Hebrews 2
1
We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
2
For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,
3
how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
4
God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
5
It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6
But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him?
7
You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor
8
and put everything under their feet.”In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.
9
But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10
In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.
11
Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.
12
He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.”
13
And again, “I will put my trust in him.”And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.”
14
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—
15
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
16
For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.
17
For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
18
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Genesis 46
1
So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2
And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!” “Here I am,” he replied.
3
“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.
4
I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.”
5
Then Jacob left Beersheba, and Israel’s sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to transport him.
6
So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt, taking with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in Canaan.
7
Jacob brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.
8
These are the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob.
9
The sons of Reuben: Hanok, Pallu, Hezron and Karmi.
10
The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
11
The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
12
The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez and Zerah (but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul.
13
The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah, Jashub and Shimron.
14
The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon and Jahleel.
15
These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, besides his daughter Dinah. These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all.
16
The sons of Gad: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.
17
The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah. Their sister was Serah. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malkiel.
18
These were the children born to Jacob by Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah—sixteen in all.
19
The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
20
In Egypt, Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
21
The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.
22
These were the sons of Rachel who were born to Jacob—fourteen in all.
23
The son of Dan: Hushim.
24
The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, Guni, Jezer and Shillem.
25
These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel—seven in all.
26
All those who went to Egypt with Jacob—those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons’ wives—numbered sixty-six persons.
27
With the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt, the members of Jacob’s family, which went to Egypt, were seventy in all.
28
Now Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When they arrived in the region of Goshen,
29
Joseph had his chariot made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father and wept for a long time.
30
Israel said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, since I have seen for myself that you are still alive.”
31
Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were living in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
32
The men are shepherds; they tend livestock, and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’
33
When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’
34
you should answer, ‘Your servants have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the region of Goshen, for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.”

Genesis 47
1
Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.”
2
He chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
3
Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What is your occupation?” “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied to Pharaoh, “just as our fathers were.”
4
They also said to him, “We have come to live here for a while, because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants’ flocks have no pasture. So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.”
5
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you,
6
and the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best part of the land. Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability, put them in charge of my own livestock.”
7
Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him before Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
8
Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?”
9
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty. My years have been few and difficult, and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers.”
10
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.
11
So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh directed.
12
Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their children.
13
There was no food, however, in the whole region because the famine was severe; both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine.
14
Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying, and he brought it to Pharaoh’s palace.
15
When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all Egypt came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? Our money is all gone.”
16
“Then bring your livestock,” said Joseph. “I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone.”
17
So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys. And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock.
18
When that year was over, they came to him the following year and said, “We cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land.
19
Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”
20
So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh’s,
21
and Joseph reduced the people to servitude, from one end of Egypt to the other.
22
However, he did not buy the land of the priests, because they received a regular allotment from Pharaoh and had food enough from the allotment Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.
23
Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground.
24
But when the crop comes in, give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves and your households and your children.”
25
“You have saved our lives,” they said. “May we find favor in the eyes of our lord; we will be in bondage to Pharaoh.”
26
So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egypt—still in force today—that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. It was only the land of the priests that did not become Pharaoh’s.
27
Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number.
28
Jacob lived in Egypt seventeen years, and the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.
29
When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise that you will show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,
30
but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried.” “I will do as you say,” he said.
31
“Swear to me,” he said. Then Joseph swore to him, and Israel worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

Psalms 37
1
Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;
2
for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
3
Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
7
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9
For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10
A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
11
But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12
The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;
13
but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.
14
The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
15
But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
16
Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;
17
for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18
The blameless spend their days under the LORD’s care, and their inheritance will endure forever.
19
In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20
But the wicked will perish: Though the LORD’s enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.
21
The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
22
those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be destroyed.
23
The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;
24
though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
25
I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.
26
They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.
27
Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
28
For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed ; the offspring of the wicked will perish.
29
The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
30
The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just.
31
The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip.
32
The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, intent on putting them to death;
33
but the LORD will not leave them in the power of the wicked or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
34
Hope in the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.
35
I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a luxuriant native tree,
36
but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37
Consider the blameless, observe the upright; a future awaits those who seek peace.
38
But all sinners will be destroyed; there will be no future for the wicked.
39
The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40
The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
