so_o many_o a_o bad_a one_o fare_v the_o better_a for_o his_o father_n goodness_n as_o cham_n be_v save_v in_o the_o ark_n not_o for_o his_o own_o but_o for_o his_o father_n sake_n and_o i_o do_v

together_o be_v more_o available_a for_o their_o posterity_n than_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o single_a of_o they_o therefore_o jacob_n say_v to_o joseph_n gen._n 49._o 26._o the_o
