acv Genesis:20-23
acv@Genesis:20:1 @ And Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.
acv@Genesis:20:2 @ And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
acv@Genesis:20:3 @ But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou are but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou have taken, for she is a man's wife.
acv@Genesis:20:4 @ Now Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, LORD, will thou slay even a righteous nation?
acv@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not himself say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.
acv@Genesis:20:6 @ And God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou have done this. And I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow thee to touch her.
acv@Genesis:20:7 @ Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shall live. And if thou do not restore her, know thou that thou shall surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
acv@Genesis:20:8 @ And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. And the men were exceedingly afraid.
acv@Genesis:20:9 @ Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.
acv@Genesis:20:10 @ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did thou see, that thou have done this thing?
acv@Genesis:20:11 @ And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
acv@Genesis:20:12 @ And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.
acv@Genesis:20:13 @ And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This is thy kindness which thou shall show to me. At every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
acv@Genesis:20:14 @ And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.
acv@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee. Dwell where it pleases thee.
acv@Genesis:20:16 @ And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all who are with thee. And in regard to all thou are righted.
acv@Genesis:20:17 @ And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bore sons.
acv@Genesis:20:18 @ For LORD had closed up fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
acv@Genesis:21:1 @ And LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
acv@Genesis:21:2 @ And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
acv@Genesis:21:3 @ And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
acv@Genesis:21:4 @ And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
acv@Genesis:21:5 @ And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
acv@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, God has made me to laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.
acv@Genesis:21:7 @ And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah should give sons suck? For I have borne him a son in his old age.
acv@Genesis:21:8 @ And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
acv@Genesis:21:9 @ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
acv@Genesis:21:10 @ Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son. For the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
acv@Genesis:21:11 @ And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
acv@Genesis:21:12 @ And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid. In all that Sarah says to thee, hearken to her voice. For in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
acv@Genesis:21:13 @ And also I will make a nation of the son of the handmaid, because he is thy seed.
acv@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 the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
acv@Genesis:21:15 @ And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
acv@Genesis:21:16 @ And she went, and sat herself down opposite him a good way off, as it were a bowshot. For she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat opposite him, and the child lifted up its voice, and wept.
acv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad. And the agent of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What troubles thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
acv@Genesis:21:18 @ Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand, for I will make him a great nation.
acv@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.
acv@Genesis:21:20 @ And God was with the lad, and he grew. And he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
acv@Genesis:21:21 @ And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
acv@Genesis:21:22 @ And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou do.
acv@Genesis:21:23 @ Now therefore swear to me here by God that thou will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shall do to me, and to the land in which thou have
acv@Genesis:21:24 @ And Abraham said, I will swear.
acv@Genesis:21:25 @ And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water which Abimelech's servants had taken away violently.
acv@Genesis:21:26 @ And Abimelech said, I know not who has done this thing, neither did thou tell me, nor yet did I hear of it, but today.
acv@Genesis:21:27 @ And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech. And the two made a covenant.
acv@Genesis:21:28 @ And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
acv@Genesis:21:29 @ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What do these seven ewe lambs mean which thou have set by themselves?
acv@Genesis:21:30 @ And he said, These seven ewe lambs thou shall take from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.
acv@Genesis:21:31 @ Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there they swore both of them.
acv@Genesis:21:32 @ So they made a covenant at Beersheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
acv@Genesis:21:33 @ And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of LORD, the Everlasting God.
acv@Genesis:21:34 @ And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
acv@Genesis:22:1 @ And it came to pass after these things, that God proved Abraham, and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
acv@Genesis:22:2 @ And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou love, even Isaac, 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.
acv@Genesis:22:3 @ And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, 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.
acv@Genesis:22:4 @ On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
acv@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and come again to you.
acv@Genesis:22:6 @ And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. And they went both of them together.
acv@Genesis:22:7 @ And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he said, Here I am, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
acv@Genesis:22:8 @ And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son. So they went both of them together.
acv@Genesis:22:9 @ And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
acv@Genesis:22:10 @ And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
acv@Genesis:22:11 @ And the agent of LORD called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
acv@Genesis:22:12 @ And he said, Do not lay thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything to him. For now I know that thou fear God, since thou have not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.
acv@Genesis:22:13 @ And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, behind [him] a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
acv@Genesis:22:14 @ And Abraham called the name of that place LORD-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of LORD it shall be provided.
acv@Genesis:22:15 @ And the agent of LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
acv@Genesis:22:16 @ and said, By myself I have sworn, says LORD, because thou have done this thing, and have not withheld thy son, thine only son,
acv@Genesis:22:17 @ that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies,
acv@Genesis:22:18 @ and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou have obeyed my voice.
acv@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men. And they rose up and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
acv@Genesis:22:20 @ And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:
acv@Genesis:22:21 @ Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
acv@Genesis:22:22 @ and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
acv@Genesis:22:23 @ And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
acv@Genesis:22:24 @ And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
acv@Genesis:23:1 @ And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah.
acv@Genesis:23:2 @ And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
acv@Genesis:23:3 @ And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
acv@Genesis:23:4 @ I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
acv@Genesis:23:5 @ And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
acv@Genesis:23:6 @ Hear us, my lord. Thou are a prince of God among us. Bury thy dead in our choice sepulchers. None of us shall withhold from thee his sepulcher, but that thou may bury thy dead.
acv@Genesis:23:7 @ And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
acv@Genesis:23:8 @ And he conversed 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,
acv@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. Let him give it to me for the full price in the midst of you for a possession of a burying place.
acv@Genesis:23:10 @ Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the sons of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
acv@Genesis:23:11 @ No, my lord, hear me. I give thee the field. And the cave that is in it, I give it to thee. I give it to thee in the presence of the sons of my people. Bury thy dead.
acv@Genesis:23:12 @ And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
acv@Genesis:23:13 @ And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou will, I pray thee, hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.
acv@Genesis:23:14 @ And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
acv@Genesis:23:15 @ My lord, hearken to me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? Therefore bury thy dead.
acv@Genesis:23:16 @ And Abraham hearkened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver that he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant.
acv@Genesis:23:17 @ So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border of it round about, were made sure
acv@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
acv@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.
acv@Genesis:23:20 @ And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.
acv@Genesis:24:1 @ And Abraham was old, well stricken in age. And LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
