And he said, Take +now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into +the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of +the mountains which I will tell thee of. + +And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took +two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for +the burnt offering, and rose up and went unto the place of which God had +told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the +place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with +the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to +you. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it upon +Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand and a knife, and they +went both of them together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and +said, My father: and he, said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the +fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And +Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt +offering: so they went both of them together. And they came to the place +which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the +wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon +the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took the knife to slay +his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and +said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. And he said, Lay not +thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I +know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine +only son, from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold +behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and +took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his +son. + +And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is to this +day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. + +And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second +time, and said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou +hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, that +in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy +seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; +and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall +all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my +voice.--Geneszs xxii. 1-18. + + + + +THE BURIAL OF SARAH. + + +And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old these were the +years of the life of Sarah. And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is +Hebron in the land of Canaan and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to +weep for her. + +And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of +Heth, saying, I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a +possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my +sight. + +And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him, Hear us, my +lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres +bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but +that thou mayest bury thy dead. + +And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even +to the children of Heth. And he communed with them, saying, If it be your +mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for +me to Ephron the son of Zohar, that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, +which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it +is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a burying-place amongst +you. + +And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite +answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all +that went in at the gate of his city, saying, Nay, my lord, hear me: the +field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the +presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead. + +And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land. And he +spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But +if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for +the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. + +And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, My lord, hearken unto me: +the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver: what is that betwixt me +and thee? bury therefore thy dead. + +And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the +silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four +hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant. + +And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, +the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in +the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure unto +Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before +all that went in at the gate of his city. + +And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of +Machpelah before Mamre; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. And the +field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a +possession of a burying-place by the sons of Heth.--Genesis xxiii. + + + + +ELIEZER AND REBEKAH. + + +And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and +sware to him concerning that matter. + +And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and +departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose +and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. And he made his camels +to kneel down, without the city by a well of water at the time of the +evening, even the time that women go out to draw water. And he said, O +Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, +and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. Behold, I stand here by the +well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw: +water: and let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let +down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, +Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that +thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that +thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. + +And it came to pass before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah +came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, +Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. And the damsel was +very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she +went down to the well, and filled her pitcher and came up. And the +servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little +water of thy pitcher. And she said, Drink, my lord; and she hasted, and +let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. And when she had +done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, +until they have done drinking. And she hasted and emptied her pitcher +into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for +all his camels. + +And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had +made his journey prosperous or not. + +And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a +golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands +of ten shekels weight of gold: and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell +me, I pray thee; is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in? +And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, +which she bare unto Nahor. She said moreover unto him, We have both straw +and provender enough, and room to lodge in. + +And the man bowed down his head and worshiped the Lord. And he said, +Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute +my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me +to the house of my master's brethren. + +And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these +things.--Genesis xxiv, 9-28. + + + + +ISAAC BLESSING JACOB. + + +And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so +that he could not see, he called Esau, his eldest son, and said unto him, +My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. And he said, Behold now, +I am old, I know not the day of my death: Now therefore take, I pray +thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and +take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring +it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. + +And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the +field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. + +And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father +speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, Bring me venison, and make me +savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my +death. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I +command thee. Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids +of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father such as he +loveth; And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that +he may bless thee before his death. + +And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy +man, and I am a smooth man: My father peradventure will feel me, and I +shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and +not a blessing. + +And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my +voice, and go fetch me them. + +And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother +made savoury meat, such as his father loved. And Rebekah took goodly +raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put +them upon Jacob her younger son: And she put the skins of the kids of the +goats upon his hands and upon the smooth of his neck: And she gave the +savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her +son Jacob. + +And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; +who art thou, my son? And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first +born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit +and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac said unto +his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he +said, Because the Lord thy God brought it to me. And Isaac said unto +Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou +be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob went; near unto Isaac his father; +and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are +the hands of Esau. And he discerned him not, because his hands were +hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. + +And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. And he said, +Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may +bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat; and he brought +him wine, and he drank. And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near +now, and kiss me, my son. And he came near, and kissed him: and he +smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the +smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed: +Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the +earth, and plenty of corn and wine: Let people serve thee, and nations +bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons +bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be +he that blesseth thee.--Genesis xxvii. 1-29. + + + + +JACOB TENDING THE FLOCKS OF LABAN. + + +And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: +for she kept them. And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the +daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his +mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the +well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. And +Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. And Jacob told +Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: +and she ran and told her father. + +And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's +son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and +brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. And Laban +said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him +the space of a month. And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my +brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what +shall thy wages be? + +And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name +of the younger was Rachel. Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful +and well favoured. + +And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for +Rachel thy younger daughter. And Laban said, It is better that I give her +to thee, than that I should give her to another man; abide with me. + +And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a +few days, for the love he had for her. And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me +my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. + +And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. +And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and +brought her to him; and he went in unto her. And Laban gave unto his +daughter Leah Zilpah his maid, for an handmaid. And it came to pass that +in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this +thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore +then hast thou beguiled me? And Laban said, It must not be so done in our +country, to give the younger before the firstborn. Fulfil her week, and +we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with +me yet seven other years. + +And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week; and he gave him Rachel his +daughter to wife also. And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his +handmaid to be her maid. And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved +also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other +years.