Exodus
The Second Book Of Moses
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of
the waters.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided
the
light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
Night.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of
the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Genesis 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which
were
under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament:
and it was
so.
Genesis 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and
the
morning were the second day.
Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be
gathered
together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Genesis 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering
together
of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind,
whose seed is
in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding
seed after
his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself,
after his
kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of
the
heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs,
and for
seasons, and for days, and years:
Genesis 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the
heaven to
give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to
rule the
day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Genesis 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give
light
upon the earth,
Genesis 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to
divide the
light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the
moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in
the open
firmament of heaven.
Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature
that
moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind,
and every
winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and
fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Genesis 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living
creature
after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth
after his
kind: and it was so.
Genesis 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and
cattle
after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after
his kind:
and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the
air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of
God
created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be
fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living
thing
that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb
bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the
which is the
fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Genesis 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of
the air,
and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is
life, I have
given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold,
it was
very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all
the host
of them.
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had
made; and
he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that
in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the
earth when
they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and
the
heavens,
Genesis 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth,
and
every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not
caused it to
rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Genesis 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the
whole
face of the ground.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living soul.
Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and
there he
put the man whom he had formed.
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every
tree that
is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also
in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and
from
thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Genesis 2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which
compasseth the
whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Genesis 2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium
and the
onyx stone.
Genesis 2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is
it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Genesis 2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it
which
goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the
garden of
Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every
tree of
the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt
not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt
surely die.
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man
should be
alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast
of the
field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see
what he
would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature,
that was
the name thereof.
Genesis 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of
the air,
and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an
help meet
for him.
Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,
and he
slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead
thereof;
Genesis 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,
made he a
woman, and brought her unto the man.
Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh
of my
flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,
and
shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and
were not
ashamed.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the
field
which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath
God said,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Genesis 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the
fruit of
the trees of the garden:
Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of
the
garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye
touch it, lest
ye die.
Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely
die:
Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
and that
it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one
wise, she
took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her
husband with
her; and he did eat.
Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew
that they
were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves
aprons.
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the
garden
in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from
the presence
of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him,
Where art
thou?
Genesis 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was
afraid,
because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Genesis 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast
thou
eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not
eat?
Genesis 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with
me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that
thou
hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did
eat.
Genesis 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou
hast done
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
field;
upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days
of thy
life:
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
between
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his
heel.
Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
desire
shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Genesis 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto
the
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded
thee,
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake;
in sorrow
shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Genesis 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;
and thou
shalt eat the herb of the field;
Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till
thou return
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art,
and unto
dust shalt thou return.
Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was
the mother
of all living.
Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make
coats of
skins, and clothed them.
Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one
of us,
to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take
also of
the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Genesis 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden
of Eden,
to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of
the
garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every
way, to keep
the way of the tree of life.
Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare
Cain,
and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Genesis 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a
keeper of
sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Genesis 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain
brought of the
fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Genesis 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock
and of
the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his
offering:
Genesis 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.
And Cain
was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Genesis 4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why
is thy
countenance fallen?
Genesis 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if
thou
doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his
desire, and
thou shalt rule over him.
Genesis 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to
pass, when
they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother,
and slew
him.
Genesis 4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?
And he
said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
Genesis 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy
brother's
blood crieth unto me from the ground.
Genesis 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath
opened her
mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
Genesis 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth
yield
unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in
the earth.
Genesis 4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater
than I
can bear.
Genesis 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face
of the
earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive
and a
vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one
that findeth
me shall slay me.
Genesis 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth
Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark
upon Cain,
lest any finding him should kill him.
Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and
dwelt in
the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Genesis 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare
Enoch: and
he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name
of his son,
Enoch.
Genesis 4:18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael:
and
Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
Genesis 4:19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one
was
Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Genesis 4:20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell
in
tents, and of such as have cattle.
Genesis 4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of
all such
as handle the harp and organ.
Genesis 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of
every
artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Genesis 4:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear
my voice;
ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man
to my
wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Genesis 4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech
seventy and
sevenfold.
Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and
called
his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed
instead of
Abel, whom Cain slew.
Genesis 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he
called
his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day
that God
created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and
called
their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a
son in
his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were
eight
hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and
thirty
years: and he died.
