40:1 And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against their lord the king of Egypt.

40:2 And Pharao was wroth with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.

40:3 And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.

40:4 And the chief keeper of the prison committed them to Joseph, and he stood by them; and they were [some] days in the prison.

40:5 And they both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this.

40:6 Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.

40:7 And he asked the eunuchs of Pharao who were with im in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that your countenances are sad to-day?

40:8 And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them through god? tell [them] than to me.

40:9 And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, I my dream a vine was before me.

40:10 And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.

40:11 And the cup of Pharao was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharao’s hand.

40:12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.

40:13 Yet three days and Pharao shall remember thy office, and he shall restore thee to thy place of chief cupbearer, and thou shalt give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to thy former high place, as thou wast wont to be cupbearer.

40:14 But remember me of thyself, when it shall be well with thee, and thou shalt deal mercifully with me, and thou shalt make mention of me to Pharao, and thou shalt bring me forth out of this dungeon.

40:15 For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.

40:16 And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and methought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.

40:17 And in the upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind which Pharao eats; and the fowls of the air ate them out of the basket that was on my head.

40:18 And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.

40:19 Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

40:20 And it came to pass on the third day that it was Pharao’s birth-day, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.

40:21 And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao’s hand.

40:22 And he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph, interpreted to them.

40:23 Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.

41:1 And it came to pass after two full years that Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.

41:2 And lo, there came up as it were out of the river seven cows, fair in appearance, and choice of flesh, and they fed on the sedge.

41:3 And other seven cows came up after these out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, and fed by the [other] cows on the bank of the river.

41:4 And the seven ill-favoured and lean cows devoured the seven well-favoured and choice-fleshed cows; and Pharao awoke.

41:5 And he dreamed again. And, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, choice and good.

41:6 And, behold, seven ears thin and blasted with the wind, grew up after them.

41:7 And the seven thin ears and blasted with the wind devoured the seven choice and full ears; and Pharao awoke, and it was a dream.

41:8 And it was morning, and his soul was troubled; and he sent and called all the interpreters of Egypt, and all her wise men; and Pharao related to them his dream, and there was no one to interpret it to Pharao.

41:9 And the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharao, saying, I this day remember my fault:

41:10 Pharao was angry with his servants, and put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker.

41:11 And we had a dream both in one night, I and he; we saw, each according to his dream.

41:12 And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew servant of the captain of the guard; and we related to him [our dreams], and he interpreted [them] to us.

41:13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted them to us, so also it happened, both that I was restored to my office, and that he was hanged.

41:14 And Pharao having sent, called Joseph; and they brought him out from the prison, and shaved him, and changed his dress, and he came to Pharao.

41:15 And Pharao said to Joseph, I have seen a vision, and there is no one to interpret it; but I have heard say concerning thee that thou didst hear dreams and interpret them.

41:16 And Joseph answered Pharao and said, Without God an answer of safety shall not be given to Pharao.

41:17 And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream methought I stood by the bank of the river;

41:18 and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favoured and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge.

41:19 And behold seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil and ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such that I never saw worse in all the land of Egypt.

41:20 And the seven ill-favoured and thin cows ate up the seven first good and choice cows.

41:21 And they went into their bellies; and it was not perceptible that they had gone into their bellies, and their appearance was ill-favoured, as also at the beginning; and after I awoke I slept,

41:22 and saw again in my sleep, and as it were seven ears came up on one stem, full and good.

41:23 And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them.

41:24 And the seven thin and blasted ears devoured the seven fine and full ears: so I spoke to the interpreters, and there was no one to explain it to me.

41:25 And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shewn to Pharao.

41:26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one.

41:27 And the seven thin kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven thin and blasted ears are seven years; there shall be seven years of famine.

41:28 And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatsoever God intends to do, he has shewn to Pharao:

41:29 behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt.

41:30 But there shall come seven years of famine after these, and they shall forget the plenty that shall be in all Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.

41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine that shall be after this, for it shall be very grievous.

41:32 And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharao twice, [it is] because the saying which is from God shall be true, and God will hasten to accomplish it.

41:33 Now then, look out a wise and prudent man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

41:34 And let Pharao make and appoint local governors over the land; and let them take up a fifth part of all the produce of the land of Egypt for the seven years of the plenty.

41:35 And let them gather all the food of these seven good years that are coming, and let the corn be gathered under the hand of Pharao; let food be kept in the cities.

41:36 And the stored food shall be for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be utterly destroyed by the famine.

41:37 And the word was pleasing in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of all his servants.

41:38 And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him?

41:39 And Pharao said to Joseph, Since God has shewed thee all these things, there is not a wiser or more prudent man than thou.

41:40 Thou shalt be over my house, and all my people shall be obedient to thy word; only in the throne will I excel thee.

