which Lot dwelt.
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.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father isold, and there isnot a man in the earth
to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve
seed of our father.
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.
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, andlie
with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
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.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same isthe father of the
Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same isthe father of
the children of Ammon unto this day.
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh
and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She ismy sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and
took Sarah.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art buta dead
man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she isa man's wife.
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous
nation?
5 Said he not unto me, She ismy sister? and she, even she herself said, He ismy brother: in the
integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
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.
7 Now therefore restore the man hiswife; for he isa prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and
thou shalt live: and if thou restore hernot, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all
that arethine.
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.
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.
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God isnot in this place; and they
will slay me for my wife's sake.
12 And yet indeed she ismy sister; she isthe daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my
mother; and she became my wife.
13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto
her, This isthy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come,
say of me, He ismy brother.
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them

unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land isbefore thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand piecesof silver: behold,
he isto thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that arewith thee, and with all other: thus she was
reproved.
17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants;
and they bare children.
18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah
Abraham's wife.
1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had
spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him,
Isaac.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so thatall that hear will laugh with me.
7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck?
for I have born hima son in his old age.
8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the sameday that Isaac
was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
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, evenwith Isaac.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
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.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he isthy seed.
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it
unto Hagar, putting iton her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and
wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against hima good way off, as it were a bowshot: 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.
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.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
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.
20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of
Egypt.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host
spake unto Abraham, saying, God iswith thee in all that thou doest:
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: butaccording to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou

shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants
had violently taken away.
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.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a
covenant.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What meanthese seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by
themselves?
30 And he said, For theseseven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a
witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
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.
33 And Abrahamplanted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the
everlasting God.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him,
Abraham: and he said, Behold, hereI am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only sonIsaac, 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.
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.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
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.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid itupon Isaac his son; and he took
the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here amI, my son.
And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where isthe lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went
both of them together.
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.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he
said, Here amI.
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 sonfrom me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind hima 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.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said tothis day, In the
mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
