And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
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.
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
And Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
“My lord,” said Abraham, “if I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass your servant by.
Let a little water, I pray you, be
fetched,
and wash your feet,
and rest
yourselves under the tree:
Let a little water be brought, that you may wash your feet
and rest
yourselves under the tree.
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.
And I will bring a
bit of bread so that you may refresh
yourselves. This is why you have passed your servant’s way. After that, you may continue on your way.” “
Yes,” they replied, “you may do as you have said.”
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.
So Abraham
hurried into the tent
and said to
Sarah, “Quick! Prepare three seahs of fine flour,
knead it,
and bake some bread.”
And Abraham ran unto the
herd,
and fetcht a
calf tender
and good,
and gave it unto a young man;
and he hasted to dress it.
Meanwhile, Abraham ran to the
herd, selected a tender
and choice
calf,
and gave it to a servant, who
hurried to prepare it.
And he took butter,
and milk,
and the
calf which he had dressed,
and set it before them;
and he stood by them under the tree,
and they did eat.
Then Abraham brought curds
and milk
and the
calf that had been prepared,
and he set them before the men
and stood by them under the tree as they
ate.
And they said unto him, Where is
Sarah thy wife?
And he said, Behold, in the tent.
“Where is your wife
Sarah?” they asked. “There, in the tent,” he replied.
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.
Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year,
and your wife
Sarah will have a son!” Now
Sarah was behind him,
listening at the entrance to the tent.
Now Abraham
and Sarah were old
and well
stricken in age;
and it ceased to be with
Sarah after the manner of women.
Therefore
Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
So she
laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out
and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did
Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a
surety bear a child, which am old?
And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did
Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life,
and Sarah shall have a son.
Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—
and Sarah will have a son.”
But
Sarah was afraid, so she denied it
and said, “I did not
laugh.” “No,” replied the LORD, “but you did
laugh.”
And the men rose up from thence,
and looked toward
Sodom:
and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
When the men got up to leave, they looked out over
Sodom,
and Abraham walked along with them to see them off.
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
For I have chosen him, so that he will command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, in order that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has promised.”
And the LORD said, Because the cry of
Sodom and Gomorrah is great,
and because their sin is very
grievous;
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.
I will go down to see if their actions fully
justify the outcry that has reached Me. If not, I will find out.”
And the men turned their faces from thence,
and went toward
Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
And the two men turned away
and went toward
Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.
And Abraham drew near,
and said,
Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham
stepped forward
and said, “Will You really
sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city:
wilt thou also destroy
and not
spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
What if there are fifty righteous ones in the city? Will You really
sweep it away
and not
spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous ones who are there?
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?
Far be it from You to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
And the LORD said, If I find in
Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will
spare all the place for their sakes.
So the LORD replied, “If I find fifty righteous ones within the city of
Sodom, on their account I will
spare the whole place.”
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
Then Abraham answered, “Now that I have
ventured to speak to the Lord—though I am but dust
and ashes—
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.
suppose the fifty righteous ones lack five. Will You destroy the whole city for the lack of five?” He replied, “If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.”
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.
Once again Abraham spoke to the LORD, “Suppose forty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the forty, I will not do it.”
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.
Then Abraham said, “May the Lord not be
angry, but let me speak further. Suppose thirty are found there?” He replied, “If I find thirty there, I will not do it.”
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 Abraham said, “Now that I have
ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose twenty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the twenty, I will not destroy it.”
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.
Finally, Abraham said, “May the Lord not be
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 the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned home.
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;
Now the two angels arrived at
Sodom in the evening,
and Lot was sitting in the
gateway of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed facedown,
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 said, “My lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant; wash your feet
and spend the night. Then you can rise early
and go on your way.” “No,” they answered, “we will
spend the night in the square.”
And he pressed upon 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.
