Chapter 1
[[@bible:Genesis 1:1]] [[1:1|bible:Genesis 1:1]] In the First of all, and before any creature
was, God made heaven and earth out of nothing. beginning God created the heaven and the
earth. The Argument - Moses in effect declares three things, which are in this book chiefly to
be considered: First, that the world and all things in it were created by God, and to praise his
Name for the infinite graces, with which he had endued him, fell willingly from God through
disobedience, who yet for his own mercies sake restored him to life, and confirmed him in the
same by his promise of Christ to come, by whom he should overcome Satan, death and hell.
Secondly, that the wicked, unmindful of God's most excellent benefits, remained still in their
wickedness, and so falling most horribly from sin to sin, provoked God (who by his preachers
called them continually to repentance) at length to destroy the whole world. Thirdly, he
assures us by the examples of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the rest of the patriarchs, that his
mercies never fail those whom he chooses to be his Church, and to profess his Name in earth,
but in all their afflictions and persecutions he assists them, sends comfort, and delivers them,
so that the beginning, increase, preservation and success of it might be attributed to God only.
Moses shows by the examples of Cain, Ishmael, Esau and others, who were noble in man's
judgment, that this Church depends not on the estimation and nobility of the world: and also
by the fewness of those, who have at all times worshipped him purely according to his word
that it stands not in the multitude, but in the poor and despised, in the small flock and little
number, that man in his wisdom might be confounded, and the name of God praised forever.

[[@bible:Genesis 30:36]] [[30:36|bible:Genesis 30:36]] And hee set three dayes iourney
betweene himselfe and Iaakob; Iaakob kept the rest of Labans sheepe.
[[@bible:Genesis 30:37]] [[30:37|bible:Genesis 30:37]] And Jacob Jacob used no deceit in
this for it was God's commandment as he declares in (Gen_31:9, Gen_31:11). took him rods
of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made
the white appear which [was] in the rods.
[[@bible:Genesis 30:38]] [[30:38|bible:Genesis 30:38]] Then he put the rods, which he had
pilled, in the gutters and watering troughes, when the sheepe came to drink, before the
sheepe. (for they were in heate, when they came to drinke)
[[@bible:Genesis 30:39]] [[30:39|bible:Genesis 30:39]] And the sheepe were in heate before
the rods, and afterward brought forth yong of partie colour, and with small and great spots.
[[@bible:Genesis 30:40]] [[30:40|bible:Genesis 30:40]] And Iaakob parted these lambes, and
turned the faces of the flocke towardes these lambes partie coloured and all maner of blacke,
among the sheepe of Laban: so hee put his owne flockes by themselues, and put them not
with Labans flocke.
[[@bible:Genesis 30:41]] [[30:41|bible:Genesis 30:41]] And it came to pass, whensoever the

the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
[[@bible:Genesis 30:42]] [[30:42|bible:Genesis 30:42]] But when the sheepe were feeble, hee
put them not in: and so the feebler were Labans, and the stronger Iaakobs.
[[@bible:Genesis 30:43]] [[30:43|bible:Genesis 30:43]] So the man encreased exceedingly,
and had many flockes, and maide seruantes, and men seruants, and camels and asses.

Chapter 31
[[@bible:Genesis 31:1]] [[31:1|bible:Genesis 31:1]] And he heard the The children put in
words what the father disguised in his heart for the covetous think that whatever they cannot
take, is taken from them. words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that [was]
our father's; and of [that] which [was] our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:2]] [[31:2|bible:Genesis 31:2]] Also Iaakob beheld the countenance of
Laban, that it was not towards him as in times past:
[[@bible:Genesis 31:3]] [[31:3|bible:Genesis 31:3]] And the Lorde had said vnto Iaakob,
Turne againe into the lande of thy fathers, and to thy kinred, and I wilbe with thee.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:4]] [[31:4|bible:Genesis 31:4]] Therefore Iaakob sent and called Rahel
and Leah to the fielde vnto his flocke.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:5]] [[31:5|bible:Genesis 31:5]] And said unto them, I see your father's
countenance, that it [is] not toward me as before; but the The God whom my fathers
worshipped. God of my father hath been with me.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:6]] [[31:6|bible:Genesis 31:6]] And yee knowe that I haue serued your
father with all my might.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:7]] [[31:7|bible:Genesis 31:7]] But your father hath deceiued me, &
changed my wages tenne times: but God suffred him not to hurt me.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:8]] [[31:8|bible:Genesis 31:8]] If he thus sayd, The spotted shall be thy
wages, then all the sheepe bare spotted: and if he sayd thus, the party coloured shalbe thy
rewarde, then bare all the sheepe particoloured.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:9]] [[31:9|bible:Genesis 31:9]] Thus This declares that the thing Jacob
did before, was by God's commandment, and not through deceit. God hath taken away the
cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:10]] [[31:10|bible:Genesis 31:10]] For in ramming time I lifted vp mine
eyes and saw in a dreame, & beholde, ye hee goates leaped vpon the shee goates, that were

