¹ In the beginning7225 God430 created1254 the heaven8064 and the earth.776

² And the earth776 was without8414 form,8414 and void;922 and darkness2822 was on the face6440 of the deep.8415 And the Spirit7307 of God430 moved7363 on the face6440 of the waters.4325

³ And God430 said,559 Let there be light:216 and there was light.216

⁴ And God430 saw7200 the light,216 that it was good:2896 and God430 divided914 the light216 from the darkness.2822

⁵ And God430 called7121 the light216 Day,3117 and the darkness2822 he called7121 Night.3915 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the first259 day.3117

⁶ And God430 said,559 Let there be a firmament7549 in the middle8432 of the waters,4325 and let it divide914 the waters4325 from the waters.4325

⁷ And God430 made6213 the firmament,7549 and divided914 the waters4325 which834 were under8478 the firmament7549 from the waters4325 which834 were above5921 the firmament:7549 and it was so.3651

⁸ And God430 called7121 the firmament7549 Heaven.8064 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the second8145 day.3117

⁹ And God430 said,559 Let the waters4325 under8478 the heaven8064 be gathered6960 together to one259 place,4725 and let the dry3004 land appear:7200 and it was so.3651

¹⁰ And God430 called7121 the dry3004 land Earth;776 and the gathering4723 together of the waters4325 called7121 he Seas:3220 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

¹¹ And God430 said,559 Let the earth776 bring1876 forth1876 grass,1877 the herb6212 yielding2232 seed,2233 and the fruit6529 tree6086 yielding6213 fruit6529 after his kind,4327 whose834 seed2233 is in itself, on the earth:776 and it was so.3651

¹² And the earth776 brought3318 forth3318 grass,1877 and herb6212 yielding2232 seed2233 after his kind,4327 and the tree6086 yielding6213 fruit,6529 whose834 seed2233 was in itself, after his kind:4327 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

¹³ And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the third7992 day.3117

¹⁴ And God430 said,559 Let there be lights3974 in the firmament7549 of the heaven8064 to divide914 the day3117 from the night;3915 and let them be for signs,226 and for seasons,4150 and for days,3117 and years:8141

¹⁵ And let them be for lights3974 in the firmament7549 of the heaven8064 to give light216 on the earth:776 and it was so.3651

¹⁶ And God430 made6213 two8147 great1419 lights;3974 the greater1419 light3974 to rule4475 the day,3117 and the lesser6996 light3974 to rule4475 the night:3915 he made the stars3556 also.

¹⁷ And God430 set5414 them in the firmament7549 of the heaven8064 to give light216 on the earth,776

¹⁸ And to rule4910 over the day3117 and over the night,3915 and to divide914 the light216 from the darkness:2822 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

¹⁹ And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the fourth7243 day.3117

²⁰ And God430 said,559 Let the waters4325 bring8317 forth8317 abundantly8317 the moving8318 creature8318 that has life,2416 and fowl5775 that may fly5774 above5921 the earth776 in the open6440 firmament7549 of heaven.8064

²¹ And God430 created1254 great1419 whales,8577 and every3605 living2416 creature5315 that moves,7430 which834 the waters4325 brought8317 forth8317 abundantly,8317 after their kind,4327 and every3605 winged3671 fowl5775 after his kind:4327 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

²² And God430 blessed1288 them, saying,559 Be fruitful,6509 and multiply,7235 and fill4390 the waters4325 in the seas,3220 and let fowl5775 multiply7235 in the earth.776

²³ And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the fifth2549 day.3117

²⁴ And God430 said,559 Let the earth776 bring3318 forth3318 the living2416 creature5315 after his kind,4327 cattle,929 and creeping7431 thing, and beast2416 of the earth776 after his kind:4327 and it was so.3651

²⁵ And God430 made6213 the beast2416 of the earth776 after his kind,4327 and cattle929 after their kind,4327 and every3605 thing that creeps7431 on the earth127 after his kind:4327 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

²⁶ And God430 said,559 Let us make6213 man120 in our image,6754 after our likeness:1823 and let them have dominion7287 over the fish1710 of the sea,3220 and over the fowl5775 of the air,8064 and over the cattle,929 and over all3605 the earth,776 and over every3605 creeping7431 thing that creeps7430 on the earth.776

²⁷ So God430 created1254 man120 in his own image,6754 in the image6754 of God430 created1254 he him; male2145 and female5347 created1254 he them.

²⁸ And God430 blessed1288 them, and God430 said559 to them, Be fruitful,6509 and multiply,7235 and replenish4390 the earth,776 and subdue3533 it: and have dominion7287 over the fish1710 of the sea,3220 and over the fowl5775 of the air,8064 and over every3605 living2416 thing that moves7430 on the earth.776

²⁹ And God430 said,559 Behold,2009 I have given5414 you every3605 herb6212 bearing2232 seed,2233 which834 is on the face6440 of all3605 the earth,776 and every3605 tree,6086 in the which834 is the fruit6529 of a tree6086 yielding2232 seed;2233 to you it shall be for meat.402

³⁰ And to every3605 beast2416 of the earth,776 and to every3605 fowl5775 of the air,8064 and to every3605 thing that creeps7430 on the earth,776 wherein834 there is life,2416 I have given every3605 green3418 herb6212 for meat:402 and it was so.3651

³¹ And God430 saw7200 every3605 thing that he had made,6213 and, behold,2009 it was very3966 good.2896 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the sixth8345 day.3117

2

¹ Thus the heavens8064 and the earth776 were finished,3615 and all3605 the host6635 of them.

² And on the seventh7637 day3117 God430 ended3615 his work4399 which834 he had made;6213 and he rested7673 on the seventh7637 day3117 from all3605 his work4399 which834 he had made.6213

³ And God430 blessed1288 the seventh7637 day,3117 and sanctified6942 it: because3588 that in it he had rested7673 from all3605 his work4399 which834 God430 created1254 and made.6213

⁴ These428 are the generations8435 of the heavens8064 and of the earth776 when they were created,1254 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 God430 made6213 the earth776 and the heavens,8064

⁵ And every3605 plant7880 of the field7704 before2962 it was in the earth,776 and every3605 herb6212 of the field7704 before2962 it grew:6779 for the LORD3068 God430 had not caused it to rain4305 on the earth,776 and there was not a man120 to till5647 the ground.127

⁶ But there went5927 up a mist108 from the earth,776 and watered8248 the whole854 3605 face6440 of the ground.127

⁷ And the LORD3068 God430 formed3335 man120 of the dust6083 of the ground,127 and breathed5301 into his nostrils639 the breath5397 of life;2416 and man120 became1961 a living2416 soul.5315

⁸ And the LORD3068 God430 planted5193 a garden1588 eastward6924 in Eden;5731 and there8033 he put7760 the man120 whom834 he had formed.3335

⁹ And out of the ground127 made the LORD3068 God430 to grow6779 every3605 tree6086 that is pleasant2530 to the sight,4758 and good2896 for food;3978 the tree6086 of life2416 also in the middle8432 of the garden,1588 and the tree6086 of knowledge1847 of good2896 and evil.7451

¹⁰ And a river5104 went3318 out of Eden5731 to water8248 the garden;1588 and from there8033 it was parted,6504 and became1961 into four702 heads.7218

¹¹ The name8034 of the first259 is Pison:6376 that is it which compasses5437 the whole854 3605 land776 of Havilah,2341 where834 8033 there is gold;2091

¹² And the gold2091 of that land776 is good:2896 there8033 is bdellium916 and the onyx7718 stone.68

¹³ And the name8034 of the second8145 river5104 is Gihon:1521 the same1931 is it that compasses5437 the whole854 3605 land776 of Ethiopia.3568

¹⁴ And the name8034 of the third7992 river5104 is Hiddekel:2313 that is it which goes1980 toward the east6926 of Assyria.804 And the fourth7243 river5104 is Euphrates.6578

¹⁵ And the LORD3068 God430 took3947 the man,120 and put3240 him into the garden1588 of Eden5731 to dress5647 it and to keep8104 it.

¹⁶ And the LORD3068 God430 commanded6680 the man,120 saying,559 Of every3605 tree6086 of the garden1588 you may freely eat:398

¹⁷ But of the tree6086 of the knowledge1847 of good2896 and evil,7451 you shall not eat398 of it: for in the day3117 that you eat398 thereof you shall surely die.4191

¹⁸ And the LORD3068 God430 said,559 It is not good2896 that the man120 should be alone;905 I will make6213 him an help5828 meet5048 for him.

¹⁹ And out of the ground127 the LORD3068 God430 formed3335 every beast2416 of the field,7704 and every3605 fowl5775 of the air;8064 and brought935 them to Adam120 to see7200 what4100 he would call7121 them: and whatever3605 834 Adam120 called7121 every3605 living2416 creature,5315 that was the name8034 thereof.

²⁰ And Adam120 gave7121 names8034 to all3605 cattle,929 and to the fowl5775 of the air,8064 and to every3605 beast2416 of the field;7704 but for Adam120 there was not found4672 an help5828 meet5828 for him.

²¹ And the LORD3068 God430 caused a deep8639 sleep3462 to fall5307 on Adam,121 and he slept:3462 and he took3947 one259 of his ribs,6763 and closed5462 up the flesh1320 instead8478 thereof;

²² And the rib,6763 which834 the LORD3068 God430 had taken3947 from man,120 made1129 he a woman,802 and brought935 her to the man.120

²³ And Adam120 said,559 This2063 is now6471 bone6106 of my bones,6106 and flesh1320 of my flesh:1320 she shall be called7121 Woman,802 because3588 she was taken3947 out of Man.376

²⁴ Therefore5921 3651 shall a man376 leave5800 his father1 and his mother,517 and shall join1692 to his wife:802 and they shall be one259 flesh.1320

²⁵ And they were both8147 naked,6174 the man120 and his wife,802 and were not ashamed.954

3

¹ Now the serpent5175 was more subtle6175 than any3605 beast2416 of the field7704 which834 the LORD3068 God430 had made.6213 And he said559 to the woman,802 Yes,637 3588 has God430 said,559 You shall not eat398 of every3605 tree6086 of the garden?1588

² And the woman802 said559 to the serpent,5175 We may eat398 of the fruit6529 of the trees6086 of the garden:1588

³ But of the fruit6529 of the tree6086 which834 is in the middle8432 of the garden,1588 God430 has said,559 You shall not eat398 of it, neither3808 shall you touch5060 it, lest6435 you die.4191

⁴ And the serpent5175 said559 to the woman,802 You shall not surely die:4191

⁵ For God430 does know3045 that in the day3117 you eat398 thereof, then your eyes5869 shall be opened,6491 and you shall be as gods,430 knowing3045 good2896 and evil.7451

⁶ And when the woman802 saw7200 that the tree6086 was good2896 for food,3978 and that it was pleasant8378 to the eyes,5869 and a tree6086 to be desired2530 to make one wise,7919 she took3947 of the fruit6529 thereof, and did eat,398 and gave5414 also1571 to her husband376 with her; and he did eat.398

⁷ And the eyes5869 of them both8147 were opened,6491 and they knew3045 that they were naked;5903 and they sewed8609 fig8384 leaves5929 together, and made6213 themselves1992 aprons.2290

⁸ And they heard8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 God430 walking1980 in the garden1588 in the cool7307 of the day:3117 and Adam120 and his wife802 hid2244 themselves from the presence6440 of the LORD3068 God430 among8432 the trees6086 of the garden.1588

⁹ And the LORD3068 God430 called7121 to Adam,120 and said559 to him, Where335 are you?

¹⁰ And he said,559 I heard8085 your voice6963 in the garden,1588 and I was afraid,3372 because3588 I was naked;5903 and I hid2244 myself.

¹¹ And he said,559 Who4310 told5046 you that you were naked?5903 Have you eaten398 of the tree,6086 whereof834 I commanded6680 you that you should not eat?398

¹² And the man120 said,559 The woman802 whom834 you gave5414 to be with me, she gave5414 me of the tree,6086 and I did eat.398

¹³ And the LORD3068 God430 said559 to the woman,802 What4100 is this2063 that you have done?6213 And the woman802 said,559 The serpent5175 beguiled5377 me, and I did eat.398

¹⁴ And the LORD3068 God430 said559 to the serpent,5175 Because3588 you have done6213 this,2063 you are cursed779 above all3605 cattle,929 and above every3605 beast2416 of the field;7704 on your belly1512 shall you go,3212 and dust6083 shall you eat398 all3605 the days3117 of your life:2416

¹⁵ And I will put7896 enmity342 between996 you and the woman,802 and between996 your seed2233 and her seed;2233 it shall bruise7779 your head,7218 and you shall bruise7779 his heel.6119

¹⁶ To the woman802 he said,559 I will greatly multiply7235 your sorrow6093 and your conception;2032 in sorrow6089 you shall bring3205 forth3205 children;1121 and your desire8669 shall be to your husband,376 and he shall rule4910 over you.

