mkjv - Genesis:20-23

mkjv@Genesis:20:1 @ And Abraham moved from there toward the south country, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.

mkjv@Genesis:20:2 @ And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

mkjv@Genesis:20:3 @ But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you [are] about to die, for the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

mkjv@Genesis:20:4 @ But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will You also kill a righteous nation?

mkjv@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not say to me, She [is] my sister? And she, even she herself said, He [is] my brother. In the sincerity of my heart and innocency of my hands I have done this.

mkjv@Genesis:20:6 @ And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the sincerity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.

mkjv@Genesis:20:7 @ Now therefore, restore his wife to the man. For he [is] a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live. And if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.

mkjv@Genesis:20:8 @ And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears. And the men were greatly afraid.

mkjv@Genesis:20:9 @ Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have you done to us? In what have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

mkjv@Genesis:20:10 @ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing?

mkjv@Genesis:20:11 @ And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God [is] not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.

mkjv@Genesis:20:12 @ And yet truly [she is] my sister. She [is] the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.

mkjv@Genesis:20:13 @ And it happened when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This [is] your kindness which you show to me, at every place where we shall come, say of me, He [is] my brother.

mkjv@Genesis:20:14 @ And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave [them] to Abraham. And he restored him Sarah his wife.

mkjv@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before you. Live where it pleases you.

mkjv@Genesis:20:16 @ And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, he [is] to you a covering of the eyes, to all that [are] with you, and with all this, you are justified.

mkjv@Genesis:20:17 @ And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his slave women, and they gave birth.

mkjv@Genesis:20:18 @ For the Lord had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

mkjv@Genesis:21:1 @ And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said. And the LORD did to Sarah as He had spoken.

mkjv@Genesis:21:2 @ For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

mkjv@Genesis:21:3 @ And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him (whom Sarah bore to him) Isaac.

mkjv@Genesis:21:4 @ And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

mkjv@Genesis:21:5 @ And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

mkjv@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, God has made me laugh, so that all who hear will laugh with me.

mkjv@Genesis:21:7 @ And she said, Who could have said to Abraham, will Sarah suckle children? For I have borne a son to him in his old age.

mkjv@Genesis:21:8 @ And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned.

mkjv@Genesis:21:9 @ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian (whom she had borne to Abraham) mocking.

mkjv@Genesis:21:10 @ And she said to Abraham, Cast out this slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son, with Isaac.

mkjv@Genesis:21:11 @ And the thing was very evil in Abraham's sight, because of his son.

mkjv@Genesis:21:12 @ And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in your sight because of the boy and because of your slave woman. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For in Isaac your Seed shall be called.

mkjv@Genesis:21:13 @ And also, I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman, because he [is] your seed.

mkjv@Genesis:21:14 @ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave [it] to Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder. And he gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

mkjv@Genesis:21:15 @ And the water was gone in the bottle, and she cast the boy under one of the shrubs.

mkjv@Genesis:21:16 @ And she went and sat down across from him, a good way off, about a bowshot. For she said, Let me not see the death of the boy. And she sat across from him, and lifted up her voice, and cried.

mkjv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of the heavens, and said to her, What ails you, Hagar? Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

mkjv@Genesis:21:18 @ Rise up, lift up the boy and hold him up with your hand, for I will make him a great nation.

mkjv@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 drink to the boy.

mkjv@Genesis:21:20 @ And God was with the boy, and he grew, and lived in the wilderness, and became an archer.

mkjv@Genesis:21:21 @ And he lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

mkjv@Genesis:21:22 @ And it happened at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you do.

mkjv@Genesis:21:23 @ Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. Do to me according to the kindness that I have sworn to you, and to the land in which you have lived.

mkjv@Genesis:21:24 @ And Abraham said, I will swear.

mkjv@Genesis:21:25 @ And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

mkjv@Genesis:21:26 @ And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this thing, neither did you tell me, neither have I even heard of it, except today.

mkjv@Genesis:21:27 @ And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and both of them made a covenant.

mkjv@Genesis:21:28 @ And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

mkjv@Genesis:21:29 @ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?

mkjv@Genesis:21:30 @ And he said, For you shall take [these] seven ewe lambs from my hand, so that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.