[[@bible:Genesis 31:12]] [[31:12|bible:Genesis 31:12]] And he sayde, Lift vp nowe thine
eyes, and see all the hee goates leaping vpon ye shee goates that are partie coloured, spotted
with litle and great spots: for I haue seene all that Laban doeth vnto thee.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:13]] [[31:13|bible:Genesis 31:13]] This angel was Christ who appeared
to Jacob in Bethel: and by this it appears that he had taught his wives the fear of God: for he
talks as though they knew this thing. I [am] the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the
pillar, [and] where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and
return unto the land of thy kindred.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:14]] [[31:14|bible:Genesis 31:14]] Then answered Rahel and Leah, and
sayde vnto him, Haue wee any more porcion and inheritance in our fathers house?

[[@bible:Genesis 31:16]] [[31:16|bible:Genesis 31:16]] Therefore all the riches, which God
hath taken from our father, is ours and our childrens: nowe then whatsoeuer God hath saide
vnto thee, doe it.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:17]] [[31:17|bible:Genesis 31:17]] Then Iaakob rose vp, and set his
sonnes and his wiues vpon camels.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:18]] [[31:18|bible:Genesis 31:18]] And he caried away all his flockes, &
al his substance which he had gotten, to wit, his riches, which he had gotten in Padan Aram,
to goe to Izhak his father vnto the land of Canaan.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:19]] [[31:19|bible:Genesis 31:19]] And Laban went to shear his sheep:
and Rachel had stolen the For so the word here signifies, because Laban calls them gods,
(Gen_31:30). images that [were] her father's.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:20]] [[31:20|bible:Genesis 31:20]] Thus Iaakob stole away ye heart of
Laban the Aramite: for he told him not that he fled.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:21]] [[31:21|bible:Genesis 31:21]] So fled he with all that he had, and
he rose vp, and passed the riuer, and set his face towarde mount Gilead.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:22]] [[31:22|bible:Genesis 31:22]] And the third day after was it told
Laban, that Iaakob fled.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:23]] [[31:23|bible:Genesis 31:23]] Then he tooke his brethren with him,
& followed after him seuen dayes iourney, and ouertooke him at mount Gilead.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:24]] [[31:24|bible:Genesis 31:24]] And God came to Laban the Aramite
in a dreame by night, and sayde vnto him, Take heede that thou speake not to Iaakob ought
saue good.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:25]] [[31:25|bible:Genesis 31:25]] Then Laban ouertooke Iaakob, &
Iaakob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban also with his brethren pitched vpon
mount Gilead.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:26]] [[31:26|bible:Genesis 31:26]] Then Laban sayde to Iaakob, What
hast thou done? thou hast euen stolen away mine heart and caried away my daughters as
though they had bene taken captiues with the sworde.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:27]] [[31:27|bible:Genesis 31:27]] Wherfore diddest thou flie so secretly
and steale away from me, and diddest not tel me, that I might haue sent thee foorth with mirth
& with songs, with timbrel and with harpe?
[[@bible:Genesis 31:28]] [[31:28|bible:Genesis 31:28]] But thou hast not suffered me to
kisse my sonnes and my daughters: nowe thou hast done foolishly in doing so.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:29]] [[31:29|bible:Genesis 31:29]] It is in the power of my hand to do