Genesis 5:6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
Genesis 5:7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and
seven
years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve
years: and
he died.
Genesis 5:9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
Genesis 5:10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and
fifteen
years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five
years: and
he died.
Genesis 5:12 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
Genesis 5:13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight
hundred and
forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten
years: and
he died.
Genesis 5:15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat
Jared:
Genesis 5:16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred
and
thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred
ninety and
five years: and he died.
Genesis 5:18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he
begat
Enoch:
Genesis 5:19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred
years, and
begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and
two
years: and he died.
Genesis 5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat
Methuselah:
Genesis 5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah
three
hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and
five
years:
Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took
him.
Genesis 5:25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years,
and
begat Lamech:
Genesis 5:26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven
hundred eighty
and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty
and nine
years: and he died.
Genesis 5:28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and
begat a
son:
Genesis 5:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall
comfort us
concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground
which the
LORD hath cursed.
Genesis 5:30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred
ninety and
five years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy
and seven
years: and he died.
Genesis 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat
Shem, Ham,
and Japheth.
Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the
face of
the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they
were
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive
with man,
for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and
twenty years.
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also
after
that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and
they bare
children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men
of renown.
Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil
continually.
Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the
earth, and
it grieved him at his heart.
Genesis 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from
the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing,
and the
fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Genesis 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man
and
perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Genesis 6:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth
was filled
with violence.
Genesis 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was
corrupt; for
all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come
before me;
for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I
will
destroy them with the earth.
Genesis 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make
in the
ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Genesis 6:15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of:
The length
of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty
cubits, and
the height of it thirty cubits.
Genesis 6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit
shalt thou
finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side
thereof;
with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon
the
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from
under heaven;
and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Genesis 6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou
shalt come
into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives
with thee.
Genesis 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every
sort shalt
thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be
male and
female.
Genesis 6:20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their
kind, of
every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort
shall come
unto thee, to keep them alive.
Genesis 6:21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and
thou
shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for
them.
Genesis 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him,
so did
he.
Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house
into
the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this
generation.
Genesis 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens,
the male
and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male
and his
female.
Genesis 7:3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the
female; to
keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the
earth
forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have
made will
I destroy from off the face of the earth.
Genesis 7:5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded
him.
Genesis 7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of
waters was
upon the earth.
Genesis 7:7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his
sons'
wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Genesis 7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and
of fowls,
and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
Genesis 7:9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the
male and
the female, as God had commanded Noah.
Genesis 7:10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters
of the
flood were upon the earth.
Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
month,
the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
fountains of the
great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty
nights.
Genesis 7:13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham,
and
Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of
his sons
with them, into the ark;
Genesis 7:14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the
cattle after
their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
after his
kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
Genesis 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of
all
flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
Genesis 7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all
flesh, as
God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Genesis 7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the
waters
increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
Genesis 7:18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly
upon the
earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth;
and all
the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
Genesis 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the
mountains
were covered.
Genesis 7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of
fowl, and
of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the
earth, and every man:
Genesis 7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all
that was
in the dry land, died.
Genesis 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon
the
face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things,
and the
fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah
only
remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
Genesis 7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and
fifty
days.
Genesis 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all
the
cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass
over the
earth, and the waters asswaged;
Genesis 8:2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven
were
stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
Genesis 8:3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually:
and
after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
Genesis 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the
seventeenth day
of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Genesis 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth
month: in
the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the
mountains
seen.
Genesis 8:6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah
opened
the window of the ark which he had made:
Genesis 8:7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,
until
the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Genesis 8:8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters
were
abated from off the face of the ground;
Genesis 8:9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and
she
returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of
the whole
earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in
unto him
into the ark.
Genesis 8:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent
forth the
dove out of the ark;
Genesis 8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in
her
mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters
were abated
from off the earth.
Genesis 8:12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the
dove;
which returned not again unto him any more.
Genesis 8:13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first
year, in the
first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up
from off the
earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and,
behold, the
face of the ground was dry.
Genesis 8:14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day
of the
month, was the earth dried.
