AND the king of Edom died in those days, in the eighteenth year of his reign, and was buried in his temple which he had built for himself as his royal residence in the land of Edom.
And the children of Esau sent to Pethor, which is upon the river, and they fetched from there a young man of beautiful eyes and comely aspect, whose name was Sha'ul, and they made him king over them in the place of Samlah.
And Sha'ul reigned over all the children of Esau in the land of Edom for forty years.
And when Phar'oh king of Mitsrayim saw that the counsel which Bil`am had advised respecting the children of Yashar'el did not succeed, but that still they were fruitful, multiplied and increased throughout the land of Mitsrayim,
Then Phar'oh commanded in those days that a proclamation should be issued throughout Mitsrayim to the children of Yashar'el, saying, No man shall diminish anything of his daily labor.
And the man who shall be found deficient in his labor which he performs daily, whether in mortar or in bricks, then his youngest son shall be put in their place.
And the labor of Mitsrayim strengthened upon the children of Yashar'el in those days, and behold if one brick was deficient in any man's daily labor, the Mitsriym took his youngest boy by force from his mother, and put him into the building in the place of the brick which his father had left wanting.
And the men of Mitsrayim did so to all the children of Yashar'el day by day, all the days for a long period.
But the tribe of Leviy did not at that time work with Yashar'el their brethren, from the beginning, for the children of Leviy knew the cunning of the Mitsriym which they exercised at first toward Yashar'el.