41:41 And Pharao said to Joseph, Behold, I set thee this day over all the land of Egypt.

41:42 And Pharao took his ring off his hand, and put it on the hand of Joseph, and put on him a robe of fine linen, and put a necklace of gold about his neck.

41:43 And he mounted him on the second of his chariots, and a herald made proclamation before him; and he set him over all the land of Egypt.

41:44 And Pharao said to Joseph, I am Pharao; without thee no one shall lift up his hand on all the land of Egypt.

41:45 And Pharao called the name of Joseph, Psonthomphanech; and he gave him Aseneth, the daughter of Petephre, priest of Heliopolis, to wife.

41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharao, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharao, and went through all the land of Egypt.

41:47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, [whole] handfuls [of corn].

41:48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years, in which was the plenty in the land of Egypt; and he laid up the food in the cities; the food of the fields of a city round about it he laid up in it.

41:49 And Joseph gathered very much corn as the sand of the sea, until it could not be numbered, for there was no number [of it].

41:50 And to Joseph were born two sons, before the seven years of famine came, which Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.

41:51 And Joseph called the name of the first-born, Manasse; for God, [said he], has made me forget all my toils, and all my father’s house.

41:52 And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation.

41:53 And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt.

41:54 And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph said; and there was a famine in all the land; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

41:55 And all the land of Egypt was hungry; and the people cried to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph, and do whatsoever he shall tell you.

41:56 And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians.

41:57 And all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth.

42:1 And Jacob having seen that there was a sale [of corn] in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are ye indolent?

42:2 Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down thither, and buy for us a little food, that we may live, and not die.

42:3 And the ten brethren of Joseph went down to buy corn out of Egypt.

42:4 But [Jacob] sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.

42:5 And the sons of Israel came to buy with those that came, for the famine was in the land of Chanaan.

42:6 And Joseph was ruler of the land; he sold to all the people of the land. And the brethren of Joseph, having come, did reverence to him, [bowing] with the face to the ground.

42:7 And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are ye come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food.

42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

42:9 And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, Ye are spies; to observe the marks of the land are ye come.

42:10 But they said, Nay, Sir, we thy servants are come to buy food;

42:11 we are all sons of one man; we are peaceable, thy servants are not spies.

42:12 And he said to them, Nay, but ye are come to observe the marks of the land.

42:13 And they said, We thy servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father to-day, but the other one is not.

42:14 And Joseph said to them, This is it that I spoke to you, saying, ye are spies;

42:15 herein shall ye be manifested; by the health of Pharao, ye shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come hither.

42:16 Send one of you, and take your brother; and go ye to prison, till your words be clear, whether ye speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily ye are spies.

42:17 And he put them in prison three days.

42:18 And he said to them on the third day, This do, and ye shall live, for I fear God.

42:19 If ye be peaceable, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go ye, and carry back the corn ye have purchased.

42:20 And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, ye shall die. And they did so.

42:21 And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the aguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we hearkened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.

42:22 And Ruben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and ye heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.

42:23 But they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.

42:24 And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.

42:25 And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to return their money to each into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and it was so done to them.

42:26 And having put the corn on the asses, they departed thence.

42:27 And one having opened his sack to give his asses fodder, at the place where they rested, saw also his bundle of money, for it was on the mouth of his sack.

42:28 And he said to his brethren, My money has been restored to me, and behold this is in my sack. And their heart was wonder-struck, and they were troubled, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?

42:29 And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying,

42:30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.

42:31 And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies.

42:32 We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father to-day in the land of Chanaan.

42:33 And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that ye are peaceable; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn ye have purchased for your family, depart.

42:34 And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that ye are not spies, but that ye are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and ye shall trade in the land.

42:35 And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, there was each man’s bundle of money in his sack; and they and their father saw their bundles of money, and they were afraid.

42:36 And their father Jacob said to them, Ye have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will ye take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.

42:37 And Ruben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.

42:38 But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which ye go, then ye shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades.

The Case For SYSBM – A Serious Dearth Of Attractive Non Criminal Minded Black Women!

February 27, 2020 by The Beat Man

Citizen journalists prosecuted over BC “trans” child case | The Gunn Show:

John William Money (8 July 1921 – 7 July 2006) was a New Zealand American psychologist, sexologist and author specializing in research into sexual identity and biology of gender. He was one of the first researchers to publish theories on the influence of societal constructs of “gender” on individual formation of gender identity. Money introduced the terms gender identity, gender role and sexual orientation and popularised the term paraphilia.^[1]^[2]

Recent academic studies have criticized Money’s work in many respects, particularly in regard to his involvement with the involuntary sex-reassignment of the child David Reimer,^[3] his forcing this child and his brother to simulate sex acts which Money photographed^[4] and the adult suicides of both brothers.^[4]

Pedophilia opinions

John Money was critical in debates on chronophilias, especially pedophilia.^[31] He stated that both sexual researchers and the public do not make distinctions between affectional pedophilia and sadistic pedophilia. Money asserted that affectional pedophilia was about love and not sex.

