And
the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai
Abram’s wife.
The LORD, however,
afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of
Abram’s wife Sarai.
Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning
Abram, and
they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
And
Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into
the south.
So
Abram went up out of Egypt into
the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.
And he went on his journeys from
the south even to
Bethel, unto
the place where his tent had been at
the beginning, between
Bethel and Hai;
From
the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward
Bethel, until he came to
the place between
Bethel and
Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,
Unto
the place of
the altar, which he had made
there at
the first: and
there Abram called on
the name of
the LORD.
to
the site where he had built
the altar. And
there Abram called on
the name of
the LORD.
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
But
the land was unable to support both of
them while
they stayed together, for
they had so many possessions that
they were unable to
coexist.
And
there was a
strife between
the herdmen of
Abram’s cattle and
the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and
the Canaanite and
the Perizzite dwelled
then in
the land.
And
there was discord between
the herdsmen of
Abram and
the herdsmen of Lot. At that time
the Canaanites and
the Perizzites were also living in
the land.
And
Abram said unto Lot, Let
there be no
strife, I pray
thee, between me and
thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
So
Abram said to Lot, “Please let
there be no
contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.
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 depart to
the right hand,
then I will go to
the left.
Is not
the whole land before you? Now separate
yourself from me. If you go to
the left, I will go to
the right; if you go to
the right, I will go to
the left.”
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and
beheld all
the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before
the LORD destroyed
Sodom and
Gomorrah, even as
the garden of
the LORD, like
the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
And Lot looked out and saw that
the whole plain of
the Jordan, all
the way to Zoar, was well watered like
the garden of
the LORD, like
the land of Egypt. (This was before
the LORD destroyed
Sodom and
Gomorrah.)
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
So Lot chose
the whole plain of
the Jordan for himself and set out toward
the east. And
Abram and Lot parted company.
Abram dwelled in
the land of
Canaan, and Lot dwelled in
the cities of
the plain, and pitched his tent toward
Sodom.
Abram lived in
the land of
Canaan, but Lot settled in
the cities of
the plain and pitched his tent toward
Sodom.
But
the men of
Sodom were wicked and sinners before
the LORD exceedingly.
But
the men of
Sodom were wicked,
sinning greatly against
the LORD.
And
the LORD 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:
After Lot had departed,
the LORD said to
Abram, “Now lift up your eyes from
the place where you are, and look to
the north and south and east and west,
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
for all
the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring
forever.
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 shall thy seed also be numbered.
I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if one could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”
Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in
the plain of
Mamre, which is in
Hebron, and built
there an altar unto
the LORD.
So
Abram moved his tent and went to live near
the Oaks of
Mamre at
Hebron, where he built an altar to
the LORD.
And it came to pass in
the days of Amraphel king of
Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar,
Chedorlaomer king of
Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
In those days Amraphel king of
Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar,
Chedorlaomer king of
Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim
That
these made war with Bera king of
Sodom, and with Birsha king of
Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and
the king of
Bela, which is Zoar.
went to war against Bera king of
Sodom, Birsha king of
Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and
the king of
Bela (that is, Zoar).
All
these were joined together in
the vale of Siddim, which is
the salt sea.
The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
And in
the fourteenth year came
Chedorlaomer, and
the kings that were with him, and
smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and
the Zuzims in
Ham, and
the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
In
the fourteenth year,
Chedorlaomer and
the kings allied with him went out and defeated
the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim,
the Zuzites in
Ham,
the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
And
the Horites in
their mount
Seir, unto El-
paran, which is by
the wilderness.
and
the Horites in
the area of Mount
Seir, as far as El-
paran, which is near
the desert.
And
they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and
smote all
the country of
the Amalekites, and also
the Amorites that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.
Then they turned back to
invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and
they conquered
the whole territory of
the Amalekites, as well as
the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
And
there went out
the king of
Sodom, and
the king of
Gomorrah, and
the king of Admah, and
the king of Zeboiim, and
the king of
Bela (
the same is Zoar;) and
they joined battle with
them in
the vale of Siddim;
Then the king of
Sodom,
the king of
Gomorrah,
the king of Admah,
the king of Zeboiim, and
the king of
Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and
arrayed themselves for battle in
the Valley of Siddim
With
Chedorlaomer the king of
Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of
Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
against
Chedorlaomer king of
Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of
Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
And
the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and
the kings of
Sodom and
Gomorrah fled, and fell
there; and
they that remained fled to
the mountain.
