asv @Genesis:20:1 @And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South , and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur . And he sojourned in Gerar . asv @Genesis:20:2 @And Abraham said of Sarah his wife , She is my sister . And Abimelech king of Gerar sent , and took Sarah . asv @Genesis:20:3 @But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night , and said to him , Behold , thou art but a dead man , because of the woman whom thou hast taken . For she is a man 's wife . asv @Genesis:20:4 @Now Abimelech had not come near her . And he said , Lord , wilt thou slay even a righteous nation ? asv @Genesis:20:5 @Said he not himself unto me , She is my sister ? And she , even she herself said , He is my brother . In the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this . asv @Genesis:20:6 @And God said unto him in the dream , Yea , I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this , and I also withheld thee from sinning against me . Therefore suffered I thee not to touch her . asv @Genesis:20:7 @Now therefore restore the man 's 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 . asv @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 sore afraid . asv @Genesis:20:9 @Then Abimelech called Abraham , and said unto him , What hast thou done unto us ? And wherein have I sinned against 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 . asv @Genesis:20:10 @And Abimelech said unto Abraham , What sawest thou , that thou hast done this thing ? asv @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 . asv @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 : asv @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 . asv @Genesis:20:14 @And Abimelech took sheep and oxen , and men-servants and women-servants , and gave them unto Abraham , and restored him Sarah his wife . asv @Genesis:20:15 @And Abimelech said , Behold , my land is before thee . Dwell where it pleaseth thee . asv @Genesis:20:16 @And unto 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 that are with thee . And in respect of all thou art righted . asv @Genesis:20:17 @And Abraham prayed unto God . And God healed Abimelech , and his wife , and his maid-servants . And they bare children . asv @Genesis:20:18 @For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech , because of Sarah , Abraham 's wife . asv @Genesis:21:1 @And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said , and Jehovah did unto Sarah as he had spoken . asv @Genesis:21:2 @And Sarah conceived , and bare Abraham a son in his old age , at the set time of which God had spoken to him . asv @Genesis:21:3 @And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him , whom Sarah bare to him , Isaac . asv @Genesis:21:4 @And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old , as God had commanded him . asv @Genesis:21:5 @And Abraham was a hundred years old , when his son Isaac was born unto him . asv @Genesis:21:6 @And Sarah said , God hath made me to laugh . Every one that heareth will laugh with me . asv @Genesis:21:7 @And she said , Who would have said unto Abraham , that Sarah should give children suck ? For I have borne him a son in his old age . asv @Genesis:21:8 @And the child grew , and was weaned . And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned . asv @Genesis:21:9 @And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian , whom she had borne unto Abraham , mocking . asv @Genesis:21:10 @Wherefore she said unto Abraham , Cast out this handmaid and her son . For the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son , even with Isaac . asv @Genesis:21:11 @And the thing was very grievous in Abraham 's sight on account of his son . asv @Genesis:21:12 @And God said unto Abraham , Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad , and because of thy handmaid . In all that Sarah saith unto thee , hearken unto her voice . For in Isaac shall thy seed be called . asv @Genesis:21:13 @And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation , because he is thy seed . asv @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 gave her the child , and sent her away . And she departed , and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba . asv @Genesis:21:15 @And the water in the bottle was spent , and she cast the child under one of the shrubs . asv @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 look upon the death of the child . And she sat over against him , and lifted up her voice , and wept . asv @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 . asv @Genesis:21:18 @Arise , lift up the lad , and hold him in thy hand . For I will make him a great nation . asv @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 . asv @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 . asv @Genesis:21:21 @And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran . And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt . asv @Genesis:21:22 @And it came to pass at that time , that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham , saying , God is with thee in all that thou doest . asv @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 . asv @Genesis:21:24 @And Abraham said , I will swear . asv @Genesis:21:25 @And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water , which Abimelech 's servants had violently taken away . asv @Genesis:21:26 @And Abimelech said , I know not who hath done this thing . Neither didst thou tell me , neither yet heard I of it , but to-day . asv @Genesis:21:27 @And Abraham took sheep and oxen , and gave them unto Abimelech . And they two made a covenant . asv @Genesis:21:28 @And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves . asv @Genesis:21:29 @And Abimelech said unto Abraham , What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves ? asv @Genesis:21:30 @And he said , These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand , that it may be a witness unto