Or who cast its cornerstone, ⁷ when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? ⁸ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst out; it came forth from the womb? ⁹ When I made the clouds to clothe it, and darkness its navel-band; ¹⁰ and I broke My limit on it, and set bars and doors; ¹¹ and I said, You shall come to here, but no further; and here your proud waves shall be set? ¹² Have you commanded the morning from your days, and caused the dawn to know its place, ¹³ that it might take hold of the wings of the earth; that the wicked might be shaken out of it? ¹⁴ It is turned like clay under a seal; and they stand out like a garment. ¹⁵ And their light is withheld from the wicked, and the high arm shall be broken. ¹⁶ Have you gone to the springs of the sea; or have you walked in searching of the deep? ¹⁷ Have death's gates been opened to you; or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death? ¹⁸ Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Declare, if you know it all! ¹⁹ Where is this, the way light dwells; and where is the place of darkness, ²⁰ that you should take it to its boundary, and that you should perceive the paths to its house? ²¹ You know, for then you were born, and the number of your days is great. ²² Have you entered into the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, ²³ which I have reserved for the time of distress for the day of battle and war? ²⁴ How is it, the way the light is distributed; and how does the east wind spread itself on the earth? ²⁵ Who has cut a channel for the flood; or a way for the thunderclaps, ²⁶ to make rain fall on the earth where no man is, a wilderness and no man in it; ²⁷ to satisfy the waste and desolation, and to cause the source of grass to sprout? ²⁸ Is there a father for the rain? Or who has given birth to the drops of dew? ²⁹ From whose womb comes forth the ice; and the frost of the heavens, who fathered it; ³⁰ the waters hidden like stone, and the face of the deep is captured? ³¹ Can you bind the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion? ³² Can you bring out the constellations in their season; or can you guide the Bear with its sons? ³³ Do you know the limits of the heavens; can you establish their rulership on the earth? ³⁴ Can you lift your voice to the clouds, so that floods of water may cover you? ³⁵ Can you send lightnings, that they may go and say to you, Here we are ? ³⁶ Who has put wisdom in the inward parts; or who has given understanding to the mind? ³⁷ Who can by wisdom number the clouds or who can lay down the jars of the heavens, ³⁸ when the dust is melted into hardness, and the clods cling fast together? ³⁹ Will you hunt the prey for the lion, or fill the appetite of the young lions, ⁴⁰ when they crouch in dens, and sit in the cover of their hiding place? ⁴¹ Who provides food for the raven, when its young ones cry to God and wander about without food?

¹ Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, or hold down his tongue with a cord? ² Can you put a reed rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a thorn? ³ Will he multiply pleas for help to you; or will he speak soft words to you? ⁴ Will he cut a covenant with you; will you take him for a slave forever? ⁵ Will you play with him as with a bird; or will you tie him up for your maidens? ⁶ Shall your partners bargain over him; shall they divide him among the merchants? ⁷ Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fishing spears? ⁸ Put your hand on him; remember the battle; you will not do it again! ⁹ Behold, his hope has been made false; will he not be cast down at the sight of him? ¹⁰ None is so fierce as to dare to stir him up. Who then is able to stand before Me? ¹¹ Who has gone before Me that I should repay? All under the heavens, it is Mine! ¹² I will not keep silent as to his limbs, or the matter of his powers, or the grace of his frame. ¹³ Who can take off the face of his covering; who can come with his double bridle? ¹⁴ Who can pry open the doors of his face? Terror is all around his teeth. ¹⁵ The rows of shields are his pride, shut up with a tight seal; ¹⁶ one is so near to another that no air can come between them; ¹⁷ they are joined to one another; they clasp each other, so that they cannot be separated. ¹⁸ His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are as the eyelids of the dawn. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go burning torches; sparks of fire fly out. ²⁰ Smoke goes out of his nostrils like a boiling pot fired by reeds. ²¹ His breath kindles coals and the flame goes out from his mouth. ²² Strength abides in his neck and terror dances before him. ²³ The folds of flesh cleave together, cast firm on him; he cannot be moved. ²⁴ His heart is cast hard as a stone, even cast hard as a piece of riding millstone. ²⁵ The mighty are afraid from his arising; from the crashings they miss the way. ²⁶ The sword overtakes him, but will not hold firm, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin. ²⁷ He counts iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood. ²⁸ A son of a bow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned to stubble by him; ²⁹ darts are counted as straw; he laughs at the shaking of a javelin. ³⁰ Points of potsherds are under him; he spreads sharp marks on the mire. ³¹ He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment; ³² he makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be grayheaded. ³³ There is nothing like him on earth, one made without fear. ³⁴ He beholds all high things; he is king over all the sons of pride.

