Exodus 6

1 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Now will you see what I will do to the Great House (Pharaoh): for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand will he drive them out of his land.”

2 Then God ('Elohiym) spoke to Drawn (Moses), and said to him, “I AM That I AM (the LORD, Yehovah):

3 I appeared to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), to Laughter (Isaac), and to Heel-Grabber (Jacob), by the name of God the Nurturer (El Shaddai), but by my name I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) was I not known to them.

4 I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Humbled One (Canaan), the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

5 I have also heard the groaning of the children of God Prevails (Israel) , whom the Double Straighters (Egyptians) keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

6 Therefore say to the children of God Prevails (Israel) , I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Double Straighters (Egyptians). I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm with great judgments:

7 And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you God ('Elohiym): and ye shall know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Double Straighters (Egyptians).

8 I will bring you in to the land, which I swore to give to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), to Laughter (Isaac), and to Heel-Grabber (Jacob); and I will give it you for an heritage: I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).”

9 Drawn (Moses) spoke so to the children of God Prevails (Israel) : but they didn't listened to Drawn (Moses) for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

10 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), saying,

11 “Go in, speak to the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt), tell him to let the children of God Prevails (Israel) go out of his land.”

12 But Drawn (Moses) spoke before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), saying, “Look, the children of God Prevails (Israel) have not listened to me; how then shall the Great House (Pharaoh) hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?”

13 But I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses) and to Light Bringer (Aaron), and gave them a charge to the children of God Prevails (Israel) , and to the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt), to bring the children of God Prevails (Israel) out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

14 These are the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Behold a Son (Reuben) the firstborn of God Prevails (Israel) ; Dedicated (Hanoch), and Distinguished (Pallu), Surrounded By a Wall (Hezron), and My Vineyard (Carmi): these are the families of Behold a Son (Reuben).

15 The sons of Heard (Simeon); Day of God (Jemuel) , Right Hand (Jamin), United (Ohad) , He Will Establish (Jachin), Tawny (Zohar), and Desired (Saul) the son of a Humbled One (Canaanite) woman: these are the families of Heard (Simeon).

16 These are the names of the sons of Joined To (Levi) according to their generations; Exile (Gershon), Assembly (Kohath), and Bitter (Merari): and the years of the life of Joined To (Levi) were an hundred thirty and seven years.

17 The sons of Exile (Gershon); White (Libni), and Renowned (Shimi), according to their families.

18 And the sons of Assembly (Kohath); Exalted People (Amram) , Shining Oil (Izhar), Association (Hebron), and My Strength is God (Uzziel) The years of the life of Assembly (Kohath) were an hundred thirty and three years.

19 And the sons of Bitter (Merari); Infirmity (Mahali), and Yielding (Mushi): these are the families of Joined To (Levi) according to their generations.

20 Then Exalted People (Amram) took him Jehovah is Glory (Jochebed) his father's sister to wife; and she bore him Light Bringer (Aaron) and Drawn (Moses). The years of the life of Exalted People (Amram) were an hundred and thirty and seven years.

21 The sons of Shining Oil (Izhar); Bald (Korah), and Sprout (Nepheg), and Memorable (Zichri).

22 And the sons of My Strength is God (Uzziel); Who Is What God Is (Mishael), My God Has Protected (Elzaphan), and Protection of Jehovah (Zithri).

23 Then Light Bringer (Aaron) took My God hath Sworn (Elisheba), daughter of Kindred of the Prince (Amminadab), sister of Enchanter (Naashon), to wife; and she bore him Generous (Nadab), He Is My Father (Abihu), God hath Helped (Eleazar), and Coast of Palms (Ithamar).

24 The sons of Bald (Korah); Prisoner (Assir), God hath Possessed (Elkanah), and My Father hath Gathered (Abiasaph): these are the families of The Bald Ones (Korhites).

25 God has Helped (Eleazar), Light Bringer (Aaron)'s son, took one of the daughters of Afflicted of God (Putiel) to wife; and she bore him Mouth of Brass (Phinehas). These are the heads of the fathers of the Children of Joined To (Levites) according to their families.

26 These are the ones that Light Bringer (Aaron) and Drawn (Moses), to whom I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said, “Bring out the children of God Prevails (Israel) from the land of Double Straights (Egypt) according to their armies.”

27 These are they who spoke to the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt), to bring out the children of God Prevails (Israel) from Double Straights (Egypt): Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron).