for his God. God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou
speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:30]] [[31:30|bible:Genesis 31:30]] Nowe though thou wentest thy way,
because thou greatly longedst after thy fathers house, yet wherefore hast thou stollen my
gods?
[[@bible:Genesis 31:31]] [[31:31|bible:Genesis 31:31]] Then Iaakob answered, and said to
Laban, Because I was afraid, & thought that thou wouldest haue taken thy daughters from
me.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:32]] [[31:32|bible:Genesis 31:32]] But with whome thou findest thy
gods, let him not liue. Search thou before our brethre what I haue of thine, & take it to thee,
(but Iaakob wist not that Rahel had stolen them)
[[@bible:Genesis 31:33]] [[31:33|bible:Genesis 31:33]] Then came Laban into Iaakobs tent,
and into Leahs tent, and into the two maides tentes, but founde them not. So hee went out of
Leahs tent, and entred into Rahels tent.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:34]] [[31:34|bible:Genesis 31:34]] (Nowe Rahel had taken the idoles, &
put them in the camels litter and sate downe vpon them) and Laban searched al the tent, but
found them not.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:35]] [[31:35|bible:Genesis 31:35]] Then said she to her father, My Lord,
be not angrie that I cannot rise vp before thee: for the custome of women is vpo me: so he
searched, but found not the idoles.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:36]] [[31:36|bible:Genesis 31:36]] The Iaakob was wroth, and chode
with Laban: Iaakob also answered and sayd to Laban, What haue I trespassed? what haue I
offended, that thou hast pursued after me?
[[@bible:Genesis 31:37]] [[31:37|bible:Genesis 31:37]] Seeing thou hast searched all my

[[@bible:Genesis 31:43]] [[31:43|bible:Genesis 31:43]] Then Laban answered, and saide
vnto Iaakob, These daughters are my daughters, & these sonnes are my sonnes, and these

my daughters, or to their sonnes which they haue borne?

vp as a pillar:
[[@bible:Genesis 31:46]] [[31:46|bible:Genesis 31:46]] And Iaakob sayde vnto his brethren,
Gather stones: who brought stones, and made an heape, and they did eate there vpon the
heape.
[[@bible:Genesis 31:47]] [[31:47|bible:Genesis 31:47]] And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha:
but Jacob called it The one named the place in the Syrian tongue, and the other in the Hebrew

[[@bible:Genesis 31:48]] [[31:48|bible:Genesis 31:48]] For Laban sayd, This heape is

[[@bible:Genesis 32:3]] [[32:3|bible:Genesis 32:3]] Then Iaakob sent messengers before him

