Proverb Chapter 29
29:1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
29:2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
29:3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
29:4The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
29:5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
29:6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
29:7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
29:8Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
29:9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
29:10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
29:11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
29:12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
29:13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: Yahweh lighteneth both their eyes.
29:14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
29:15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
29:16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
29:17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
29:18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
29:19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
29:20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
29:21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
29:22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
29:23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
29:24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
29:25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in Yahweh shall be safe.
29:26Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from Yahweh.
29:27An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
29:1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

Genesis Chapter 47 & 48
47:1Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
47:2And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
47:3And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
47:4They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
47:5And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
47:6The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
47:7And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
47:8And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
47:9And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
47:10And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
47:11And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
47:12And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
47:13And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
47:14And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
47:15And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
47:16And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
47:17And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
47:18When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my sovereign, how that our money is spent; my sovereign also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my sovereign, but our bodies, and our lands:
47:19Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
47:20And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
47:21And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
47:22Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
47:23Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
47:24And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
47:25And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my sovereign, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
47:26And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
47:27And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
47:28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
47:29And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
47:30But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
47:31And he said, swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
47:1Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
47:2And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
47:3And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
47:4They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

47:6The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.

47:31And he said, swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
Genesis Chapter 48
48:1And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
48:2And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
48:3And Jacob said unto Joseph, El Shaddai appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
48:4And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
48:5And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
48:6And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
48:7And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
48:8And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
48:9And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom Elohim hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
48:10Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
48:11And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, Elohim hath shewed me also thy seed.
48:12And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
48:13And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
48:14And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
48:15And he blessed Joseph, and said, Elohim, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the Elohim which fed me all my life long unto this day,
48:16The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
48:17And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
48:18And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
48:19And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
48:20And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, Elohim make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
48:21And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but Elohim shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
48:22Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
48:1And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
48:2And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
48:3And Jacob said unto Joseph, El Shaddai appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