28 And it came to pass on the day when I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses) in the land of Double Straights (Egypt),

29 That I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), saying, “I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): speak to the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt) all that I say to you.”

30 And Drawn (Moses) confessed before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall the Great House (Pharaoh) listen to me?”

Exodus 5

1 After that Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) went in, and told the Great House (Pharaoh), “Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of God Prevails (Israel), 'Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'”

2 The Great House (Pharaoh) said, “Who is I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), that I should obey His voice to let God Prevails (Israel) go? I know not I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), neither will I let God Prevails (Israel) go.”

3 They said, “The God of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews) has met with us. Please, let us go three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God; lest He fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.”

4 The king of Double Straights (Egypt) said to them, “Why do you, Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), draw the people from their works? Get back to work.”

5 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) said, “Look, the people of the land are now many, and you want to make them rest from their burdens.”

6 The Great House (Pharaoh) commanded that same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

7 “Do not give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

8 And don't reduce the tale of the bricks required of them. Expect not one less. They've got to much time on their hands; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

9 Let there more work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard vain words.”

10 So the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “The Great House (Pharaoh) says, I will not give you straw.

11 Go, get straw where ye can find it. Yet none of your quota will be diminished.”

12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) to gather stubble instead of straw.

13 And the taskmasters pushed them, saying, “Fulfill your quota and your daily tasks, as when there was straw.”

14 The officers of the children of God Prevails (Israel), whom the Great House's (Pharaoh's) taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, “Why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as before?”

15 Then the officers of the children of God Prevails (Israel) came and cried to the Great House (Pharaoh), saying, “Why are you dealing this way with your servants?

16 There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”

17 But he said, “You are idle, you are idle: therefore you say, Let us go and do sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

18 Now go back to work. There shall no straw be given you, yet you will produce the same amount of bricks.”

19 And the officers of the children of God Prevails (Israel) saw that they were in trouble, after it was said, “You shall not produce any less bricks each day.”

20 So they met Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), who stood in the way, as they came out of their meeting with the Great House (Pharaoh):

21 They said to them, “I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) look upon you, and judge; because you have made our smell to be abhorred in the eyes of the Great House (Pharaoh), and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.”

22 Then Drawn (Moses) returned to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and said, “Lord, why have You so evil entreated this people? Why is it that You have sent me?

23 For since I came to the Great House (Pharaoh) to speak in Your name, he has done evil to Your people; neither have You delivered Your people at all.”

Exodus 4

1 Drawn (Moses) answered saying, “But they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice. They will say, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has not appeared to you.”

2 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”

3 He said, “Cast it on the ground.” As he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Drawn (Moses) fled from before it.

4 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail.” He put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand.

5 “That they may believe that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of their fathers, the God ('Elohiym) of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), the God ('Elohiym) of Laughter (Isaac), and the God ('Elohiym) of Heel-Grabber (Jacob), has appeared to you.”

6 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said furthermore to him, “Put now your hand into your bosom.” So he put his hand into his bosom and when he took it out, his hand was leprous as snow.

7 Then He said, “Put your hand into your bosom again.” So he put his hand into his bosom again and took it out of his bosom. It had turned back again as his other flesh.

8 If they will not believe you, or listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land. The water which you take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.”

10 Drawn (Moses) said to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), O my Lord, I am not eloquent. I never have been, and still am not, even since You have spoken to Your servant. I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

11 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I I AM (the LORD, Yehovah)?

12 Now, therefore go. I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.”

13 But Drawn (Moses) begged, “O my Lord, please send someone else!”

14 And the anger of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) was kindled against Drawn (Moses), and he said, “Isn't Light Bringer (Aaron) the Joined To (Levite) your brother? I know that he can speak well. Right now he is coming to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

15 You shall speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.

16 He will be your spokesman to the people. He shall be to your mouth, and you shall be to him as God.

17 You will take this rod in your hand, wherewith you will do signs.”

18 Then Drawn (Moses) went and returned to His Abundance (Jethro) his father in law, and said to him, “Let me go, please and return to my brethren who are in Double Straights (Egypt), and see whether they are yet alive.” His Abundance (Jethro) answered Drawn (Moses), “Go in peace.”

19 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses) in Strife (Midian), “Go, return to Double Straights (Egypt). All the men are dead who sought your life.”

20 Drawn (Moses) took his wife and his sons, and set them on an ass, and he returned to the land of Double Straights (Egypt). Then Drawn (Moses) took the rod of God in his hand.

