¹² And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Jehovah blessed him. ¹³ And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great: ¹⁴ and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him.

¹⁶ who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end:

And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

¹³ [When] our garners are full, affording all manner of store,
[And] our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; ¹⁴ [When] our oxen are well laden;
[When there is] no breaking in, and no going forth,
And no outcry in our streets: ¹⁵ Happy is the people that is in such a case;
[Yea], happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.

²² The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich;
And he addeth no sorrow therewith.

⁸ Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; [and] the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

¹¹ Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

² And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

⁴¹ Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,

⁷ The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

¹⁸ And it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said, What wouldest thou? ¹⁹ And she said, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.

⁴ Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me.

¹² When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth,
And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

²⁰ At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father's house.

³² And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

⁷ And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years.

²⁸ And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fourscore years.

²⁸ And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty and seven years.

²³ And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph's knees.

²⁶ So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

⁷ And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

²⁹ And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.

¹⁰ The days of our years are threescore years and ten,
Or even by reason of strength fourscore years;
Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow;
For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

⁶ Yea, see thou thy children's children.
Peace be upon Israel.

⁶ Children's children are the crown of old men;
And the glory of children are their fathers.

¹⁵ But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

⁸ And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years], and was gathered to his people.

² that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

²⁶ Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age,
Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.

¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him,
And show him my salvation.

¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand;
In her left hand are riches and honor.
