updv Genesis:20-23
updv@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.
updv@Genesis:20:2 @ And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She's my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
updv@Genesis:20:3 @ But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Look, you are but a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife.
updv@Genesis:20:4 @ Now Abimelech had not had any sex with her. And he said, Lord, will you slay even a righteous nation?
updv@Genesis:20:5 @ Didn't he say to me, She's my sister? And she, even she herself said, He's my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.
updv@Genesis:20:6 @ And God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn't allow you to have any sex with her.
updv@Genesis:20:7 @ Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. And if you don't restore her, know that you will surely die, you, and all who are yours.
updv@Genesis:20:8 @ And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his slaves, and told all these things in their ears. And the men were very afraid.
updv@Genesis:20:9 @ Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have you done to us? And in what have I sinned against 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.
updv@Genesis:20:10 @ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see, that you have done this thing?
updv@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.
updv@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:
updv@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 your kindness which you will show to me. At every place where we will come, say of me, He is my brother.
updv@Genesis:20:14 @ And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male slaves and female slaves, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah his wife to him.
updv@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abimelech said, Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.
updv@Genesis:20:16 @ And to Sarah he said, See, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Look, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all who are with you. And in respect of all you are righted.
updv@Genesis:20:17 @ And Abraham prayed to God. And God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female slaves. And they gave birth.
updv@Genesis:20:18 @ For Yahweh had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
updv@Genesis:21:1 @ And Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.
updv@Genesis:21:2 @ And Sarah became pregnant, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
updv@Genesis:21:3 @ And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
updv@Genesis:21:4 @ And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
updv@Genesis:21:5 @ And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
updv@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.
updv@Genesis:21:7 @ And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah should nurse sons? For I have borne him a son in his old age.
updv@Genesis:21:8 @ And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
updv@Genesis:21:9 @ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
updv@Genesis:21:10 @ Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this slave and her son. For the son of this slave will not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
updv@Genesis:21:11 @ And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
updv@Genesis:21:12 @ And God said to Abraham, Don't let it be grievous in your sight because of the lad, and because of your slave. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For in Isaac will your seed be called.
updv@Genesis:21:13 @ And also of the son of the slave I will make into a nation, because he is your seed.
updv@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 [gave her] the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
updv@Genesis:21:15 @ And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
updv@Genesis:21:16 @ And she went, and she sat down across from him a good way off, as it were a bowshot. For she said, Don't let me see the child's death. And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
updv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad. And the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What ails you, Hagar? Don't be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
updv@Genesis:21:18 @ Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.
updv@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.
updv@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.
updv@Genesis:21:21 @ And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
updv@Genesis:21:22 @ And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you do.
updv@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. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me, and to the land in which you have sojourned.
updv@Genesis:21:24 @ And Abraham said, I will swear.
updv@Genesis:21:25 @ And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's slaves had violently taken away.
updv@Genesis:21:26 @ And Abimelech said, I don't know who has done this thing. You did not tell me, and I had not heard of it yet, but today.
updv@Genesis:21:27 @ And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech. And the two made a covenant.
updv@Genesis:21:28 @ And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
updv@Genesis:21:29 @ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What do these seven ewe lambs mean which you have set by themselves?
updv@Genesis:21:30 @ And he said, These seven ewe lambs you will take of my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.
updv@Genesis:21:31 @ Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba. Because there they swore both of them.
updv@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.
updv@Genesis:21:33 @ And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and there called on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.
updv@Genesis:21:34 @ And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
updv@Genesis:22:1 @ And it came to pass after these things, that God did prove Abraham, and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
updv@Genesis:22:2 @ And he said, Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. And offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
updv@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.
updv@Genesis:22:4 @ On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
updv@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said to his young men, You(note:){+}(:note) remain here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder; and we will worship, and come again to you{+}.
updv@Genesis:22:6 @ And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. And they went both of them together.
updv@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, Look, the fire and the wood. But where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?
updv@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.
updv@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, on the wood.
updv@Genesis:22:10 @ And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
updv@Genesis:22:11 @ And the angel of Yahweh called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
updv@Genesis:22:12 @ And he said, Don't lay your hand on the lad, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you haven't withheld your son, your only son, from me.
updv@Genesis:22:13 @ And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and noticed 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.
updv@Genesis:22:14 @ And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-jireh. As it is said to this day, On the mount of Yahweh it will be provided.
updv@Genesis:22:15 @ And the angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
updv@Genesis:22:16 @ and said, By myself I have sworn, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and haven't withheld your son, your only son,
updv@Genesis:22:17 @ that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.
updv@Genesis:22:18 @ And in your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed. Because you have obeyed my voice.
updv@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
updv@Genesis:22:20 @ And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Look, Milcah, she also has borne sons to your brother Nahor.
updv@Genesis:22:21 @ Uz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram.
updv@Genesis:22:22 @ And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
updv@Genesis:22:23 @ And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
updv@Genesis:22:24 @ And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
updv@Genesis:23:1 @ And the life of Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years.
updv@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.
updv@Genesis:23:3 @ And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
updv@Genesis:23:4 @ I am a stranger and a sojourner with you(note:){+}(:note). Give me a possession of a burying-place with you{+}, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
updv@Genesis:23:5 @ And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying,
updv@Genesis:23:6 @ Please hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. In the choice of our tombs bury your dead. None of us will withhold from you his tomb that you may bury your dead.
updv@Genesis:23:7 @ And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
updv@Genesis:23:8 @ And he communed with them, saying, If it is your(note:){+}(:note) mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
updv@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you(note:){+}(:note) for a possession of a burying-place.
updv@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,
updv@Genesis:23:11 @ Please, my lord, hear me. The field I give you, and the cave that is in it, I give it you. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.
updv@Genesis:23:12 @ And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
updv@Genesis:23:13 @ And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if you will, I pray you, hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
updv@Genesis:23:14 @ And Ephron answered Abraham, saying,
updv@Genesis:23:15 @ Please my lord, listen to me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? Bury therefore your dead.
updv@Genesis:23:16 @ And Abraham listened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant.
updv@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 its border round about, were made sure
updv@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.
updv@Genesis:23:19 @ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
updv@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.
updv@Genesis:24:1 @ And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age. And Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
