Genesis 49:2

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. an: Heb. an adding

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