¹⁷ And to Adam121 he said,559 Because3588 you have listened8085 to the voice6963 of your wife,802 and have eaten398 of the tree,6086 of which834 I commanded6680 you, saying,559 You shall not eat398 of it: cursed779 is the ground127 for your sake;5668 in sorrow6093 shall you eat398 of it all3605 the days3117 of your life;2416

¹⁸ Thorns6975 also and thistles1863 shall it bring6779 forth6779 to you; and you shall eat398 the herb6212 of the field;7704

¹⁹ In the sweat2188 of your face639 shall you eat398 bread,3899 till5704 you return7725 to the ground;127 for out of it were you taken:3947 for dust6083 you are, and to dust6083 shall you return.7725

²⁰ And Adam120 called7121 his wife's802 name8034 Eve;2332 because3588 she was the mother517 of all3605 living.2416

²¹ To Adam120 also and to his wife802 did the LORD3068 God430 make6213 coats3801 of skins,5785 and clothed3847 them.

²² And the LORD3068 God430 said,559 Behold,2005 the man120 is become1961 as one259 of us, to know3045 good2896 and evil:7451 and now,6258 lest6435 he put7971 forth7971 his hand,3027 and take3947 also1571 of the tree6086 of life,2416 and eat,398 and live2425 for ever:5769

²³ Therefore the LORD3068 God430 sent7971 him forth from the garden1588 of Eden,5731 to till5647 the ground127 from from where834 8033 he was taken.3947

²⁴ So he drove1644 out the man;120 and he placed7931 at the east6924 of the garden1588 of Eden5731 Cherubim,3742 and a flaming3858 sword2719 which turned2015 every way, to keep8104 the way of the tree6086 of life.2416

4

¹ And Adam120 knew3045 Eve2332 his wife;802 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 Cain,7014 and said,559 I have gotten7069 a man376 from the LORD.3068

² And she again3254 bore3205 his brother251 Abel.1893 And Abel1893 was a keeper7462 of sheep,6629 but Cain7014 was a tiller5647 of the ground.127

³ And in process7093 of time3117 it came1961 to pass, that Cain7014 brought935 of the fruit6529 of the ground127 an offering4503 to the LORD.3068

⁴ And Abel,1893 he also1571 brought935 of the firstborn1062 of his flock6629 and of the fat2459 thereof. And the LORD3068 had respect8159 to Abel1893 and to his offering:4503

⁵ But to Cain7014 and to his offering4503 he had not respect.8159 And Cain7014 was very3966 wroth,2734 and his countenance6440 fell.5307

⁶ And the LORD3068 said559 to Cain,7014 Why4100 are you wroth?2734 and why4100 is your countenance6440 fallen?5307

⁷ If518 you do well,3190 shall you not be accepted?7613 and if518 you do not well,3190 sin2403 lies7257 at the door.6607 And to you shall be his desire,8669 and you shall rule4910 over him.

⁸ And Cain7014 talked559 with Abel1893 his brother:251 and it came1961 to pass, when they were in the field,7704 that Cain7014 rose6965 up against413 Abel1893 his brother,251 and slew2026 him.

⁹ And the LORD3068 said559 to Cain,7014 Where335 is Abel1893 your brother?251 And he said,559 I know3045 not: Am I my brother's251 keeper?8104

¹⁰ And he said,559 What4100 have you done?6213 the voice6963 of your brother's251 blood1818 cries6817 to me from the ground.127

¹¹ And now6258 are you cursed779 from the earth,127 which834 has opened6475 her mouth6310 to receive3947 your brother's251 blood1818 from your hand;3027

¹² When3588 you till5647 the ground,127 it shall not from now on3254 yield5414 to you her strength;3581 a fugitive5128 and a vagabond5110 shall you be in the earth.776

¹³ And Cain7014 said559 to the LORD,3068 My punishment5771 is greater1419 than I can bear.5375

¹⁴ Behold,2005 you have driven1644 me out this day3117 from the face6440 of the earth;127 and from your face6440 shall I be hid;5641 and I shall be a fugitive5128 and a vagabond5110 in the earth;776 and it shall come1961 to pass, that every3605 one that finds4672 me shall slay2026 me.

¹⁵ And the LORD3068 said559 to him, Therefore3651 whoever3605 slays2026 Cain,7014 vengeance5358 shall be taken on him sevenfold.7659 And the LORD3068 set7760 a mark226 on Cain,7014 lest1115 any3605 finding4672 him should kill5221 him.

¹⁶ And Cain7014 went3318 out from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 and dwelled3427 in the land776 of Nod,5113 on the east6926 of Eden.5731

¹⁷ And Cain7014 knew3045 his wife;802 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 Enoch:2585 and he built1129 a city,5892 and called7121 the name8034 of the city,5892 after the name8034 of his son,1121 Enoch.2585

¹⁸ And to Enoch2585 was born3205 Irad:5897 and Irad5897 begat3205 Mehujael:4232 and Mehujael4232 begat3205 Methusael:4967 and Methusael4967 begat3205 Lamech.3929

¹⁹ And Lamech3929 took3947 to him two8147 wives:802 the name8034 of the one259 was Adah,5711 and the name8034 of the other8145 Zillah.6741

²⁰ And Adah5711 bore3205 Jabal:2989 he was the father1 of such as dwell3427 in tents,168 and of such as have cattle.4735

²¹ And his brother's251 name8034 was Jubal:3106 he was the father1 of all3605 such as handle8610 the harp3658 and organ.5748

²² And Zillah,6741 she also1571 bore3205 Tubalcain,8423 an instructor3913 of every3605 artificer2794 in brass5178 and iron:1270 and the sister269 of Tubalcain8423 was Naamah.5279

²³ And Lamech3929 said559 to his wives,802 Adah5711 and Zillah,6741 Hear8085 my voice;6963 you wives802 of Lamech,3929 listen238 to my speech:565 for I have slain2026 a man376 to my wounding,6482 and a young3206 man to my hurt.2250

²⁴ If3588 Cain7014 shall be avenged5358 sevenfold,7659 truly Lamech3929 seventy7657 and sevenfold.7659

²⁵ And Adam120 knew3045 his wife802 again;5750 and she bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Seth:8352 For God,430 said she, has appointed7896 me another312 seed2233 instead8478 of Abel,1893 whom3588 Cain7014 slew.2026

¹ And it came1961 to pass, when3588 men120 began2490 to multiply7231 on5921 the face6440 of the earth,127 and daughters1323 were born3205 to them,

² That the sons1121 of God430 saw7200 the daughters1323 of men120 that they were fair;2896 and they took3947 them wives802 of all3605 which834 they chose.977

³ And the LORD3068 said,559 My spirit7307 shall not always5769 strive1777 with man,120 for that he also7683 is flesh:1320 yet his days3117 shall be an hundred3967 and twenty6242 years.8141

⁴ There were giants5303 in the earth776 in those1992 days;3117 and also1571 after310 that, when834 the sons1121 of God430 came935 in to the daughters1323 of men,120 and they bore3205 children to them, the same1992 became mighty1368 men120 which834 were of old,5769 men582 of renown.8034

⁵ And God3068 saw7200 that the wickedness7451 of man120 was great7227 in the earth,776 and that every3605 imagination3336 of the thoughts4284 of his heart3820 was only7535 evil7451 continually.3605 3117

⁶ And it repented5162 the LORD3068 that he had made6213 man120 on5921 the earth,776 and it grieved6087 him at413 his heart.3820

⁷ And the LORD3068 said,559 I will destroy4229 man120 whom834 I have created1254 from the face6440 of the earth;127 both man,120 and beast,929 and the creeping7431 thing, and the fowls5775 of the air;8064 for it repents5162 me that I have made6213 them.

⁸ But Noah5146 found4672 grace2580 in the eyes5869 of the LORD.3068

⁹ These428 are the generations8435 of Noah:5146 Noah5146 was a just6662 man376 and perfect8549 in his generations,8435 and Noah5146 walked1980 with God.430

¹⁰ And Noah5146 begat3205 three7969 sons,1121 Shem,8035 Ham,2526 and Japheth.3315

¹¹ The earth776 also was corrupt7843 before6440 God,430 and the earth776 was filled4390 with violence.2555

¹² And God430 looked7200 on the earth,776 and, behold,2009 it was corrupt;7843 for all3605 flesh1320 had corrupted7843 his way on the earth.776

¹³ And God430 said559 to Noah,5146 The end7093 of all3605 flesh1320 is come935 before6440 me; for the earth776 is filled4390 with violence2555 through6440 them; and, behold,2005 I will destroy7843 them with the earth.776

¹⁴ Make6213 you an ark8392 of gopher1613 wood;6086 rooms7064 shall you make6213 in the ark,8392 and shall pitch3722 it within1004 and without2351 with pitch.3724

¹⁵ And this2088 is the fashion which834 you shall make6213 it of: The length753 of the ark8392 shall be three7969 hundred3967 cubits,520 the breadth7341 of it fifty2572 cubits,520 and the height6967 of it thirty7970 cubits.520

¹⁶ A window6672 shall you make6213 to the ark,8392 and in a cubit520 shall you finish3615 it above;4605 and the door6607 of the ark8392 shall you set7760 in the side6654 thereof; with lower,8482 second,8145 and third7992 stories shall you make6213 it.

¹⁷ And, behold,2005 I, even I, do bring935 a flood3999 of waters4325 on the earth,776 to destroy7843 all3605 flesh,1320 wherein834 is the breath7307 of life,2416 from under8478 heaven;8064 and every3605 thing that is in the earth776 shall die.1478

¹⁸ But with you will I establish6965 my covenant;1285 and you shall come935 into413 the ark,8392 you, and your sons,1121 and your wife,802 and your sons'1121wives802 with you.

¹⁹ And of every3605 living2416 thing of all3605 flesh,1320 two8147 of every3605 sort shall you bring935 into413 the ark,8392 to keep8104 them alive2421 with you; they shall be male2145 and female.5347

²⁰ Of fowls5775 after their kind,4327 and of cattle929 after their kind,4327 of every3605 creeping7431 thing of the earth127 after his kind,4327 two8147 of every3605 sort shall come935 to you, to keep8104 them alive.2421

²¹ And take3947 you to you of all3605 food3978 that is eaten,398 and you shall gather622 it to you; and it shall be for food402 for you, and for them.

²² Thus did6213 Noah;5146 according to all3605 that God430 commanded6680 him, so3651 did6213 he.

7

¹ And the LORD3068 said559 to Noah,5146 Come935 you and all3605 your house1004 into413 the ark;8392 for you have I seen7200 righteous6662 before6440 me in this2088 generation.1755

² Of every3605 clean2889 beast929 you shall take3947 to you by sevens,7651 the male376 and his female:802 and of beasts929 that are not clean2889 by two,8147 the male376 and his female.802

³ Of fowls5775 also1571 of the air8064 by sevens,7651 the male2145 and the female;5347 to keep seed2233 alive2421 on the face6440 of all3605 the earth.776

⁴ For yet5750 seven7651 days,3117 and I will cause it to rain4305 on the earth776 forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights;3915 and every3605 living substance3351 that I have made6213 will I destroy4229 from off5921 the face6440 of the earth.127

⁵ And Noah5146 did6213 according to all3605 that the LORD3068 commanded6680 him.

⁶ And Noah5146 was six8337 hundred3967 years8141 old1121 when the flood3999 of waters4325 was on the earth.776

⁷ And Noah5146 went935 in, and his sons,1121 and his wife,802 and his sons' 1121wives802 with him, into413 the ark,8392 because6440 of the waters4325 of the flood.3999

⁸ Of clean2889 beasts,929 and of beasts929 that are not clean,2889 and of fowls,5775 and of every3605 thing that creeps7430 on the earth,127

⁹ There went935 in two8147 and two8147 to Noah5146 into413 the ark,8392 the male2145 and the female,5347 as God430 had commanded6680 Noah.5146

¹⁰ And it came1961 to pass after seven7651 days,3117 that the waters4325 of the flood3999 were on the earth.776

¹¹ In the six8337 hundredth3967 year8141 of Noah's5146 life,2416 in the second8145 month,2320 the seventeenth7651 6240 day3117 of the month,2320 the same2088 day3117 were all3605 the fountains4599 of the great7227 deep8415 broken1234 up, and the windows699 of heaven8064 were opened.6605

¹² And the rain1653 was on the earth776 forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights.3915

¹³ In the selfsame2088 6106 day3117 entered935 Noah,5146 and Shem,8035 and Ham,2526 and Japheth,3315 the sons1121 of Noah,5146 and Noah's5146 wife,802 and the three7969 wives802 of his sons1121 with them, into413 the ark;8392

¹⁴ They, and every3605 beast2416 after his kind,4327 and all3605 the cattle929 after their kind,4327 and every3605 creeping7431 thing that creeps7430 on the earth776 after his kind,4327 and every3605 fowl5775 after his kind,4327 every3605 bird6833 of every3605 sort.3671

¹⁵ And they went935 in to Noah5146 into413 the ark,8392 two8147 and two8147 of all3605 flesh,1320 wherein834 is the breath7307 of life.2416

¹⁶ And they that went935 in, went935 in male2145 and female5347 of all3605 flesh,1320 as God430 had commanded6680 him: and the LORD3068 shut5462 him in.

