belly shalt thou go, and dust
shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

shall return.”

crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
When thou tillest the ground, it
shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a
fugitive and a
vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a
fugitive and a
wanderer on the earth.”
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face
shall I be
hid; and I
shall be a
fugitive and a
vagabond in the earth; and it
shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me
shall slay me.

fugitive and a
wanderer on the earth, and
whoever finds me will kill me.”

toil of our hands caused by the ground that the LORD has
cursed.”

mortal; his days
shall be 120 years.”

gopher wood; rooms
shalt thou make in the ark, and
shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.

And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
A window
shalt thou make to the ark, and in a
cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark
shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories
shalt thou make it.
You are to make a roof for the ark, finish its walls a
cubit from the top, place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.

crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.

mate;

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it
shall be for a
token of a covenant between me and the earth.

rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the
rainbow appears in the clouds,
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.
I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

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 whenever the
rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the
everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.”

Cursed be
Canaan; a servant of servants
shall he be unto his brethren.

Shem! May
Canaan be the servant of
Shem.

bless them that
bless thee, and

shall all families of the earth be blessed.

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 said, Lord GOD, whereby
shall I know that I
shall inherit it?
But
Abram replied, “Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”
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.

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.

everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
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.

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 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 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 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.
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.”
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.”
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?”
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 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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”’”
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 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.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your
maidservant.
Listen to everything that
Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.
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.
Now, therefore,
swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
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.”
That in blessing I will
bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed
shall possess the gate of his enemies;
I will surely
bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the
seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our
sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us
shall withhold from thee his
sepulchre, but that thou mayest
bury thy dead.
“
Listen to us, sir. You are God’s chosen one among us.
Bury your dead in the finest of our tombs. None of us will
withhold his tomb for
burying your dead.”
That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
to sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him; it is at the end of his field. Let him sell it to me in your presence for full price, so that I may have a burial site.”
