15 : 16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again : for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full . |
15 : 17 And it came to pass , that , when the sun went down , and it was dark , behold a smoking furnace , and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces . |
15 : 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram , saying , Unto thy seed have I given this land , from the river of Egypt unto the great river , the river Euphrates : 15 : 19 The Kenites , and the Kenizzites , and the Kadmonites , 15 : 20 And the Hittites , and the Perizzites , and the Rephaims , 15 : 21 And the Amorites , and the Canaanites , and the Girgashites , and the Jebusites . |
16 : 1 Now Sarai Abram ’ s wife bare him no children : and she had an handmaid , an Egyptian , whose name was Hagar . |
16 : 2 And Sarai said unto Abram , Behold now , the LORD hath restrained me from bearing : I pray thee , go in unto my maid ; it may be that I may obtain children by her . And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai . |
16 : 3 And Sarai Abram ’ s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian , after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan , and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife . |
16 : 4 And he went in unto Hagar , and she conceived : and when she saw that she had conceived , her mistress was despised in her eyes . |
16 : 5 And Sarai said unto Abram , My wrong be upon thee : I have given my maid into thy bosom ; and when she saw that she had conceived , I was despised in her eyes : the LORD judge between me and thee . |
16 : 6 But Abram said unto Sarai , Behold , thy maid is in thine hand ; do to her as it pleaseth thee . And when Sarai dealt hardly with her , she fled from her face . |
16 : 7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness , by the fountain in the way to Shur . |
16 : 8 And he said , Hagar , Sarai ’ s maid , whence camest thou ? and whither wilt thou go ? And she said , I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai . |
16 : 9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her , Return to thy mistress , and submit thyself under her hands . |
16 : 10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her , I will multiply thy seed exceedingly , that it shall not be numbered for multitude . |
16 : 11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her , Behold , thou art with child and shalt bear a son , and shalt call his name Ishmael ; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction . |
16 : 12 And he will be a wild man ; his hand will be against every man , and every man ’ s hand against him ; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren . |
16 : 13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her , Thou God seest me : for she said , Have I also here looked after him that seeth me ? 16 : 14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi ; behold , it is between Kadesh and Bered . |
16 : 15 And Hagar bare Abram a son : and Abram called his son ’ s name , which Hagar bare , Ishmael . |
16 : 16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old , when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram . |
17 : 1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine , the LORD appeared to Abram , and said unto him , I am the Almighty God ; walk before me , and be thou perfect . |
17 : 2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee , and will multiply thee exceedingly . |
17 : 3 And Abram fell on his face : and God talked with him , saying , 17 : 4 As for me , behold , my covenant is with thee , and thou shalt be a father of many nations . |
17 : 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram , but thy name shall be Abraham ; for a father of many nations have I made thee . |
17 : 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful , and I will make nations of thee , and kings shall come out of thee . |
17 : 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant , to be a God unto thee , and to thy seed after thee . |
17 : 8 And I will give unto thee , and to thy seed after thee , the land wherein thou art a stranger , all the land of Canaan , for an everlasting possession ; and I will be their God . |
17 : 9 And God said unto Abraham , Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore , thou , and thy seed after thee in their generations . |
17 : 10 This is my covenant , which ye shall keep , between me and you and thy seed after thee ; Every man child among you shall be circumcised . |
17 : 11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin ; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you . |
17 : 12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you , every man child in your generations , he that is born in the house , or bought with money of any stranger , which is not of thy seed . |
17 : 13 He that is born in thy house , and he that is bought with thy money , must needs be circumcised : and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant . |
17 : 14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised , that soul shall be cut off from his people ; he hath broken my covenant . |
17 : 15 And God said unto Abraham , As for Sarai thy wife , thou shalt not call her name Sarai , but Sarah shall her name be . |
17 : 16 And I will bless her , and give thee a son also of her : yea , I will bless her , and she shall be a mother of nations ; kings of people shall be of her . |
17 : 17 Then Abraham fell upon his face , and laughed , and said in his heart , Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old ? and shall Sarah , that is ninety years old , bear ? 17 : 18 And Abraham said unto God , O that Ishmael might live before thee ! 17 : 19 And God said , Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed ; and thou shalt call his name Isaac : and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant , and with his seed after him . |
17 : 20 And as for Ishmael , I have heard thee : Behold , I have blessed him , and will make him fruitful , and will multiply him exceedingly ; twelve princes shall he beget , and I will make him a great nation . |
17 : 21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac , which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year . |
17 : 22 And he left off talking with him , and God went up from Abraham . |
17 : 23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son , and all that were born in his house , and all that were bought with his money , every male among the men of Abraham ’ s house ; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day , as God had said unto him . |