¹⁷ And the flood3999 was forty705 days3117 on the earth;776 and the waters4325 increased,7235 and bore5375 up the ark,8392 and it was lift7311 up above5921 the earth.776

¹⁸ And the waters4325 prevailed,1396 and were increased7235 greatly3966 on the earth;776 and the ark8392 went3212 on the face6440 of the waters.4325

¹⁹ And the waters4325 prevailed1396 exceedingly3966 on the earth;776 and all3605 the high1364 hills,2022 that were under8478 the whole3605 heaven,8064 were covered.3680

²⁰ Fifteen6240 cubits520 upward4605 did the waters4325 prevail;1396 and the mountains2022 were covered.3680

²¹ And all3605 flesh1320 died1478 that moved7430 on the earth,776 both of fowl,5775 and of cattle,929 and of beast,2416 and of every3605 creeping8318 thing that creeps8317 on the earth,776 and every3605 man:120

²² All3605 in whose834 nostrils639 was the breath5397 of life,2416 of all3605 that was in the dry2724 land, died.4191

²³ And every3605 living substance3351 was destroyed4229 which834 was on the face6440 of the ground,127 both man,120 and cattle,929 and the creeping7431 things, and the fowl5775 of the heaven;8064 and they were destroyed4229 from the earth:776 and Noah5146 only389 remained7604 alive, and they that were with him in the ark.8392

²⁴ And the waters4325 prevailed1396 on the earth776 an hundred3967 and fifty2572 days.3117

8

¹ And God430 remembered2142 Noah,5146 and every3605 living2416 thing, and all3605 the cattle929 that was with him in the ark:8392 and God430 made a wind7307 to pass5674 over5921 the earth,776 and the waters4325 assuaged;7918

² The fountains4599 also of the deep8415 and the windows699 of heaven8064 were stopped,5534 and the rain1653 from heaven8064 was restrained;3607

³ And the waters4325 returned7725 from off5921 the earth776 continually:1980 7725 and after the end7097 of the hundred3967 and fifty2572 days3117 the waters4325 were abated.2637

⁴ And the ark8392 rested5117 in the seventh7637 month,2320 on5921 the seventeenth7651 6240 day3117 of the month,2320 on the mountains2022 of Ararat.780

⁵ And the waters4325 decreased2637 continually1980 until5704 the tenth6224 month:2320 in the tenth6224 month, on5921 the first259 day of the month,2320 were the tops7218 of the mountains2022 seen.7200

⁶ And it came1961 to pass at the end7093 of forty705 days,3117 that Noah5146 opened6605 the window2474 of the ark8392 which834 he had made:6213

⁷ And he sent7971 forth a raven,6158 which went3318 forth3318 to and fro,7725 until5704 the waters4325 were dried3001 up from off5921 the earth.776

⁸ Also he sent7971 forth a dove3123 from him, to see7200 if the waters4325 were abated7043 from off5921 the face6440 of the ground;127

⁹ But the dove3123 found4672 no3808 rest4494 for the sole3709 of her foot,7272 and she returned7725 to him into413 the ark,8392 for the waters4325 were on5921 the face6440 of the whole3605 earth:776 then he put7971 forth7971 his hand,3027 and took3947 her, and pulled935 her in to him into413 the ark.8392

¹⁰ And he stayed2342 yet other312 seven7651 days;3117 and again3254 he sent7971 forth the dove3123 out of the ark;8392

¹¹ And the dove3123 came935 in to him in the evening;6153 and, see,2009 in her mouth6310 was an olive2132 leaf5929 plucked2965 off: so Noah5146 knew3045 that the waters4325 were abated7043 from off5921 the earth.776

¹² And he stayed3176 yet other312 seven7651 days;3117 and sent7971 forth the dove;3123 which returned7725 not again3254 to him any5750 more.5750

¹³ And it came1961 to pass in the six8337 hundredth3967 and first259 year,8141 in the first259 month, the first259 day of the month,2320 the waters4325 were dried2717 up from off5921 the earth:776 and Noah5146 removed5493 the covering4372 of the ark,8392 and looked,7200 and, behold,2009 the face6440 of the ground127 was dry.2720

¹⁴ And in the second8145 month,2320 on the seven7651 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the month,2320 was the earth776 dried.3001

¹⁵ And God430 spoke1696 to Noah,5146 saying,559

¹⁶ Go3318 forth3318 of the ark,8392 you, and your wife,802 and your sons,1121 and your sons' 1121wives802 with you.

¹⁷ Bring3318 forth3318 with you every3605 living2416 thing that is with you, of all3605 flesh,1320 both of fowl,5775 and of cattle,929 and of every3605 creeping7431 thing that creeps7430 on the earth;776 that they may breed8317 abundantly8317 in the earth,776 and be fruitful,6509 and multiply7235 on the earth.776

¹⁸ And Noah5146 went3318 forth,3318 and his sons,1121 and his wife,802 and his sons' 1121wives802 with him:

¹⁹ Every3605 beast,2416 every3605 creeping7431 thing, and every3605 fowl,5775 and whatever3605 creeps7430 on the earth,776 after their kinds,4940 went3318 forth3318 out of the ark.8392

²⁰ And Noah5146 built1129 an altar4196 to the LORD;3068 and took3947 of every3605 clean2889 beast,929 and of every3605 clean2889 fowl,5775 and offered5927 burnt5930 offerings on the altar.4196

²¹ And the LORD3068 smelled7306 a sweet5207 smell;7381 and the LORD3068 said559 in his heart,3820 I will not again3254 curse7043 the ground127 any5750 more5750 for man's120 sake;5668 for the imagination3336 of man's120 heart3820 is evil7451 from his youth;5271 neither3808 will I again3254 smite5221 any5750 more5750 every3605 thing living,2416 as I have done.6213

²² While5750 the earth776 remains,3117 seedtime2233 and harvest,7105 and cold7120 and heat,2527 and summer7019 and winter,2779 and day3117 and night3915 shall not cease.7673

9

¹ And God430 blessed1288 Noah5146 and his sons,1121 and said559 to them, Be fruitful,6509 and multiply,7235 and replenish4390 the earth.776

² And the fear4172 of you and the dread2844 of you shall be on every3605 beast2416 of the earth,776 and on every3605 fowl5775 of the air,8064 on all3605 that moves7430 on the earth,127 and on all3605 the fishes1709 of the sea;3220 into your hand3027 are they delivered.5414

³ Every3605 moving7430 thing that lives2416 shall be meat402 for you; even as the green3418 herb6212 have I given5414 you all3605 things.

⁴ But flesh1320 with the life5315 thereof, which is the blood1818 thereof, shall you not eat.398

⁵ And surely389 your blood1818 of your lives5315 will I require;1875 at the hand3027 of every3605 beast2416 will I require1875 it, and at the hand3027 of man;120 at the hand3027 of every man's120 brother251 will I require1875 the life5315 of man.120

⁶ Whoever sheds8210 man's120 blood,1818 by man120 shall his blood1818 be shed:8210 for in the image6754 of God430 made6213 he man.120

⁷ And you, be you fruitful,6509 and multiply;7235 bring8317 forth8317 abundantly8317 in the earth,776 and multiply7235 therein.

⁸ And God430 spoke559 to Noah,5146 and to his sons1121 with him, saying,559

⁹ And I, behold,2005 I establish6965 my covenant1285 with you, and with your seed2233 after310 you;

¹⁰ And with every3605 living2416 creature5315 that is with you, of the fowl,5775 of the cattle,929 and of every3605 beast2416 of the earth776 with you; from all3605 that go3318 out of the ark,8392 to every3605 beast2416 of the earth.776

¹¹ And I will establish6965 my covenant1285 with you, neither3808 shall all3605 flesh1320 be cut3772 off any5750 more5750 by the waters4325 of a flood;3999 neither3808 shall there any5750 more5750 be a flood3999 to destroy7843 the earth.776

¹² And God430 said,559 This2063 is the token226 of the covenant1285 which834 I make5414 between996 me and you and every3605 living2416 creature5315 that is with you, for perpetual5769 generations:1755

¹³ I do set5414 my bow7198 in the cloud,6051 and it shall be for a token226 of a covenant1285 between996 me and the earth.776

¹⁴ And it shall come1961 to pass, when I bring6049 a cloud6051 over5921 the earth,776 that the bow7198 shall be seen7200 in the cloud:6051

¹⁵ And I will remember2142 my covenant,1285 which834 is between996 me and you and every3605 living2416 creature5315 of all3605 flesh;1320 and the waters4325 shall no3808 more5750 become1961 a flood3999 to destroy7843 all3605 flesh.1320

¹⁶ And the bow7198 shall be in the cloud;6051 and I will look7200 on it, that I may remember2142 the everlasting5769 covenant1285 between996 God430 and every3605 living2416 creature5315 of all3605 flesh1320 that is on the earth.776

¹⁷ And God430 said559 to Noah,5146 This is the token226 of the covenant,1285 which834 I have established6965 between996 me and all3605 flesh1320 that is on the earth.776

¹⁸ And the sons1121 of Noah,5146 that went3318 forth3318 of the ark,8392 were Shem,8035 and Ham,2526 and Japheth:3315 and Ham2526 is the father1 of Canaan.3667

¹⁹ These428 are the three7969 sons1121 of Noah:5146 and of them was the whole3605 earth776 covered.5310

²⁰ And Noah5146 began2490 to be an farmer,376 127 and he planted5193 a vineyard:3754

²¹ And he drank8354 of the wine,3196 and was drunken;7943 and he was uncovered1540 within8432 his tent.168

²² And Ham,2526 the father1 of Canaan,3667 saw7200 the nakedness6172 of his father,1 and told5046 his two8147 brothers251 without.2351

²³ And Shem8035 and Japheth3315 took3947 a garment,8071 and laid7760 it on both8147 their shoulders,7926 and went3212 backward,322 and covered3680 the nakedness6172 of their father;1 and their faces6440 were backward,322 and they saw7200 not their father's1 nakedness.6172

²⁴ And Noah5146 awoke3364 from his wine,3196 and knew3045 what853 834 his younger6996 son1121 had done6213 to him.

²⁵ And he said,559 Cursed779 be Canaan;3667 a servant5650 of servants5650 shall he be to his brothers.251

²⁶ And he said,559 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God430 of Shem;8035 and Canaan3667 shall be his servant.5650

²⁷ God430 shall enlarge6601 Japheth,3315 and he shall dwell7931 in the tents168 of Shem;8035 and Canaan3667 shall be his servant.5650

²⁸ And Noah5146 lived2421 after310 the flood3999 three7969 hundred3967 and fifty2572 years.8141

²⁹ And all3605 the days3117 of Noah5146 were nine8672 hundred3967 and fifty2572 years:8141 and he died.4191

10

¹ Now these428 are the generations8435 of the sons1121 of Noah,5146 Shem,8035 Ham,2526 and Japheth:3315 and to them were sons1121 born3205 after310 the flood.3999

² The sons1121 of Japheth;3315 Gomer,1586 and Magog,4031 and Madai,4074 and Javan,3120 and Tubal,8422 and Meshech,4902 and Tiras.8493

³ And the sons1121 of Gomer;1586 Ashkenaz,813 and Riphath,7384 and Togarmah.8425

⁴ And the sons1121 of Javan;3120 Elishah,473 and Tarshish,8659 Kittim,3794 and Dodanim.1721

⁵ By these428 were the isles339 of the Gentiles1471 divided6504 in their lands;776 every376 one376 after his tongue,3956 after their families,4940 in their nations.1471

⁶ And the sons1121 of Ham;2526 Cush,3568 and Mizraim,4714 and Phut,6316 and Canaan.3667

⁷ And the sons1121 of Cush;3568 Seba,5434 and Havilah,2341 and Sabtah,5454 and Raamah,7484 and Sabtechah:5455 and the sons1121 of Raamah;7484 Sheba,7614 and Dedan.1719

⁸ And Cush3568 begat3205 Nimrod:5248 he began2490 to be a mighty1368 one in the earth.776

⁹ He was a mighty1368 hunter6718 before6440 the LORD:3068 why5921 3651 it is said,559 Even as Nimrod5248 the mighty1368 hunter6718 before6440 the LORD.3068

