mkjv@Genesis:1:3 @ And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.
mkjv@Genesis:1:4 @ And God saw the light that [it was] good. And God divided between the light and the darkness.
mkjv@Genesis:1:5 @ And God called the light, Day. And He called the darkness, Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
mkjv@Genesis:1:6 @ And God said, Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters [from] the waters.
mkjv@Genesis:1:7 @ And God made the expanse, and divided the waters which [were] under the expanse from the waters which [were] above the expanse; and it was so.
mkjv@Genesis:1:8 @ And God called the expanse, Heavens. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
mkjv@Genesis:1:9 @ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so.
mkjv@Genesis:1:10 @ And God called the dry land, Earth. And He called the gathering together of the waters, Seas. And God saw that [it was] good.
mkjv@Genesis:1:11 @ And God said, Let the earth bring forth tender sprouts ( the] herb seeding seed [and] the fruit tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed [is] in itself) upon the earth; and it was so.
mkjv@Genesis:1:12 @ And the earth brought forth tender sprouts, [the] herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed [was] in itself. And God saw that [it was] good.
mkjv@Genesis:1:13 @ And the evening and the morning were the third day.
mkjv@Genesis:1:14 @ And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years,
mkjv@Genesis:1:15 @ And let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth. And it was so.
mkjv@Genesis:1:16 @ And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night, and the stars [also.]
mkjv@Genesis:1:17 @ And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,
mkjv@Genesis:1:18 @ and to rule over the day and over the night; and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that [it was] good.
mkjv@Genesis:1:19 @ And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
mkjv@Genesis:1:20 @ And God said, Let the waters swarm [with] swarmers [having] a living soul; and let birds fly over the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.
mkjv@Genesis:1:21 @ And God created great sea-animals, and every living soul that creeps [with] which the waters swarmed after their kind; and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that [it was] good.
mkjv@Genesis:1:22 @ And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters of the seas and let the fowl multiply in the earth.
mkjv@Genesis:1:23 @ And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

mkjv@Genesis:1:27 @ And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female.
mkjv@Genesis:1:28 @ And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.
mkjv@Genesis:1:29 @ And God said, Behold! I have given you every herb seeding seed which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is the] fruit of a tree seeding seed; to you it shall be for food.
mkjv@Genesis:1:30 @ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which [has] in it a living soul every green plant [is] for food; and it was so.
mkjv@Genesis:1:31 @ And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
mkjv@Genesis:10:1 @ Now these are [the] generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

mkjv@Genesis:10:8 @ And Cush fathered Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.
mkjv@Genesis:10:9 @ He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
mkjv@Genesis:10:10 @ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
mkjv@Genesis:10:11 @ Out of that land he went forth [to] Assyria. And he built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
mkjv@Genesis:10:12 @ and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which [is] a great city.
mkjv@Genesis:10:13 @ And Mizraim fathered Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim,
mkjv@Genesis:10:14 @ and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.
mkjv@Genesis:10:15 @ And Canaan fathered Sidon, his first-born, and Heth,
mkjv@Genesis:10:16 @ and the Jebusite and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
mkjv@Genesis:10:17 @ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
mkjv@Genesis:10:18 @ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
mkjv@Genesis:10:19 @ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon (as you come to Gerar) to Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, even to Lasha.
mkjv@Genesis:10:20 @ These [were] the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
mkjv@Genesis:10:21 @ And to Shem were born, even him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

mkjv@Genesis:10:24 @ And Arpachshad fathered Salah; and Salah fathered Eber.
mkjv@Genesis:10:25 @ And two sons were born to Eber. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. And his brother's name [was] Joktan.
mkjv@Genesis:10:26 @ And Joktan fathered Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah,
mkjv@Genesis:10:27 @ and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah,
mkjv@Genesis:10:28 @ and Obal and Abimael and Sheba,
mkjv@Genesis:10:29 @ and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab. All these [were] the sons of Joktan.
mkjv@Genesis:10:30 @ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, a mountain of the east.