Genesis 8:15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
Genesis 8:16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons,
and thy
sons' wives with thee.
Genesis 8:17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with
thee, of
all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing
that
creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the
earth, and be
fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
Genesis 8:18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and
his sons'
wives with him:
Genesis 8:19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and
whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth
out of the
ark.
Genesis 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of
every
clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on
the
altar.
Genesis 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said
in his
heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake;
for the
imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I
again smite
any more every thing living, as I have done.
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and
cold and
heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them,
Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Genesis 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon
every
beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that
moveth upon
the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are
they
delivered.
Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you;
even as
the green herb have I given you all things.
Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood
thereof,
shall ye not eat.
Genesis 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at
the hand
of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the
hand of every
man's brother will I require the life of man.
Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be
shed: for
in the image of God made he man.
Genesis 9:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth
abundantly in
the earth, and multiply therein.
Genesis 9:8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him,
saying,
Genesis 9:9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and
with your
seed after you;
Genesis 9:10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the
fowl,
of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all
that go out
of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
Genesis 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither
shall all
flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall
there any
more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Genesis 9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I
make
between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for
perpetual
generations:
Genesis 9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a
token of a
covenant between me and the earth.
Genesis 9:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over
the earth,
that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Genesis 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me
and you
and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more
become a
flood to destroy all flesh.
Genesis 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon
it,
that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every
living
creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Genesis 9:17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the
covenant,
which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the
earth.
Genesis 9:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were
Shem,
and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Genesis 9:19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the
whole
earth overspread.
Genesis 9:20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a
vineyard:
Genesis 9:21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was
uncovered
within his tent.
Genesis 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his
father,
and told his two brethren without.
Genesis 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon
both
their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of
their father;
and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's
nakedness.
Genesis 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger
son had
done unto him.
Genesis 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants
shall he
be unto his brethren.
Genesis 9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and
Canaan shall
be his servant.
Genesis 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the
tents of
Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Genesis 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
years.
Genesis 9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty
years: and
he died.
Genesis 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah,
Shem, Ham,
and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
Genesis 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and
Javan,
and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Genesis 10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and
Togarmah.
Genesis 10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim,
and
Dodanim.
Genesis 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in
their lands;
every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Genesis 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and
Canaan.
Genesis 10:7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah,
and
Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
Genesis 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in
the
earth.
Genesis 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is
said,
Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Genesis 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech,
and
Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Genesis 10:11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded
Nineveh, and
the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
Genesis 10:12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a
great city.
Genesis 10:13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and
Naphtuhim,
Genesis 10:14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came
Philistim,) and
Caphtorim.
Genesis 10:15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
Genesis 10:16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
Genesis 10:17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Genesis 10:18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite:
and
afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
Genesis 10:19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as
thou
comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah,
and
Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
Genesis 10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after
their
tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Genesis 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber,
the
brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
Genesis 10:22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad,
and Lud,
and Aram.
Genesis 10:23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and
Mash.
Genesis 10:24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was
Peleg;
for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was
Joktan.
Genesis 10:26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth,
and
Jerah,
Genesis 10:27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Genesis 10:28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Genesis 10:29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the
sons of
Joktan.
Genesis 10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto
Sephar a
mount of the east.
Genesis 10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families,
after their
tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Genesis 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after
their
generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided
in the
earth after the flood.
Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one
speech.
Genesis 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east,
that they
found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Genesis 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick,
and
burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had
they for
mortar.
Genesis 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a
tower, whose
top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be
scattered
abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Genesis 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,
which the
children of men builded.
Genesis 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they
have all
one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be
restrained
from them, which they have imagined to do.
Genesis 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their
language, that
they may not understand one another's speech.
Genesis 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the
face of
all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Genesis 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the
LORD did
there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did
the LORD
scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred
years
old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
Genesis 11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred
years, and
begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat
Salah:
Genesis 11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred
and three
years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
Genesis 11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and
three
years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
Genesis 11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and
thirty
years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
Genesis 11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and
nine years,
and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
Genesis 11:21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and
seven
years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
Genesis 11:23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred
years, and
begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
Genesis 11:25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and
nineteen
years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor,
and
Haran.