me , that I have digged this well . asv @Genesis:21:31 @Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba . Because there they sware both of them . asv @Genesis:21:32 @So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba . And Abimelech rose up , and Phicol the captain of his host , and they returned into the land of the Philistines . asv @Genesis:21:33 @And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba , and called there on the name of Jehovah , the Everlasting God . asv @Genesis:21:34 @And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days . asv @Genesis:22:1 @And it came to pass after these things , that God did prove Abraham , and said unto him , Abraham . And he said , Here am I . asv @Genesis:22:2 @And he said , Take now thy son , thine only son , whom thou lovest , 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 . asv @Genesis:22:3 @And Abraham rose early in the morning , and saddled his ass , and took two of his young men with him , and Isaac his son . And he clave the wood for the burnt-offering , and rose up , and went unto the place of which God had told him . asv @Genesis:22:4 @On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes , and saw the place afar off . asv @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 we will worship , and come again to you . asv @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 . asv @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 ? asv @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 . asv @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 . asv @Genesis:22:10 @And Abraham stretched forth his hand , and took the knife to slay his son . asv @Genesis:22:11 @And the angel of Jehovah called unto him out of heaven , and said , Abraham , Abraham . And he said , Here I am . asv @Genesis:22:12 @And he said , Lay not thy hand upon the lad , neither do thou anything unto him . For now I know that thou fearest God , seeing thou hast not withheld thy son , thine only son , from me . asv @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 in the stead of his son . asv @Genesis:22:14 @And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh . As it is said to this day , In the mount of Jehovah it shall be provided . asv @Genesis:22:15 @And the angel of Jehovah called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven , asv @Genesis:22:16 @and said , By myself have I sworn , saith Jehovah , because thou hast done this thing , and hast not withheld thy son , thine only son , asv @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 . asv @Genesis:22:18 @And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed . Because thou hast obeyed my voice . asv @Genesis:22:19 @So Abraham returned unto his young men , and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba . And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba . asv @Genesis:22:20 @And it came to pass after these things , that it was told Abraham , saying , Behold , Milcah , she also hath borne children unto they brother Nahor . asv @Genesis:22:21 @Uz his first-born , and Buz his brother , and Kemuel the father of Aram . asv @Genesis:22:22 @And Chesed , and Hazo , and Pildash , and Jidlaph , and Bethuel . asv @Genesis:22:23 @And Bethuel begat Rebekah . These eight did Milcah bear to Nahor , Abraham 's brother . asv @Genesis:22:24 @And his concubine , whose name was Reumah , she also bare Tebah , and Gaham , and Tahash , and Maacah . asv @Genesis:23:1 @And the life of Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years . These were the years of the life of Sarah . asv @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 . asv @Genesis:23:3 @And Abraham rose up from before his dead , and spake unto the children of Heth , saying , asv @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 . asv @Genesis:23:5 @And the children of Heth answered Abraham , saying unto him , asv @Genesis:23:6 @Hear us , my lord . Thou art a prince of God 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 . asv @Genesis:23:7 @And Abraham rose up , and bowed himself to the people of the land , even to the children of Heth . asv @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 , asv @Genesis:23:9 @that he may give me the cave of Machpelah , which he hath , which is in the end of his field . For the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you for a possession of a burying-place . asv @Genesis:23:10 @Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of 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 , asv @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 children of my people give I it thee . Bury thy dead . asv @Genesis:23:12 @And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land . asv @Genesis:23:13 @And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land , saying , But if thou wilt , I pray thee , hear me . I will give the price of the field . Take it of me , and I will bury my dead there . asv @Genesis:23:14 @And Ephron answered Abraham , saying unto him , asv @Genesis:23:15 @My lord , hearken unto me . A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver , what is that betwixt me and thee ? Bury therefore thy dead . asv @Genesis:23:16 @And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron . And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth , four hundred shekels of silver , current money with the merchant . asv @Genesis:23:17 @So 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 border thereof round about , were made sure asv @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 . asv @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 . asv @Genesis:23:20 @And the field , and the cave that is therein , were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying-place by the children of Heth . asv @Genesis:24:1 @And Abraham was old , and well stricken in age . And Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things .
