20 : 10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham , What sawest thou , that thou hast done this thing ? 20 : 11 And Abraham said , Because I thought , Surely the fear of God is not in this place ; and they will slay me for my wife ’ s sake . |
20 : 12 And yet indeed she is my sister ; she is the daughter of my father , but not the daughter of my mother ; and she became my wife . |
20 : 13 And it came to pass , when God caused me to wander from my father ’ s house , that I said unto her , This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me ; at every place whither we shall come , say of me , He is my brother . |
20 : 14 And Abimelech took sheep , and oxen , and menservants , and womenservants , and gave them unto Abraham , and restored him Sarah his wife . |
20 : 15 And Abimelech said , Behold , my land is before thee : dwell where it pleaseth thee . |
20 : 16 And unto Sarah he said , Behold , I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver : behold , he is to thee a covering of the eyes , unto all that are with thee , and with all other : thus she was reproved . |
20 : 17 So Abraham prayed unto God : and God healed Abimelech , and his wife , and his maidservants ; and they bare children . |
20 : 18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech , because of Sarah Abraham ’ s wife . |
21 : 1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said , and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken . |
21 : 2 For Sarah conceived , and bare Abraham a son in his old age , at the set time of which God had spoken to him . |
21 : 3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him , whom Sarah bare to him , Isaac . |
21 : 4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old , as God had commanded him . |
21 : 5 And Abraham was an hundred years old , when his son Isaac was born unto him . |
21 : 6 And Sarah said , God hath made me to laugh , so that all that hear will laugh with me . |
21 : 7 And she said , Who would have said unto Abraham , that Sarah should have given children suck ? for I have born him a son in his old age . |
21 : 8 And the child grew , and was weaned : and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned . |
21 : 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian , which she had born unto Abraham , mocking . |
21 : 10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham , Cast out this bondwoman and her son : for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son , even with Isaac . |
21 : 11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham ’ s sight because of his son . |
21 : 12 And God said unto Abraham , Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad , and because of thy bondwoman ; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee , hearken unto her voice ; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called . |
21 : 13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation , because he is thy seed . |
21 : 14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning , and took bread , and a bottle of water , and gave it unto Hagar , putting it on her shoulder , and the child , and sent her away : and she departed , and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba . |
21 : 15 And the water was spent in the bottle , and she cast the child under one of the shrubs . |
21 : 16 And she went , and sat her down over against him a good way off , as it were a bow shot : for she said , Let me not see the death of the child . And she sat over against him , and lift up her voice , and wept . |
21 : 17 And God heard the voice of the lad ; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven , and said unto her , What aileth thee , Hagar ? fear not ; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is . |
21 : 18 Arise , lift up the lad , and hold him in thine hand ; for I will make him a great nation . |
21 : 19 And God opened her eyes , and she saw a well of water ; and she went , and filled the bottle with water , and gave the lad drink . |
21 : 20 And God was with the lad ; and he grew , and dwelt in the wilderness , and became an archer . |
21 : 21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran : and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt . |
21 : 22 And it came to pass at that time , that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham , saying , God is with thee in all that thou doest : 21 : 23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me , nor with my son , nor with my son ’ s son : but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee , thou shalt do unto me , and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned . |
21 : 24 And Abraham said , I will swear . |
21 : 25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water , which Abimelech ’ s servants had violently taken away . |
21 : 26 And Abimelech said , I wot not who hath done this thing ; neither didst thou tell me , neither yet heard I of it , but to day . |
21 : 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen , and gave them unto Abimelech ; and both of them made a covenant . |
21 : 28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves . |
21 : 29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham , What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves ? 21 : 30 And he said , For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand , that they may be a witness unto me , that I have digged this well . |
21 : 31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba ; because there they sware both of them . |
21 : 32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba : then Abimelech rose up , and Phichol the chief captain of his host , and they returned into the land of the Philistines . |
21 : 33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba , and called there on the name of the LORD , the everlasting God . |
21 : 34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines ’ land many days . |