Genesis 11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat
Abram,
Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
Genesis 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of
his
nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Genesis 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of
Abram's wife
was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of
Haran, the
father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Genesis 11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Genesis 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran
his
son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and
they went
forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of
Canaan; and
they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Genesis 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years:
and
Terah died in Haran.
Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy
country,
and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that
I will
show thee:
Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will
bless thee,
and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him
that
curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be
blessed.
Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and
Lot
went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he
departed out
of Haran.
Genesis 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's
son, and
all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they
had gotten
in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and
into the land
of Canaan they came.
Genesis 12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of
Sichem,
unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Genesis 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy
seed will
I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who
appeared
unto him.
Genesis 12:8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east
of
Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on
the east:
and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the
name of the
LORD.
Genesis 12:9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
Genesis 12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went
down into
Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
Genesis 12:11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter
into
Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that
thou art a
fair woman to look upon:
Genesis 12:12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians
shall see
thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me,
but they
will save thee alive.
Genesis 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be
well with
me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
Genesis 12:14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into
Egypt, the
Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
Genesis 12:15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her
before
Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
Genesis 12:16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had
sheep,
and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she
asses, and
camels.
Genesis 12:17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great
plagues
because of Sarai Abram's wife.
Genesis 12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that
thou
hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Genesis 12:19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have
taken her
to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy
way.
Genesis 12:20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they
sent
him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Genesis 13:1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and
all that
he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
Genesis 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in
gold.
Genesis 13:3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to
Bethel, unto
the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel
and Hai;
Genesis 13:4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at
the
first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
Genesis 13:5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and
herds, and
tents.
Genesis 13:6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might
dwell
together: for their substance was great, so that they could not
dwell
together.
Genesis 13:7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's
cattle
and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite
dwelled
then in the land.
Genesis 13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray
thee,
between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we
be
brethren.
Genesis 13:9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I
pray
thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to
the right;
or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
Genesis 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain
of
Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD
destroyed Sodom
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of
Egypt, as thou
comest unto Zoar.
Genesis 13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot
journeyed
east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Genesis 13:12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled
in the
cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Genesis 13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before
the LORD
exceedingly.
Genesis 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was
separated
from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou
art
northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
Genesis 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give
it, and
to thy seed for ever.
Genesis 13:16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so
that if
a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be
numbered.
Genesis 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and
in the
breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
Genesis 13:18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the
plain
of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the
LORD.
Genesis 14:1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of
Shinar,
Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of
nations;
Genesis 14:2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with
Birsha
king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim,
and the
king of Bela, which is Zoar.
Genesis 14:3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim,
which is
the salt sea.
Genesis 14:4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the
thirteenth
year they rebelled.
Genesis 14:5 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,
Genesis 14:6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan,
which is by
the wilderness.
Genesis 14:7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is
Kadesh, and
smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that
dwelt in
Hazezontamar.
Genesis 14:8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of
Gomorrah,
and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela
(the same
is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
Genesis 14:9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king
of
nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar;
four kings
with five.
Genesis 14:10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the
kings of
Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled
to the
mountain.
Genesis 14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and
all
their victuals, and went their way.
Genesis 14:12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in
Sodom,
and his goods, and departed.
Genesis 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram
the
Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of
Eshcol, and
brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
Genesis 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken
captive, he
armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and
eighteen,
and pursued them unto Dan.
Genesis 14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and his
servants, by
night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the
left hand
of Damascus.
Genesis 14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought
again his
brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Genesis 14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his
return
from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with
him, at
the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and
wine:
and he was the priest of the most high God.
Genesis 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the
most
high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Genesis 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered
thine
enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Genesis 14:21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the
persons,
and take the goods to thyself.
Genesis 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up
mine hand
unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
Genesis 14:23 That I will not take from a thread even to a
shoelatchet, and
that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest
say, I have
made Abram rich:
Genesis 14:24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the
portion
of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them
take their
portion.
Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram
in a
vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding
great
reward.
Genesis 15:2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me,
seeing I go
childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
Genesis 15:3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed:
and, lo,
one born in my house is mine heir.
Genesis 15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him,
saying, This
shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine
own bowels
shall be thine heir.
Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now
toward
heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he
said unto
him, So shall thy seed be.
Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him
for
righteousness.
Genesis 15:7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee
out of Ur
of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
Genesis 15:8 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I
shall
inherit it?
Genesis 15:9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years
old, and
a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a
turtledove,
and a young pigeon.
Genesis 15:10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in
the midst,
and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he
not.
Genesis 15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram
drove
them away.
Genesis 15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell
upon Abram;
and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Genesis 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed
shall
be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them;
and they
shall afflict them four hundred years;
Genesis 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I
judge: and
afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Genesis 15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt
be
buried in a good old age.
Genesis 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither
again: for
the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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:
Genesis 15:19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Genesis 15:20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Genesis 15:21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the
Girgashites, and
the Jebusites.
Genesis 16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she
had an
handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 16:6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy
hand; do
to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her,
she fled
from her face.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 16:9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy
mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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?
Genesis 16:14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it
is
between Kadesh and Bered.
Genesis 16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's
name,
which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
Genesis 16:16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar
bare
Ishmael to Abram.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 17:2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and
will
multiply thee exceedingly.
Genesis 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him,
saying,
Genesis 17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou
shalt be
a father of many nations.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will
make
nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 17:9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant
therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin;
and it
shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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?
Genesis 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live
before
thee!
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which
Sarah shall
bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Genesis 17:22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from
Abraham.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 17:24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was
circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis 17:25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he
was
circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis 17:26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and
Ishmael his
son.
Genesis 17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and
bought
with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Genesis 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;
Genesis 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,
Genesis 18:3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy
sight,
pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Genesis 18:4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash
your feet,
and rest yourselves under the tree:
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 18:7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf
tender and
good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 18:9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he
said,
Behold, in the tent.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 18:12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After
I am
waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Genesis 18:13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah
laugh,
saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
Genesis 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.
Genesis 18:15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was
afraid.
And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Genesis 18:16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward
Sodom: and
Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Genesis 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that
thing which
I do;
Genesis 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?
Genesis 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.
Genesis 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and
Gomorrah is
great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Genesis 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.
Genesis 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went
toward
Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Genesis 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also
destroy the
righteous with the wicked?
Genesis 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?
Genesis 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?
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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:
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 18:33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left
communing
with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Genesis 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;
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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:
Genesis 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.
Genesis 19:6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the
door after
him,
Genesis 19:7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into
the
house to them, and shut to the door.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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:
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 19:18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
Genesis 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight,
and
thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in
saving my
life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me,
and I die:
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing
till
thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Genesis 19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into
Zoar.
Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
brimstone
and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Genesis 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.
Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she
became a
pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place
where he
stood before the LORD:
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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:
Genesis 19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will
lie with
him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by
their
father.
Genesis 19:37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name
Moab: the
same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south
country, and
dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Genesis 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister:
and
Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord,
wilt
thou slay also a righteous nation?
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou,
that thou
hast done this thing?
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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
show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is
my
brother.
Genesis 20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants,
and
womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah
his wife.
Genesis 20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee:
dwell
where it pleaseth thee.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech,
and his
wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
Genesis 20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the
house of
Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Genesis 21:1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD
did
unto Sarah as he had spoken.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born
unto him,
whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
Genesis 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days
old, as
God had commanded him.
Genesis 21:5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son
Isaac was
born unto him.
Genesis 21:6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all
that
hear will laugh with me.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a
great
feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
Genesis 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she
had born
unto Abraham, mocking.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight
because of
his son.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a
nation,
because he is thy seed.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast
the child
under one of the shrubs.
Genesis 21:16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand;
for I will
make him a great nation.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in
the
wilderness, and became an archer.
Genesis 21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his
mother took
him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Genesis 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:
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Genesis 21:25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of
water,
which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto
Abimelech;
and both of them made a covenant.
Genesis 21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by
themselves.
Genesis 21:29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven
ewe
lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because
there they
sware both of them.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 21:33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called
there on
the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
Genesis 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many
days.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and
saw the
place afar off.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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?
Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a
lamb for a
burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the
knife to
slay his son.