¹⁰ And the beginning7225 of his kingdom4467 was Babel,894 and Erech,751 and Accad,390 and Calneh,3641 in the land776 of Shinar.8152

¹¹ Out of that land776 went3318 forth3318 Asshur,804 and built1129 Nineveh,5210 and the city5892 Rehoboth,7344 and Calah,3625

¹² And Resen7449 between996 Nineveh5210 and Calah:3625 the same1931 is a great1419 city.5892

¹³ And Mizraim4714 begat3205 Ludim,3866 and Anamim,6047 and Lehabim,3853 and Naphtuhim,5320

¹⁴ And Pathrusim,6625 and Casluhim,3695 (out of whom834 came3318 Philistim,6430) and Caphtorim.3732

¹⁵ And Canaan3667 begat3205 Sidon6721 his first born,1060 and Heth,2845

¹⁶ And the Jebusite,2983 and the Amorite,567 and the Girgasite,1622

¹⁷ And the Hivite,2340 and the Arkite,6208 and the Sinite,5513

¹⁸ And the Arvadite,721 and the Zemarite,6786 and the Hamathite:2577 and afterward310 were the families4940 of the Canaanites3669 spread6327 abroad.5310

¹⁹ And the border1366 of the Canaanites3669 was from Sidon,6721 as you come935 to Gerar,1642 to Gaza;5804 as you go,935 to Sodom,5467 and Gomorrah,6017 and Admah,126 and Zeboim,6636 even to Lasha.3962

²⁰ These428 are the sons1121 of Ham,2526 after their families,4940 after their tongues,3956 in their countries,776 and in their nations.1471

²¹ To Shem8035 also,1571 the father1 of all3605 the children1121 of Eber,5677 the brother251 of Japheth3315 the elder,1419 even1571 to him were children born.3205

²² The children1121 of Shem;8035 Elam,5867 and Asshur,804 and Arphaxad,775 and Lud,3865 and Aram.758

²³ And the children1121 of Aram;758 Uz,5780 and Hul,2343 and Gether,1666 and Mash.4851

²⁴ And Arphaxad775 begat3205 Salah;7974 and Salah7974 begat3205 Eber.5677

²⁵ And to Eber5677 were born3205 two8147 sons:1121 the name8034 of one259 was Peleg;6389 for in his days3117 was the earth776 divided;6385 and his brother's251 name8034 was Joktan.3355

²⁶ And Joktan3355 begat3205 Almodad,486 and Sheleph,8026 and Hazarmaveth,2700 and Jerah,3392

²⁷ And Hadoram,1913 and Uzal,187 and Diklah,1853

²⁸ And Obal,5745 and Abimael,39 and Sheba,7614

²⁹ And Ophir,211 and Havilah,2341 and Jobab:3103 all3605 these428 were the sons1121 of Joktan.3355

³⁰ And their dwelling4186 was from Mesha,4331 as you go935 to Sephar5611 a mount2022 of the east.6924

³¹ These428 are the sons1121 of Shem,8035 after their families,4940 after their tongues,3956 in their lands,776 after their nations.1471

³² These428 are the families4940 of the sons1121 of Noah,5146 after their generations,8435 in their nations:1471 and by these428 were the nations1471 divided6504 in the earth776 after310 the flood.3999

11

¹ And the whole3605 earth776 was of one259 language,8193 and of one259 speech.1697

² And it came1961 to pass, as they journeyed5265 from the east,6924 that they found4672 a plain1237 in the land776 of Shinar;8152 and they dwelled3427 there.8033

³ And they said559 one376 to another,7453 Go3051 to, let us make brick,3835 and burn8313 them thoroughly. And they had1961 brick3843 for stone,68 and slime2564 had1961 they for mortar.2563

⁴ And they said,559 Go3051 to, let us build1129 us a city5892 and a tower,4026 whose top7218 may reach to heaven;8064 and let us make6213 us a name,8034 lest6435 we be scattered6327 abroad6527 on the face6440 of the whole3605 earth.776

⁵ And the LORD3068 came3381 down3381 to see7200 the city5892 and the tower,4026 which834 the children1121 of men120 built.1129

⁶ And the LORD3068 said,559 Behold,2005 the people5971 is one,259 and they have all3605 one259 language;8193 and this2088 they begin2490 to do:6213 and now6258 nothing3808 3605 will be restrained1219 from them, which3605 834 they have imagined2161 to do.6213

⁷ Go3051 to, let us go3381 down,3381 and there8033 confound1101 their language,8193 that they may not understand8085 one376 another's7453 speech.8193

⁸ So the LORD3068 scattered6327 them abroad6527 from there8033 on the face6440 of all3605 the earth:776 and they left2308 off to build1129 the city.5892

⁹ Therefore5921 3651 is the name8034 of it called7121 Babel;894 because3588 the LORD3068 did there8033 confound1101 the language8193 of all3605 the earth:776 and from there8033 did the LORD3068 scatter6327 them abroad6527 on the face6440 of all3605 the earth.776

¹⁰ These428 are the generations8435 of Shem:8035 Shem8035 was an hundred3967 years8141 old,1121 and begat3205 Arphaxad775 two years8141 after310 the flood:3999

¹¹ And Shem8035 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Arphaxad775 five2568 hundred3967 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

¹² And Arphaxad775 lived2425 five2568 and thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Salah:7974

¹³ And Arphaxad775 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Salah7974 four702 hundred3967 and three7969 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

¹⁴ And Salah7974 lived2425 thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Eber:5677

¹⁵ And Salah7974 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Eber5677 four702 hundred3967 and three7969 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

¹⁶ And Eber5677 lived2421 four702 and thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Peleg:6389

¹⁷ And Eber5677 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Peleg6389 four702 hundred3967 and thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

¹⁸ And Peleg6389 lived2421 thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Reu:7466

¹⁹ And Peleg6389 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Reu7466 two hundred3967 and nine8672 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

²⁰ And Reu7466 lived2421 two8147 and thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Serug:8286

²¹ And Reu7466 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Serug8286 two hundred3967 and seven7651 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

²² And Serug8286 lived2421 thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Nahor:5152

²³ And Serug8286 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Nahor5152 two hundred3967 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

²⁴ And Nahor5152 lived2421 nine8672 and twenty6242 years,8141 and begat3205 Terah:8646

²⁵ And Nahor5152 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Terah8646 an hundred3967 and nineteen8672 6240 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

²⁶ And Terah8646 lived2421 seventy7657 years,8141 and begat3205 Abram,87 Nahor,5152 and Haran.2039

²⁷ Now these428 are the generations8435 of Terah:8646 Terah8646 begat3205 Abram,87 Nahor,5152 and Haran;2039 and Haran2039 begat3205 Lot.3876

²⁸ And Haran2039 died4191 before5921 6440 his father1 Terah8646 in the land776 of his nativity,4138 in Ur218 of the Chaldees.3778

²⁹ And Abram87 and Nahor5152 took3947 them wives:802 the name8034 of Abram's87 wife802 was Sarai;8297 and the name8034 of Nahor's5152 wife,802 Milcah,4435 the daughter1323 of Haran,2039 the father1 of Milcah,4435 and the father1 of Iscah.3252

³⁰ But Sarai8297 was barren;6135 she had no369 child.2056

³¹ And Terah8646 took3947 Abram87 his son,1121 and Lot3876 the son of Haran2039 his son's1121 son, and Sarai8297 his daughter3618 in law,3618 his son Abram's87 wife;802 and they went3318 forth3318 with them from Ur218 of the Chaldees,3778 to go3212 into the land776 of Canaan;3667 and they came935 to Haran,2771 and dwelled3427 there.8033

³² And the days3117 of Terah8646 were two hundred3967 and five2568 years:8141 and Terah8646 died4191 in Haran.2771

12

¹ Now the LORD3068 had said559 to Abram,87 Get3212 you out of your country,776 and from your kindred,4138 and from your father's1 house,1004 to a land776 that I will show7200 you:

² And I will make6213 of you a great1419 nation,1471 and I will bless1288 you, and make your name8034 great;1431 and you shall be a blessing:1293

³ And I will bless1288 them that bless1288 you, and curse779 him that curses7043 you: and in you shall all3605 families4940 of the earth127 be blessed.1288

⁴ So Abram87 departed,3212 as the LORD3068 had spoken1696 to him; and Lot3876 went3212 with him: and Abram87 was seventy7657 and five2568 years8141 old1121 when he departed3318 out of Haran.2771

⁵ And Abram87 took3947 Sarai8297 his wife,802 and Lot3876 his brother's251 son,1121 and all3605 their substance7399 that they had gathered,7408 and the souls5315 that they had gotten6213 in Haran;2771 and they went3318 forth3318 to go3212 into the land776 of Canaan;3667 and into the land776 of Canaan3667 they came.935

⁶ And Abram87 passed5674 through the land776 to the place4725 of Sichem,7927 to the plain436 of Moreh.4176 And the Canaanite3669 was then227 in the land.776

⁷ And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to Abram,87 and said,559 To your seed2233 will I give5414 this2063 land:776 and there8033 built1129 he an altar4196 to the LORD,3068 who appeared7200 to him.

⁸ And he removed6275 from there8033 to a mountain2022 on the east6924 of Bethel,1008 and pitched5186 his tent,168 having Bethel1008 on the west,3220 and Hai5857 on the east:6924 and there8033 he built1129 an altar4196 to the LORD,3068 and called7121 on the name8034 of the LORD.3068

⁹ And Abram87 journeyed,5265 going1980 on still5265 toward the south.5045

¹⁰ And there was a famine7458 in the land:776 and Abram87 went3381 down3381 into Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there;8033 for the famine7458 was grievous3515 in the land.776

¹¹ And it came1961 to pass, when834 he was come7126 near7126 to enter935 into935 Egypt,4714 that he said559 to Sarai8297 his wife,802 Behold2009 now,4994 I know3045 that you are a fair3303 woman802 to look4758 on:

¹² Therefore it shall come to pass, when3588 the Egyptians4713 shall see7200 you, that they shall say,559 This2063 is his wife:802 and they will kill2026 me, but they will save2421 you alive.2421

¹³ Say,559 I pray4994 you, you are my sister:269 that it may be well3190 with me for your sake;5668 and my soul5315 shall live2421 because1558 of you.

¹⁴ And it came1961 to pass, that, when Abram87 was come935 into Egypt,4714 the Egyptians4713 beheld7200 the woman802 that she was very3966 fair.3303

¹⁵ The princes8269 also of Pharaoh6547 saw7200 her, and commended1984 her before413 Pharaoh:6547 and the woman802 was taken3947 into Pharaoh's6547 house.1004

¹⁶ And he entreated Abram87 well3190 for her sake:5668 and he had1961 sheep,6629 and oxen,1241 and he asses,2543 and menservants,5650 and maidservants,8198 and she asses,860 and camels.1581

¹⁷ And the LORD3068 plagued5060 Pharaoh6547 and his house1004 with great1419 plagues5061 because5921 1697 of Sarai8297 Abram's87 wife.802

¹⁸ And Pharaoh6547 called7121 Abram 87and said,559 What4100 is this2063 that you have done6213 to me? why4100 did you not tell5046 me that she was your wife?802

¹⁹ Why4100 said559 you, She is my sister?269 so I might have taken3947 her to me to wife:802 now6258 therefore behold2009 your wife,802 take3947 her, and go3212 your way.

²⁰ And Pharaoh6547 commanded6680 his men582 concerning5921 him: and they sent7971 him away, and his wife,802 and all3605 that he had.