22 : 1 And it came to pass after these things , that God did tempt Abraham , and said unto him , Abraham : and he said , Behold , here I am . |
22 : 2 And he said , Take now thy son , thine only son Isaac , whom thou lovest , and get thee into the land of Moriah ; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of . |
22 : 3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning , and saddled his ass , and took two of his young men with him , and Isaac his son , and clave the wood for the burnt offering , and rose up , and went unto the place of which God had told him . |
22 : 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes , and saw the place afar off . |
22 : 5 And Abraham said unto his young men , Abide ye here with the ass ; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship , and come again to you . |
22 : 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering , and laid it upon Isaac his son ; and he took the fire in his hand , and a knife ; and they went both of them together . |
22 : 7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father , and said , My father : and he said , Here am I , my son . And he said , Behold the fire and the wood : but where is the lamb for a burnt offering ? 22 : 8 And Abraham said , My son , God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering : so they went both of them together . |
22 : 9 And they came to the place which God had told him of ; and Abraham built an altar there , and laid the wood in order , and bound Isaac his son , and laid him on the altar upon the wood . |
22 : 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand , and took the knife to slay his son . |
22 : 11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven , and said , Abraham , Abraham : and he said , Here am I . |
22 : 12 And he said , Lay not thine hand upon the lad , neither do thou any thing unto him : for now I know that thou fearest God , seeing thou hast not withheld thy son , thine only son from me . |
22 : 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes , and looked , and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns : and Abraham went and took the ram , and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son . |
22 : 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh : as it is said to this day , In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen . |
22 : 15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time , 22 : 16 And said , By myself have I sworn , saith the LORD , for because thou hast done this thing , and hast not withheld thy son , thine only son : 22 : 17 That in blessing I will bless thee , and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven , and as the sand which is upon the sea shore ; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies ; 22 : 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed ; because thou hast obeyed my voice . |
22 : 19 So Abraham returned unto his young men , and they rose up and went together to Beersheba ; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba . |
22 : 20 And it came to pass after these things , that it was told Abraham , saying , Behold , Milcah , she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor ; 22 : 21 Huz his firstborn , and Buz his brother , and Kemuel the father of Aram , 22 : 22 And Chesed , and Hazo , and Pildash , and Jidlaph , and Bethuel . |
22 : 23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah : these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor , Abraham ’ s brother . |
22 : 24 And his concubine , whose name was Reumah , she bare also Tebah , and Gaham , and Thahash , and Maachah . |
23 : 1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old : these were the years of the life of Sarah . |
23 : 2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba ; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan : and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah , and to weep for her . |
23 : 3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead , and spake unto the sons of Heth , saying , 23 : 4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you : give me a possession of a buryingplace with you , that I may bury my dead out of my sight . |
23 : 5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham , saying unto him , 23 : 6 Hear us , my lord : thou art a mighty prince among us : in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead ; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre , but that thou mayest bury thy dead . |
23 : 7 And Abraham stood up , and bowed himself to the people of the land , even to the children of Heth . |
23 : 8 And he communed with them , saying , If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight ; hear me , and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar , 23 : 9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah , which he hath , which is in the end of his field ; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you . |
23 : 10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth : and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth , even of all that went in at the gate of his city , saying , 23 : 11 Nay , my lord , hear me : the field give I thee , and the cave that is therein , I give it thee ; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee : bury thy dead . |
23 : 12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land . |
23 : 13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land , saying , But if thou wilt give it , I pray thee , hear me : I will give thee money for the field ; take it of me , and I will bury my dead there . |
23 : 14 And Ephron answered Abraham , saying unto him , 23 : 15 My lord , hearken unto me : the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver ; what is that betwixt me and thee ? bury therefore thy dead . |
