For, behold,°
we°
[were] binding°°°
sheaves°
in°
the field,°

stood upright;°°
and, behold,°
your sheaves°
stood round about,°°
and made obeisance°°
to my sheaf.° |

said°°
to him, Shalt thou indeed°°
reign°°
over°
us? or°

the more°°
for°
his dreams,°

his words.° |

37:10
And he told°°
[it] to°
his father,°

dream°
that°
thou hast dreamed?°°

said°°
unto°
Joseph,°
Do not°
thy brethren°
feed°°
[the flock] in Shechem?°
come,°°°
and I will send°
thee°°
unto°
them. And he said°°
to him, Here°
[am I]. |
|
37:14

37:14
And he said°°
to him, Go,°°°
I pray thee,°
see°°
whether°
it be well°
with thy brethren,°

with the flocks;°
and bring°°
me word°
again.°°