⁵ Your mercy, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness to the dust clouds . ⁶ Your righteousness is like the hills of God; Your judgments are a great deep; O Jehovah, You preserve animal and man.

⁹ Jehovah is good to all; and His tender mercies are over all His works.

¹¹ and should I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand men who do not know between the right and the left hand, and many cattle?

²¹ And all flesh that moved on the earth died: the fowl, and cattle, and beast, and every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, and all mankind. ²² All died in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land. ²³ And every living thing which was on the face of the earth was wiped away, from man to cattle, and to the creeping things, and the fowl of the heavens. And they were wiped off from the earth, and only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.

²¹ And Jehovah smelled the soothing fragrance, and Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground for the sake of man, because the imagination of the heart of man is evil from his youth. Yea, I will not again smite every living thing as I have done; ²² While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

⁹ For this is the waters of Noah to Me; for as I swore to refrain from passing over the waters of Noah over the earth again, so I have sworn from being and with you and rebuking you.

⁷ But the heavens and the earth now, having been stored up by the same word, are being kept for fire to a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

¹¹ Then all these being about to be dissolved, what sort ought you to be in holy behavior and godliness,

¹¹ And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. And it shall be a token of the covenant between Me and you.

¹³ And the blood shall be a sign to you, on the houses where you are . And I will see the blood, and I will pass over you. And the plague shall not be on you to destroy, when I strike in the land of Egypt.

¹⁶ And it shall be for a sign on your hand, and frontlets between your eyes. For Jehovah brought us out from Egypt by the might of His hand.

¹² And now, please swear by me by Jehovah, since I have dealt with you in kindness, that you will also deal with my father's house in kindness, and shall give to me a true token;

²⁶ And as they ate, taking the bread and blessing it, Jesus broke and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body. ²⁷ And taking the cup, and giving thanks, He gave to them, saying, Drink all of it. ²⁸ For this is My blood of the New Covenant which concerning many is being poured out for remission of sins.

²³ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; ²⁴ and giving thanks, He broke and said, Take, eat; this is My body which is broken on behalf of you; this do in remembrance of Me. ²⁵ In the same way the cup also, after supping, saying, This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink, do this in remembrance of Me. See Luke 22:19, 20

²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of the rain, so appeared the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

³ And the One sitting was in appearance like a jasper stone, and a sardius; and a rainbow was around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.

¹ And I saw another strong angel coming down out of the heaven, having been clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow on the head; and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.

¹² And you shall put the two stones on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the face of Jehovah, on his two shoulders for a remembrance.

⁴² then I will remember My covenant with Jacob; and also My covenant with Isaac; and I shall also remember My covenant with Abraham, and I shall remember the land. ⁴³ For the land shall be forsaken by them, and shall satisfy for its sabbaths, in the desolation without them. And they shall satisfy for their iniquity, because, even because, they have kicked against My judgments, and their soul has loathed My statutes. ⁴⁴ And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I hate them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I am Jehovah their God. ⁴⁵ Then I shall remember for them the covenant of the first fathers, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God; I am Jehovah.

⁹ Because of this, know that Jehovah your God, He is God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to those who love Him, and to those who keep His commands, to a thousand generations;

²³ and said, Jehovah, God of Israel, there is no God like You in the heavens above or on the earth beneath; who keeps covenant and mercy with Your servants that walk before You with all their heart;

³² And now our God, the great, the mighty and the fearful God, keeping the covenant and the mercy, let it not seem little before You, all the trouble which has found us, to our kings, to our rulers, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers, and to all Your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.

⁴⁵ He remembered His covenant for them, and breathed a sigh, according to His many mercies.

⁸ In a flood of wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but I will have pity on you with everlasting kindness, says Jehovah your Redeemer.

²¹ For Your name's sake, do not spurn us; do not dishonor the throne of Your glory. Remember, and do not break Your covenant with us.

⁶⁰ But I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will raise up to you an everlasting covenant.

⁷² to execute mercy with our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant,

⁹ Behold! I, even I, am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you, ¹⁰ and with every living creature which is with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every animal of the earth with you, from all that go out from the ark, to every animal of the earth. ¹¹ And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh shall not be cut off again by the waters of a flood; nor shall there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth.

⁷ And I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

¹³ Surely the child of your house and the purchase of your money must be circumcised. And My covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.

¹⁹ And God said, Your wife Sarah truly shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I have established My covenant with him for a perpetual covenant with his seed after him.

⁵ For is not my house so with God? For He has made an everlasting covenant with me, ordered in all things, and sure; for all my salvation, and all my desire, will He not make it grow?

³ I have cut a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant, ⁴ I will establish Your seed forever, and build up Your throne to all generations. Selah.

³ Bend your ear and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will cut a covenant everlasting with you, the faithful mercies of David.