21 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “When you return to Double Straights (Egypt), see that you do all those wonders before the Great House (Pharaoh), which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.

22 You shall say to the Great House (Pharaoh), 'Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), God Prevails (Israel) is my son, even my firstborn.

23 And I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn'.”

24 On the way at the inn, that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) met him, and sought to kill him.

25 Then A Little Bird (Zipporah) took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, “Surely you are a bloody husband to me.”

26 So he let him go: then she said, “A bloody husband you are, because of the circumcision.”

27 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Light Bringer (Aaron), “Go to the wilderness to meet Drawn (Moses). So he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.

28 Drawn (Moses) told Light Bringer (Aaron) all the words of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.

29 Then Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) went and gathered together all the elders of the children of God Prevails (Israel).

30 Light Bringer (Aaron) relayed all the words which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had spoken to Drawn (Moses), and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 And the people believed: and when they heard that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had visited the children of God Prevails (Israel) , and that He had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

Exodus 3

1 Now Drawn (Moses) kept the flock of His Abundance (Jethro) his father in law, the priest of Strife (Midian). He led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God ('Elohiym), at Desert (Horeb).

2 The angel of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and, saw a bush burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

3 Drawn (Moses) said, “I have to see this great sight and why the bush is not burnt.”

4 When I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) saw that he turned aside to see, God ('Elohiym) called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Drawn (Moses), Drawn (Moses) .” Drawn (Moses) replied, “Here I am.”

5 He said, “Do not come close. Take your shoes off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”

6 Moreover He said, “I am the God ('Elohiym) of your father, the God ('Elohiym) of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), the God ('Elohiym) of Laughter (Isaac), and the God of Heel-Grabber (Jacob).” Drawn (Moses) hid his face; for he was afraid to look on God ('Elohiym).

7 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said, “I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Double Straights (Egypt), and have heard their cry against their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.

8 I am coming down to deliver them out of the hand of the Double Straighters (Egyptians), and to bring them up out of that land to a good spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), and the Terrors (Hittite), and the The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), and the Village Dwellers (Perizzite), and the Villagers (Gibeonites were Hivites), and the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusites - original inhabitants of Jerusalem).

9 The cry of the children of God Prevails (Israel) has come to me and I have seen the oppression with which the Double Straighters (Egyptians) oppress them.

10 Come now therefore. I will send you to the Great House (Pharaoh), to bring forth my people, the children of God Prevails (Israel), out of Double Straights (Egypt).”

11 Drawn (Moses) asked God ('Elohiym), “Who am I, that I should go to the Great House (Pharaoh), and that I should bring forth the children of God Prevails (Israel) out of Double Straights (Egypt)?”

12 And He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be a sign to you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Double Straights (Egypt), you shall serve God ('Elohiym) on this mountain.”

13 Drawn (Moses) asked God ('Elohiym), “When I come to the children of God Prevails (Israel) , and say to them, The God ('Elohiym) of your fathers has sent me to you, they will say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?”

14 God ('Elohiym) answered Drawn (Moses), I AM THAT I AM”: and He added, “This is what you shall say to the children of God Prevails (Israel) , I AM has sent me to you.”

15 God ('Elohiym) also said to Drawn (Moses), “This is what you will say to the children of God Prevails (Israel): I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of your fathers, the God ('Elohiym) of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), the God ('Elohiym) of Laughter (Isaac), and the God ('Elohiym) of Heel-Grabber (Jacob), has sent me to you: this is My Name for ever, and this is My memorial to all generations.

16 Go, gather the elders of God Prevails (Israel) together, and say to them, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of your fathers, the God ('Elohiym) of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), of Laughter (Isaac), and of Heel-Grabber (Jacob), appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Double Straights (Egypt).

17 I have decided and proclaimed that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Double Straights (Egypt) into the land of the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), and the Terrors (Hittite), and the The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), and the Village Dwellers (Perizzite), and the Villagers (Gibeonites were Hivites), and the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusite - original inhabitants of Jerusalem), into a land flowing with milk and honey.

18 They will listen to your voice: and you will go, you and the elders of God Prevails (Israel) , to the king of Double Straights (Egypt), and you will say to him, 'I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews) has met with us. Now let us go, we beseech you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God ('Elohiym).'

19 I am sure that the king of Double Straights (Egypt) will not let you go, no, not but by a mighty hand.

20 I will stretch out my hand, and smite Double Straights (Egypt) with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of them. After that he will let you go.

