And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. {comfort: Heb. stay} {are...: Heb. you have passed}

Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
And they said unto him, Where {is} Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead {it}, and make cakes upon the hearth. {Make ready...: Heb. Hasten}
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard {it} in the tent door, which {was} behind him.
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
Now Abraham and Sarah {were} old {and} well stricken in age; {and} it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
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 ten's sake.
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy {it} for twenty's sake.
And he said {unto him}, 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.
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which {am but} dust and ashes:
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do {it} for forty's sake.
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for {lack of} five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy {it}.
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
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 the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that {are} therein?
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Genesis 19
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing {them} rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
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.
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. {Zoar: that is, Little}
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. {are here: Heb. are found} {iniquity: or, punishment}
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
Behold now, this city {is} near to flee unto, and it {is} a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, ({is} it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn 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 men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring {them} out of this place:
And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. {thee: Heb. thy face}
And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
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 they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where {are} the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
And they smote the men that {were} at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. {risen: Heb. gone forth}
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as {is} good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
And they said, Stand back. And they said {again}, 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 came near to break the door.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Genesis 20
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 shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He {is} my brother.
Said he not unto me, She {is} my sister? and she, even she herself said, He {is} my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity}
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She {is} my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou {art but} a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she {is} a man's wife. {a man's...: Heb. married to an husband}
And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave {them} unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended 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.
But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
And yet indeed {she is} my sister; she {is} the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare {children}.
And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand {pieces} of silver: behold, he {is} to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that {are} with thee, and with all {other}: thus she was reproved.
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land {is} before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. {where...: Heb. as is good in thine eyes}
Genesis 21
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave {it} unto Hagar, putting {it} on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
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 see the death of the child. And she sat over against {him}, and lift up her voice, and wept.
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he {is} thy seed.
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the {same} day that Isaac was weaned.
Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, {even} with Isaac.
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born {him} a son in his old age.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, {so that} all that hear will laugh with me.
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he {is}.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: {but} according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. {that thou...: Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me}