⁴⁰ And I will cut an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do good to them. But I will put My fear in their heart, that they shall not depart from Me.

²⁰ Now the God of Peace, He leading up out of the dead, the great Shepherd of the sheep, in the blood of the everlasting covenant, our Lord Jesus,

²³ And Shem and Japheth took a garment and put it on both their shoulders. And they went backward and covered the nakedness of their father, their faces backward. And they did not see the nakedness of their father.

²⁵ And he said, Cursed be Canaan. He shall be a slave of slaves to his brothers. ²⁶ And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; and may Canaan be his slave. ²⁷ God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall live in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall be their slave.

¹ And these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

⁶ And Ham's sons were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

⁴ Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

³² And Noah was five hundred years old. And Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ³ And Gomer's sons were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ⁴ And Javan's sons were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ⁵ The coasts of the nations were divided by these in their lands each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations. ⁶ And Ham's sons were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. ⁷ And the sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And Raamah's sons were Sheba and Dedan. ⁸ And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the land. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; so it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah. ¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ From that land he went forth to Assyria and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth the city, and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city. ¹³ And Mizraim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, who from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim. ¹⁵ And Canaan fathered his firstborn Sidon, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, as far as Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha. ²⁰ These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their countries, in their nations. ²¹ And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. ²² The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. ²³ And Aram's sons were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ²⁴ And Arpachshad fathered Salah; and Salah fathered Eber. ²⁵ And two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. ²⁶ And Joktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, ²⁷ and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ²⁸ and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ²⁹ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. These all were the sons of Joktan. ³⁰ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, an eastern mountain. ³¹ These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations. ³² These were the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, in their nations. And from these the nations were divided in the earth after the flood.

⁴ Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. ⁵ The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ⁶ And the sons of Gomer were Ashchenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ⁷ And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ⁸ The sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan, ⁹ and the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. ¹⁰ And Cush fathered Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth. ¹¹ And Mizraim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ¹² and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came the Philistines and the Caphthorim. ¹³ And Canaan fathered Zidon his first-born, and Heth, ¹⁴ the Jebusite also, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁵ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁶ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. ¹⁷ The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech. ¹⁸ And Arphaxad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber. ¹⁹ And to Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. ²⁰ And Joktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah, ²¹ and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ²² and Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ²³ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. ²⁴ Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, ²⁵ Eber, Peleg, Reu, ²⁶ Serug, Nahor, Terah, ²⁷ Abram (he was Abraham). ²⁸ The sons of Abraham: Isaac and Ishmael.

¹⁸ And it shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall eat the plant of the field. ¹⁹ By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until your return to the ground. For you have been taken out of it; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

²³ Jehovah God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground out of which he was taken.

² And she continued to bear his brother, Abel. And Abel became a shepherd of flocks. And Cain became a tiller of the ground.

²⁹ And he called his name Noah, saying, This one shall comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands because of the ground which the Lord has cursed.

⁶ And who is the man that has planted a vineyard, and has not used its fruit? Let him go and return to his house, that he not die in battle, and another man use its fruit.

³⁰ You shall betroth a wife, and another shall lie with her. You shall build a house, and you shall not live in it. You shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use its fruit.

¹¹ The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

¹¹ He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he chasing vanities lacks heart.

³⁰ I went over the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man lacking heart,

⁹ And the advantage of a land, it is among all; even a king has a field being tilled.

⁶ Do not look at me, that I am black, that the sun has looked on me. My mother's sons were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard I have not kept.

²⁴ Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he open and break the clods of his ground? ²⁵ When he has leveled its surface, does he not strew black cummin, and scatter cummin, and place wheat in rows, and barley in its place, and spelt in its border? ²⁶ And He instructs him for the right; his God teaches him.

⁷ Who serves as a soldier at his own wages at any time? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock and does not eat of the milk of the flock?

⁹ These are the generations of Noah. Noah, a righteous man, had been perfected among his family. Noah walked with God.

³² Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him, that we may keep alive seed of our father. ³³ And they caused their father to drink wine that night. And the first born went in and lay with her father. And he did not know when she lay down nor when she rose up. ³⁴ And on the next day it happened, the first born said to the younger, Behold, I lay with my father last night. Let us cause him to drink wine tonight also. And you go in and lie with him, so that we may keep alive seed of our father. ³⁵ And they caused their father to drink wine that night also. And the younger rose up and lay with him. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she rose up. ³⁶ And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

¹ Wine is a mocker, strong drink is stirring, and each one straying by it is not wise.

³¹ Do not look at the wine when it is red, when it gives its color in the cup, when it goes down smoothly, ³² at its last it bites like a snake, and it stings like a basilisk.

²⁰ For there is not a just man on the earth who does good, and does not sin.