with the east winde, sprang vp after them:
[[@bible:Genesis 41:7]] [[41:7|bible:Genesis 41:7]] And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen
ranke and full eares. then Pharaoh awaked, and loe, it was a dreame.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:8]] [[41:8|bible:Genesis 41:8]] And it came to pass in the morning that
his spirit was This fear was enough to teach him that this vision was sent by God. 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.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:9]] [[41:9|bible:Genesis 41:9]] Then spake the chief butler unto
Pharaoh, saying, I He confesses his fault against the king before he speaks of Joseph. do
remember my faults this day:
[[@bible:Genesis 41:10]] [[41:10|bible:Genesis 41:10]] Pharaoh being angrie with his
seruantes, put me in ward in the chiefe stewards house, both me and the chiefe baker.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:11]] [[41:11|bible:Genesis 41:11]] Then we dreamed a dreame in one
night, both I, and he: we dreamed eche man according to the interpretation of his dreame.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:12]] [[41:12|bible:Genesis 41:12]] And there was with vs a yong man,
an Ebrew, seruant vnto the chiefe steward, whome when we told, he declared our dreames to
vs, to euery one he declared according to his dreame.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:13]] [[41:13|bible:Genesis 41:13]] And as he declared vnto vs, so it
came to passe: for he restored me to mine office, & hanged him.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:14]] [[41:14|bible:Genesis 41:14]] Then Pharaoh sent and called The
wicked seek the prophets of God in their time of need, while in their prosperity they abhor
them. Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved [himself], and
changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:15]] [[41:15|bible:Genesis 41:15]] Then Pharaoh sayde to Ioseph, I haue
dreamed a dreame, and no man can interprete it, and I haue hearde say of thee, that when
thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete it.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:16]] [[41:16|bible:Genesis 41:16]] And Joseph answered Pharaoh,
saying, As though he would say if I interpret your dream it comes from God, and not from
me. [It is] not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:17]] [[41:17|bible:Genesis 41:17]] And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In
my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer:
[[@bible:Genesis 41:18]] [[41:18|bible:Genesis 41:18]] And lo, there came vp out of the riuer
seuen fat fleshed, and welfauoured kine, and they fedde in the medowe.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:19]] [[41:19|bible:Genesis 41:19]] Also loe, seuen other kine came vp
after them, poore and very euilfauoured, and leanefleshed: I neuer sawe the like in all the
lande of Egypt, for euilfauoured.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:20]] [[41:20|bible:Genesis 41:20]] And the leane and euilfauoured kine
did eate vp the first seuen fat kine.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:21]] [[41:21|bible:Genesis 41:21]] And when they had eaten them vp, it
could not be knowen that they had eaten them, but they were still as euilfauoured, as they
were at the beginning: so did I awake.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:22]] [[41:22|bible:Genesis 41:22]] Moreouer I sawe in my dreame, and
beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and faire.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:23]] [[41:23|bible:Genesis 41:23]] And lo, seuen eares, withered, thinne,
and blasted with the East winde, sprang vp after them.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:24]] [[41:24|bible:Genesis 41:24]] And the thinne eares deuoured the
seuen good eares. Nowe I haue tolde the soothsayers, and none can declare it vnto me.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:25]] [[41:25|bible:Genesis 41:25]] And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, Both
his dreams have the same message. The dream of Pharaoh [is] one: God hath shewed Pharaoh
what he [is] about to do.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:26]] [[41:26|bible:Genesis 41:26]] The seuen good kine are seuen yeres,
and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: this is one dreame.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:27]] [[41:27|bible:Genesis 41:27]] Likewise the seuen thinne and
euilfauoured kine, that came out after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares
blasted with the East winde, are seuen yeeres of famine.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:28]] [[41:28|bible:Genesis 41:28]] This is the thing which I haue saide
vnto Pharaoh, that God hath shewed vnto Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:29]] [[41:29|bible:Genesis 41:29]] Beholde, there come seuen yeeres of
great plentie in all the land of Egypt.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:30]] [[41:30|bible:Genesis 41:30]] Againe, there shall arise after them
seuen yeeres of famine, so that all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the
famine shall consume the land:
[[@bible:Genesis 41:31]] [[41:31|bible:Genesis 41:31]] Neither shall the plentie bee knowen
in the land, by reason of this famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceeding great.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:32]] [[41:32|bible:Genesis 41:32]] And therefore the dreame was
doubled vnto Pharaoh the second time, because the thing is established by God, & God
hasteth to performe it.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:33]] [[41:33|bible:Genesis 41:33]] Now therefore let Pharaoh The office
of a true prophet is not only to show the evils to come, but also the remedies for the same.
look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:34]] [[41:34|bible:Genesis 41:34]] Let Pharaoh make and appoynt
officers ouer the lande, and take vp the fift part of the land of Egypt in the seuen plenteous
yeeres.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:35]] [[41:35|bible:Genesis 41:35]] Also let them gather all the foode of
these good yeeres that come, and lay vp corne vnder the hand of Pharaoh for foode, in the
cities, and let them keepe it.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:36]] [[41:36|bible:Genesis 41:36]] So the foode shall be for the
prouision of the lande, against the seuen yeeres of famine, which shalbe in the lande of
Egypt, that the land perish not by famine.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:37]] [[41:37|bible:Genesis 41:37]] And the saying pleased Pharaoh and
all his seruants.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:38]] [[41:38|bible:Genesis 41:38]] And Pharaoh said unto his servants,
Can we find [such a one] as this [is], a man in whom the No one should be honoured who
does not have gifts from God fitting for the same. Spirit of God [is]?
[[@bible:Genesis 41:39]] [[41:39|bible:Genesis 41:39]] The Pharaoh said to Ioseph, For as
much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is no man of vnderstanding, or of wisedome like
vnto thee.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:40]] [[41:40|bible:Genesis 41:40]] Thou shalt be over my house, and
according unto thy Some read, «the people will kill your mouth», that is obey you in all
things. word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:41]] [[41:41|bible:Genesis 41:41]] Moreouer Pharaoh said to Ioseph,
Behold, I haue set thee ouer all the land of Egypt.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:42]] [[41:42|bible:Genesis 41:42]] And Pharaoh tooke off his ring from
his hand, and put it vpon Iosephs hand, and arayed him in garments of fine linnen, and put a
golden cheyne about his necke.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:43]] [[41:43|bible:Genesis 41:43]] And he made him to ride in the
second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Or «Abrech»: a sign of honour; a
word some translate, tender father or father of the king, or kneel down. Bow the knee: and he
made him [ruler] over all the land of Egypt.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:44]] [[41:44|bible:Genesis 41:44]] Againe Pharaoh saide vnto Ioseph, I
am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift vp his hand or his foote in all the land of
Egypt.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:45]] [[41:45|bible:Genesis 41:45]] And Pharaoh called Iosephs name
Zaphnath-paaneah: and he gaue him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of
On. then went Ioseph abrode in the land of Egypt.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:46]] [[41:46|bible:Genesis 41:46]] And Joseph [was] His age is
mentioned both to show that his authority came from God, and also that he endured
imprisonment and exile for twelve years or more. thirty years old when he stood before
Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went
throughout all the land of Egypt.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:47]] [[41:47|bible:Genesis 41:47]] And in the seuen plenteous yeres the
earth brought foorth store.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:48]] [[41:48|bible:Genesis 41:48]] And hee gathered vp all the foode of
the seuen plenteous yeeres, which were in the lande of Egypt, and layde vp foode in the
cities: the foode of the fielde, that was round about euery citie, layde he vp in the same.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:49]] [[41:49|bible:Genesis 41:49]] So Ioseph gathered wheate, like vnto
the sand of the sea in multitude out of measure, vntill he left numbring: for it was without
number.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:50]] [[41:50|bible:Genesis 41:50]] Now vnto Ioseph were borne two
sonnes (before the yeeres of famine came) which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince
of On bare vnto him.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:51]] [[41:51|bible:Genesis 41:51]] And Joseph called the name of the
firstborn Manasseh: For God, [said he], hath made me forget all my toil, and all my

