rotherham@Genesis:20:1 @ And Abraham brake up from thence, towards the land of the South, and fixed his dwelling between Kadesh and Shur, so he sojourned in Gerar.

rotherham@Genesis:20:2 @ And Abraham said of Sarah his wife: My, sister, is she, So Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

rotherham@Genesis:20:3 @ Then God went in unto Abimelech, in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold thee dead! because of the woman whom thou hast taken, seeing that, she, is a married woman.

rotherham@Genesis:20:4 @ Now, Abimelech, had not come near unto her, so he said, O My Lord! a nation even a righteous one, wilt thou slay?

rotherham@Genesis:20:5 @ Had not, he himself, said to me, My sister, is she? and even she herself, said, My brother, is he? In the integrity of my heart and in the pureness of my hand, have I done this!

rotherham@Genesis:20:6 @ And God said unto him in a dream, I, also, knew, that in the integrity of thy heart, thou didst this, so then, even I myself, withheld thee from sinning against me, for this reason, have I not suffered thee to touch her.

rotherham@Genesis:20:7 @ Now, therefore restore the mans wife, for a prophet, is he, that he may pray for thee and live thou, But if thou art not going to restore her, know, that thou shalt die, thouand all that are thine.

rotherham@Genesis:20:8 @ So Ahimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spake all these words in their ears, and the men feared greatly.

rotherham@Genesis:20:9 @ Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What hast thou done to us? and wherein had I sinned against thee, that thou shouldst have brought in over me and over my kingdom, a sin so great? Deeds, which should not be done, hast thou done with me.

rotherham@Genesis:20:10 @ And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What hadst thou seen, that thou shouldst have done this thing?

rotherham@Genesis:20:11 @ And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no fear of God, in this place, therefore will they slay me for the sake of my wife.

rotherham@Genesis:20:12 @ Moreover also, in truth, my sister daughter of my father, she is, only not daughter of my mother, so she became my wife.

rotherham@Genesis:20:13 @ And so it came to pass when the Gods caused me to wander from my fathers house, that I said to her, This, is thy lovingkindness, wherewith thou shalt deal with me, Into what-soever place we enter, say of me My brother, is he.

rotherham@Genesis:20:14 @ Then took Abimelech sheep and oxen and menservants and maid-servants, and gave to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.

rotherham@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abimelech, said, Lo! my land is before thee, wherever it may seem good in thine eyes, dwell.

rotherham@Genesis:20:16 @ And to Sarah, he said, Lo! I have given a thousand of silver unto thy brother: Lo! that is for thee as a covering of eyes, to all who are with thee, And so in every way, hath right been done.

rotherham@Genesis:20:17 @ And Abraham prayed unto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, so that they bare children,

rotherham@Genesis:20:18 @ For Yahweh, had restrained from bearing, every female a of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, wife of Abraham.

rotherham@Genesis:21:1 @ Now, Yahweh, visited Sarah, as he had said, And Yahweh did for Sarah as he had spoken.

rotherham@Genesis:21:2 @ So, Sarah, conceived and bare, to Abraham, a son, for his old age, at the set time, of which God had spoken with him.

rotherham@Genesis:21:3 @ And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom, Sarah, bare to him, Isaac.

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

rotherham@Genesis:21:5 @ Now Abraham was a hundred years old, when Isaac his son was born to him.

rotherham@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, A laughing, hath God made for me, Everyone that heareth will laugh with me.

rotherham@Genesis:21:7 @ And she said Who would have announced to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled children? yet have I borne a son, for his old age!

rotherham@Genesis:21:8 @ And the child grew, and was weaned, and Abraham made a great banquet, on the day of the weaning of Isaac.

rotherham@Genesis:21:9 @ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian woman whom she had borne to Abraham laughing!

rotherham@Genesis:21:10 @ So she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman must not inherit with my son with Isaac.

rotherham@Genesis:21:11 @ And the word was very grievous in the eyes of Abraham, on account of his son.

rotherham@Genesis:21:12 @ And God said unto Abraham Let it not be grievous in thine eyes concerning the boy and concerning thy bondwoman, In all that Sarah may say unto thee, hearken to her voice, For in Isaac, shall there be called to theea seed.

rotherham@Genesis:21:13 @ Yet even the son of the bondwoman, will I appoint to become, a nation, because thy seed, he is.

rotherham@Genesis:21:14 @ So Abraham rose up early in the morningand took bread and a skin of water and gave unto hagar, putting them on her shoulder and the child, and sent her forth, so she went her way and wandered, in the desert of Beer-sheba.

rotherham@Genesis:21:15 @ And the water out of the skin was spent, so she cant the child under one of the shrubs;

rotherham@Genesis:21:16 @ and went and sat her down over against him at a distance like as of such as draw the bow, for she said Let me not look upon the death of the child, So she sat down over against him, and the boy lifted up his voice, and wept

rotherham@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the boy, and a messenger of God called unto Hagar out of the heavens; and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Do not fear, for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the boy where he is.

rotherham@Genesis:21:18 @ Arise lift up the boy, and hold him up with thy hand, for, a great nation, will I make him.

rotherham@Genesis:21:19 @ And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the skin with water, and gave drink unto the boy

rotherham@Genesis:21:20 @ And it came to pass that God was with the boy, and he grew, and dwelt in the desert, and he became as he grew up, an archer,

rotherham@Genesis:21:21 @ And he dwelt in the desert of Paran, and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

rotherham@Genesis:21:22 @ And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, with Phicol chieftain of his host, spake unto Abraham, saying, God, is with thee in all that, thou art doing.