13

¹ And Abram87 went5927 up out of Egypt,4714 he, and his wife,802 and all3605 that he had, and Lot3876 with him, into the south.5045

² And Abram87 was very3966 rich3513 in cattle,4735 in silver,3701 and in gold.2091

³ And he went3212 on his journeys4550 from the south5045 even to Bethel,1008 to the place4725 where834 his tent168 had been1961 at the beginning,8462 between996 Bethel1008 and Hai;5857

⁴ To the place4725 of the altar,4196 which834 he had made6213 there8033 at the first:7223 and there8033 Abram87 called7121 on the name8034 of the LORD.3068

⁵ And Lot3876 also,1571 which went1980 with Abram,87 had1961 flocks,6629 and herds,1241 and tents.168

⁶ And the land776 was not able5375 to bear5375 them, that they might dwell3427 together:3162 for their substance7399 was great,7227 so that they could3201 not dwell3427 together.3162

⁷ And there was a strife7379 between996 the herdsmen7462 of Abram's87 cattle4735 and the herdsmen7462 of Lot's3876 cattle:4735 and the Canaanite3669 and the Perizzite6522 dwelled3427 then227 in the land.776

⁸ And Abram87 said559 to Lot,3876 Let there be no408 strife,4808 I pray4994 you, between996 me and you, and between996 my herdsmen7462 and your herdsmen;7462 for we be brothers.251

⁹ Is not the whole3605 land776 before6440 you? separate6504 yourself, I pray4994 you, from me: if518 you will take the left8040 hand,8041 then I will go to the right;3231 or if518 you depart to the right3225 hand,3225 then I will go to the left.8041

¹⁰ And Lot3876 lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and beheld7200 all3605 the plain3603 of Jordan,3383 that it was well watered4945 every3605 where, before6440 the LORD3068 destroyed7843 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah,6017 even as the garden1588 of the LORD,3068 like the land776 of Egypt,4714 as you come935 to Zoar.6820

¹¹ Then Lot3876 chose977 him all3605 the plain3603 of Jordan;3383 and Lot3876 journeyed5265 east:6924 and they separated6504 themselves the one376 from the other.251

¹² Abram87 dwelled3427 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 and Lot3876 dwelled3427 in the cities5892 of the plain,3603 and pitched167 his tent167 toward5704 Sodom.5467

¹³ But the men582 of Sodom5467 were wicked7451 and sinners2400 before the LORD3068 exceedingly.3966

¹⁴ And the LORD3068 said559 to Abram,87 after310 that Lot3876 was separated6504 from him, Lift5375 up now your eyes,5869 and look7200 from the place4725 where834 8033 you are northward,6828 and southward,5045 and eastward,6924 and westward:3220

¹⁵ For all3605 the land776 which834 you see,7200 to you will I give5414 it, and to your seed2233 for ever.5769

¹⁶ And I will make7760 your seed2233 as the dust6083 of the earth:776 so834 that if518 a man376 can3201 number4487 the dust6083 of the earth,776 then shall your seed2233 also1571 be numbered.4487

¹⁷ Arise,6965 walk1980 through the land776 in the length753 of it and in the breadth7341 of it; for I will give5414 it to you.

¹⁸ Then Abram87 removed167 his tent,167 and came935 and dwelled3427 in the plain436 of Mamre,4471 which is in Hebron,2275 and built1129 there8033 an altar4196 to the LORD.3068

14

¹ And it came1961 to pass in the days3117 of Amraphel569 king4428 of Shinar,8152 Arioch746 king4428 of Ellasar,495 Chedorlaomer3540 king4428 of Elam,5867 and Tidal8413 king4428 of nations;1471

² That these made6213 war4421 with Bera1298 king4428 of Sodom,5467 and with Birsha1306 king4428 of Gomorrah,6017 Shinab8134 king4428 of Admah,126 and Shemeber8038 king4428 of Zeboiim,6636 and the king4428 of Bela,1106 which1931 is Zoar.6820

³ All3605 these428 were joined2266 together in the vale6010 of Siddim,7708 which1931 is the salt4417 sea.3220

⁴ Twelve8147 6240 years8141 they served5647 Chedorlaomer,3540 and in the thirteenth7969 6240 year8141 they rebelled.4775

⁵ 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,

⁶ And the Horites2752 in their mount2042 Seir,8165 to Elparan,364 which834 is by the wilderness.4057

⁷ And they returned,7725 and came935 to Enmishpat,5880 which is Kadesh,6946 and smote5221 all3605 the country7704 of the Amalekites,6003 and also1571 the Amorites,567 that dwelled3427 in Hazezontamar.2688

⁸ And there went3318 out the king4428 of Sodom,5467 and the king4428 of Gomorrah,6017 and the king4428 of Admah,126 and the king4428 of Zeboiim,6636 and the king4428 of Bela1106 (the same1931 is Zoar;6820) and they joined6186 battle4421 with them in the vale6010 of Siddim;7708

⁹ With Chedorlaomer3540 the king4428 of Elam,5867 and with Tidal8413 king4428 of nations,1471 and Amraphel569 king4428 of Shinar,8152 and Arioch746 king4428 of Ellasar;495 four702 kings4428 with five.2568

¹⁰ And the vale6010 of Siddim7708 was full of slime pits;2564 and the kings4428 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 fled,5127 and fell5307 there;8033 and they that remained7604 fled5127 to the mountain.2022

¹¹ And they took3947 all3605 the goods7399 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah,6017 and all3605 their victuals,400 and went3212 their way.3212

¹² And they took3947 Lot,3876 Abram's87 brother's251 son,1121 who1931 dwelled3427 in Sodom,5467 and his goods,7399 and departed.3212

¹³ And there came935 one that had escaped,6412 and told5046 Abram87 the Hebrew;5680 for he dwelled7931 in the plain436 of Mamre4471 the Amorite,567 brother251 of Eshcol,812 and brother251 of Aner:6063 and these1992 were confederate1167 1285 with Abram.87

¹⁴ And when3588 Abram87 heard8085 that his brother251 was taken captive,7617 he armed7324 his trained2593 servants, born3211 in his own house,1004 three7969 hundred3967 and eighteen,8083 6240 and pursued7291 them to Dan.1835

¹⁵ And he divided2505 himself against5921 them, he and his servants,5650 by night,3915 and smote5221 them, and pursued7291 them to Hobah,2327 which834 is on the left8040 hand8040 of Damascus.1834

¹⁶ And he brought7725 back7725 all3605 the goods,7399 and also1571 brought7725 again7725 his brother251 Lot,3876 and his goods,7399 and the women802 also,1571 and the people.5971

¹⁷ And the king4428 of Sodom5467 went3318 out to meet7125 him after310 his return7725 from the slaughter5221 of Chedorlaomer,3540 and of the kings4428 that were with him, at413 the valley6010 of Shaveh,7740 which1931 is the king's4428 dale.6010

¹⁸ And Melchizedek4442 king4428 of Salem8004 brought3318 forth3318 bread3899 and wine:3196 and he was the priest3548 of the most5945 high5945 God.410

¹⁹ And he blessed1288 him, and said,559 Blessed1288 be Abram87 of the most5945 high5945 God,410 possessor7069 of heaven8064 and earth:776

²⁰ And blessed1288 be the most5945 high5945 God,410 which834 has delivered4042 your enemies6862 into your hand.3027 And he gave5414 him tithes4643 of all.3605

²¹ And the king4428 of Sodom5467 said559 to Abram,87 Give5414 me the persons,5315 and take3947 the goods7399 to yourself.

²² And Abram87 said559 to the king4428 of Sodom,5467 I have lift7311 up my hand3027 to the LORD,3068 the most5945 high5945 God,410 the possessor7069 of heaven8064 and earth,776

²³ That I will not take3947 from a thread2339 even5704 to a shoelatchet,8288 5275 and that I will not take3947 any3605 thing that is yours, lest3808 you should say,559 I have made Abram87 rich:6238

²⁴ Save1107 only7535 that which834 the young5288 men have eaten,398 and the portion2506 of the men582 which834 went1980 with me, Aner,6063 Eshcol,812 and Mamre;4471 let them take3947 their portion.2506

15

¹ After310 these428 things1697 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Abram87 in a vision,4236 saying,559 Fear3372 not, Abram:87 I am your shield,4043 and your exceeding3966 great7235 reward.7939

² And Abram87 said,559 LORD136 God,3069 what4100 will you give5414 me, seeing I go1980 childless,6185 and the steward1121 4943 of my house1004 is this1931 Eliezer461 of Damascus?1834

³ And Abram87 said,559 Behold,2005 to me you have given5414 no3808 seed:2233 and, see,2009 one born1121 in my house1004 is my heir.3423

⁴ And, behold,2009 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came to him, saying,559 This2088 shall not be your heir;3423 but he that shall come3318 forth3318 out of your own bowels4578 shall be your heir.3423

⁵ And he brought3318 him forth3318 abroad,2351 and said,559 Look5027 now4994 toward heaven,8064 and tell5608 the stars,3556 if518 you be able3201 to number5608 them: and he said559 to him, So3541 shall your seed2233 be.

⁶ And he believed539 in the LORD;3068 and he counted2803 it to him for righteousness.6666

⁷ And he said559 to him, I am the LORD3068 that brought3318 you out of Ur218 of the Chaldees,3778 to give5414 you this2063 land776 to inherit3423 it.

⁸ And he said,559 LORD136 God,3069 whereby4100 shall I know3045 that I shall inherit3423 it?

⁹ And he said559 to him, Take3947 me an heifer5697 of three8027 years8027 old,8027 and a she goat5795 of three8027 years8027 old,8027 and a ram352 of three8027 years8027 old,8027 and a turtledove,8449 and a young1469 pigeon.1469

¹⁰ And he took3947 to him all3605 these,428 and divided1334 them in the middle,8432 and laid5414 each376 piece1335 one against7125 another:7453 but the birds6833 divided1334 he not.

¹¹ And when the fowls5861 came3381 down3381 on the carcasses,6297 Abram87 drove5380 them away.

¹² And when1961 the sun8121 was going935 down,935 a deep8639 sleep8639 fell5307 on Abram;87 and, see,2009 an horror367 of great1419 darkness2825 fell5307 on him.

¹³ And he said559 to Abram,87 Know3045 of a surety3045 that your seed2233 shall be a stranger1616 in a land776 that is not their's,1992 and shall serve5647 them; and they shall afflict6031 them four702 hundred3967 years;8141

¹⁴ And also1571 that nation,1471 whom834 they shall serve,5647 will I judge:1777 and afterward310 3651 shall they come3318 out with great1419 substance.7399

¹⁵ And you shall go935 to your fathers1 in peace;7965 you shall be buried6912 in a good2896 old7872 age.7872

¹⁶ But in the fourth7243 generation1755 they shall come7725 here2008 again:7725 for the iniquity5771 of the Amorites567 is not yet5704 2008 full.8003

¹⁷ And it came1961 to pass, that, when1961 the sun8121 went935 down,935 and it was dark,5939 behold2009 a smoking6227 furnace,8574 and a burning784 lamp3940 that passed5674 between996 those428 pieces.1506

¹⁸ In the same1931 day3117 the LORD3068 made3772 a covenant1285 with Abram,87 saying,559 To your seed2233 have I given5414 this2063 land,776 from the river5104 of Egypt4714 to the great1419 river,5104 the river5104 Euphrates:6578

¹⁹ The Kenites,7017 and the Kenizzites,7074 and the Kadmonites,6935

²⁰ And the Hittites,2850 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Rephaims,7497

²¹ And the Amorites,567 and the Canaanites,3669 and the Girgashites,1622 and the Jebusites.2983

16

¹ Now Sarai8297 Abram's87 wife802 bore3205 him no3808 children: and she had an handmaid,8198 an Egyptian,4713 whose name8034 was Hagar.1904

² And Sarai8297 said559 to Abram,87 Behold2009 now,4994 the LORD3068 has restrained6113 me from bearing:3205 I pray4994 you, go935 in to my maid;8198 it may194 be that I may obtain1129 children1129 by her. And Abram87 listened8085 to the voice6963 of Sarai.8297

³ And Sarai8297 Abram's87 wife802 took3947 Hagar1904 her maid8198 the Egyptian,4713 after7093 Abram87 had dwelled3427 ten6235 years8141 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 and gave5414 her to her husband376 Abram87 to be his wife.802

⁴ And he went935 in to Hagar,1904 and she conceived:2029 and when she saw7200 that she had conceived,2029 her mistress1404 was despised7043 in her eyes.5869

⁵ And Sarai8297 said559 to Abram,87 My wrong2555 be on you: I have given5414 my maid8198 into your bosom;2436 and when she saw7200 that she had conceived,2029 I was despised7043 in her eyes:5869 the LORD3068 judge8199 between996 me and you.

⁶ But Abram87 said559 to Sarai,8297 Behold,2009 your maid8198 is in your hand;3027 do6213 to her as it pleases2896 5869 you. And when Sarai8297 dealt hardly6031 with her, she fled1272 from her face.6440

⁷ And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 found4672 her by a fountain5869 of water4325 in the wilderness,4057 by the fountain5869 in the way1870 to Shur.7793

⁸ And he said,559 Hagar,1904 Sarai's8297 maid,8198 from where335 2088 came935 you? and where575 will you go?3212 And she said,559 I flee1272 from the face6440 of my mistress1404 Sarai.8297

⁹ And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said559 to her, Return7725 to your mistress,1404 and submit6031 yourself under8478 her hands.3027

¹⁰ And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said559 to her, I will multiply7235 your seed2233 exceedingly,7235 that it shall not be numbered5608 for multitude.7230

¹¹ And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said559 to her, Behold,2009 you are with child 2030and shall bear3205 a son,1121 and shall call7121 his name8034 Ishmael;3458 because3588 the LORD3068 has heard8085 your affliction.6040

¹² And he will be a wild6501 man;120 his hand3027 will be against every3605 man, and every3605 man's hand3027 against him; and he shall dwell7931 in the presence6440 of all his brothers.251

¹³ And she called7121 the name8034 of the LORD3068 that spoke1696 to her, You God410 see7210 me: for she said,559 Have I also1571 here1988 looked7200 after310 him that sees7210 me?