and prosperity caused him to forget it. father's house.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:52]] [[41:52|bible:Genesis 41:52]] Also hee called the name of the
second, Ephraim: For God, sayde he hath made me fruitfull in the land of mine affliction.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:53]] [[41:53|bible:Genesis 41:53]] So the seuen yeeres of the plentie
that was in the land of Egypt were ended.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:54]] [[41:54|bible:Genesis 41:54]] Then began the seuen yeeres of
famine to come, according as Ioseph had saide: and the famine was in all landes, but in all the
land of Egypt was bread.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:55]] [[41:55|bible:Genesis 41:55]] At the length all the lande of Egypt
was affamished, and the people cryed to Pharaoh for bread; Pharaoh said vnto all the
Egyptians, Goe to Ioseph: what he sayth to you, doe ye.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:56]] [[41:56|bible:Genesis 41:56]] When the famine was vpon all the
land, Ioseph opened all places, wherein the store was, and solde vnto the Egyptians: for the
famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
[[@bible:Genesis 41:57]] [[41:57|bible:Genesis 41:57]] And all countries came to Egypt to
bye corne of Ioseph, because the famine was sore in all landes.

Chapter 42
[[@bible:Genesis 42:1]] [[42:1|bible:Genesis 42:1]] Now when This story shows plainly that
all things are governed by God's providence for the profit of his Church. Jacob saw that there
was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye As men destitute of counsel. look one
upon another?
[[@bible:Genesis 42:2]] [[42:2|bible:Genesis 42:2]] And he said, Behold, I haue heard that
there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, & bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and
not die.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:3]] [[42:3|bible:Genesis 42:3]] So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to
bye corne of the Egyptians.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:4]] [[42:4|bible:Genesis 42:4]] But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde
not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:5]] [[42:5|bible:Genesis 42:5]] And the sonnes of Israel came to bye
foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:6]] [[42:6|bible:Genesis 42:6]] Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land,
who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, & bowed their face to
the groud before him.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:7]] [[42:7|bible:Genesis 42:7]] And Joseph saw his brethren, and he
knew them, but This concealing is not to be followed, nor any actions of the father's not
approved by God's word. made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and
he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:8]] [[42:8|bible:Genesis 42:8]] (Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but
they knew not him.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:9]] [[42:9|bible:Genesis 42:9]] And Ioseph remembred the dreames,
which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the
weaknesse of the land.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:10]] [[42:10|bible:Genesis 42:10]] But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my

are come to see the weakenes of the land.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:13]] [[42:13|bible:Genesis 42:13]] And they said, We thy seruants are
twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is
this day with our father, and one is not.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:14]] [[42:14|bible:Genesis 42:14]] Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This
is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:15]] [[42:15|bible:Genesis 42:15]] Hereby ye shall be proved: The
Egyptians who were idolaters, used to swear by their king's life: but God forbids swearing by
anyone but him: yet Joseph dwelling among the wicked was corrupted by them. By the life of
Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:16]] [[42:16|bible:Genesis 42:16]] Send one of you which may fet your

