Genesis 12

1

And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.

2

And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.

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.

4

And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5

And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

6

And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

7

And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.

8

And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.

9

And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.

10

And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land.

11

And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.

12

And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.

13

Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.

14

And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

15

And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16

And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.

17

And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

18

And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

19

Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.

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, towards the south.

2

And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3

And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;

4

to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.

5

And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6

And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.

7

And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.

8

And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.

9

Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.

10

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.

11

And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:

12

Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.

13

And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.

14

And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

15

for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.

16

And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered.

17

Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.

18

Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.

Genesis 14

1

And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel the king of Shinar, Arioch the king of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations,

2

[that] they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

3

All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

4

Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

5

And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim,

6

and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.

7

And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar.

8

And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim,

9

with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar -- four kings with the five.

10

And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.

11

And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.

12

And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.

13

And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies.

14

And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his trained [servants], born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] as far as Dan.

15

And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus.

16

And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.

17

And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley.

18

And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High łGod.

19

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High łGod, possessor of heavens and earth.

20

And blessed be the Most High łGod, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.

21

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.

22

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High łGod, possessor of heavens and earth,

23

if from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take [anything] ...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich;

24

save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.

Genesis 15

1

After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram; I am thy shield, thy exceeding great reward.

2

And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.

3

And Abram said, Lo, to me thou hast given no seed, and behold, a son of my house will be mine heir.

4

And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir, but he that will come forth out of thy body shall be thine heir.

5

And he led him out, and said, Look now toward the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be!

6

And he believed Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him [as] righteousness.

7

And he said to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to possess it.

8

And he said, Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall possess it?

9

And he said to him, Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.

10

And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the half of each opposite its fellow; but the birds he did not divide.

11

And the birds of prey came down on the carcases; and Abram scared them away.

12

And as the sun was just going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, a horror, a great darkness, fell upon him.

13

And he said to Abram, Know assuredly that thy seed will be a sojourner in a land [that is] not theirs, and they shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.

14

But also that nation which they shall serve I will judge; and afterwards they shall come out with great property.

15

And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

16

And [in the] fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

17

And it came to pass when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, that behold, there was a smoking furnace, and a flame of fire which passed between those pieces.

18

On the same day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates;

19

the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

20

and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,

21

and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