17 : 24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine , when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin . |
17 : 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old , when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin . |
17 : 26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised , and Ishmael his son . |
17 : 27 And all the men of his house , born in the house , and bought with money of the stranger , were circumcised with him . |
18 : 1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre : and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day ; 18 : 2 And he lift up his eyes and looked , and , lo , three men stood by him : and when he saw them , he ran to meet them from the tent door , and bowed himself toward the ground , 18 : 3 And said , My LORD , if now I have found favour in thy sight , pass not away , I pray thee , from thy servant : 18 : 4 Let a little water , I pray you , be fetched , and wash your feet , and rest yourselves under the tree : 18 : 5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread , and comfort ye your hearts ; after that ye shall pass on : for therefore are ye come to your servant . And they said , So do , as thou hast said . |
18 : 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah , and said , Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal , knead it , and make cakes upon the hearth . |
18 : 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd , and fetcht a calf tender and good , and gave it unto a young man ; and he hasted to dress it . |
18 : 8 And he took butter , and milk , and the calf which he had dressed , and set it before them ; and he stood by them under the tree , and they did eat . |
18 : 9 And they said unto him , Where is Sarah thy wife ? And he said , Behold , in the tent . |
18 : 10 And he said , I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life ; and , lo , Sarah thy wife shall have a son . And Sarah heard it in the tent door , which was behind him . |
18 : 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age ; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women . |
18 : 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself , saying , After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure , my lord being old also ? 18 : 13 And the LORD said unto Abraham , Wherefore did Sarah laugh , saying , Shall I of a surety bear a child , which am old ? 18 : 14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD ? At the time appointed I will return unto thee , according to the time of life , and Sarah shall have a son . |
18 : 15 Then Sarah denied , saying , I laughed not ; for she was afraid . And he said , Nay ; but thou didst laugh . |
18 : 16 And the men rose up from thence , and looked toward Sodom : and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way . |
18 : 17 And the LORD said , Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do ; 18 : 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation , and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him ? |
18 : 19 For I know him , that he will command his children and his household after him , and they shall keep the way of the LORD , to do justice and judgment ; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him . |
18 : 20 And the LORD said , Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great , and because their sin is very grievous ; 18 : 21 I will go down now , and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it , which is come unto me ; and if not , I will know . |
18 : 22 And the men turned their faces from thence , and went toward Sodom : but Abraham stood yet before the LORD . |
18 : 23 And Abraham drew near , and said , Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked ? 18 : 24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city : wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein ? 18 : 25 That be far from thee to do after this manner , to slay the righteous with the wicked : and that the righteous should be as the wicked , that be far from thee : Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right ? 18 : 26 And the LORD said , If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city , then I will spare all the place for their sakes . |
18 : 27 And Abraham answered and said , Behold now , I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD , which am but dust and ashes : 18 : 28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous : wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five ? And he said , If I find there forty and five , I will not destroy it . |
18 : 29 And he spake unto him yet again , and said , Peradventure there shall be forty found there . And he said , I will not do it for forty ’ s sake . |
18 : 30 And he said unto him , Oh let not the LORD be angry , and I will speak : Peradventure there shall thirty be found there . And he said , I will not do it , if I find thirty there . |
18 : 31 And he said , Behold now , I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD : Peradventure there shall be twenty found there . And he said , I will not destroy it for twenty ’ s sake . |
18 : 32 And he said , Oh let not the LORD be angry , and I will speak yet but this once : Peradventure ten shall be found there . And he said , I will not destroy it for ten ’ s sake . |
18 : 33 And the LORD went his way , as soon as he had left communing with Abraham : and Abraham returned unto his place . |
19 : 1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even ; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom : and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them ; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground ; 19 : 2 And he said , Behold now , my lords , turn in , I pray you , into your servant ’ s house , and tarry all night , and wash your feet , and ye shall rise up early , and go on your ways . And they said , Nay ; but we will abide in the street all night . |
19 : 3 And he pressed upon them greatly ; and they turned in unto him , and entered into his house ; and he made them a feast , and did bake unleavened bread , and they did eat . |
19 : 4 But before they lay down , the men of the city , even the men of Sodom , compassed the house round , both old and young , all the people from every quarter : 19 : 5 And they called unto Lot , and said unto him , Where are the men which came in to thee this night ? bring them out unto us , that we may know them . |
19 : 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them , and shut the door after him , 19 : 7 And said , I pray you , brethren , do not so wickedly . |