mkjv@Genesis:10:31 @ These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, and after their nations.
mkjv@Genesis:10:32 @ These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
mkjv@Genesis:11:1 @ And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
mkjv@Genesis:11:2 @ And it happened, as they traveled from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar. And they lived there.
mkjv@Genesis:11:3 @ And they said to one another, Come, let us make brick and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
mkjv@Genesis:11:4 @ And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower, and its top in the heavens. And let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered upon the face of the whole earth.
mkjv@Genesis:11:5 @ And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of Adam had built.
mkjv@Genesis:11:6 @ And the LORD said, Behold! The people [is] one and they all have one language. And this they begin to do. And now nothing which they have imagined to do will be restrained from them.
mkjv@Genesis:11:7 @ Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they cannot understand one another's speech.
mkjv@Genesis:11:8 @ So the LORD scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of all the earth. And they quit building the city.
mkjv@Genesis:11:9 @ Therefore the name of it is called Babel; because the LORD confused the language of all the earth there. And from there the LORD scattered them abroad on the face of all the earth.
mkjv@Genesis:11:10 @ These are the generations of Shem. Shem [was] a hundred years old and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood.

mkjv@Genesis:11:27 @ Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot.
mkjv@Genesis:11:28 @ And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
mkjv@Genesis:11:29 @ And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. 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.
mkjv@Genesis:11:30 @ But Sarai was barren. She had no child.
mkjv@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 he went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and lived there.
mkjv@Genesis:11:32 @ And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.
mkjv@Genesis:12:1 @ And the LORD said to Abram, Go out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house into a land that I will show you.
mkjv@Genesis:12:2 @ And I will make you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you shall be a blessing.
mkjv@Genesis:12:3 @ And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you. And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
mkjv@Genesis:12:4 @ And Abram departed, even as the LORD had spoken to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
mkjv@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 gained in Haran. And they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. And they came into the land of Canaan.
mkjv@Genesis:12:6 @ And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, unto the Oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.
mkjv@Genesis:12:7 @ And the LORD appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your seed. And he built an altar there to the LORD who appeared to him.
mkjv@Genesis:12:8 @ And he moved from there to a mountain on the east of Bethel. And he pitched his tent [with] Bethel toward the sea and Hai on the east. And he built an altar there to the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
mkjv@Genesis:12:9 @ And Abram journeyed, going on and pulled up [stakes] toward the south.
mkjv@Genesis:12:10 @ And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to stay there, for the famine [was] grievous in the land.
mkjv@Genesis:12:11 @ And it happened, when he had come near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon.
mkjv@Genesis:12:12 @ And it will be when the Egyptians see you, they shall say, This [is] his wife. And they will kill me, but they will save you alive.
mkjv@Genesis:12:13 @ I pray you, say that you [are] my sister, so that it may be well with me for your sake. And my soul shall live because of you.
mkjv@Genesis:12:14 @ And it happened when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman [was] very beautiful.
mkjv@Genesis:12:15 @ The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her before Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

mkjv@Genesis:12:17 @ And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
mkjv@Genesis:12:18 @ And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What [is] this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she [is] your wife?
mkjv@Genesis:12:19 @ Why did you say, She [is] my sister? And so I was about to take her to me as wife. Now therefore behold your wife. Take [her] and go.
mkjv@Genesis:12:20 @ And Pharaoh commanded men concerning him. And they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
mkjv@Genesis:13:1 @ And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, (and Lot was with him) into the south.
mkjv@Genesis:13:2 @ And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold.

