 GENESIS - KING JAMES BIBLE

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 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