23 : 16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron ; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver , which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth , four hundred shekels of silver , current money with the merchant . |
23 : 17 And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah , which was before Mamre , the field , and the cave which was therein , and all the trees that were in the field , that were in all the borders round about , were made sure 23 : 18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth , before all that went in at the gate of his city . |
23 : 19 And after this , Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre : the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan . |
23 : 20 And the field , and the cave that is therein , were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth . |
24 : 1 And Abraham was old , and well stricken in age : and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things . |
24 : 2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house , that ruled over all that he had , Put , I pray thee , thy hand under my thigh : 24 : 3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD , the God of heaven , and the God of the earth , that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites , among whom I dwell : 24 : 4 But thou shalt go unto my country , and to my kindred , and take a wife unto my son Isaac . |
24 : 5 And the servant said unto him , Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land : must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest ? 24 : 6 And Abraham said unto him , Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again . |
24 : 7 The LORD God of heaven , which took me from my father ’ s house , and from the land of my kindred , and which spake unto me , and that sware unto me , saying , Unto thy seed will I give this land ; he shall send his angel before thee , and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence . |
24 : 8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee , then thou shalt be clear from this my oath : only bring not my son thither again . |
24 : 9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master , and sware to him concerning that matter . |
24 : 10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master , and departed ; for all the goods of his master were in his hand : and he arose , and went to Mesopotamia , unto the city of Nahor . |
24 : 11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening , even the time that women go out to draw water . |
24 : 12 And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham , I pray thee , send me good speed this day , and shew kindness unto my master Abraham . |
24 : 13 Behold , I stand here by the well of water ; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water : 24 : 14 And let it come to pass , that the damsel to whom I shall say , Let down thy pitcher , I pray thee , that I may drink ; and she shall say , Drink , and I will give thy camels drink also : let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac ; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master . |
24 : 15 And it came to pass , before he had done speaking , that , behold , Rebekah came out , who was born to Bethuel , son of Milcah , the wife of Nahor , Abraham ’ s brother , with her pitcher upon her shoulder . |
24 : 16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon , a virgin , neither had any man known her : and she went down to the well , and filled her pitcher , and came up . |
24 : 17 And the servant ran to meet her , and said , Let me , I pray thee , drink a little water of thy pitcher . |
24 : 18 And she said , Drink , my lord : and she hasted , and let down her pitcher upon her hand , and gave him drink . |
24 : 19 And when she had done giving him drink , she said , I will draw water for thy camels also , until they have done drinking . |
24 : 20 And she hasted , and emptied her pitcher into the trough , and ran again unto the well to draw water , and drew for all his camels . |
24 : 21 And the man wondering at her held his peace , to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not . |
24 : 22 And it came to pass , as the camels had done drinking , that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight , and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold ; 24 : 23 And said , Whose daughter art thou ? tell me , I pray thee : is there room in thy father ’ s house for us to lodge in ? 24 : 24 And she said unto him , I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah , which she bare unto Nahor . |
24 : 25 She said moreover unto him , We have both straw and provender enough , and room to lodge in . |
24 : 26 And the man bowed down his head , and worshipped the LORD . |
24 : 27 And he said , Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham , who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth : I being in the way , the LORD led me to the house of my master ’ s brethren . |
24 : 28 And the damsel ran , and told them of her mother ’ s house these things . |
24 : 29 And Rebekah had a brother , and his name was Laban : and Laban ran out unto the man , unto the well . |
24 : 30 And it came to pass , when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister ’ s hands , and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister , saying , Thus spake the man unto me ; that he came unto the man ; and , behold , he stood by the camels at the well . |
24 : 31 And he said , Come in , thou blessed of the LORD ; wherefore standest thou without ? for I have prepared the house , and room for the camels . |
24 : 32 And the man came into the house : and he ungirded his camels , and gave straw and provender for the camels , and water to wash his feet , and the men ’ s feet that were with him . |
24 : 33 And there was set meat before him to eat : but he said , I will not eat , until I have told mine errand . And he said , Speak on . |
24 : 34 And he said , I am Abraham ’ s servant . |