mkjv@Genesis:13:4 @ to the place of the altar which he had made there at the first. And Abram called on the name of the LORD there.
mkjv@Genesis:13:5 @ And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
mkjv@Genesis:13:6 @ And the land was not able to bear them, that they might live together. For their substance was great, so that they could not live together.
mkjv@Genesis:13:7 @ And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived then in the land.
mkjv@Genesis:13:8 @ And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we [are] men, brothers.
mkjv@Genesis:13:9 @ [Is] not the whole land before you? I pray you, separate yourself from me. If [you go] to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if [you go] to the right, then I will go to the left.
mkjv@Genesis:13:10 @ And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the circuit of Jordan, that it [was] all well watered (before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you come to Zoar.
mkjv@Genesis:13:11 @ And Lot chose all the circuit of Jordan for himself. And Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves from one another.
mkjv@Genesis:13:12 @ Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the circuit and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.
mkjv@Genesis:13:13 @ But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD, exceedingly so.
mkjv@Genesis:13:14 @ And after Lot was separated from him, the LORD said to Abram, Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are northward and southward, and eastward and westward.
mkjv@Genesis:13:15 @ For all the land which you see I will give to you, and to your seed forever.
mkjv@Genesis:13:16 @ And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be counted.
mkjv@Genesis:13:17 @ Rise up and walk through the land, in the length of it and in the breadth of it, for I will give it to you.
mkjv@Genesis:13:18 @ And Abram moved [his] tent and came and lived in the oaks of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron. And he built an altar to the LORD there.
mkjv@Genesis:14:1 @ And it happened in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations,
mkjv@Genesis:14:2 @ they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
mkjv@Genesis:14:3 @ All these were joined together in the valley of Siddim, which is the Salt Sea.

mkjv@Genesis:14:7 @ And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
mkjv@Genesis:14:8 @ And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela (which [is] Zoar). And they joined battle with them in the valley of Siddim;
mkjv@Genesis:14:9 @ with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar, four kings with five.
mkjv@Genesis:14:10 @ And the valley of Siddim [was] full of asphalt pits. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
mkjv@Genesis:14:11 @ And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.
mkjv@Genesis:14:12 @ And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and all his goods, and went away.
mkjv@Genesis:14:13 @ And there came one who had escaped. And he told Abram the Hebrew, for he lived in the plains of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. And these had a covenant with Abram.
mkjv@Genesis:14:14 @ And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained servants, born in his own house (three hundred and eighteen) and pursued them to Daniel.
mkjv@Genesis:14:15 @ And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants. And he struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which [is] on the left of Damascus.

mkjv@Genesis:14:20 @ And blessed [be] the most high God, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
mkjv@Genesis:14:21 @ And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the people and take the goods for yourself.
mkjv@Genesis:14:22 @ And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of Heaven and earth,
mkjv@Genesis:14:23 @ that I will take from all that is yours, [not] from a thread even to a shoestring, lest you say, I have made Abram rich.
mkjv@Genesis:14:24 @ Nothing for me, only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
mkjv@Genesis:15:1 @ After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I [am] your shield and your exceeding great reward.
mkjv@Genesis:15:2 @ And Abram said, Lord God, what will You give me, since I [am] going childless, and the steward of my house [is] this Eliezer of Damascus?
mkjv@Genesis:15:3 @ And Abram said, Behold, You have given no seed to me. And behold, one born in my house is my heir.
mkjv@Genesis:15:4 @ And behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him saying, This one shall not be your heir. But he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.
mkjv@Genesis:15:5 @ And He brought him outside and said, Look now toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, So shall your seed be.
mkjv@Genesis:15:6 @ And he believed in the LORD. And He counted it to him for righteousness.
mkjv@Genesis:15:7 @ And He said to him, I [am] the LORD that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.
mkjv@Genesis:15:8 @ And he said, Lord God, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?
mkjv@Genesis:15:9 @ 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 turtledove, and a young pigeon.
mkjv@Genesis:15:10 @ And he took all these to himself, and divided them in the middle, and laid each piece against one another; but he did not divide the birds.
mkjv@Genesis:15:11 @ And when the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
mkjv@Genesis:15:12 @ And it happened as the sun was setting, and a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And, behold, a horror of great darkness fell upon him!
mkjv@Genesis:15:13 @ And He said to Abram, You must surely know that your seed shall be a stranger in a land not theirs, and shall serve them. And they shall afflict them four hundred years.