¹⁴ Why5921 3651 the well875 was called7121 Beerlahairoi;883 behold,2009 it is between996 Kadesh6946 and Bered.1260

¹⁵ And Hagar1904 bore3205 Abram87 a son:1121 and Abram87 called7121 his son's1121 name,8034 which834 Hagar1904 bore,3205 Ishmael.3458

¹⁶ And Abram87 was fourscore8084 and six8337 years8141 old,1121 when Hagar1904 bore3205 Ishmael3458 to Abram.87

17

¹ And when1961 Abram87 was ninety8673 years8141 old1121 and nine,8672 the LORD3068 appeared7200 to Abram,87 and said559 to him, I am the Almighty7706 God;410 walk1980 before6440 me, and be you perfect.8549

² And I will make5414 my covenant1285 between996 me and you, and will multiply7235 you exceedingly.3966

³ And Abram87 fell5307 on5921 his face:6440 and God430 talked1696 with him, saying,559

⁴ As for me, behold,2009 my covenant1285 is with you, and you shall be a father1 of many1995 nations.1471

⁵ Neither3808 shall your name8034 any5750 more5750 be called7121 Abram,87 but your name8034 shall be Abraham;85 for a father1 of many1995 nations1471 have I made5414 you.

⁶ And I will make you exceeding3966 fruitful,6509 and I will make5414 nations1471 of you, and kings4428 shall come3318 out of you.

⁷ And I will establish6965 my covenant1285 between996 me and you and your seed2233 after310 you in their generations1755 for an everlasting5769 covenant,1285 to be a God430 to you, and to your seed2233 after310 you.

⁸ And I will give5414 to you, and to your seed2233 after310 you, the land776 wherein you are a stranger,4033 all the land776 of Canaan,3667 for an everlasting5769 possession;272 and I will be their God.430

⁹ And God430 said559 to Abraham,85 You shall keep8104 my covenant1285 therefore, you, and your seed2233 after310 you in their generations.1755

¹⁰ This2063 is my covenant,1285 which834 you shall keep,8104 between996 me and you and your seed2233 after310 you; Every3605 man2145 child among you shall be circumcised.4135

¹¹ And you shall circumcise5243 the flesh1320 of your foreskin;6190 and it shall be a token226 of the covenant1285 between996 me and you.

¹² And he that is eight8083 days3117 old1121 shall be circumcised4135 among you, every3605 man2145 child in your generations,1755 he that is born3211 in the house,1004 or bought4736 with money3701 of any3605 stranger,1121 5235 which834 is not of your seed.2233

¹³ He that is born3211 in your house,1004 and he that is bought4736 with your money,3701 must needs4135 be circumcised:4135 and my covenant1285 shall be in your flesh1320 for an everlasting5769 covenant.1285

¹⁴ And the uncircumcised6189 man2145 child whose834 flesh1320 of his foreskin6190 is not circumcised,4135 that soul5315 shall be cut3772 off from his people;5971 he has broken6565 my covenant.1285

¹⁵ And God430 said559 to Abraham,85 As for Sarai8297 your wife,802 you shall not call7121 her name8034 Sarai,8297 but Sarah8283 shall her name8034 be.

¹⁶ And I will bless1288 her, and give5414 you a son1121 also1571 of her: yes, I will bless1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nations;1471 kings4428 of people5971 shall be of her.

¹⁷ Then Abraham85 fell5307 on his face,6440 and laughed,6711 and said559 in his heart,3820 Shall a child be born3205 to him that is an hundred3967 years8141 old?1121 and shall Sarah,8283 that is ninety8673 years8141 old,1323 bear?3205

¹⁸ And Abraham85 said559 to God,430 O that Ishmael3458 might live2421 before6440 you!

¹⁹ And God430 said,559 Sarah8283 your wife802 shall bear3205 you a son1121 indeed;61 and you shall call7121 his name8034 Isaac:3327 and I will establish6965 my covenant1285 with him for an everlasting5769 covenant,1285 and with his seed2233 after310 him.

²⁰ And as for Ishmael,3458 I have heard8085 you: Behold,2009 I have blessed1288 him, and will make him fruitful,6509 and will multiply7235 him exceedingly;3966 twelve8147 6240 princes5387 shall he beget,3205 and I will make5414 him a great1419 nation.1471

²¹ But my covenant1285 will I establish6965 with Isaac,3327 which834 Sarah8283 shall bear3205 to you at this2088 set4150 time in the next312 year.8141

²² And he left3615 off talking1696 with him, and God430 went5927 up from Abraham.85

²³ And Abraham85 took3947 Ishmael3458 his son,1121 and all3605 that were born3211 in his house,1004 and all3605 that were bought4736 with his money,3701 every3605 male2145 among the men582 of Abraham's85 house;1004 and circumcised4135 the flesh1320 of their foreskin6190 in the selfsame2088 6106 day,3117 as God430 had said1696 to him.

²⁴ And Abraham85 was ninety8673 years8141 old1121 and nine,8672 when he was circumcised4135 in the flesh1320 of his foreskin.6190

²⁵ And Ishmael3458 his son1121 was thirteen7969 6240 years8141 old,1121 when he was circumcised4135 in the flesh1320 of his foreskin.6190

²⁶ In the selfsame2088 6106 day3117 was Abraham85 circumcised,4135 and Ishmael3458 his son.1121

²⁷ And all3605 the men582 of his house,1004 born3211 in the house,1004 and bought4736 with money3701 of the stranger,1121 5235 were circumcised4135 with him.

18

¹ And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to him in the plains436 of Mamre:4471 and he sat3427 in the tent168 door6607 in the heat2527 of the day;3117

² And he lift5375 up his eyes5869 and looked,7200 and, see,2009 three7969 men582 stood5324 by him: and when he saw7200 them, he ran7323 to meet7125 them from the tent168 door,6607 and bowed7812 himself toward the ground,776

³ And said,559 My LORD,136 if518 now4994 I have found4672 favor2580 in your sight,5869 pass5674 not away, I pray4994 you, from your servant:5650

⁴ Let a little4592 water,4325 I pray4994 you, be fetched,3947 and wash7364 your feet,7272 and rest8172 yourselves under8478 the tree:6086

⁵ And I will fetch3947 a morsel6595 of bread,3899 and comfort5582 you your hearts;3820 after310 that you shall pass5674 on: for therefore5921 3651 are you come5674 to your servant.5650 And they said,1696 So3651 do,6213 as you have said.1696

⁶ And Abraham85 hastened4116 into the tent168 to Sarah,8283 and said,559 Make ready4116 quickly4116 three7969 measures5429 of fine5560 meal,7058 5560 knead3888 it, and make6213 cakes5692 on the hearth.3820

⁷ And Abraham85 ran7323 to the herd,1241 and fetched3947 a calf1121 1241 tender7390 and good,2896 and gave5414 it to a young5288 man; and he hurried4116 to dress6213 it.

⁸ And he took3947 butter,2529 and milk,2461 and the calf1121 1241 which834 he had dressed,6213 and set5414 it before6440 them; and he stood5975 by them under8478 the tree,6086 and they did eat.398

⁹ And they said559 to him, Where346 is Sarah8283 your wife?802 And he said,559 Behold,2009 in the tent.168

¹⁰ And he said,559 I will certainly7725 return7725 to you according to the time6256 of life;2416 and, see,2009 Sarah8283 your wife802 shall have a son.1121 And Sarah8283 heard8085 it in the tent168 door,6607 which1931 was behind310 him.

¹¹ Now Abraham85 and Sarah8283 were old2205 and well stricken935 in age;3117 and it ceased2308 to be with Sarah8283 after the manner734 of women.802

¹² Therefore Sarah8283 laughed6711 within7130 herself, saying,559 After310 I am waxed old1086 shall I have1961 pleasure,5730 my lord113 being old2204 also?

¹³ And the LORD3068 said559 to Abraham,85 Why4100 did Sarah8283 laugh,6711 saying,559 Shall I of a surety552 bear3205 a child, which589 am old?2204

¹⁴ Is any thing1697 too hard6381 for the LORD?3068 At the time appointed4150 I will return7725 to you, according to the time6256 of life,2416 and Sarah8283 shall have a son.1121

¹⁵ Then Sarah8283 denied,3584 saying,559 I laughed6711 not; for she was afraid.3372 And he said,559 No;3808 but you did laugh.6711

¹⁶ And the men582 rose6965 up from there,8033 and looked8259 toward5921 6440 Sodom:5467 and Abraham85 went1980 with them to bring7971 them on the way.7971

¹⁷ And the LORD3068 said,559 Shall I hide3680 from Abraham85 that thing which834 I do;6213

¹⁸ Seeing that Abraham85 shall surely become1961 a great1419 and mighty6099 nation,1471 and all3605 the nations1471 of the earth776 shall be blessed1288 in him?

¹⁹ For I know3045 him, that he will command6680 his children1121 and his household1004 after310 him, and they shall keep8104 the way1870 of the LORD,3068 to do6213 justice6666 and judgment;4941 that the LORD3068 may bring935 on Abraham85 that which834 he has spoken1696 of him.

²⁰ And the LORD3068 said,559 Because3588 the cry2201 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 is great,7227 and because3588 their sin2403 is very3966 grievous;3513

²¹ I will go3381 down3381 now,4994 and see7200 whether they have done6213 altogether3617 according to the cry6818 of it, which is come935 to me; and if518 not, I will know.3045

²² And the men582 turned6437 their faces from there,8033 and went3212 toward Sodom:5467 but Abraham85 stood5975 yet5750 before6440 the LORD.3068

²³ And Abraham85 drew near,5066 and said,559 Will you also637 destroy5595 the righteous6662 with the wicked?7563

²⁴ Peradventure194 there be fifty2572 righteous6662 within8432 the city:5892 will you also637 destroy5595 and not spare5375 the place4725 for the fifty2572 righteous6662 that are therein?7130

²⁵ That be far2486 from you to do6213 after3651 this2088 manner,1697 to slay4191 the righteous6662 with the wicked:7563 and that the righteous6662 should be as the wicked,7563 that be far2486 from you: Shall not the Judge8199 of all3605 the earth776 do6213 right?4941

²⁶ And the LORD3068 said,559 If518 I find4672 in Sodom5467 fifty2572 righteous6662 within8432 the city,5892 then I will spare5375 all3605 the place4725 for their sakes.5668

²⁷ And Abraham85 answered6030 and said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 I have taken2974 on me to speak1696 to the LORD,136 which595 am but dust6083 and ashes:665

²⁸ Peradventure194 there shall lack2637 five2568 of the fifty2572 righteous:6662 will you destroy7843 all3605 the city5892 for lack of five?2568 And he said,559 If518 I find4672 there8033 forty705 and five,2568 I will not destroy7843 it.

²⁹ And he spoke1696 to him yet5750 again,3254 and said,559 Peradventure194 there shall be forty705 found4672 there. And he said,559 I will not do6213 it for forty's705 sake.5668

³⁰ And he said559 to him, Oh4994 let not the LORD136 be angry,2734 and I will speak:1696 Peradventure194 there8033 shall thirty7970 be found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not do6213 it, if518 I find4672 thirty7970 there.8033

³¹ And he said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 I have taken2974 on me to speak1696 to the LORD:136 Peradventure194 there8033 shall be twenty6242 found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not destroy7843 it for twenty's6242 sake.5668

³² And he said,559 Oh4994 let not the LORD136 be angry,2734 and I will speak1696 yet389 but this6471 once:6471 Peradventure194 ten6235 shall be found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not destroy7843 it for ten's6235 sake.5668

³³ And the LORD3068 went3212 his way,3212 as soon834 as he had left3615 communing1696 with Abraham:85 and Abraham85 returned7725 to his place.4725

19

¹ And there came935 two8147 angels4397 to Sodom5467 at even;6153 and Lot3876 sat3427 in the gate8179 of Sodom:5467 and Lot3876 seeing7200 them rose6965 up to meet7125 them; and he bowed7812 himself with his face639 toward the ground;776

² And he said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 my lords,113 turn5493 in, I pray4994 you, into413 your servant's5650 house,1004 and tarry3885 all3885 night, and wash7364 your feet,7272 and you shall rise7925 up early,7925 and go1980 on your ways.1870 And they said,559 No;3808 but we will abide3885 in the street7339 all3885 night.

³ And he pressed6484 on them greatly;3966 and they turned5493 in to him, and entered935 into413 his house;1004 and he made6213 them a feast,4960 and did bake644 unleavened4682 bread, and they did eat.398

⁴ But before2962 they lay7901 down, the men582 of the city,5892 even the men582 of Sodom,5467 compassed5437 the house1004 round,5921 both old2205 and young,5288 all3605 the people5971 from every quarter:7098

⁵ And they called7121 to Lot,3876 and said559 to him, Where346 are the men582 which834 came935 in to you this night?3915 bring3318 them out to us, that we may know3045 them.