But Lot insisted so strongly that they followed him into his house. He prepared a feast for them
and baked unleavened bread,
and they
ate.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of
Sodom, compassed the house round, both old
and young, all the people from every quarter:
Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of
Sodom, both young
and old, surrounded the house.
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 Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
Lot went outside to meet them,
shutting the door behind him.
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
“Please, my brothers,” he
pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!
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.
Look, I have two daughters who have never
slept with a man. Let me bring them to you,
and you can do to them as you please. But do not do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection 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.
“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.
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
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 they struck the men at the entrance, young
and old, with blindness, so that they
wearied themselves trying to find 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.
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.
At
daybreak the angels
hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife
and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”
And while he
lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand,
and upon the hand of his wife,
and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being
merciful unto him:
and they brought him forth,
and set him without the city.
But when Lot
hesitated, the men
grabbed his hand
and the hands of his wife
and his two daughters.
And they led them safely out of the city, because of the LORD’s
compassion for them.
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.
As soon as the men had brought them out, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back,
and do not stop
anywhere on the plain!
Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!
Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight,
and thou hast
magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life;
and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me,
and I die:
Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight,
and you have shown me great kindness by
sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the
disaster will overtake me,
and I will die.
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.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.
Then the LORD rained down sulfur
and fire on
Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.
But his wife looked back from behind him,
and she became a
pillar of salt.
But Lot’s wife looked back,
and she became a
pillar of salt.
And Abraham
gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
And he looked toward
Sodom and Gomorrah,
and toward all the land of the plain,
and beheld,
and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
He looked down toward
Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the plain,
and he saw the smoke rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.
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 the which Lot dwelt.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham,
and He brought Lot out of the
catastrophe that destroyed the cities where he had lived.
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.
Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains—for he was afraid to stay in Zoar—where they lived in a cave.
And the
firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old,
and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to sleep with us, as is the custom over all the earth.
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Come, let us get our father
drunk with wine so we can sleep with him
and preserve his line.”
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.
So that night they got their father
drunk with wine,
and the
firstborn went in
and slept with her father; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
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 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.
So again that night they got their father
drunk with wine,
and the younger daughter went in
and slept with him; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
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.
And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country,
and dwelled between Kadesh
and Shur,
and sojourned in
Gerar.
Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev
and settled between Kadesh
and Shur. While he was staying in
Gerar,
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.
One night, however, God came to
Abimelech in a dream
and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
But
Abimelech had not come near her:
and he said, Lord,
wilt thou
slay also a righteous nation?
Now
Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
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.
Now therefore restore the man his 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.
Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”
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.
Early the next morning
Abimelech got up
and summoned all his servants;
and when he described to them all that had happened, the men were
terrified.
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.
Then
Abimelech called Abraham
and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I
sinned against you, that you have brought such
tremendous guilt upon me
and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
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 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.
Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became 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 Abimelech took sheep,
and oxen,
and menservants,
and womenservants,
and gave them unto Abraham,
and restored him
Sarah his wife.
So
Abimelech brought sheep
and cattle, menservants
and maidservants,
and he gave them to Abraham
and restored his wife
Sarah to him.
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.”
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 he said to
Sarah, “See, I am giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is your
vindication before all who are with you; you are completely cleared.”
So Abraham prayed unto God:
and God
healed Abimelech,
and his wife,
and his maidservants;
and they bare children.
Then Abraham prayed to God,
and God
healed Abimelech and his wife
and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—
And the LORD visited
Sarah as he had said,
and the LORD did unto
Sarah as he had spoken.
Now the LORD attended to
Sarah as He had said,
and the LORD did for
Sarah what He had promised.
For
Sarah conceived,
and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
So
Sarah conceived
and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom
Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son
Sarah bore to him.
And Abraham
circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham
circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to
laugh, so that all that hear will
laugh with me.
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.
She added, “Who would have told Abraham that
Sarah would
nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
And the child grew,
and was
weaned:
and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was
weaned.
So the child grew
and was
weaned,
and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was
weaned.