mkjv@Genesis:15:14 @ And also I will judge that nation whom they shall serve. And afterward they shall come out with great substance.
mkjv@Genesis:15:15 @ And you shall go to your fathers in peace. You shall be buried in a good old age.
mkjv@Genesis:15:16 @ But in the fourth generation they shall come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
mkjv@Genesis:15:17 @ And it happened, the sun went down, and it was dark [and] behold, a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp passed between those pieces.
mkjv@Genesis:15:18 @ In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, I have given this land to your seed, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,
mkjv@Genesis:15:19 @ the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
mkjv@Genesis:15:20 @ and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the giants,
mkjv@Genesis:15:21 @ and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
mkjv@Genesis:16:1 @ Now Sarai, Abram's wife, did not bear. And she had a female slave, an Egyptian, and her name [was] Hagar.
mkjv@Genesis:16:2 @ And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, the LORD has kept me from bearing. I pray you, go in to my slave woman. It may be that I may be built by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
mkjv@Genesis:16:3 @ And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her slave woman, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife (after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan).
mkjv@Genesis:16:4 @ And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
mkjv@Genesis:16:5 @ And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong [be] upon you. I have given my slave woman into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. The LORD judge between me and you.
mkjv@Genesis:16:6 @ But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your slave woman [is] in your hand. Do to her as it pleases you. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
mkjv@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.
mkjv@Genesis:16:8 @ And He said, Hagar, Sarai's slave, where did you come from? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
mkjv@Genesis:16:9 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her hands.
mkjv@Genesis:16:10 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, so that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
mkjv@Genesis:16:11 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction.
mkjv@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 live in the presence of all his brothers.
mkjv@Genesis:16:13 @ And she called the name of the LORD who had spoken to her, You [are] a God of vision! For she said, Even here have I looked after Him that sees me?
mkjv@Genesis:16:14 @ Therefore the well was called The Well of the Living One Seeing Me. Behold, [it is] between Kadesh and Bered.
mkjv@Genesis:16:15 @ And Hagar bore Abram a son. And Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael.
mkjv@Genesis:16:16 @ And Abram [was] eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
mkjv@Genesis:17:1 @ And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, I [am] the Almighty God! Walk before Me and be perfect.
mkjv@Genesis:17:2 @ And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.
mkjv@Genesis:17:3 @ And Abram fell on his face. And God talked with him, saying,
mkjv@Genesis:17:4 @ As for Me, behold! My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
mkjv@Genesis:17:5 @ Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham. For I have made you a father of many nations.
mkjv@Genesis:17:6 @ And I will make you exceedingly fruitful, greatly so, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.
mkjv@Genesis:17:7 @ And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
mkjv@Genesis:17:8 @ And I will give the land to you in which you are a stranger, and to your seed after you, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. And I will be their God.
mkjv@Genesis:17:9 @ And God said to Abraham, And you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you in their generations.
mkjv@Genesis:17:10 @ This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you. Every male child among you shall be circumcised.
mkjv@Genesis:17:11 @ And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. And it shall be a token of the covenant between Me and you.
mkjv@Genesis:17:12 @ And a son of eight days shall be circumcised among you, every male child in your generations; he that is born in the house, or bought with silver of any stranger who [is] not of your seed.
mkjv@Genesis:17:13 @ He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your silver, must be circumcised. And My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
mkjv@Genesis:17:14 @ And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.
mkjv@Genesis:17:15 @ And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name [shall be] Sarah.
mkjv@Genesis:17:16 @ And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her. Yes, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations, kings of people shall be from her.
mkjv@Genesis:17:17 @ And Abraham fell upon his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
mkjv@Genesis:17:18 @ And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before You!
mkjv@Genesis:17:19 @ And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed. And you shall call his name Isaac. And I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
mkjv@Genesis:17:20 @ And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
mkjv@Genesis:17:21 @ But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year.
