105 O give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people.

² Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him; talk ye of all His wondrous works.

³ Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

⁴ Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face evermore.

⁵ Remember His marvelous works that He hath done, His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,

⁶ O ye seed of Abraham, His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen.

¹⁶ Moreover He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

¹⁷ He sent a man before them, even Joseph who was sold as a servant,

¹⁸ whose feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in irons.

¹⁹ Until the time when his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tried him.

²⁰ The king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

²¹ He made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,

²² to command his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom.

⁴⁵ that they might observe His statutes and keep His laws. Praise ye the Lord!

36 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

² Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

³ and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

⁴ And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; and Basemath bore Reuel;

⁵ and Aholibamah bore Jeush and Jaalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

⁶ And Esau took his wives, and his sons and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle and all his beasts, and all his substance which he had gotten in the land of Canaan, and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.

⁷ For their riches were more than that they might dwell together, and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.

⁸ Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir. Esau is Edom.

²⁴ And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

²⁵ This man was instructed in the Way of the Lord; and being fervent in the Spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.

²⁶ And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla had heard him, they took him unto them and expounded unto him the Way of God more perfectly.

²⁷ And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him. And when he had come, he helped them much who had believed through grace;

²⁸ for he mightily refuted the Jews (and that publicly), showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