Genesis 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of
heaven, and
said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of
heaven
the second time,
Genesis 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:
Genesis 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;
Genesis 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed;
because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Genesis 22:19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose
up and
went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Genesis 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;
Genesis 22:21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the
father
of Aram,
Genesis 22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and
Bethuel.
Genesis 22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear
to
Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Genesis 22:24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare
also Tebah,
and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Genesis 23:1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years
old: these
were the years of the life of Sarah.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 23:3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake
unto the
sons of Heth, saying,
Genesis 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.
Genesis 23:5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto
him,
Genesis 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.
Genesis 23:7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people
of the
land, even to the children of Heth.
Genesis 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 entreat for me to
Ephron the
son of Zohar,
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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,
Genesis 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.
Genesis 23:12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of
the land.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 24:1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the
LORD had
blessed Abraham in all things.
Genesis 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:
Genesis 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:
Genesis 24:4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred,
and take
a wife unto my son Isaac.
Genesis 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?
Genesis 24:6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring
not my
son thither again.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham
his
master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 24:12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray
thee,
send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master
Abraham.
Genesis 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:
Genesis 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
showed kindness unto my master.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I
pray
thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
Genesis 24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let
down her
pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 24:21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit
whether
the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
Genesis 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;
Genesis 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?
Genesis 24:24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel
the son of
Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
Genesis 24:25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and
provender
enough, and room to lodge in.
Genesis 24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the
LORD.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 24:28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's
house these
things.
Genesis 24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and
Laban
ran out unto the man, unto the well.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 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.
Genesis 24:34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
Genesis 24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is
become
great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and
gold, and
menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Genesis 24:36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master
when she
was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
Genesis 24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not
take a
wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I
dwell:
Genesis 24:38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my
kindred,
and take a wife unto my son.
Genesis 24:39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will
not
follow me.
Genesis 24:40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk,
will send
his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife
for my
son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
Genesis 24:41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou
comest
to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear
from my
oath.
Genesis 24:42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD
God of my
master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
Genesis 24:43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall
come to
pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to
her, Give
me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Genesis 24:44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also
draw for
thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed
out for my
master's son.
Genesis 24:45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold,
Rebekah
came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto
the well,
and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
Genesis 24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her
shoulder
, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I
drank, and she
made the camels drink also.
Genesis 24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou?
And she
said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto
him: and I
put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
Genesis 24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and
blessed
the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way
to take
my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
Genesis 24:49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my
master, tell
me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to
the left.
Genesis 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing
proceedeth
from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Genesis 24:51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and
let her
be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
Genesis 24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant
heard their
words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
Genesis 24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and
jewels of
gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her
brother and
to her mother precious things.
Genesis 24:54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were
with him,
and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said,
Send me
away unto my master.
Genesis 24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel
abide with
us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
Genesis 24:56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD
hath
prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
Genesis 24:57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at
her
mouth.
Genesis 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou
go with
this man? And she said, I will go.
Genesis 24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her
nurse, and
Abraham's servant, and his men.
Genesis 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art
our
sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy
seed possess
the gate of those which hate them.
Genesis 24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon
the
camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went
his way.
Genesis 24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for
he dwelt
in the south country.
Genesis 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the
eventide:
and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were
coming.
Genesis 24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw
Isaac, she
lighted off the camel.
Genesis 24:65 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this
that
walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my
master:
therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.
Genesis 24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had
done.
Genesis 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent,
and took
Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was
comforted
after his mother's death.
Genesis 25:1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was
Keturah.
Genesis 25:2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and
Midian,
and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Genesis 25:3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of
Dedan were
Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Genesis 25:4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch,
and
Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Genesis 25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
Genesis 25:6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had,
Abraham
gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet
lived,
eastward, unto the east country.
Genesis 25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life
which he
lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
Genesis 25:8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old
age, an
old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
Genesis 25:9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave
of
Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,
which is
before Mamre;
Genesis 25:10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth:
there
was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
Genesis 25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that
God
blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
Genesis 25:12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's
son, whom
Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
Genesis 25:13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by
their
names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael,
Nebajoth; and
Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Genesis 25:14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Genesis 25:15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Genesis 25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their
names, by
their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their
nations.
Genesis 25:17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an
hundred and
thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was
gathered
unto his peopl