[[@bible:Genesis 42:17]] [[42:17|bible:Genesis 42:17]] So he put them in warde three dayes.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:18]] [[42:18|bible:Genesis 42:18]] And Joseph said unto them the third
day, This do, and live; [for] I And therefore am true and just. fear God:
[[@bible:Genesis 42:19]] [[42:19|bible:Genesis 42:19]] If ye be true men, let one of your

me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:21]] [[42:21|bible:Genesis 42:21]] And they said one to another,

besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
[[@bible:Genesis 42:22]] [[42:22|bible:Genesis 42:22]] And Reuben answered them, saying,

[[@bible:Genesis 42:25]] [[42:25|bible:Genesis 42:25]] So Ioseph commanded that they
should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue
them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.

Exodus
Chapter 1
[[@bible:Exodus 1:1]] [[1:1|bible:Exodus 1:1]] Now Moses describes the wonderful order
that God observes in performing his promise to Abraham; (Gen_15:14). these [are] the names
of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with
Jacob. The Argument - After Jacob by God's commandment in (Gen_46:3) had brought his
family into Egypt, where they remained for four hundred years, and from seventy people
grew to an infinite number so that the king and the country endeavoured both by tyranny and
cruel slavery to suppress them: the Lord according to his promise in (Gen_15:14) had
compassion on his Church, and delivered them, but plagued their enemies in most strange and
varied ways. The more the tyranny of the wicked raged against his Church, the more his
heavy judgments increased against them, till Pharaoh and his army were drowned in the sea,
which gave an entry and passage to the children of God. As the ingratitude of man is great, so
they immediately forgot God's wonderful benefits and although he had given them the
Passover as a sign and memorial of the same, yet they fell to distrust, and tempted God with
various complaining and grudging against him and his ministers: sometimes out of ambition,
sometimes lack of drink or meat to satisfy their lusts, sometimes idolatry, or such like. For
this reason, God punished them with severe rods and plagues, that by his correction they
might turn to him for help against his scourges, and earnestly repent for their rebellion and
wickedness. Because God loves them to the end, whom he has once begun to love, he
punished them not as they deserved, but dealt with them mercifully, and with new benefits
laboured to overcome their malice: for he still governed them and gave them his word and
Law, both concerning the way to serve him, and also the form of judgments and civil policy:
with the intent that they would not serve God after as they pleased, but according to the order,
that his heavenly wisdom had appointed.

[[@bible:Exodus 9:12]] [[9:12|bible:Exodus 9:12]] And the Lord hardened the heart of
Pharaoh, and he hearkened not vnto them, as the Lorde had said vnto Moses.
[[@bible:Exodus 9:13]] [[9:13|bible:Exodus 9:13]] Also the Lorde said vnto Moses, Rise vp

caused haile to raine vpon the land of Egypt.
[[@bible:Exodus 9:24]] [[9:24|bible:Exodus 9:24]] So there was haile, and fire mingled with
the haile, so grieuous, as there was none throughout all the lande of Egypt, since it was a

[[@bible:Exodus 9:25]] [[9:25|bible:Exodus 9:25]] And the haile smote throughout al ye land

[[@bible:Exodus 9:26]] [[9:26|bible:Exodus 9:26]] Onely in the lande of Goshen (where the
children of Israel were) was no haile.

[[@bible:Exodus 9:33]] [[9:33|bible:Exodus 9:33]] Then Moses went out of the citie from
Pharaoh, and spred his hands to the Lorde, and the thunder and the haile ceased, neither

[[@bible:Exodus 9:34]] [[9:34|bible:Exodus 9:34]] And when Pharaoh sawe that the raine

neither would he let the children of Israel goe, as the Lord had said by Moses.

vnto Pharaoh, and he saide vnto them, Goe, serue the Lorde your God, but who are they that
shall goe?
[[@bible:Exodus 10:9]] [[10:9|bible:Exodus 10:9]] And Moses answered, We will go with

[[@bible:Exodus 32:19]] [[32:19|bible:Exodus 32:19]] Nowe, as soone as he came neere vnto

Tables out of his handes, and brake them in pieces beneath the mountaine.
[[@bible:Exodus 32:20]] [[32:20|bible:Exodus 32:20]] And he took the calf which they had

did this people vnto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sinne vpon them?