19 : 8 Behold now , I have two daughters which have not known man ; let me , I pray you , bring them out unto you , and do ye to them as is good in your eyes : only unto these men do nothing ; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof . |
19 : 9 And they said , Stand back . And they said again , This one fellow came in to sojourn , and he will needs be a judge : now will we deal worse with thee , than with them . And they pressed sore upon the man , even Lot , and came near to break the door . |
19 : 10 But the men put forth their hand , and pulled Lot into the house to them , and shut to the door . |
19 : 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness , both small and great : so that they wearied themselves to find the door . |
19 : 12 And the men said unto Lot , Hast thou here any besides ? son in law , and thy sons , and thy daughters , and whatsoever thou hast in the city , bring them out of this place : 19 : 13 For we will destroy this place , because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD ; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it . |
19 : 14 And Lot went out , and spake unto his sons in law , which married his daughters , and said , Up , get you out of this place ; for the LORD will destroy this city . But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law . |
19 : 15 And when the morning arose , then the angels hastened Lot , saying , Arise , take thy wife , and thy two daughters , which are here ; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city . |
19 : 16 And while he lingered , the men laid hold upon his hand , and upon the hand of his wife , and upon the hand of his two daughters ; the LORD being merciful unto him : and they brought him forth , and set him without the city . |
19 : 17 And it came to pass , when they had brought them forth abroad , that he said , Escape for thy life ; look not behind thee , neither stay thou in all the plain ; escape to the mountain , lest thou be consumed . |
19 : 18 And Lot said unto them , Oh , not so , my LORD : 19 : 19 Behold now , thy servant hath found grace in thy sight , and thou hast magnified thy mercy , which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life ; and I cannot escape to the mountain , lest some evil take me , and I die : 19 : 20 Behold now , this city is near to flee unto , and it is a little one : Oh , let me escape thither , ( is it not a little one ? ) and my soul shall live . |
19 : 21 And he said unto him , See , I have accepted thee concerning this thing also , that I will not overthrow this city , for the which thou hast spoken . |
19 : 22 Haste thee , escape thither ; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither . Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar . |
19 : 23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar . |
19 : 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven ; 19 : 25 And he overthrew those cities , and all the plain , and all the inhabitants of the cities , and that which grew upon the ground . |
19 : 26 But his wife looked back from behind him , and she became a pillar of salt . |
19 : 27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD : 19 : 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah , and toward all the land of the plain , and beheld , and , lo , the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace . |
19 : 29 And it came to pass , when God destroyed the cities of the plain , that God remembered Abraham , and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow , when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt . |
19 : 30 And Lot went up out of Zoar , and dwelt in the mountain , and his two daughters with him ; for he feared to dwell in Zoar : and he dwelt in a cave , he and his two daughters . |
19 : 31 And the firstborn said unto the younger , Our father is old , and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth : 19 : 32 Come , let us make our father drink wine , and we will lie with him , that we may preserve seed of our father . |
19 : 33 And they made their father drink wine that night : and the firstborn went in , and lay with her father ; and he perceived not when she lay down , nor when she arose . |
19 : 34 And it came to pass on the morrow , that the firstborn said unto the younger , Behold , I lay yesternight with my father : let us make him drink wine this night also ; and go thou in , and lie with him , that we may preserve seed of our father . |
19 : 35 And they made their father drink wine that night also : and the younger arose , and lay with him ; and he perceived not when she lay down , nor when she arose . |
19 : 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father . |
19 : 37 And the first born bare a son , and called his name Moab : the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day . |
19 : 38 And the younger , she also bare a son , and called his name Benammi : the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day . |
20 : 1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country , and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur , and sojourned in Gerar . |
20 : 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife , She is my sister : and Abimelech king of Gerar sent , and took Sarah . |
20 : 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night , and said to him , Behold , thou art but a dead man , for the woman which thou hast taken ; for she is a man ’ s wife . |
20 : 4 But Abimelech had not come near her : and he said , LORD , wilt thou slay also a righteous nation ? 20 : 5 Said he not unto me , She is my sister ? and she , even she herself said , He is my brother : in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this . |
20 : 6 And God said unto him in a dream , Yea , I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart ; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me : therefore suffered I thee not to touch her . |
20 : 7 Now therefore restore the man his wife ; for he is a prophet , and he shall pray for thee , and thou shalt live : and if thou restore her not , know thou that thou shalt surely die , thou , and all that are thine . |
20 : 8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning , and called all his servants , and told all these things in their ears : and the men were sore afraid . |
20 : 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham , and said unto him , What hast thou done unto us ? and what have I offended thee , that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin ? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done . |
