slay me.

this time next year, and your wife
Sarah will have a son!” Now
Sarah was behind him,
listening at the entrance to the tent.

this pleasure?”
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?

angry, but let me speak once more. Suppose ten are found there?” And He answered, “On account of the ten, I will not destroy it.”
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.
They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to you
tonight? Send them out to us so we can have relations with them!”
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.
“Get out of the way!” they replied. And they declared, “This one came here as a foreigner, and he is already acting like a judge! Now we will treat you worse than them.” And they pressed in on Lot and moved in to break down the door.
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:
Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have
anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or
anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,
For we will destroy
this place, because the cry of them is
waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”
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.
So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were
pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of
this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was
joking.
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.
Look, there is a town nearby where I can
flee, and it is a small place. Please let me
flee there—is it not a small place? Then my life will be saved.”
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.
“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant
this request as well, and will not
demolish the town you indicate.
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.
The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Look, I
slept with my father last night. Let us get him
drunk with wine again
tonight so you can go in and sleep with him and we can preserve our father’s line.”
And the
firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto
this day.
The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of
today.
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of
Ammon unto
this day.
The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the
Ammonites of
today.
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.
Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done
this in the
integrity of my heart and the
innocence of my hands.”
And God said unto him in a dream,
Yea, I know that thou
didst this in the
integrity of thy heart; for I also
withheld thee from
sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Then God said to
Abimelech in the dream, “
Yes, I know that you did
this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from
sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
And
Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done
this thing?
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.
Abraham replied, “I thought to myself, ‘Surely there is no fear of God in this place. They will kill me on account of my 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
shew unto me; at every place
whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
So when God had me journey from my father’s house, I said to
Sarah, ‘
This is how you can show your
loyalty to me: Wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
And
Sarah said, God hath made me to
laugh, so that all that hear will
laugh with me.
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 she said to Abraham, “
Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”
And the thing was very
grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.
Now
this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son
Ishmael.
And
Abimelech said, I
wot not who hath done
this thing: neither
didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done
this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until
today.”
And he said, For these seven
ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have
digged this well.
He replied, “You are to accept the seven
ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I
dug this well.”
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
And said, By myself have I
sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done
this thing, and hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son:
saying, “By Myself I have
sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done
this and have not
withheld your only son,
And after
this, Abraham buried
Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before
Mamre: the same is
Hebron in the land of
Canaan.
After
this, Abraham buried his wife
Sarah in the cave of the field at Machpelah near
Mamre (that is,
Hebron) in the land of
Canaan.
And the servant said unto him,
Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto
this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that
sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give
this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me from my father’s house and my native land, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’—He will send His angel before you so that you can take a wife for my son from there.
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
And if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”
And the servant put his hand under the
thigh of Abraham his master, and
sware to him concerning that matter.
So the servant placed his hand under the
thigh of his master Abraham and
swore an oath to him concerning
this matter.
And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed
this day, and
shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
“O LORD, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “please grant me success
today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
And let it come to pass, that the
damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Now may it happen that the
girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your
jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By
this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
And it came to pass, when he saw the
earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of
Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard
Rebekah’s words, “The man said
this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.
Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
And when you go to my kindred, if they refuse to give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
And I came
this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do
prosper my way which I go;
So when I came to the spring
today, I prayed: O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if only You would make my journey a success!
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Here I am, standing beside
this spring. Now if a
maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your
jar,’
Then
Laban and
Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Laban and
Bethuel answered, “
This is from the LORD; we have no choice in the matter.
And they called
Rebekah, and said unto her,
Wilt thou go with
this man? And she said, I will go.
They called
Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with
this man?” “I will go,” she replied.
For she had said unto the servant, What man is
this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a
vail, and covered herself.
and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?” “It is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her
veil and covered herself.
The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of
Heth: there was Abraham buried, and
Sarah his wife.
This was the field that Abraham had bought from the
Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife
Sarah.
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham
begat Isaac:
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to
enquire of the LORD.
But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is
this happening to me?” So
Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on
Esau’s
heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was
threescore years old when she bare them.
After
this, his brother came out
grasping Esau’s
heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
And
Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall
this birthright do to me?
“Look,” said
Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a
birthright to me?”
Sojourn in
this land, and I will be with thee, and will
bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I
sware unto Abraham thy father;
Stay in
this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and
bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will
confirm the oath that I
swore to your father Abraham.
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for
Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of
this place will kill me on account of
Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
And
Abimelech said, What is
this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have
lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought
guiltiness upon us.
“What is
this you have done to us?” asked
Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have
slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
And
Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth
this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-
sheba unto
this day.
So he called it Shibah, and to
this day the name of the city is
Beersheba.
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into
this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
Look, I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
And Jacob
awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in
this place; and I knew it not.
When Jacob
woke up, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in
this place, and I was unaware of it.”
And he was afraid, and said, How
dreadful is
this place!
this is none other but the house of God, and
this is the gate of heaven.
And he was afraid and said, “How
awesome is
this place!
This is none other than the house of God;
this is the gate of heaven!”
And Jacob
vowed a
vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in
this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and
raiment to put on,
Then Jacob made a
vow, saying, “If God will be with me and watch over me on
this journey, and if He will provide me with food to eat and clothes to wear,
And
this stone, which I have set for a
pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
And
this stone I have set up as a
pillar will be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.”
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well. And a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to
Laban, What is
this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for
Rachel? wherefore then hast thou
beguiled me?
When morning came, there was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob said to
Laban. “Wasn’t it for
Rachel that I served you? Why have you
deceived me?”
Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
Finish
this week’s
celebration, and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was
hated, he hath therefore given me
this son also: and she called his name
Simeon.
Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me
this son as well.” So she named him
Simeon.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.
And Leah said, God hath
endued me with a good
dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name
Zebulun.
“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “
This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him
Zebulun.
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou
wilt do
this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
“What can I give you?”
Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do
this one thing for me, I will keep on
shepherding and keeping your flocks.