21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Double Straighters (Egyptians). It shall come to pass, that, when you go, you will not go empty.

22 Every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her who dwells in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing. You will put them on your sons, and on your daughters; and you will spoil the Double Straighters (Egyptians).”

Exodus 2

1 There was a man of the house of Joined To (Levi), who took a wife who was also a of the tribe of Joined To (Levi).

2 The woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw how precious he was, she hid him for three months.

3 And when she could no longer hide him, she made an ark of bulrushes for him, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid it in the reeds by the river's brink.

4 His sister stood afar off, to see what would be done to him.

5 The daughter of the Great House (Pharaoh) came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to fetch it.

6 When she had opened it, she saw the child: and the baby started crying. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews)' children.”

7 Then his sister said to the Great House's (Pharaoh) daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse of the One From Beyond (Hebrew) women to you, that she may nurse the child for you?”

8 The Great House's (Pharaoh) daughter said to her, “Go.” And the maid went and called the child's mother.

9 The Great House's (Pharaoh) daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will pay you.” So, the woman took the child, and nursed it.

10 The child grew, and she brought him to the Great House's (Pharaoh) daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Drawn (Moses). She explained, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

11 When Drawn (Moses) was grown, he went out to his brethren, and looked on their burdens. He came across an Double Straighter (Egyptian) beating a One From Beyond (Hebrew), one of his brethren.

12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one around, he slew the Double Straighter (Egyptian), and hid him in the sand.

13 Then when he went out the second day, Two men of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews) were fighting: and he said to him that did the wrong, “Why did you beat your fellow countryman?”

14 He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Are you going to kill me, as you killed the Double Straighter (Egyptian)?” And Drawn (Moses) feared, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”

15 Now when the Great House (Pharaoh) heard this thing, he sought to slay Drawn (Moses). But Drawn (Moses) fled from the face of the Great House (Pharaoh), to dwell in the land of Strife (Midian). There he sat down by a well.

16 Now the priest of Strife (Midian) had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

17 But the shepherds came and drove them away. So Drawn (Moses) stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18 And when they came to Friend of God ('Elohiym) (Reuel) their father, he said, “How is it that you are back so soon today?”

19 They answered, “A Double Straighter (Egyptian) delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.”

20 He said to his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat with us.”

21 And Drawn (Moses) was content to dwell with the man. Then he gave Drawn (Moses) A Little Bird (Zipporah) his daughter.22 She bore him a son, and he called his name Exile (Gershom): for he said, “I have been a stranger in a strange land.”

23 It came to pass in process of time, that the king of Double Straights (Egypt) died: and the children of God ('Elohiym) Prevails (Israel) sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God ('Elohiym) by reason of the bondage.

24 And God ('Elohiym) heard their groaning, and God ('Elohiym) remembered his covenant with Father of a Multitude (Abraham), with Laughter (Isaac), and with Heel-Grabber (Jacob).

25 And God ('Elohiym) looked upon the children of God ('Elohiym) Prevails (Israel), and God ('Elohiym) honored their cry.

Exodus 1

1 Now these are the names of the children of God Prevails (Israel),who came into Double Straights (Egypt); every man and his household came with Heel-Grabber (Jacob).

2 Behold a Son (Reuben), Heard (Simeon), Joined To (Levi), and Praised (Judah),

3 Recompense (Issachar), Exalted (Zebulun), and Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin),

4 Judge (Dan), and Wrestling (Naphtali), Troop (Gad), and Happy (Asher).

5 All the souls that came out of the loins of Heel-Grabber (Jacob) were seventy souls: for Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) was in Double Straights (Egypt) already.

6 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

7 And the children of God Prevails (Israel) were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty. The land was filled with them.

8 Now there arose a new king over Double Straights (Egypt) who did not know Yehovah Will Add (Joseph).

9 He said to his people, “The people of the children of God Prevails (Israel) are more and mightier than we.

10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when war comes, they join our enemies, and fight against us, and take over the land.

11 Therefore they set over them taskmasters to afflict them with burdens. And they built for the Great House (Pharaoh) the treasure cities, The City of Justice (Pithom) and Child of the Sun (Rameses).

12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. They grieved because of the children of God Prevails (Israel).

13 Then the Double Straighters (Egyptians) made the children of God Prevails (Israel) to serve with even more rigor.

14 They made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor.

15 Then the king of Double Straights (Egypt) spoke to the One From Beyond (Hebrew) midwives, of which the name of the one was Fair (Shiphrah), and the name of the other Splendid (Puah):

16 He said, “When you do the practice of a midwife to the One From Beyond (Hebrew) women, and see them on the stools; if it be a son, then kill him: but if it be a daughter, then let her live.”

