21:27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Proverb Chapter 21
21:1The king's heart is in the hand of Yahweh, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
21:2Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but Yahweh pondereth the hearts.
21:3To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.
21:4An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
21:5The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
21:6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
21:7The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
21:8The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
21:9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
21:10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
21:11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
21:12The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but Elohim overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
21:13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
21:14A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
21:15It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
21:16The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
21:17He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
21:18The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
21:19It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
21:20There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
21:21He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
21:22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
21:23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
21:24Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
21:25The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
21:26He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
21:27The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
21:28A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
21:29A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
21:30There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.
21:31The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of Yahweh.

Genesis Chapter 31 & 32
31:1And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
31:2And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
31:3And Yahweh said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
31:4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
31:5And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the Elohim of my father hath been with me.
31:6And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
31:7And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but Elohim suffered him not to hurt me.
31:8If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
31:9Thus Elohim hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
31:10And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
31:11And the angel of Elohim spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
31:12And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
31:13I am the El of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
31:14And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
31:15Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
31:16For all the riches which Elohim hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever Elohim hath said unto thee, do.
31:17Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
31:18And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
31:19And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
31:20And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
31:21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
31:22And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
31:23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
31:24And Elohim 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.
31:25Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
31:26And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
31:27Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
31:28And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
31:29It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the Elohim of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
31:30And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my mighty ones?
31:31And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
31:32With whomsoever thou findest thy mighty ones, 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.
31:33And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
31:34Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
31:35And she said to her father, Let it not displease my sovereign that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
31:36And 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?
31:37Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
31:38This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
31:39That which was torn of 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.
31:40Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
31:41Thus 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.
31:42Except the Elohim of my father, the Elohim of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. Elohim hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
31:43And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
31:44Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
31:45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
31:46And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
31:47And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
31:48And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
31:49And Mizpah; for he said, Yahweh watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
31:50If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, Elohim is witness betwixt me and thee.
31:51And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
31:52This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
31:53The Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Nahor, the Elohim of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
31:54Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
31:55And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
31:1And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
31:2And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
31:3And Yahweh said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
31:4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
31:5And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the Elohim of my father hath been with me.
31:6And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
31:7And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but Elohim suffered him not to hurt me.
31:8If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
31:9Thus Elohim hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
31:10And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
31:11And the angel of Elohim spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
31:12And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
31:13I am the El of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
31:14And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
31:15Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
31:16For all the riches which Elohim hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever Elohim hath said unto thee, do.
31:17Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
31:18And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
31:19And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
31:20And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
31:21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
31:22And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
31:23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
31:24And Elohim 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.
31:25Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
31:26And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
31:27Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
31:28And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
31:29It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the Elohim of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
31:30And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my mighty ones?
31:31And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
31:32With whomsoever thou findest thy mighty ones, 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.
31:33And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
31:34Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
31:35And she said to her father, Let it not displease my sovereign that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
31:36And 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?
31:37Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
31:38This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
31:39That which was torn of 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.
31:40Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
31:41Thus 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.
31:42Except the Elohim of my father, the Elohim of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. Elohim hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
31:43And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
31:44Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
31:45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
31:46And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
31:47And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
31:48And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
31:49And Mizpah; for he said, Yahweh watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
31:50If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, Elohim is witness betwixt me and thee.
31:51And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
31:52This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
31:53The Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Nahor, the Elohim of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
31:54Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
31:55And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Genesis Chapter 32
32:1And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of Elohim met him.
32:2And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is Elohim's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
32:3And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
32:4And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my sovereign Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
32:5And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my sovereign, that I may find grace in thy sight.
32:6And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
32:7Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
32:8And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
32:9And Jacob said, O Elohim of my father Abraham, and Elohim of my father Isaac, Yahweh which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
32:10I 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 Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
32:11Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
32:12And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
32:13And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
32:14Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
32:15Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she donkeys, and ten foals.
32:16And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
32:17And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
32:18Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my sovereign Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
32:19And 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 him.
32:20And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. 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.
32:21So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
32:22And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
32:23And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
32:24And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
32:25And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
32:26And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
32:27And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
32:28And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with Elohim and with men, and hast prevailed.
32:29And 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.
32:30And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.
32:31And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32:32Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
32:1And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of Elohim met him.
32:2And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is Elohim's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
32:3And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
32:4And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my sovereign Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
32:5And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my sovereign, that I may find grace in thy sight.
32:6And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
32:7Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
32:8And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
32:9And Jacob said, O Elohim of my father Abraham, and Elohim of my father Isaac, Yahweh which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
32:10I 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 Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
32:11Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
32:12And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
32:13And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
32:14Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
32:15Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she donkeys, and ten foals.
32:16And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
32:17And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
32:18Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my sovereign Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
32:19And 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 him.
32:20And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. 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.
32:21So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
32:22And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
32:23And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
32:24And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
32:25And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
32:26And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
32:27And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
32:28And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with Elohim and with men, and hast prevailed.
32:29And 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.
32:30And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.
32:31And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32:32Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