⁶ And Lot3876 went3318 out at the door6607 to them, and shut5462 the door1817 after310 him,

⁷ And said,559 I pray4994 you, brothers,251 do not so wickedly.7489

⁸ Behold2009 now,4994 I have two8147 daughters1323 which834 have not known3045 man;376 let me, I pray4994 you, bring3318 them out to you, and do6213 you to them as is good2896 in your eyes:5869 only7535 to these428 men582 do6213 nothing;3808 1697 for therefore5921 3651 came935 they under the shadow6738 of my roof.6982

⁹ And they said,559 Stand5066 back.1973 And they said559 again, This one259 fellow came935 in to sojourn,1481 and he will needs8199 be a judge:8199 now6258 will we deal worse7489 with you, than with them. And they pressed6484 sore3966 on the man,376 even Lot,3876 and came5066 near5066 to break7665 the door.1817

¹⁰ But the men582 put7971 forth7971 their hand,3027 and pulled935 Lot3876 into the house1004 to them, and shut5462 to the door.1817

¹¹ And they smote5221 the men582 that were at the door6607 of the house1004 with blindness,5575 both small6996 and great:1419 so that they wearied3811 themselves to find4672 the door.6607

¹² And the men582 said559 to Lot,3876 Have you here6311 any4310 besides?5750 son1121 in law,2859 and your sons,1121 and your daughters,1323 and whatever3605 834 you have in the city,5892 bring3318 them out of this place:4725

¹³ For we will destroy7843 this2088 place,4725 because3588 the cry6818 of them is waxen great1431 before854 the face6440 of the LORD;3068 and the LORD3068 has sent7971 us to destroy7843 it.

¹⁴ And Lot3876 went3318 out, and spoke1696 to his sons2860 in law,2859 which married3947 his daughters,1323 and said,559 Up, get3318 you out of this2088 place;4725 for the LORD3068 will destroy7843 this city.5892 But he seemed1961 5869 as one that mocked6711 to his sons2860 in law.2859

¹⁵ And when3644 the morning7837 arose,5927 then the angels4397 hastened213 Lot,3876 saying,559 Arise,6965 take3947 your wife,802 and your two8147 daughters,1323 which are here;4672 lest6435 you be consumed5595 in the iniquity5771 of the city.5892

¹⁶ And while he lingered,4102 the men582 laid hold2388 on his hand,3027 and on the hand3027 of his wife,802 and on the hand3027 of his two8147 daughters;1323 the LORD3068 being merciful2551 to him: and they brought3318 him forth,3318 and set3240 him without2351 the city.5892

¹⁷ And it came1961 to pass, when they had brought3318 them forth3318 abroad,2351 that he said,559 Escape4422 for your life;5315 look5027 not behind310 you, neither408 stay5975 you in all3605 the plain;3603 escape4422 to the mountain,2022 lest6435 you be consumed.5595

¹⁸ And Lot3876 said559 to them, Oh,4994 not so, my LORD:113

¹⁹ Behold2009 now,4994 your servant5650 has found4672 grace2580 in your sight,5869 and you have magnified1431 your mercy,2617 which834 you have showed6213 to me in saving2421 my life;5315 and I cannot3808 3201 escape4422 to the mountain,2022 lest6435 some evil7451 take1692 me, and I die:4191

²⁰ Behold2009 now,4994 this2063 city5892 is near7138 to flee5127 to, and it is a little4705 one: Oh,4994 let me escape4422 thither,8033 (is it not a little4705 one?) and my soul5315 shall live.2421

²¹ And he said559 to him, See,2009 I have accepted5375 you concerning this2088 thing1697 also,1571 that I will not overthrow2015 this city,5892 for the which834 you have spoken.1696

²² Haste4116 you, escape4422 thither;8033 for I cannot3808 3201 do6213 anything1697 till5704 you be come935 thither.8033 Therefore5921 3651 the name8034 of the city5892 was called7121 Zoar.6820

²³ The sun8121 was risen3318 on the earth776 when Lot3876 entered935 into Zoar.6820

²⁴ Then the LORD3068 rained4305 on Sodom5467 and on Gomorrah6017 brimstone1614 and fire784 from the LORD3068 out of heaven;8064

²⁵ And he overthrew2015 those411 cities,5892 and all3605 the plain,3603 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the cities,5892 and that which grew6780 on the ground.127

²⁶ But his wife802 looked5027 back from behind310 him, and she became1961 a pillar5333 of salt.4417

²⁷ And Abraham85 got up early7925 in the morning1242 to the place4725 where834 he stood5975 before854 6440 the LORD:3068

²⁸ And he looked8259 toward5921 6440 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah,6017 and toward5921 6440 all3605 the land776 of the plain,3603 and beheld,7200 and, see,2009 the smoke7008 of the country776 went5927 up as the smoke7008 of a furnace.3536

²⁹ And it came1961 to pass, when God430 destroyed7843 the cities5892 of the plain,3603 that God430 remembered2142 Abraham,85 and sent7971 Lot3876 out of the middle8432 of the overthrow,2018 when he overthrew2015 the cities5892 in the which834 2004 Lot3876 dwelled.3427

³⁰ And Lot3876 went5927 up out of Zoar,6820 and dwelled3427 in the mountain,2022 and his two8147 daughters1323 with him; for he feared3372 to dwell3427 in Zoar:6820 and he dwelled3427 in a cave,4631 he and his two8147 daughters.1323

³¹ And the firstborn1067 said559 to the younger,6810 Our father1 is old,2204 and there is not a man376 in the earth776 to come935 in to us after the manner1870 of all3605 the earth:776

³² Come,3212 let us make our father1 drink8248 wine,3196 and we will lie7901 with him, that we may preserve2421 seed2233 of our father.1

³³ And they made their father1 drink8248 wine3196 that night:3915 and the firstborn1067 went935 in, and lay7901 with her father;1 and he perceived3045 not when she lay7901 down, nor when she arose.6965

³⁴ And it came1961 to pass on the morrow,4283 that the firstborn1067 said559 to the younger,6810 Behold,2005 I lay7901 last night570 with my father:1 let us make him drink8248 wine3196 this night3915 also;1571 and go935 you in, and lie7901 with him, that we may preserve2421 seed2233 of our father.1

³⁵ And they made their father1 drink8248 wine3196 that night3915 also:1571 and the younger6810 arose,6965 and lay7901 with him; and he perceived3045 not when she lay7901 down, nor when she arose.6965

³⁶ Thus were both8147 the daughters1323 of Lot3876 with child2029 by their father.1

³⁷ And the first born1067 bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Moab:4124 the same1931 is the father1 of the Moabites4124 to this day.3117

³⁸ And the younger,6810 she also bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Benammi:1151 the same1931 is the father1 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 to this day.3117

20

¹ And Abraham85 journeyed5265 from there8033 toward the south5045 country,776 and dwelled3427 between996 Kadesh6946 and Shur,7793 and sojourned1481 in Gerar.1642

² And Abraham85 said559 of Sarah8283 his wife,802 She is my sister:269 and Abimelech40 king4428 of Gerar1642 sent,7971 and took3947 Sarah.8283

³ But God430 came935 to Abimelech40 in a dream2472 by night,3915 and said559 to him, Behold,2009 you are but a dead4191 man, for the woman802 which834 you have taken;3947 for she is a man's1167 wife.1166

⁴ But Abimelech40 had not come7126 near7126 her: and he said,559 LORD,136 will you slay2026 also1571 a righteous6662 nation?1471

⁵ Said559 he not to me, She is my sister?269 and she, even1571 she herself said,559 He is my brother:251 in the integrity8537 of my heart3824 and innocence5356 of my hands3709 have I done6213 this.2063

⁶ And God430 said559 to him in a dream,2472 Yes,1571 I know3045 that you did6213 this2063 in the integrity8537 of your heart;3824 for I also1571 withheld2820 you from sinning2398 against me: therefore5921 3651 suffered5414 I you not to touch5060 her.

⁷ Now6258 therefore restore7725 the man376 his wife;802 for he is a prophet,5030 and he shall pray6419 for you, and you shall live:2421 and if518 you restore7725 her not, know3045 you that you shall surely3588 die,4191 you, and all3605 that are yours.

⁸ Therefore Abimelech40 rose7925 early7925 in the morning,1242 and called7121 all3605 his servants,5650 and told1696 all3605 these428 things1697 in their ears:241 and the men582 were sore3966 afraid.3372

⁹ Then Abimelech40 called7121 Abraham,85 and said559 to him, What4100 have you done6213 to us? and what4100 have I offended2398 you, that you have brought935 on5921 me and on5921 my kingdom4467 a great1419 sin?2401 you have done6213 deeds4639 to me that ought not to be done.6213

¹⁰ And Abimelech40 said559 to Abraham,85 What4100 saw7200 you, that you have done6213 this2088 thing?1697

¹¹ And Abraham85 said,559 Because3588 I thought,559 Surely7535 the fear3374 of God430 is not in this2088 place;4725 and they will slay2026 me for my wife's802 sake.1697

¹² And yet1571 indeed546 she is my sister;269 she is the daughter1323 of my father,1 but not the daughter1323 of my mother;517 and she became1961 my wife.802

¹³ And it came1961 to pass, when834 God430 caused me to wander8582 from my father's1 house,1004 that I said559 to her, This2088 is your kindness2617 which834 you shall show6213 to me; at413 every3605 place4725 where834 8033 we shall come,935 say559 of me, He is my brother.251

¹⁴ And Abimelech40 took3947 sheep,6629 and oxen,1241 and menservants,5650 and womenservants,8198 and gave5414 them to Abraham,85 and restored7725 him Sarah8283 his wife.802

¹⁵ And Abimelech40 said,559 Behold,2009 my land776 is before6440 you: dwell3427 where it pleases2896 5869 you.

¹⁶ And to Sarah8283 he said,559 Behold,2009 I have given5414 your brother251 a thousand505 pieces of silver:3701 behold,2009 he is to you a covering3682 of the eyes,5869 to all3605 that are with you, and with all3605 other: thus she was reproved.3198

¹⁷ So Abraham85 prayed6419 to God:430 and God430 healed7495 Abimelech,40 and his wife,802 and his maidservants;519 and they bore3205 children.

¹⁸ For the LORD3068 had fast closed6113 up all3605 the wombs7358 of the house1004 of Abimelech,40 because5921 1697 of Sarah8283 Abraham's85 wife.802

21

¹ And the LORD3068 visited6485 Sarah8283 as he had said,559 and the LORD3068 did6213 to Sarah8283 as he had spoken.1696

² For Sarah8283 conceived,2029 and bore3205 Abraham85 a son1121 in his old2208 age, at the set4150 time of which834 God430 had spoken1696 to him.

³ And Abraham85 called7121 the name8034 of his son1121 that was born3205 to him, whom834 Sarah8283 bore3205 to him, Isaac.3327

⁴ And Abraham85 circumcised4135 his son1121 Isaac3327 being eight8083 days3117 old,1121 as God430 had commanded6680 him.

⁵ And Abraham85 was an hundred3967 years8141 old,1121 when his son1121 Isaac3327 was born3205 to him.

⁶ And Sarah8283 said,559 God430 has made me to laugh,6712 so that all3605 that hear8085 will laugh6711 with me.

⁷ And she said,4448 Who4310 would have said4448 to Abraham,85 that Sarah8283 should have given children1121 suck?3243 for I have born3205 him a son1121 in his old2208 age.

⁸ And the child3206 grew,1431 and was weaned:1580 and Abraham85 made6213 a great1419 feast4960 the same day3117 that Isaac3327 was weaned.1580

⁹ And Sarah8283 saw7200 the son1121 of Hagar1904 the Egyptian,4713 which834 she had born3205 to Abraham,85 mocking.6711

¹⁰ Why she said559 to Abraham,85 Cast1644 out this2063 female slave519 and her son:1121 for the son1121 of this2063 female slave519 shall not be heir3423 with my son, even with Isaac.3327

¹¹ And the thing1697 was very3966 grievous7489 in Abraham's85 sight5869 because2921 182 of his son.1121

¹² And God430 said559 to Abraham,85 Let it not be grievous7489 in your sight5869 because5921 of the lad,5288 and because5921 of your female slave;519 in all3605 that Sarah8283 has said559 to you, listen8085 to her voice;6963 for in Isaac3327 shall your seed2233 be called.7121

¹³ And also of the son1121 of the female slave519 will I make7760 a nation,1471 because3588 he is your seed.2233

¹⁴ And Abraham85 rose7925 up early7925 in the morning,1242 and took3947 bread,3899 and a bottle2573 of water,4325 and gave5414 it to Hagar,1904 putting7760 it on5921 her shoulder,7926 and the child,3206 and sent7971 her away: and she departed,3212 and wandered8582 in the wilderness4057 of Beersheba.884

¹⁵ And the water4325 was spent3615 in the bottle,2573 and she cast7993 the child3206 under8478 one259 of the shrubs.7880

¹⁶ And she went,3212 and sat3427 her down over5048 against5048 him a good7368 way off, as it were a bow shot:2909 7198 for she said,559 Let me not see7200 the death4194 of the child.3206 And she sat3427 over5048 against5048 him, and lift5375 up her voice,6963 and wept.1058

¹⁷ And God430 heard8085 the voice6963 of the lad;5288 and the angel4397 of God430 called7121 to Hagar1904 out of heaven,8064 and said559 to her, What4100 ails you, Hagar?1904 fear3372 not; for God430 has heard8085 the voice6963 of the lad5288 where834 he is.