If I were to see the case of a boy aged ten or eleven who’s intensely erotically attracted toward a man in his twenties or thirties, if the relationship is totally mutual, and the bonding is genuinely totally mutual … then I would not call it pathological in any way.^[32]^[33]

Money held the view that affectional pedophilia is caused by a surplus of parental love that became erotic, and is not a behavioral disorder. Rather, he took the position that heterosexuality is another example of a societal and therefore superficial, ideological concept.^[32]^[33]

Miami U fraternity members appeared in court on hazing, assault charges

OXFORD, Ohio (FOX19) – Several of the 18 suspects facing charges following a fraternity hazing incident at Miami University faced an Oxford judge on Tuesday.

Hugh Webster, Michael Keen, James MacKeigan, Joshua Karl Plaster, Scott Sidner, Grady McMichen, Samay Pahouja, Bennett Faloni, Jonathan Rauch, Benjamin Grossheim, Liam Newcomer and Conner Meek appeared in court.

There were eight guilty pleas and several other cases were continued.

The victim, Tyler Perino, and his mother also appeared in court.

“The moment I knew something was not right was when the acting members made the pledge class, including myself, stay up all night, jam-packed in a room with no food or water. Sadly, I felt that I was trapped in a group of people that would shame me forever for leaving the fraternity,” Perino said.

“The absolute hardest thing for me to hear, in all of this, was that he was hungry and in need of food and you gave him dog food. That’s the most caring thing to do for another is to feed them… and all of you messed with him instead,” his mother said.

According to an indictment, the violent hazing incident took place last March at the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, where students were beaten with spiked paddles, kicked and forced to drink countless amounts of alcohol and smoke marijuana.

The hazing incident ending up leaving one student hospitalized.

The indictment contains charges of assault and criminal hazing. Some of the men are facing two charges, while others face as many as six.

Maximum penalties for the single hazing charge are a $250 fine and 30 days in jail, however, jail time was suspended.

The assault charges carry a maximum sentence of six months in jail.

Perino’s mother painted a graphic picture of horrific bruising and battering of her son and the forced consumption of alcohol.

“It is nothing short of abuse and no matter what happens as a result in this courtroom today you will have to live with what you did to another human being and how you justified it,” she said.

Jason Londa – Pleaded guilty to hazing
Nicholas Griswold – Pleaded guilty to hazing; $100 fine
Josh Plaster – Pleaded guilty to hazing; $250 fine
Liam Newcomer – Pleaded guilty to hazing; $100 fine
James Mackeigan – Pleaded guilty to hazing; $100 fine, 1-year probation
Michael Keen – Pleaded guilty to hazing; $100 fine
Scott Sidner – Pleaded guilty to hazing; $100 fine
Hugh Webster – Pleaded guilty to hazing; $200 fine
Jonathan Rauch – Continued
Samay Pahouja – Continued
Benjamin Grossheim – Continued

The chapter has been suspended until 2034.

Tyler Joseph Glowaski has already pleaded guilty in this case.

Three other suspects, Nicholas Carmichael, Jason Londa and Alex Niezyniecki, are expected to face a judge on March 10.

The chapter has an option to petition after 10 years in 2029 to be reinstated on campus.

Why Employers Deserve Much Of The Scorn And Blame For The Student Debt Crisis

But there’s another group that seems to have largely escaped the public’s wrath, despite their unique role in driving this entirely unnecessary crisis. We take it for granted that our kids “need” to obtain a college degree because so many jobs require them, but the need is mostly artificial. Thousands of employers across the country have chosen to arbitrarily inflate their job requirements, often demanding that applicants have degrees for positions that don’t actually necessitate them. And it’s only getting worse. Positions that didn’t require any degree 20 years ago now require a bachelor’s, and positions that required a bachelors 20 years ago now require a master’s. This, again, is artificial. People without degrees could perform the tasks necessary for most of these positions but employers disqualify them from consideration right out of the gate, for no good reason.

Obviously, some jobs really do require additional formal schooling. Nobody is suggesting that a guy with a high school diploma should be hired off the street to perform brain surgery at Johns Hopkins. But most jobs outside of science and medicine have to be learned by doing. It’s not as though companies save money on training new hires by limiting themselves to college graduates. They still have to train the college graduates, which is no surprise because most college graduates have little to no work experience.