17 But the midwives feared God ('Elohiym), and did not do as the king of Double Straights (Egypt) commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

18 The king of Double Straights (Egypt) called for the midwives, and questioned them, “Why have you done this thing, and saved the men children alive?”

19 The midwives answered the Great House (Pharaoh), “Because the One From Beyond (Hebrew) women are not as the Double Straighter (Egyptian) women. They are lively, and are delivered before the midwives come to them.”

20 Therefore God ('Elohiym) dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.

21 And because the midwives feared God ('Elohiym), He made them houses.

22 And the Great House (Pharaoh) charged the people of God Prevails (Israel), saying, “Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.”

The Beginning (Genesis) 50

CHAPTER 50

1 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) fell on his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him.

2 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father. So, the physicians embalmed God Prevails (Israel) .

3 The forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed. The Double Straighters (Egyptians) mourned for him 70 days.

4 When the days of his mourning were past, Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) spoke to the house of the Great House (Pharaoh) saying, “If now I have found grace in your eyes, please speak in the ears of the Great House (Pharaoh). Tell him:

5 My father made me swear, saying, “I am dying. I want you to bury me in my grave which I have dug for me in the land of Humbled One (Canaan). Now therefore, please, let me go up and bury my father, and I will come back again.”

6 The Great House (Pharaoh) said, “Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear.”

7 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of the Great House (Pharaoh), the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Double Straights (Egypt),

8 And all the house of Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Drawing Near (Goshen).

9 There went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

10 They came to the threshing floor of Buckthorn (Atad), which is beyond the Descender (Jordan), and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), saw the mourning in the floor of Buckthorn (Atad), they said, “This is a grievous mourning to the Double Straighters (Egyptians). This is why the name of it was called Breath of Double Straights (Abel-Mizraim), which is beyond Descender (Jordan).

12 And his sons did to him according as he commanded them.

13 They carried him into the land of Humbled One (Canaan), and buried him in the cave of the field of Double Portion (Machpelah), which Father of a Multitude (Abraham) bought with the field for a possession of a burying place from Fawn-Like (Ephron) the Terror (Hittite), before Strength (Mamre).

14 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) returned into Double Straights (Egypt), he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 When Yehovah Will Add (Joseph)'s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, “Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) will probably hate us, and will certainly repay us all the evil which we did to him.”

16 And they sent a messenger to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,

17 Say to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), Please forgive the trespass of your brethren, and their sin; for they did evil to you. Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) wept when they spoke to him.

18 His brothers also went and fell down before his face. They said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

19 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) answered them, “Fear not. Am I in the place of God?

20 But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

21 Now therefore fear not: I will nourish you, and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

22 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) dwelt in Double Straights (Egypt), he, and his father's house: and Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) lived a hundred and ten years.

23 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) saw Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim)'s children of the third generation. The children also of Sold (Machir) the son of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) were brought up on Yehovah Will Add (Joseph)'s knees.

24 And Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to his brethren, “I am dying. God ('Elohiym) will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), to Laughter (Isaac), and to Heel-Grabber (Jacob).”

25 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) took an oath of the children of God Prevails (Israel) saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

26 So Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Double Straights (Egypt).

The Beginning (Genesis) 49

1 Heel-Grabber (Jacob) called his sons, and said, “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what will befall you in the last days.

2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Heel-Grabber (Jacob); and listen to God Prevails (Israel) your father.

3 Behold a Son (Reuben), you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

4 Unstable as water, you will not excel; because you went up to your father's bed; then you defiled it. He went up to my couch.

5 Heard (Simeon) and Joined To (Levi) are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

6 O my soul, come not their secret. Into their assembly, my honor, be not united. In their anger, they slew a man, and in their self will they hamstrung an ox.

7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Heel-Grabber (Jacob), and scatter them in God Prevails (Israel) .

8 Praised (Judah), you are he whom your brethren shall praise. Your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies. Your Father's children shall bow down before you.

9 Praised (Judah) is a lion's whelp. With the prey, my son, you climb high. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

10 The scepter shall not depart from Praised (Judah), nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Tranquility (Shiloh) come; and to him shall the gathering of the people be.

11 Binding his foal to the vine, and his ass's colt to the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes.

12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

13 Exalted (Zebulun) shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be n haven for ships; and his border shall be to Hunter/Fisher (Zidon).