Now
the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as
the kings of
Sodom and
Gomorrah fled, some men fell into
the pits, but
the survivors fled to
the hill country.
The four kings seized all
the goods of
Sodom and
Gomorrah and all
their food, and
they went on
their way.
And
they took Lot,
Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in
Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
They also carried off
Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in
Sodom.
And
there came one that had escaped, and told
Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in
the plain of
Mamre the Amorite, brother of
Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and
these were
confederate with
Abram.
Then an escapee came and reported this to
Abram the Hebrew. Now
Abram was living near
the Oaks of
Mamre the Amorite, a brother of
Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty to
Abram.
And when
Abram heard that his brother was taken
captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued
them unto
Dan.
And when
Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he
mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and
they set out in pursuit as far as
Dan.
And he divided himself against
them, he and his servants, by night, and
smote them, and pursued
them unto Hobah, which is on
the left hand of Damascus.
During
the night,
Abram divided his forces and routed
Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing
them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
He
retrieved all
the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with
the women and
the rest of
the people.
And
the king of
Sodom went out to meet him after his return from
the slaughter of
Chedorlaomer, and of
the kings that were with him, at
the valley of Shaveh, which is
the king’s
dale.
After
Abram returned from defeating
Chedorlaomer and
the kings allied with him,
the king of
Sodom went out to meet him in
the Valley of Shaveh (that is,
the King’s Valley).
And
Melchizedek king of
Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was
the priest of
the most high God.
Then Melchizedek king of
Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High—
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be
Abram of
the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth:
and he blessed
Abram and said: “Blessed be
Abram by God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth,
And blessed be
the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him
tithes of all.
and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Then Abram gave
Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
And
the king of
Sodom said unto
Abram, Give me
the persons, and take
the goods to
thyself.
And
Abram said to
the king of
Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto
the LORD,
the most high God,
the possessor of heaven and earth,
But
Abram replied to
the king of
Sodom, “I have raised my hand to
the LORD God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth,
Save only that which
the young men have eaten, and
the portion of
the men which went with me, Aner,
Eshcol, and
Mamre; let
them take
their portion.
I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and
the share for
the men who went with me—Aner,
Eshcol, and
Mamre.
They may take
their portion.”
After
these things
the word of
the LORD came unto
Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not,
Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
After
these events,
the word of
the LORD came to
Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid,
Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”
And
Abram said, Lord GOD, what
wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and
the steward of my house is this
Eliezer of Damascus?
But
Abram replied, “O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and
the heir of my house is
Eliezer of Damascus?”
And, behold,
the word of
the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own
bowels shall be thine heir.
Then the word of
the LORD came to
Abram, saying, “This one will not be your heir, but one who comes from your own body will be your heir.”
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
And the LORD took him outside and said, “Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able.” Then He told him, “So shall your offspring be.”
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Abram believed
the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
And he said unto him, I am
the LORD that brought
thee out of
Ur of
the Chaldees, to give
thee this land to
inherit it.
The LORD also told him, “I am
the LORD, who brought you out of
Ur of
the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”
And he said unto him, Take me an
heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a
turtledove, and a young
pigeon.
And
the LORD said to him, “Bring Me a
heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, along with a
turtledove and a young
pigeon.”
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
So
Abram brought all
these to Him, split each of
them down
the middle, and laid
the halves opposite each other.
The birds, however, he did not cut in half.
And when
the fowls came down upon
the carcases,
Abram drove
them away.
And
the birds of prey descended on
the carcasses, but
Abram drove
them away.
And when
the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon
Abram; and, lo, an
horror of great darkness fell upon him.
As
the sun was setting,
Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness
overwhelmed him.
And he said unto
Abram, Know of a
surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not
theirs, and shall serve
them; and
they shall
afflict them four hundred years;
Then the LORD said to
Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not
their own, and
they will be
enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.
But in
the fourth generation
they shall come
hither again: for
the iniquity of
the Amorites is not yet full.
In
the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for
the iniquity of
the Amorites is not yet complete.”
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
When
the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking
firepot and a flaming
torch appeared and passed between
the halves of
the carcasses.
