• • •
26
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
• • •
30
¶ And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing
Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31
And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
• • •
34
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
• • •
38
And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
• • •
41
¶ And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
1
And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
• • •
10
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is
this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy
brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
• • •
22
And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
• • •
35
And all his sons and all his
daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and
he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
9
And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
• • •
17
And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.
18
And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
19
And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
2
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there
never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my
people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?
And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
4
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5
¶ Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6
And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
• • •
9
And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father
and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them
that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
10
¶ So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
4
And his father in law, the damsel’s father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
• • •
7

• • •
9
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel’s father,
said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you
tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that
thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that
thou mayest go home.

For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
• • •
6
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father.
• • •
27
And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.
• • •
33
Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the
goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom
the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
• • •
43
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

• • •
11

• • •
24
And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
• • •
26
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
43
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
• • •
46
And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
• • •
50
¶ And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
• • •
52
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
53
For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the Lord God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
12
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

• • •
28
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29
And he answering said to his father,
Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any
time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might
make merry with my friends:
1
And it came to pass that when they had established a church in
that land, that king Lamoni desired that Ammon should go with him to the
land of Nephi, that he might show him unto his father.
• • •
12
And he also told him all the cause of his tarrying in his own kingdom, that he did not go unto his father to the feast which he had prepared.
13
And now when Lamoni had rehearsed unto him all these things, behold, to his astonishment, his father
was angry with him, and said: Lamoni, thou art going to deliver these
Nephites, who are sons of a liar. Behold, he robbed our fathers; and
now his children are also come amongst us that
they may, by their cunning and their lyings, deceive us, that they
again may rob us of our property.
• • •
16

9
Wherefore, he came to the hill Ephraim, and he did molten out of the
hill, and made swords out of steel for those whom he had drawn away with

Nehor, and gave battle unto his brother Corihor, by which means he obtained the kingdom and restored it unto his father Kib.

• • •
23

And let my servant Oliver Cowdery have the lot which is set off joining
the house, which is to be for the printing office, which is lot number
one, and also the lot upon which his father resides.
• • •