mkjv@Genesis:21:31 @ This is why he called that place Beer-sheba, because they swore, both of them, there.

mkjv@Genesis:21:32 @ So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. Then Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, rose up. And they returned to the land of the Philistines.

mkjv@Genesis:21:33 @ And Abraham planted a tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

mkjv@Genesis:21:34 @ And Abraham lived in the Philistines' land many days.

mkjv@Genesis:22:1 @ And it happened after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Behold me.

mkjv@Genesis:22:2 @ And He said, Take now your son, your only one, Isaac, whom you love. And go into the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will name to you.

mkjv@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 he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up and went to the place of which God had told him.

mkjv@Genesis:22:4 @ Then on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.

mkjv@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said to his young men, You stay here with the ass. And I and the boy will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

mkjv@Genesis:22:6 @ And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took the fire in his hand, and a knife. And they both went together.

mkjv@Genesis:22:7 @ And Isaac spoke to 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?

mkjv@Genesis:22:8 @ And Abraham said, My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering. So they both went together.

mkjv@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 he bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

mkjv@Genesis:22:10 @ And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

mkjv@Genesis:22:11 @ And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens and said, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, Here [am] I.

mkjv@Genesis:22:12 @ And He said, Do not lay your hand on the lad, nor do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.

mkjv@Genesis:22:13 @ And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked. And, behold, a ram behind [him] was entangled in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

mkjv@Genesis:22:14 @ And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Will See; so that it is said [until] this day, In the mount of Jehovah it will be seen.

mkjv@Genesis:22:15 @ And the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham out of the heavens the second time,

mkjv@Genesis:22:16 @ and said, I have sworn by Myself, says the LORD; because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one;

mkjv@Genesis:22:17 @ that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore. And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies.

mkjv@Genesis:22:18 @ And in your Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

mkjv@Genesis:22:19 @ Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham lived at Beer-sheba.

mkjv@Genesis:22:20 @ And it happened after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold Milcah! She also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

mkjv@Genesis:22:21 @ Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,

mkjv@Genesis:22:22 @ and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

mkjv@Genesis:22:23 @ And Bethuel fathered Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

mkjv@Genesis:22:24 @ And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

mkjv@Genesis:23:1 @ And Sarah was a hundred twenty seven years old, the years of the life of Sarah.

mkjv@Genesis:23:2 @ And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

mkjv@Genesis:23:3 @ And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

mkjv@Genesis:23:4 @ I am a stranger and a visitor with you. Give me a possession of a burying place with you, so that I may bury my dead out of my sight.

mkjv@Genesis:23:5 @ And the sons of Heth answered Abraham saying to him,

mkjv@Genesis:23:6 @ Hear us, my lord. You [are] a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choice of our burying places. None of us shall withhold from you his burying-place from burying your dead.

mkjv@Genesis:23:7 @ And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.

mkjv@Genesis:23:8 @ And he spoke with them, saying, If it is your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and ask for me of Ephron the son of Zohar,

mkjv@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he has, which [is] in the end of his field. For as much silver as it is worth he shall give it to me for a possession of a burying-place among you.

mkjv@Genesis:23:10 @ And Ephron lived among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,

mkjv@Genesis:23:11 @ No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and the cave that [is] in it I give to you. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.

mkjv@Genesis:23:12 @ And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.

mkjv@Genesis:23:13 @ And he spoke to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, Only if you would hear me. I will give you silver for the field. Take [it] from me, and I will bury my dead there.

mkjv@Genesis:23:14 @ And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

mkjv@Genesis:23:15 @ My lord, listen to me. The land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what is that between me and you? And bury your dead.

mkjv@Genesis:23:16 @ And Abraham listened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, which passes with the merchant.

mkjv@Genesis:23:17 @ And the field of Ephron was certified, which was Machpelah, which [was] before Mamre; the field and the cave which [was] in it, and all the trees in the field, in all the borders round about,

mkjv@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

mkjv@Genesis:23:19 @ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave at the field of Machpelah before Mamre, which [is] Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

mkjv@Genesis:23:20 @ And the field, and the cave that [is] in it, were certified to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.

mkjv@Genesis:24:1 @ And Abraham was old, going on in age. And the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