¹⁸ Arise,6965 lift5375 up the lad,5288 and hold2388 him in your hand;3027 for I will make7760 him a great1419 nation.1471

¹⁹ And God430 opened6491 her eyes,5869 and she saw7200 a well875 of water;4325 and she went,3212 and filled4390 the bottle2573 with water,4325 and gave the lad5288 drink.8248

²⁰ And God430 was with the lad;5288 and he grew,1431 and dwelled3427 in the wilderness,4057 and became1961 an archer.7198

²¹ And he dwelled3427 in the wilderness4057 of Paran:6290 and his mother517 took3947 him a wife802 out of the land776 of Egypt.4714

²² And it came1961 to pass at that time,6256 that Abimelech40 and Phichol6369 the chief captain8269 of his host6635 spoke559 to Abraham,85 saying,559 God430 is with you in all3605 that you do:6213

²³ Now6258 therefore swear7650 to me here2008 by God430 that you will not deal falsely8266 with me, nor with my son,5220 nor with my son's5220 son:5220 but according to the kindness2617 that I have done6213 to you, you shall do6213 to me, and to the land776 wherein834 you have sojourned.1481

²⁴ And Abraham85 said,559 I will swear.7650

²⁵ And Abraham85 reproved3198 Abimelech40 because5921 182 of a well875 of water,4325 which834 Abimelech's40 servants5650 had violently1497 taken1497 away.

²⁶ And Abimelech40 said,559 I know3045 not who4310 has done6213 this2088 thing;1697 neither3808 did you tell5046 me, neither3808 yet1571 heard8085 I of it, but to day.3117

²⁷ And Abraham85 took3947 sheep6629 and oxen,1241 and gave5414 them to Abimelech;40 and both8147 of them made3772 a covenant.1285

²⁸ And Abraham85 set5324 seven7651 ewe3535 lambs3535 of the flock6629 by themselves.

²⁹ And Abimelech40 said559 to Abraham,85 What4100 mean these seven7651 ewe3535 lambs3535 which834 you have set5324 by themselves?

³⁰ And he said,559 For these seven7651 ewe3535 lambs3535 shall you take3947 of my hand,3027 that they may be a witness5713 to me, that I have dig2658 this well.875

³¹ Why5921 3651 he called7121 that place4725 Beersheba;884 because3588 there8033 they swore7650 both8147 of them.

³² Thus they made3772 a covenant1285 at Beersheba:884 then Abimelech40 rose6965 up, and Phichol6369 the chief captain8269 of his host,6635 and they returned7725 into413 the land776 of the Philistines.6430

³³ And Abraham85 planted5193 a grove815 in Beersheba,884 and called7121 there8033 on the name8034 of the LORD,3068 the everlasting5769 God.410

³⁴ And Abraham85 sojourned1481 in the Philistines' 6430land776 many7227 days.3117

22

¹ And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that God430 did tempt5254 Abraham,85 and said559 to him, Abraham:85 and he said,559 Behold,2009 here I am.

² And he said,559 Take3947 now4994 your son,1121 your only3173 son Isaac,3327 whom834 you love,157 and get3212 you into413 the land776 of Moriah;4179 and offer5927 him there8033 for a burnt5930 offering on one259 of the mountains2022 which834 I will tell559 you of.

³ And Abraham85 rose7925 up early7925 in the morning,1242 and saddled2280 his ass,2543 and took3947 two8147 of his young5288 men with him, and Isaac3327 his son,1121 and split1234 the wood6086 for the burnt5930 offering, and rose6965 up, and went3212 to the place4725 of which God430 had told559 him.

⁴ Then on the third7992 day3117 Abraham85 lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and saw7200 the place4725 afar7350 off.

⁵ And Abraham85 said559 to his young5288 men, Abide3427 you here6311 with the ass;2543 and I and the lad5288 will go3212 yonder5704 3541 and worship,7812 and come7725 again7725 to you.

⁶ And Abraham85 took3947 the wood6086 of the burnt5930 offering, and laid7760 it on Isaac3327 his son;1121 and he took3947 the fire784 in his hand,3027 and a knife;3979 and they went3212 both8147 of them together.3162

⁷ And Isaac3327 spoke559 to Abraham85 his father,1 and said,559 My father:1 and he said,559 Here2009 am I, my son.1121 And he said,559 Behold2009 the fire784 and the wood:6086 but where346 is the lamb7716 for a burnt5930 offering?

⁸ And Abraham85 said,559 My son,1121 God430 will provide7200 himself a lamb7716 for a burnt5930 offering: so they went3212 both8147 of them together.3162

⁹ And they came935 to the place4725 which834 God430 had told559 him of; and Abraham85 built1129 an altar4196 there,8033 and laid the wood6086 in order,6186 and bound6123 Isaac3327 his son,1121 and laid7760 him on5921 the altar4196 on the wood.6086

¹⁰ And Abraham85 stretched7971 forth his hand,3027 and took3947 the knife3979 to slay7819 his son.1121

¹¹ And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 called7121 to him out of heaven,8064 and said,559 Abraham,85 Abraham:85 and he said,559 Here2009 am I.

¹² And he said,559 Lay7971 not your hand3027 on the lad,5288 neither408 do6213 you any3972 thing to him: for now6258 I know3045 that you fear3373 God,430 seeing you have not withheld2820 your son,1121 your only3162 son from me.

¹³ And Abraham85 lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and looked,7200 and behold2009 behind310 him a ram352 caught270 in a thicket5442 by his horns:7161 and Abraham85 went3212 and took3947 the ram,352 and offered5927 him up for a burnt5930 offering in the stead8478 of his son.1121

¹⁴ And Abraham85 called7121 the name8034 of that place4725 Jehovahjireh:3070 as it is said559 to this day,3117 In the mount2022 of the LORD3068 it shall be seen.7200

¹⁵ And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 called7121 to Abraham85 out of heaven8064 the second8145 time,6256

¹⁶ And said,559 By myself have I sworn,7650 said5002 the LORD,3068 for because3282 834 you have done6213 this2088 thing,1697 and have not withheld2820 your son,1121 your only3173 son:

¹⁷ That in blessing1288 I will bless1288 you, and in multiplying7235 I will multiply7235 your seed2233 as the stars3556 of the heaven,8064 and as the sand2344 which834 is on the sea3220 shore;8193 and your seed2233 shall possess3423 the gate8179 of his enemies;341

¹⁸ And in your seed2233 shall all3605 the nations1471 of the earth776 be blessed;1288 because6118 834 you have obeyed8085 my voice.6963

¹⁹ So Abraham85 returned7725 to his young5288 men, and they rose6965 up and went3212 together3162 to Beersheba;884 and Abraham85 dwelled3427 at Beersheba.884

²⁰ And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that it was told5046 Abraham,85 saying,559 Behold,2009 Milcah,4435 she has also born3205 children1121 to your brother251 Nahor;5152

²¹ Huz5780 his firstborn,1060 and Buz938 his brother,251 and Kemuel7055 the father1 of Aram,758

²² And Chesed,3777 and Hazo,2375 and Pildash,6394 and Jidlaph,3044 and Bethuel.1328

²³ And Bethuel1328 begat3205 Rebekah:7259 these428 eight8083 Milcah4435 did bear3205 to Nahor,5152 Abraham's85 brother.251

²⁴ And his concubine,6370 whose name8034 was Reumah,7208 she bore3205 also Tebah,2875 and Gaham,1514 and Thahash,8477 and Maachah.4601

23

¹ And Sarah8283 was an hundred3967 and seven7651 and twenty6242 years8141 old:2416 these were the years8141 of the life2416 of Sarah.8283

² And Sarah8283 died4191 in Kirjatharba;7153 the same1931 is Hebron2275 in the land776 of Canaan:3667 and Abraham85 came935 to mourn5594 for Sarah,8283 and to weep1058 for her.

³ And Abraham85 stood6965 up from before5921 6440 his dead,4191 and spoke1696 to the sons1121 of Heth,2845 saying,559

⁴ I am a stranger1616 and a sojourner8453 with you: give5414 me a possession272 of a burial plot6913 with you, that I may bury6912 my dead4191 out of my sight.6440

⁵ And the children1121 of Heth2845 answered6030 Abraham,85 saying559 to him,

⁶ Hear8085 us, my lord:113 you are a mighty430 prince5387 among8432 us: in the choice4005 of our sepulchers6913 bury6912 your dead;4191 none376 3808 of us shall withhold3607 from you his sepulcher,6913 but that you may bury6912 your dead.4191

⁷ And Abraham85 stood6965 up, and bowed7812 himself to the people5971 of the land,776 even to the children1121 of Heth.2845

⁸ And he communed1696 with them, saying,559 If it be your mind5315 that I should bury6912 my dead4191 out of my sight;6440 hear8085 me, and entreat6293 for me to Ephron6085 the son1121 of Zohar,6714

⁹ That he may give5414 me the cave4631 of Machpelah,4375 which834 he has, which834 is in the end7097 of his field;7704 for as much money3701 as it is worth4392 he shall give5414 it me for a possession272 of a burial plot6913 among8432 you.

¹⁰ And Ephron6085 dwelled3427 among8432 the children1121 of Heth:2845 and Ephron6085 the Hittite2850 answered6030 Abraham85 in the audience241 of the children1121 of Heth,2845 even of all3605 that went935 in at the gate8179 of his city,5892 saying,559

¹¹ No,3808 my lord,113 hear8085 me: the field7704 give5414 I you, and the cave4631 that is therein, I give5414 it you; in the presence5869 of the sons1121 of my people5971 give5414 I it you: bury6912 your dead.4191

¹² And Abraham85 bowed7812 down7812 himself before6440 the people5971 of the land.776

¹³ And he spoke1696 to Ephron6085 in the audience241 of the people5971 of the land,776 saying,559 But if you will give5414 it, I pray3863 you, hear8085 me: I will give5414 you money3701 for the field;7704 take3947 it of me, and I will bury6912 my dead4191 there.8033

¹⁴ And Ephron6085 answered6030 Abraham,85 saying559 to him,

¹⁵ My lord,113 listen8085 to me: the land776 is worth four702 hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver;3701 what4100 is that between996 me and you? bury6912 therefore your dead.4191

¹⁶ And Abraham85 listened8085 to Ephron;6085 and Abraham85 weighed8254 to Ephron6085 the silver,3701 which834 he had named1696 in the audience241 of the sons1121 of Heth,2845 four702 hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver,3701 current5674 money with the merchant.

¹⁷ And the field7704 of Ephron 6085which834 was in Machpelah,4375 which834 was before6440 Mamre,4471 the field,7704 and the cave4631 which834 was therein, and all the trees6086 that were in the field,7704 that were in all the borders1366 round5439 about, were made sure6965

¹⁸ To Abraham85 for a possession4736 in the presence5869 of the children1121 of Heth,2845 before all3605 that went935 in at the gate8179 of his city.5892

¹⁹ And after310 this,3651 Abraham85 buried6912 Sarah8283 his wife802 in the cave4631 of the field7704 of Machpelah4375 before5921 6440 Mamre:4471 the same1931 is Hebron2275 in the land776 of Canaan.3667

²⁰ And the field,7704 and the cave4631 that is therein, were made sure6965 to Abraham85 for a possession272 of a burial plot6913 by the sons1121 of Heth.2845

24

¹ And Abraham85 was old,2204 and well stricken935 in age:3117 and the LORD3068 had blessed1288 Abraham85 in all3605 things.

² And Abraham85 said559 to his oldest2205 servant5650 of his house,1004 that ruled4910 over all3605 that he had, Put,7760 I pray4994 you, your hand3027 under8478 my thigh:3409

³ And I will make you swear7650 by the LORD,3068 the God430 of heaven,8064 and the God430 of the earth,776 that you shall not take3947 a wife802 to my son1121 of the daughters1323 of the Canaanites,3669 among7130 whom834 I dwell:3427

⁴ But you shall go3212 to my country,776 and to my kindred,4138 and take3947 a wife802 to my son1121 Isaac.3327
