1
 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
2
 But when the Pharisees saw
it,
they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3
 But he said unto them,
Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4
Â
how he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
5
Â
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6
Â
But I say unto you, That in this place is
one
greater than the temple.
7
Â
But if ye had known what
this
meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8
Â
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
9
 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
10
 and, behold, there was a man which had
his
hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11
 And he said unto them,
What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift
it
out?
12
Â
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13
 Then saith he to the man,
Stretch forth thine hand.
And he stretched
it
forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14
 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15
 But when Jesus knew
it,
he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
16
 and charged them that they should not make him known:
17
 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
18
 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19
 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20
 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21
 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
A Psalm of David.
1
 L
ORD
, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2
 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3
Â
He that
backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4
 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the L
ORD
.
He that
sweareth to
his own
hurt, and changeth not.
5
Â
He that
putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these
things
shall never be moved.
21
 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22
 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23
 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24
 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25
 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26
 For the L
ORD
shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
1
 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2
 These
are
the generations of Jacob.
Joseph,
being
seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad
was
with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
3
 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he
was
the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of
many
colours.
4
 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5
 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told
it
his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6
 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7
 for, behold, we
were
binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8
 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9
 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10
 And he told
it
to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What
is
this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11
 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12
 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
13
 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed
the flock
in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them.
And he said to him, Here
am I.
14
 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15
 And a certain man found him, and, behold,
he was
wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16
 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed
their flocks.
17
 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18
 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19
 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
20
 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21
 And Reuben heard
it,
and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
22
 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood,
but
cast him into this pit that
is
in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
23
 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat,
his
coat of
many
colours that
was
on him;
24
 and they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit
was
empty,
there was
no water in it.
25
 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry
it
down to Egypt.
26
 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit
is it
if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27
 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he
is
our brother
and
our flesh. And his brethren were content.
28
 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty
pieces
of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29
 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph
was
not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
30
 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child
is
not; and I, whither shall I go?
31
 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32
 and they sent the coat of
many
colours, and they brought
it
to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it
be
thy son's coat or no.
33
 And he knew it, and said,
It is
my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
34
 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35
 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
36
 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's,
and
captain of the guard.
38:
1
 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name
was
Hirah.
2
 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name
was
Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
3
 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
4
 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
5
 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
6
 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name
was
Tamar.
7
 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the L
ORD
; and the L
ORD
slew him.
8
 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9
 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled
it
on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
10
 And the thing which he did displeased the L
ORD
: wherefore he slew him also.
11
 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren
did.
And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
12
 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13
 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
14
 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which
is
by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
15
 When Judah saw her, he thought her
to be
an harlot; because she had covered her face.
16
 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she
was
his daughter in law.)
And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
17
 And he said, I will send
thee
a kid from the flock.
And she said, Wilt thou give
me
a pledge, till thou send
it?
18
 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee?
And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that
is
in thine hand. And he gave
it
her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
19
 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20
 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive
his
pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
21
 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where
is
the harlot, that
was
openly by the way side?
And they said, There was no harlot in this
place.
22
 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said,
that
there was no harlot in this
place.
23
 And Judah said, Let her take
it
to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
24
 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she
is
with child by whoredom.
And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
25
 When she
was
brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these
are, am
I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose
are
these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
26
 And Judah acknowledged
them,
and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
27
 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins
were
in her womb.
28
 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that
the one
put out
his
hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
29
 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth?
this
breach
be
upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
30
 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