rotherham@Genesis:21:23 @ Now, therefore, swear to me by God, here, that thou wilt not deal falsely by me, nor by mine offspring, nor by my descendants, according to the lovingkindness wherewith I have dealt with thee, shalt thou deal with me, and with the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

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

rotherham@Genesis:21:25 @ But Abraham reproved Abimelech, on account of the well of water, which the servants of Abimelech had seized.

rotherham@Genesis:21:26 @ And Abimelech said, I know not, who hath done this thing, nor hast even thou, ever told me, nor have even I, ever heard, save to-day.

rotherham@Genesis:21:27 @ And Abraham took sheep and oxen, stud gave to Abimelech, and they two solemnised a covenant

rotherham@Genesis:21:28 @ So then Abram set seven young sheep of the flock by them-selves,

rotherham@Genesis:21:29 @ And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What, then mean these seven young sheep here, which thou hast set by themselves?

rotherham@Genesis:21:30 @ And he said, The seven young sheep, shalt thou take at my hand, that they may serve as my witness, that I digged this well.

rotherham@Genesis:21:31 @ On this account, was the name of that place called Beer-sheba, because there, had they two sworn. \fs15

rotherham@Genesis:21:32 @ And when they had solemnised a covenant in Beer-sheba, then arose Abimelech, with Phicol chief of his host, and returned unto the land of the Philistines.

rotherham@Genesis:21:33 @ Then planted he a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh the age-abiding GOD.

rotherham@Genesis:21:34 @ So Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.

rotherham@Genesis:22:1 @ And it cared to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!

rotherham@Genesis:22:2 @ And he said Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto thee.

rotherham@Genesis:22:3 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to him.

rotherham@Genesis:22:4 @ It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

rotherham@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said unto his young men Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, that we may bow ourselves down and return unto you.

rotherham@Genesis:22:6 @ So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, both of them together.

rotherham@Genesis:22:7 @ Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?

rotherham@Genesis:22:8 @ And Abraham said, God, will provide for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, together.

rotherham@Genesis:22:9 @ Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and aid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.

rotherham@Genesis:22:10 @ And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, to slay his son.

rotherham@Genesis:22:11 @ Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!

rotherham@Genesis:22:12 @ Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to himanything at all, for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.

rotherham@Genesis:22:13 @ And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead of his son.

rotherham@Genesis:22:14 @ So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh, as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.

rotherham@Genesis:22:15 @ Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, a second time out of the heavens;

rotherham@Genesis:22:16 @ and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,

rotherham@Genesis:22:17 @ That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:

rotherham@Genesis:22:18 @ So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.

rotherham@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.

rotherham@Genesis:22:20 @ And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold! Milcahshe also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:

rotherham@Genesis:22:21 @ Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, father of Aram

rotherham@Genesis:22:22 @ and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;

rotherham@Genesis:22:23 @ And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.

rotherham@Genesis:22:24 @ And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.

rotherham@Genesis:23:1 @ And the life of Sarah came to be, a hundred and twenty-seven years, the years of the life of Sarah.

rotherham@Genesis:23:2 @ And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba, the same, is Hebron in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went in to wail for Sarah and to weep for her.

rotherham@Genesis:23:3 @ And Abraham rose up from over the face of his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying;

rotherham@Genesis:23:4 @ A sojourner and settler, am I with you, Give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, That I may bury my dead, from before me.

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

rotherham@Genesis:23:6 @ Hear us, my lord! A prince of God, art thou in our midst, In the choice of our buryingplaces, bury thy dead, Not, a man from among us his, burying-place, will withhold from thee, from burying thy dead.

rotherham@Genesis:23:7 @ And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth;

rotherham@Genesis:23:8 @ and spake with them, saying, If it is with the consent of your minds that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and intercede for me, with Ephron son of Zohar:

rotherham@Genesis:23:9 @ That he would give me, the cave of Machpelah, which pertaineth unto him, which is within the bounds of his field, For full silver, let him give it me in your midst, For a possession of a buryingplace.

rotherham@Genesis:23:10 @ Now, Ephron, was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth, so Ephron the Hittite responded to Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, even all that were entering the gate of his city, saying:

rotherham@Genesis:23:11 @ Nay, my lord, hear me, The field, have I given to thee And, the cave that is therein, to thee, have I given it, In the eyes of the sons of my people, have I given it thee Bury thy dead.

rotherham@Genesis:23:12 @ So Abraham boweth himself down, before the people of the land:

rotherham@Genesis:23:13 @ and spake unto Ephron in the ears of the people of the land saying, Only if, thou, wouldst, hear me, I have given the silver of the field Take it of me, That I may bury my dead here.

rotherham@Genesis:23:14 @ And Ephron responded to Abraham, saying to him,

rotherham@Genesis:23:15 @ My lord, hear me, Land worth four hundred shekels of silverbetwixt me and thee, what is that? And thy dead., bur. thou.

rotherham@Genesis:23:16 @ And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron, and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the silver of which he had spoken in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant,

rotherham@Genesis:23:17 @ So was con-firmed the field of Ephron, which is in Machpelah, which is before Mamre, the field and the cave which is therein, and all the timber which was in the field, which was in all the boundary thereof round about,

rotherham@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham as a purchase in the eyes of the sons of Heth, with all who were entering the gate of his city.

rotherham@Genesis:23:19 @ And after this, did Abraham bury Sarah his wife, within the cave of the field of Machpelah, over against Mamre, the same, is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

rotherham@Genesis:23:20 @ So was confirmed the field with the cave which was therein to Abraham, for a possession of a buryingplace, from the sons of Heth.

rotherham@Genesis:24:1 @ Now, Abraham, was old, far gone in days, and, Yahweh, had blessed Abraham, in all things.