It might be argued that employers look for the degree because, even if it’s in dance theory or comparative religion, it at least proves that the applicant is competent and hardworking. Well, I’d like to see some research supporting that assumption. I see no reason to conclude that college grads are any smarter, any more competent, or any harder working than non-college grads. In fact, I’d wager that the scale tips the other way. A 23-year-old who has been working and supporting himself since 18 has already demonstrated, at a minimum, that he has the basic skills necessary to be a functioning adult in society. A 23-year-old who has been sitting in classrooms all that time has not demonstrated that or anything else. All the college degree proves, in and of itself, is that he either had the money to pay for a degree or was willing to take on the debt. Why should that fact alone mean that his resume goes to the top of the stack?

We all know the truth. Employers demand high price degrees for entry level positions that a moderately intelligent monkey could learn in less than week simply out of laziness. The degree requirement is a way to cull the herd of applicants, making it easier and quicker to sift through. If qualified applicants are tossed aside, that’s a sacrifice the employer is willing to make for the sake of streamlining the process. But if it wasn’t for the arbitrary demands of these lazy HR departments, kids out of high school may not feel the need to take on crushing debt just to obtain a piece of paper that may only ever function as a calling card that prevents their resumes from being automatically thrown in the trash.

Perhaps the companies that unjustly discriminate against competent workers who lack that piece of paper should finally start absorbing some of the scorn and blame we direct everywhere except at them. Yes, they have every right to come up with whatever unnecessary and expensive job requirements they want. But they deserve to be named and shamed for it. Much of the current crisis is their fault. And it’s about time we hold them responsible for it.

Palestinian Terrorist Authority Converts Ancient Hasmonean (Jewish) Fortress into a ‘Palestinian Tourist Site’

The Palestinian Authority (PA) recently seized a Hasmonean-era fortress in the Shomron and has converted it into “a Palestinian tourist site” as part of its campaign to seize Jewish heritage sites and transform them into “Palestinians sites” while systematically demolishing archaeological findings.

The Shomrim Al Hanetzach‎ (Guarding Eternity) organization discovered on Sunday that the PA had installed a massive flag mast and lighting at the fortress of Arama, an ancient Hasmonean archaeological site which dominates the ancient road from Shechem (Nablus) to the Jordan Valley.

Tel Aruma, which is mentioned in the Bible as the city of Avimelech, was the northernmost fortress of the Jewish state during the Hasmonean period.

Photos from the site, seen by TPS, show that the PA’s construction caused damage to the fortress’s wall and blocked its water reservoirs. The PA also added a heavy concrete casting for the PA flag flying at the site.

“The PA has declared war on our history,” Shomrim Al Hanetzach warned.

Shomrim Al Hanetzach‎ is dedicated to fighting the rampant Arab antiquities theft and destruction in Judea and Samaria.

The PA is “turning the place into an active Palestinian tourist site while causing shocking destruction of the archaeological findings and history which we will never be able to recover,” the organization said.

Shomrim Al Hanetzach noted that the phenomenon of antiquity destruction is pervasive and affects all sites that are not under permanent preservation, and a survey of the sites in Judea and Samaria shows that a staggering 95% of the archaeological sites have been robbed, vandalized or disturbed.

Shomrim Al Hanetzach has formulated a national plan to fight this trend.

“According to the Oslo Accords, there is a requirement for full coordination between Israel and the PA in all matters related to archaeology, like there is security coordination. Therefore, in a situation where there is no security, Israel is obliged to act, so as in crimes against history, Israel is obliged to act,” Shomrim Al Hanetzach stated.

The PA has previously taken control of Israeli and Jewish heritage sites in an attempt to usurp it of its national identity and legacy, in contradiction to the historical and archaeological findings.

Genesis 38-40

38:1 And it came to pass at that time that Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.

38:2 And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.

38:3 And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.

38:4 And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.

38:5 And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.

38:6 And Judas took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Thamar.

38:7 And Er, the first-born of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.

38:8 And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to thy brother’s wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy brother.

38:9 And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his– it came to pass when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother’s wife.

38:10 And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also.

38:11 And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.

38:12 And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.

38:13 And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.

38:14 And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.

38:15 And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.

38:16 And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?

38:17 And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it.

38:18 And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.

38:19 And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

38:20 And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.

38:21 And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.

38:22 And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.

38:23 And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her.

38:24 And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.

38:25 And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.

38:26 And Judas knew [them], and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.

38:27 And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.

38:28 And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first.

38:29 And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Phares.

38:30 And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.

39:1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down thither.

39:2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.

39:3 And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatsoever he happens to do.

39:4 And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.

39:5 And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.

39:6 And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.

39:7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.

39:8 But he would not; but said to his master’s wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:

39:9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife– how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?

39:10 And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,

39:11 it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.

39:12 And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.

39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,

39:14 that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us– he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

39:15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with m, he fled, and went forth out.

39:16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.

39:17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou broughtest in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with thee.

39:18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.

39:19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did thy servant to me, that he was very angry.

39:20 And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king’s prisoners are kept, there in the prison.

39:21 And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.

39:22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatsoever they do there, he did them.

39:23 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