[[@bible:Exodus 32:23]] [[32:23|bible:Exodus 32:23]] And they sayde vnto me, Make vs

[[@bible:Exodus 32:24]] [[32:24|bible:Exodus 32:24]] Then I sayde to them, Ye that haue

[[@bible:Exodus 32:26]] [[32:26|bible:Exodus 32:26]] And Moses stoode in ye gate of the

gathered themselues vnto him.
[[@bible:Exodus 32:27]] [[32:27|bible:Exodus 32:27]] And he said unto them, Thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, [and] go in and out from gate to

against Levi to a blessing, (Deu_33:9). slay every man his brother, and every man his

[[@bible:Exodus 32:28]] [[32:28|bible:Exodus 32:28]] So the children of Leui did as Moses

[[@bible:Exodus 32:30]] [[32:30|bible:Exodus 32:30]] And when the morning came, Moses
sayde vnto the people, Yee haue committed a grieuous crime: but now I wil goe vp to the
Lord, if I may pacifie him for your sinne.
[[@bible:Exodus 32:31]] [[32:31|bible:Exodus 32:31]] Moses therefore went againe vnto ye

[[@bible:Exodus 32:34]] [[32:34|bible:Exodus 32:34]] This demonstrates how grievous a sin
idolatry is, seeing that at Moses prayer God would not fully remit it. Therefore now go, lead

before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
[[@bible:Exodus 32:35]] [[32:35|bible:Exodus 32:35]] So the Lorde plagued the people,
because they caused Aaro to make ye calfe which he made.

[[@bible:Exodus 33:5]] [[33:5|bible:Exodus 33:5]] For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say

[[@bible:Exodus 33:7]] [[33:7|bible:Exodus 33:7]] And Moses took the tabernacle, and
pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the That is, the tabernacle of

God daily by most singular benefits declared himself mindful of his Church: he did not want
them to have opportunity to trust either in themselves, or to depend on others, either for lack
of physical things, or anything that belonged to his divine service and religion. Therefore he
ordained various kinds of duties and sacrifices, to assure them of forgiveness for their
offences (if they offered them in true faith and obedience.) Also he appointed the priests and
levites, their apparel, offices, conversation and portion; he showed what feasts they should
observe, and when. Moreover, he declares by these sacrifices and ceremonies that the reward
of sin is death, and that without the blood of Christ the innocent Lamb, there can be no
forgiveness of sins. Because they should not give priority to their own inventions (which God
detested, as appears by the terrible example of Nadab and Abihu) he prescribed even to the
least things, what they should do, what beasts they should offer and eat, what diseases were
contagious and to be avoided, how they should purge all types of filthiness and pollution,
whose company they should flee, what marriages were lawful, and what customs were
profitable. After declaring these things, he promised favour and blessing to those who keep
his laws, and threatened his curse to those who transgressed them.

wilderness of In the place in the wilderness that was near mount Sinai. Sinai, in the tabernacle
of the congregation, on the first [day] of the Which is part of April and part of May. second
month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, The
Argument - In that as God has appointed that his Church in this world shall be under the
cross, both so they could learn not to put their trust in worldly things, and also feel his
comfort, when all other help fails: he did not immediately bring his people, after their
departure out of Egypt, into the land which he had promised them: but led them to and fro for
the space of forty years, and kept them in continual exercises before they enjoyed it, to try
their faith, teach them to forget the world, and to depend on him. Which trial greatly profited,
to discern the wicked and the hypocrites from the faithful and true servants of God, who
served him with pure heart, while the other, preferring their earthly lusts to God's glory, and
making religion to serve their purpose, complained when they lacked enough to satisfy their
lusts, and despised those who God had appointed as rulers over them. By reason of which
they provoked God's terrible judgments against them, and are set forth as a notable example
for all ages, to beware how they abuse God's word, prefer their own lusts to his will, or
despise his ministers. Nonetheless, God is always true to his promise, and governs his by his
Holy Spirit, that either they fall not to such inconveniences, or else return to him quickly in
true repentance: and therefore he continues his graces toward them, he gives them ordinances
and instructions, as well for religion, as outward policy: he preserves them against all deceit
and conspiracy, and gives them many victories against their enemies. To avoid all
controversies that might arise, he takes away the occasions, by dividing among all the tribes,
both the land which they had won, and that also which he had promised, as seemed best to his
godly wisdom.
