7 And the sons of Helah were Zereth, Zohar and Ethnan.
8 Also, Koz begat Anub and Zobebah and the families of Aharhel, the son of Harum.
9 But Jabez was more honorable than his brethren. And his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in sorrow.”
10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, and that Your Hand were with me, and that You would deliver me from evil, so that I am not hurt!” And God granted the thing that he asked.

26 And the sons of Mishma were Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, and Shimei his son.
27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters. But his brethren did not have many children, nor was any of their family like the children of Judah in multitude.

39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, to the eastern side of the valley, to seek pasture for their sheep.
40 And they found abundant, rich pasture with and a wide, quiet and fruitful land. For the Hamites had dwelt there before.
41 And those described here by name came in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and struck their tents, and the inhabitants who were found there, and destroyed them utterly to this day, and dwelt in their space, because there was pasture there for their sheep.
42 And besides these, five hundred men of the sons of Simeon went to Mount Seir. And Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, were their captains.
43 And they struck the rest of Amalek who had escaped. And they dwell there to this day.
5 Also the sons of Reuben, the eldest son of Israel— for he was the eldest but had defiled his father’s bed. Therefore, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed by birthright.
2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and from him came the Prince. But the birthright was Joseph’s—
3 the sons of Reuben, the eldest son of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
4 The sons of Joel were Shemaiah, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

8 And Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon.
9 Also he inhabited eastward, to the entrance of the wilderness, from the river Perath. For they had many cattle in the land of Gilead.
10 And in the days of Saul they warred with the Hagrites, who fell by their hands. And they dwelt in their tents in all the eastern parts of Gilead.
11 And the children of Gad dwelt opposite them in the land of Bashan, to Salcah.
12 Joel was the chief, and Shapham the second. But Jaanai and Shaphat were in Bashan.
13 And their brethren of the House of their fathers were Michael and Meshullam and Sheba and Jorai and Jachan and Zia and Eber (seven).
14 These are the children of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz.
15 Ahi, the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was chief of the household of their fathers.
16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, by their borders.
17 All these were listed by genealogies in the days of Jotham, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
18 The sons of Reuben and of Gad and of half the tribe of Manasseh, of those who were valiant men, able to bear shield and sword, and to draw a bow exercised in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred sixty, who went out to the war.
19 And they made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur and Naphish and Nodab.
20 And they were helped in fighting them. And the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them. For they cried to God in the battle, and He heard them, because they trusted in Him.
21 And they led away their cattle, their fifty thousand camels and two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys, and a hundred thousand people.
22 For many fell down wounded, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their places until the Captivity.
23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land, from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir and to Mount Hermon. For they increased.
24 And these were the heads of the households of their fathers: Epher and Ishi and Eliel and Azriel and Jeremiah and Hodaviah and Jahdiel, strong men, valiant and famous, heads of the households of their fathers.
25 But they transgressed against the God of their fathers and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul, king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria. And he carried them away— the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh— and brought them to Halah and Habor and Hara and to the river Gozan, to this day.
6 The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath and Merari.

49 But Aaron and his sons burnt incense upon the Altar of Burnt Offering and on the Altar of Incense, for all that there was to do in the Most Holy Place, and to make an atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses, the servant of God, had commanded.

6 After these things, Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on those who were diseased.
3 Then Jesus went up onto a mountain. And there He sat with His disciples.
4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes. And seeing that a great multitude came to Him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, so that these might eat?”
6 (He said this to test him. For He knew what he would do.)
7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denari worth of bread is not sufficient for them, if every one of them takes a little.”
8 Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, one of His disciples, said to Him,
9 “There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves, and two fishes. But what are they among so many?”
10 And Jesus said, “Make the men sit down. (Now there was much grass in that place.) Then the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
11 And Jesus took the bread, and gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples. And the disciples gave to those who were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they wanted.
12 And when they were satisfied, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which remain, so that nothing is lost.”
13 Then they gathered it up and filled twelve baskets with the broken pieces of the five barley loaves, which remained from those who had eaten.
14 Then the men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet Who is to come into the world.”
15 Therefore, when Jesus perceived that they would come and take Him to make him a king, He departed again into a mountain by Himself.
16 When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
17 and entered into a ship and went over the sea towards Capernaum. And now it was dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 And the sea arose with a great wind that blew.
19 And when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus, walking on the sea and drawing near to the ship. So, they were afraid.
20 But He said to them, “It is Me! Do not be afraid!”
21 Then, willingly, they received Him into the ship. And immediately the ship arrived at the land where they were going.
