Gen 46:1 So Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
\nGen 46:2 And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here am I.”
\nGen 46:3 Then he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.
\nGen 46:4 I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph’s hand shall close your eyes.”
\nGen 46:5 Then Jacob set out from Beersheba. The sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
\nGen 46:6 They also took their livestock and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him,
\nGen 46:7 his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters. All his offspring he brought with him into Egypt.
\nGen 46:8 Now these are the names of the descendants of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons. Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn,
\nGen 46:9 and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
\nGen 46:10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.
\nGen 46:11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
\nGen 46:12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan); and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
\nGen 46:13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Yob, and Shimron.
\nGen 46:14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
\nGen 46:15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, together with his daughter Dinah; altogether his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three.
\nGen 46:16 The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
\nGen 46:17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, with Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
\nGen 46:18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob–sixteen persons.
\nGen 46:19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife: Joseph and Benjamin.
\nGen 46:20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of On, bore to him.
\nGen 46:21 And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.
\nGen 46:22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob–fourteen persons in all.
\nGen 46:23 The sons of Dan: Hushim.
\nGen 46:24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
\nGen 46:25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob–seven persons in all.
\nGen 46:26 All the persons belonging to Jacob who came into Egypt, who were his own descendants, not including Jacob’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six persons in all.
\nGen 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy.
\nGen 46:28 He had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to show the way before him in Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.
\nGen 46:29 Then Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen. He presented himself to him and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.
\nGen 46:30 Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face and know that you are still alive.”
\nGen 46:31 Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
\nGen 46:32 And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’
\nGen 46:33 When Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’
\nGen 46:34 you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ in order that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”<\/p>\n
Gen 47:1 So Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen.”
\nGen 47:2 And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.
\nGen 47:3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were.”
\nGen 47:4 They said to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. And now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
\nGen 47:5 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
\nGen 47:6 The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. Let them settle in the land of Goshen, and if you know any able men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.”
\nGen 47:7 Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and stood him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
\nGen 47:8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days of the years of your life?”
\nGen 47:9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourning are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning.”
\nGen 47:10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
\nGen 47:11 Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers 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.
\nGen 47:12 And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their dependents.
\nGen 47:13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.
\nGen 47:14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
\nGen 47:15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone.”
\nGen 47:16 And Joseph answered, “Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
\nGen 47:17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. He supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.
\nGen 47:18 And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent. The herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land.
\nGen 47:19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate.”
\nGen 47:20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe on them. The land became Pharaoh’s.
\nGen 47:21 As for the people, he made servants of them from one end of Egypt to the other.
\nGen 47:22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.
\nGen 47:23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
\nGen 47:24 And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones.”
\nGen 47:25 And they said, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.”
\nGen 47:26 So Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh’s.
\nGen 47:27 Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
\nGen 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years.
\nGen 47:29 And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and promise to deal kindly and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,
\nGen 47:30 but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place.” He answered, “I will do as you have said.”
\nGen 47:31 And he said, “Swear to me”; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.<\/p>\n
Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
\nPsa 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
\nPsa 23:3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
\nPsa 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
\nPsa 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
\nPsa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.<\/p>\n
Mar 2:1 And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.
\nMar 2:2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them.
\nMar 2:3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
\nMar 2:4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
\nMar 2:5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
\nMar 2:6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,
\nMar 2:7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
\nMar 2:8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts?
\nMar 2:9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’?
\nMar 2:10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”–he said to the paralytic–
\nMar 2:11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.”
\nMar 2:12 And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
\nMar 2:13 He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.
\nMar 2:14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
\nMar 2:15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.
\nMar 2:16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
\nMar 2:17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
\nMar 2:18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
\nMar 2:19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
\nMar 2:20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
\nMar 2:21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.
\nMar 2:22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins–and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.”
\nMar 2:23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.
\nMar 2:24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
\nMar 2:25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:
\nMar 2:26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?”
\nMar 2:27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
\nMar 2:28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