¹⁵ Woe to him who causes his friend to drink, pouring out your wineskin, and also making him drunk, so as to look upon their nakedness! ¹⁶ You are filled with shame instead of glory; you drink also, and will be seen as uncircumcised. The cup of the right hand of Jehovah shall turn on you, and disgrace shall be your glory.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, the one having been called Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve. ⁴ And going, he talked with the chief priests and the commanders as to how he might betray Him.

¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day, not in carousings and drunkennesses, not in co-habitation and lustful acts, not in fighting and envy.

¹² So that he that thinks to stand, let him be careful that he not fall.

²¹ envyings, murders, drunkennesses, wild parties, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also said before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

² aged men to be temperate, sensible, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

¹⁸ I advise you to buy from Me gold having been fired by fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, and your shame and nakedness may not be revealed. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

²⁵ And he said, Cursed be Canaan. He shall be a slave of slaves to his brothers.

¹⁵ And Canaan fathered his firstborn Sidon, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, as far as Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha.

¹⁹ The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places. How are the mighty fallen! ²⁰ Tell it not in Gath; do not make it known in the streets of Ashkelon, that the daughters of the Philistines not rejoice; that the daughters of the uncircumcised not exult.

⁸ The sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan,

¹³ And Canaan fathered Zidon his first-born, and Heth, ¹⁴ the Jebusite also, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁵ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁶ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite.

²⁰ For they do not speak peace; but they devise deceitful things against the quiet ones of the earth. ²¹ And they open their mouth wide against me; they say, Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen.

¹⁵ Let them be desolate until it is the reward for their shame; for they are saying to me, Aha! Aha!

³ Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame, those who say, Aha, aha!

⁹ Contend for your cause with your neighbor, and do not uncover the secret of another,

¹⁷ The eye that mocks its father, and despises to obey its mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the sons of the eagle shall eat it.

¹² But you should not have looked on the day of your brother, on the day of his alienation; nor should you have rejoiced over the sons of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor should you have enlarged your mouth in the day of distress. ¹³ You should not have entered into My people's gate on the day of his calamity; also you should not have looked on his evil on the day of his calamity, nor should you have sent out against his force in the day of his calamity.

¹⁵ But if your brother sins against you, go and reprove him between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

⁶ does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth.

¹ Brothers, if a man is taken in some fault, you, the spiritual ones, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, that you not also be tempted.

¹² Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long on the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you.

³² You shall rise up in the face of gray hair; and you shall honor the face of an old man; and be afraid of your God. I am Jehovah.

⁷ Then give to all their dues: to the one due tax, the tax; to the one due tribute, the tribute; to the one due fear, the fear; to the one due honor, the honor.

¹ Do not sharply rebuke an elder, but exhort as a father; and younger ones as brothers,

¹⁷ Let the elders who take the lead well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those laboring in word and teaching.

¹⁹ Do not receive an accusation against an elder unless on " the testimony of " "two or three witnesses." Deut. 19:15

¹⁷ honor all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

⁸ and above all things having fervent love to yourselves, "because love will cover a multitude of sins." Prov. 10:12

¹⁴ And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all beasts, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

¹¹ And now you are cursed more than the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

²² And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father. And he told his two brothers outside.

⁷ Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and I will scatter them in Israel.

¹⁶ Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother! And all the people shall say, Amen!

¹⁸ The fruit of your body shall be cursed, and the fruit of your land, the offspring of your oxen, and the young ones of your sheep.

²³ And now, you are cursed, and none of you shall fail to be slaves, and woodcutters, and drawers of water for the house of my God.

²⁷ And on that day Joshua made them woodcutters, and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Jehovah at the place which He should choose, to this day.

²⁸ But it happened when Israel became strong, it happened that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not completely expel it. ²⁹ And Ephraim did not expel the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, and the Canaanites lived among them in Gezer. ³⁰ Zebulun did not expel the inhabitants of Kitron, and the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and they became burden-bearers.

²⁰ All the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites who were not of the sons of Israel, ²¹ their sons left behind them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not been able to exterminate, Solomon even caused to go on them a burden of forced labor to this day.

⁷ All the people who were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel, ⁸ (they were of their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not exterminated) Solomon caused them to go for forced labor to this day.

⁴¹ Then He will also say to those on His left, Go away from Me, cursed ones, into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the Devil and his angels.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone practicing sin is a slave of sin.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ From that land he went forth to Assyria and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth the city, and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city. ¹³ And Mizraim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, who from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim. ¹⁵ And Canaan fathered his firstborn Sidon, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, as far as Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha. ²⁰ These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their countries, in their nations. ²¹ And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. ²² The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. ²³ And Aram's sons were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ²⁴ And Arpachshad fathered Salah; and Salah fathered Eber. ²⁵ And two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. ²⁶ And Joktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

¹ And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out from your land and from your kindred, and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you. ² And I will make of you a great nation.