--Genesis xxix, 9-30. + + + + +JOSEPH SOLD INTO EGYPT. + + +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. 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 colors. 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. + +And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated +him yet the more. And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream +which I have dreamed. 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. 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. + +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. 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. And his +brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. + +And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. + +And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. And when +they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired +against him to slay him. And they said one to another, Behold, this +dreamer cometh. 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. And Reuben heard it, and he +delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. 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. + +And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they +stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him; +and they took him and cast him into a pit; and the pit was empty, there +was no water in it. And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up +their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from +Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to +carry it down to Egypt. And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is +it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? Come, and let us sell +him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our +brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. + +Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up +Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty +pieces of silver; and they brought Joseph into Egypt. + +And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of +Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.--Genesis xxxvii, 2--12, 17-28, 36 + + + + +JOSEPH INTERPRETING PHARAOH'S DREAM. + + +And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: +and, behold, he stood by the river. And, behold, there came up out of the +river seven well favoured kine and fat-fleshed; and they fed in a meadow. +And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill +favoured and lean-fleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of +the river. And the ill favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven +well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. + +And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn +came up upon one stalk, rank and good. And, behold, seven thin ears and +blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. And the seven thin ears +devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it +was a dream. + +And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he +sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men +thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could +interpret them unto Pharaoh. + +[At the suggestion of his chief butler Pharaoh sends for Joseph and +relates to him his dreams, which Joseph interprets as follows:] + +And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath +shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do. The seven good kine are seven +years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. And the +seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; +and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years +of famine. This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God +is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of +great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise +after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten +in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; and the +plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; +for it shall be very grievous. And for that the dream was doubled unto +Pharaoh twice it is because the thing is established by God, and God will +shortly bring it to pass. + +Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him +over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers +over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the +seven plenteous years. And let them gather all the food of those good +years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them +keep food in the cities. And that food shall be for store to the land +against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; +that the land perish not through the famine.--Genesis xli. 1-36. + + + + +JOSEPH MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN TO HIS BRETHREN. + + +Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; +and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man +with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. And he wept +aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. + +And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? +And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his +presence. And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. +And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold +into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that +ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. For +these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five +years, in which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent +me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your +lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, +but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his +house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. Haste ye, and go up +to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made +me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not: And thou shalt dwell +in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy +children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and +all that thou hast. And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five +years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, +come to poverty. And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother +Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. And ye shall tell +my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye +shall haste and bring down my father hither. + +And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept +upon his neck. Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: +and after that his brethren talked with him. + +And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's +brethren are come and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. + +And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade +your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan; and take your +father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the +good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.--Genesis +xlv, 1-18. + + + + +MOSES IN THE BULRUSHES. + + +And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of +Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that +he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. And when she could not +longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with +slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the +flags by the river's brink. And his sister stood afar off, to wit what +would be done to him. + +And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and +her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark +among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened +it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion +on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. Then said his +sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the +Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? And Pharaoh's +daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's +mother. And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and +nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the +child and nursed it. + +And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he +became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I +drew him out of the water.--Exodus ii, 1-10. + + + + +THE WAR AGAINST GIBEON. + + +Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king +of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, +gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and +encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it. + +And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, +Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us +and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the +mountains are gathered together against us. + +So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, +and all the mighty men of valor. And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them +not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of +them stand before thee. Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and +went up from Gilgal all night. And the Lord discomfited them before +Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them +along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and +unto Makkedah. And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and +were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great +stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more +which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew +with the sword. + +Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the +Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of +Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley +of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people +had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the +book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and +hastened not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that +before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: +for the Lord fought for Israel. + +And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. +But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah. And +it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at +Makkedah. And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, +and set men by it for to keep them: and stay ye not, but pursue after +your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter +into their cities; for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your +hand. + +And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an +end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, +that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities. Joshua +x, 5-20. + + + + +SISERA SLAIN BY JAEL. + + +Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab, the +father-in-law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched +his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh. + +And they shewed Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, was gone up to +Mount Tabor. And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine +hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from +Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon. + +And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord +hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before +thee? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after +him. + +And the Lord discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots and all his host, +with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off +his chariot, and fled away on his feet. But Barak pursued after the +chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the +host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man +left. + +Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael, the wife of +Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and +the house of Heber the Kenite. And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said +unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had +turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. And he +said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am +thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered +him. Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall +be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man +here? that thou shalt say, No. Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of +the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and +smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he +was fast asleep and weary. So he died. + +And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said +unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when +he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his +temples.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