mkjv@Genesis:17:22 @ And He left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
mkjv@Genesis:17:23 @ And Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his silver; every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins in the same day, even as God said to him.
mkjv@Genesis:17:24 @ And Abraham [was] ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
mkjv@Genesis:17:25 @ And his son Ishmael [was] thirteen years old [when] he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
mkjv@Genesis:17:26 @ In the same day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.
mkjv@Genesis:17:27 @ And all the men of his house, that were born in the house, and bought with silver of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
mkjv@Genesis:18:1 @ And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre, and he sat at the tent door in the heat of the day.
mkjv@Genesis:18:2 @ And he lifted 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 toward the ground.
mkjv@Genesis:18:3 @ And he said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, do not pass away, I pray, from Your servant.
mkjv@Genesis:18:4 @ Let a little water, I pray, be brought, and wash Your feet, and rest under the tree.
mkjv@Genesis:18:5 @ And I will bring a bite of bread, and will comfort your hearts. After that You shall pass on. For this is why You have come to Your servant. And they said, Do so, as you have said.
mkjv@Genesis:18:6 @ And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, [Make ready] quickly three measures of fine meal; knead [it], and make cakes.
mkjv@Genesis:18:7 @ And Abraham ran out to the herd and brought a calf, tender and good. And he gave [it] to a young man. And he hurried to dress it.
mkjv@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 ate.
mkjv@Genesis:18:9 @ And they said to him, Where [is] Sarah your wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
mkjv@Genesis:18:10 @ And He said, I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and lo, Sarah your wife [shall have] a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door which was behind Him.
mkjv@Genesis:18:11 @ Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old, far gone in days, and it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
mkjv@Genesis:18:12 @ Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After my being old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
mkjv@Genesis:18:13 @ And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I, who am old, truly bear a child?
mkjv@Genesis:18:14 @ Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return again, according to the time of life, and Sarah [shall have] a son.
mkjv@Genesis:18:15 @ Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And He said, No, but you did laugh.
mkjv@Genesis:18:16 @ And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. And Abraham was going with them to bring them on the way.
mkjv@Genesis:18:17 @ And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham the thing which I do,
mkjv@Genesis:18:18 @ And Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the persons of the earth shall be blessed in him?
mkjv@Genesis:18:19 @ For I know him, that he will command his sons and his house 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 has spoken of him.
mkjv@Genesis:18:20 @ And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
mkjv@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which has come to Me. And if not, I will know.
mkjv@Genesis:18:22 @ And the men turned their faces away from there, and went toward Sodom. But Abraham still stood before the LORD.
mkjv@Genesis:18:23 @ And Abraham drew near and said, Will You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
mkjv@Genesis:18:24 @ Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city. Will You also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are in it?
mkjv@Genesis:18:25 @ Far be it from You to act in this manner, to kill the righteous with the wicked. And far be it from You, that the righteous should be as the wicked. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
mkjv@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.
mkjv@Genesis:18:27 @ And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the LORD, who am but dust and ashes.
mkjv@Genesis:18:28 @ Perhaps there will be five lacking from the fifty righteous. Will You destroy all the city for lack of five? And He said, If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy [it].
mkjv@Genesis:18:29 @ And he spoke to Him yet again, and said, Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And He said, I will not do [it] for forty's sake.
mkjv@Genesis:18:30 @ And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak. Perhaps there shall be thirty found there. And He said, I will not do [it] if I find thirty there.
mkjv@Genesis:18:31 @ And he said, Lo now, I have taken upon me to speak to the LORD. Perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And He said, I will not destroy [it] for twenty's sake.
mkjv@Genesis:18:32 @ And he said, Oh do not let the LORD be angry, and I will speak only once more. Perhaps ten shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
mkjv@Genesis:18:33 @ And the LORD went His way as soon as He had left off talking with Abraham. And Abraham returned to his place.
mkjv@Genesis:19:1 @ And there came two angels to Sodom at evening. And Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. And Lot rose up to meet them when he saw [them]. And he bowed himself with his face toward the ground, ![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
