And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money every male among the people of Abraham's house and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.

And Jehovah appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

but to the sons of Abraham's concubines, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

for the Lord had securely closed the wombs of all [the women] in Abimelech’s household because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

Before he had finished speaking, Rebekah appeared. She was a daughter of Milcah's son Bethuel. (Milcah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor.) She approached the well, carrying a jug on her shoulder.

They filled in with sand all of the wells that Isaac's father Abraham's servants had dug during his lifetime.

so he went to Abraham's son Ishmael and married Ishmael's daughter Mahalath, who was the sister of Nebaioth.

And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth before Jehovah.

And they sent away Rebecca their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.

"since Abraham's descendants will become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him?

Then Abraham's servant ran to meet her and asked her, "Please, let me have a sip of water from your jug."

Then Rebekah and her young servant women got up, mounted their camels, and followed Abraham's servant, who took Rebekah and went on his way.

After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who continued to live near Beer-lahai-roi.

Later on, a famine swept through the land. This famine was different from the previous famine that had occurred earlier, during Abraham's lifetime. So Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

Isaac re-excavated some wells that his father had first dug during his lifetime, because the Philistines had filled them with sand after Abraham's death. Isaac renamed those wells with the same names that his father had called them.

So the servant placed his hand under his master Abraham’s thigh and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.

So when God destroyed the cities of the region, God honored Abraham's request. He removed Lot from the midst of the destruction when he destroyed the cities Lot had lived in.

So Abraham's servant went to the house and unloaded the camels. Straw and feed were given to the camels, and water was provided so that he and the men who were with him could wash their feet.

and asked Abraham's servant, "Who is that man walking in the field toward us?" "That is my master," the servant replied. So she took her veil and covered herself.

Isaac addressed his father Abraham: "My father!" "I'm here, my son," Abraham replied. Isaac asked, "The fire and the wood are here, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?"

That's when he prayed, "LORD God of my master Abraham, help me to succeed today. Please show your gracious love to my master Abraham.

But the Lord's angel called to him from heaven, "Abraham! Abraham!" "Here I am!" he answered.

Some time after these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am!" Abraham replied.

And I stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah; and I blessed Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has led me the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.

My master's wife Sarah gave birth to my master's son in her old age, and Abraham has given him everything that belongs to him.

and said, "Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham which ceaseth not to deal mercifully and truly with my master. For the LORD hath brought me the way to my master's brother's house."

And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son.

And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

And Abraham hearkened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the money that he had named in the ears of the sons of Heth four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.

And she said, "Who would announce to Abraham [that] Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne a son [to Abraham] in his old age."

And Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. And Abraham rose up from his dead, and he spoke to the Hittites [and] said,

Abraham also ran to the herd and brought a calf, tender and choice, and he gave it to the servant [to butcher], and he hurried to prepare it.

Later, the LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks belonging to Mamre. As Abraham was sitting near the entrance to his tent during the hottest part of the day,

Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. Abraham carried the fire and the knife. And so the two of them went on together.

And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.

And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

Abraham called the name of that place the LORD Will Provide. As it is said to this day, "On the LORD's mountain, it will be provided."

Abraham spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose [only] forty are found there.” And He said, “I will not do it for the sake of the forty [who are righteous].”

And he said, “Now behold, I have decided to speak to the Lord [again]. Suppose [only] twenty [righteous people] are found there?” And the Lord said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”

she told Abraham, "Throw out this slave girl, along with her son, because this slave's son will never be a co-heir with my son Isaac!"

It's the cave in the field near Mamre at Machpelah in the land of Canaan that Abraham bought to serve as a cemetery.

And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;

Early in the morning Abraham got up, took bread and a waterskin, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beer-sheba.

And Abraham called his son's name that was born unto him, which Sara bare him, Isaac:

And Abraham said to God, If only Ishmael's life might be your care!

And Sarah's death took place in Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan: and Abraham went into his house, weeping and sorrowing for Sarah.

The Lord's angel called to Abraham a second time from heaven

So Abraham secured Ephron's field in Machpelah, next to Mamre, including the field, the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field and all around its border,

And Joseph said to his brothers, "I [am about] to die, but God will certainly visit you and bring you up from this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."

And he blessed Joseph and said, "The God before whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, walked, The God who shepherded me {all my life} unto this day,

The angel who redeemed me from all evil, may he bless the boys. And through them let my name be perpetuated, and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac. And let them multiply into many in the midst of the earth.

And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

And God said to Abraham, And as for thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.

And God said to Abraham, As to Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.

And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.

Now Abraham and Sarah were old and advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?

And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.

And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?

For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath spoken of him.

And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah.

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked?

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.

And Abraham rose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Jehovah;

And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Thou hast done to me deeds that ought not to be done.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?

And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave them to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.

And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

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 hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.

And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.

And Abraham said, I will swear.

And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