In
the same day
the LORD 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:
On that day
the LORD made a covenant with
Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land—from
the river of Egypt to
the great River Euphrates—
And Sarai said unto
Abram, Behold now,
the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray
thee, go in unto my
maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And
Abram hearkened to
the voice of Sarai.
So Sarai said to
Abram, “Look now,
the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my
maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.” And
Abram listened to
the voice of Sarai.
And Sarai
Abram’s wife took
Hagar her
maid the Egyptian, after
Abram had dwelt ten years in
the land of
Canaan, and gave her to her husband
Abram to be his wife.
So after he had lived in
Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian
maidservant Hagar and gave her to
Abram to be his wife.
And Sarai said unto
Abram, My wrong be upon
thee: I have given my
maid into thy
bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was
despised in her eyes:
the LORD judge between me and
thee.
Then Sarai said to
Abram, “May
the wrong done to me be upon you! I delivered my servant into your arms, and ever since she saw that she was
pregnant, she has treated me with contempt. May
the LORD judge between you and me.”
But
Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy
maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth
thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
“Here,” said
Abram, “your servant is in your hands. Do whatever you want with her.”
Then Sarai treated
Hagar so harshly that she fled from her.
And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Now
the angel of
the LORD found
Hagar by a spring of water in
the desert—
the spring along
the road to Shur.
“
Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my
mistress Sarai,” she replied.
And
the angel of
the LORD said unto her, Return to thy
mistress, and submit
thyself under her hands.
So
the angel of
the LORD told her, “Return to your
mistress and submit to her authority.”
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”
And
the angel of
the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name
Ishmael; because
the LORD hath heard thy
affliction.
The angel of
the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him
Ishmael, for
the LORD has heard your cry of
affliction.
And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
He will be a wild
donkey of a man, and his hand will be against
everyone, and
everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
And she called
the name of
the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that
seeth me?
So
Hagar gave this name to
the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are
the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen
the One who sees me!”
Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is
located between Kadesh and Bered.
And when
Abram was
ninety years old and nine,
the LORD appeared to
Abram, and said unto him, I am
the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”
And
Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,
As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.
Neither shall thy name any more be called
Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made
thee.
No longer will you be called
Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.
And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.
And I will establish my covenant between me and
thee and thy seed after
thee in
their generations for an
everlasting covenant, to be a God unto
thee, and to thy seed after
thee.
I will establish My covenant as an
everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and
the God of your descendants after you.
And I will give unto
thee, and to thy seed after
thee,
the land wherein thou art a stranger, all
the land of
Canaan, for an
everlasting possession; and I will be
their God.
And to you and your descendants I will give
the land where you are residing—all
the land of
Canaan—as an eternal possession; and I will be
their God.”
And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.
This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after
thee; Every man child among you shall be
circumcised.
This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be
circumcised.
You are to
circumcise the flesh of your
foreskin, and this will be a sign of
the covenant between Me and you.
And he that is eight days old shall be
circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in
the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
Generation after generation, every male must be
circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner—even those who are not your offspring.
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.
Whether
they are born in your household or purchased,
they must be
circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an
everlasting covenant.
But if any male is not
circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but
Sarah shall her name be.
Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be
Sarah.
And I will
bless her, and give
thee a son also of her:
yea, I will
bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
And I will
bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will
bless her, and she will be
the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her.”
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and
laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall
Sarah, that is
ninety years old, bear?
Abraham fell facedown.
Then he
laughed and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can
Sarah give birth at
the age of
ninety?”
And Abraham said unto God, O that
Ishmael might live before
thee!
And Abraham said to God, “O that
Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”
And God said,
Sarah thy wife shall bear
thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an
everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
But God replied, “Your wife
Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an
everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
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
Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely
bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become
the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which
Sarah shall bear unto
thee at this set time in
the next year.
But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom
Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”
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.
On that very day Abraham took his son
Ishmael and all those born in his household or purchased with his money—every male among
the members of Abraham’s household—and he
circumcised them, just as God had told him.
And all
the men of his house, born in
the house, and bought with money of
the stranger, were
circumcised with him.
And all
the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were
circumcised with him.
And
the LORD appeared unto him in
the plains of
Mamre: and he sat in
the tent door in
the heat of
the day;
Then the LORD appeared to Abraham by
the Oaks of
Mamre in
the heat of
the day, while he was sitting at
the entrance of his tent.