14 Recompense (Issachar) is a strong ass couching down between two burdens.

15 He saw that rest was good, and that the land was pleasant. He bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant to tribute.

16 Judge (Dan) shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of God Prevails (Israel) .

17 Judge (Dan) shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that bites the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.

18 I have waited for your salvation, O LORD.

19 Troop (Gad), a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.

20 Out of Happy (Asher) his bread will be fat, and he will yield royal dainties.

21 Wrestling (Naphtali) is a deer let loose: he gives good words.

22 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall.

23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:

24 But his bow was strong, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Heel-Grabber (Jacob); (from there is the shepherd, the stone of God Prevails (Israel).

25 The God of your father will help you. The the Nurturer (El Shaddai), will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lie under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:

26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They will be on the head of Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

27 Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin) is a ravenous wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.

28 These are the twelve tribes of God Prevails (Israel). And this is what their father spoke over them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

29 Then he charged them, saying, I am to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Fawn-Like (Ephron) the Terror (Hittite),

30 In the cave in the field of Double Portion (Machpelah), which is before Strength (Mamre), in the land of Humbled One (Canaan), which Father of a Multitude (Abraham) bought with the field of Fawn-Like (Ephron) the Terror (Hittite) for a possession of a burying place.

31 There they buried Father of a Multitude (Abraham) and Noblewoman (Sarah) his wife; there they buried Laughter (Isaac) and Secured (Rebekah) his wife; and there I buried Weary (Leah).

32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is there was from the children of Terror (Heth).

33 And when Heel-Grabber (Jacob) had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered to his people.

The Beginning (Genesis) 48

1 And it came to pass after these things, that Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) was told, “Your father is sick.” He took his two sons, Causing to Forget (Manasseh) and Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) with him.

2 When Heel-Grabber (Jacob) was told, “Your son Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) has come to see you.” God Prevails (Israel) strengthened himself, and sat up on the bed.

3 Heel-Grabber (Jacob) said, “Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), God the Nurturer (El Shaddai) appeared to me at Almond Tree (Luz) in the land of Humbled One (Canaan), and blessed me,

4 And said to me, Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people; and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.

5 Now your two sons, Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) and Causing to Forget (Manasseh), which were born to you in the land of Double Straights (Egypt) before I came to you in Double Straights (Egypt), are mine; as Behold a Son (Reuben) and Heard (Simeon), they shall be mine.

6 Your children, which you have after them, shall be yours, but shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

7 As for me, when I came from Field (Padan), Ewe (Rachel) died by me in the land of Humbled One (Canaan) on the way, a little way from Ash-Heap: Place of Fruitfulness (Ephrath). I buried her there in the way of Ash-Heap: Place of Fruitfulness (Ephrath). (The same is House of Bread (Bethlehem).)”

8 God Prevails (Israel) looked at Yehovah Will Add's (Joseph) sons, and said, “Who are these?”

9 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”

10 Now the eyes of God Prevails (Israel) were dim for age, so that he could not see. Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) brought them near him. He kissed them, and embraced them.

11 Then God Prevails (Israel) said to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), “I did not think I would see your face again: and here God ('Elohiym) has shown me your seed as well!”

12 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

13 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) took them both, Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) in his right hand toward God Prevail's (Israel) left hand, and Causing to Forget (Manasseh) in his left hand toward God Prevails (Israel) 's right hand, and brought them near him.

14 God Prevails (Israel) stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim)'s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Causing to Forget (Manasseh)'s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Causing to Forget (Manasseh) was the firstborn.

15 Then he blessed Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), saying, “God ('Elohiym), before whom my fathers Father of a Multitude (Abraham) and Laughter (Isaac) did walk, the God ('Elohiym) which fed me all my life long to this day,

16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Father of a Multitude (Abraham) and Laughter (Isaac); and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”

17 When Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim), it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful's (Ephraim) head to Causing to Forget's (Manasseh) head.

18 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to his father, “Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put your right hand upon his head.”

19 But his father refused, saying, “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.

20 And he blessed them that day, saying, “In you shall God Prevails (Israel) bless, saying, God ('Elohiym) make you as Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) and as Causing to Forget (Manasseh).” And he set Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) before Causing to Forget (Manasseh).

21 Then God Prevails (Israel) said to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), “I am dying. But, God ('Elohiym) will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.

22 I have given to you one portion above your brethren, which I took out of the hand of the The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite) with my sword and with my bow.”
