Genesis 3
in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-
And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat:
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?
therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
And the man called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be its desire, but do thou rule over it.
when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth.

but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

Genesis 8
the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.
Genesis 6
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die.
And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose.
And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them,
And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, `and' perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God.
And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
Genesis 7
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.
And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in.
And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground,
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
Genesis 10
And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,
And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.

And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha.
and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth,
And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
Genesis 9
and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; With all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: And he died.
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you. Of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
and he drank of the wine, and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; As the green herb have I given you all.
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
But flesh with the life thereof, `which is' the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God made he man.
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.
And surely your blood, `the blood' of your lives, will I require; At the hand of every beast will I require it. And at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.
Genesis 11
And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top `may reach' unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: The name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.
Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me. If thou wilt take' the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if thou take' the right hand, then I will go to the left.
for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

And Jehovah said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward:
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: So that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered.
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.

and it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto Jehovah, and called upon the name of Jehovah.

And Abram said, O Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?
And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.
And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not.
In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
And, behold, the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heir; But he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew: now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
Genesis 16
And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid into they bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: Jehovah judge between me and thee.
And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
And the angel of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bare him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.
But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt hardly with her, and she fled from her face.
And he said, Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
And he shall be as' a wild ass among men; his hand shall be' against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brethren.
And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath heard thy affliction.
And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
And she called the name of Jehovah that spake unto her, Thou art a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me?
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bare, Ishmael.

and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, `and' well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
And Jehovah appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
seeing that Abraham had surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;
Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked?
And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Jehovah.
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.
And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:
And Jehovah went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Genesis 17
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner that is not of thy seed.
And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be `a mother of' nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations.
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

And Abraham said unto God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
Genesis 19
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my lord:
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful unto him; and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of the place:
And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him.
And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, `even' the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;
And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
and they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken. For she is a man's wife.
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee. Dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live. And if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
And Abraham prayed unto God. And God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bare children.
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? And wherein have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. And the men were sore afraid.
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
and it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me. At every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place. And they will slay me for my wife's sake.
And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee. And in respect of all thou art righted.

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot. For she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba. Because there they sware both of them.

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. Because thou hast obeyed my voice.

And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spake unto the children of Heth, saying,
And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
Nay, my lord, hear me. The field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee. In the presence of the children of my people give I it thee. Bury thy dead.

And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
