And Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his silver; every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins in the same day, even as God said to him.

And Jehovah went His way as soon as He had left off talking with Abraham. And Abraham returned to his place.

And it happened after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Behold me.

And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens and said, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, Here am I.

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

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

And Abraham listened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, which passes with the merchant.

And Abraham was old, going on in age. And Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.

And he said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, I pray You, send me good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

But to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts. And he sent them away from Isaac his son while he still lived, eastward to the east country.

the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth. Abraham and Sarah his wife were buried there.

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

And these were the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham fathered Isaac.

And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

And Jehovah appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not fear, for I am with you, and will bless you and multiply your seed for My servant Abraham's sake.

And may He give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed with you, so that you may inherit the land in which you are a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.

Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham. For I have made you a father of many nations.

And God said to Abraham, And you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you in their generations.

And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.

And Abraham fell upon 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 Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before You!

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 same day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.

And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal; knead it, and make cakes.

And Abraham ran out to the herd and brought a calf, tender and good. And he gave it to a young man. And he hurried to dress it.

Now Abraham and Sarah were old, far gone in days, and it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I, who am old, truly bear a child?

And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. And Abraham was going with them to bring them on the way.

And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham the thing which I do,

And Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the persons of the earth shall be blessed in him?

For I know him, that he will command his sons and his house after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do justice and judgment, that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which He has spoken of him.

And the men turned their faces away from there, and went toward Sodom. But Abraham still stood before Jehovah.

And Abraham drew near and said, Will You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to Jehovah, who am but dust and ashes.

And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before Jehovah.

And when God destroyed the cities of the plain, it happened that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

And Abraham moved from there toward the south country, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.

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

Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have you done to us? In what have I offended 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.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing?

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

And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham. And he restored him Sarah his wife.

And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his slave women, and they gave birth.

For the Lord had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

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

And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him (whom Sarah bore to him) Isaac.

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

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

And she said, Who could have said to Abraham, will Sarah suckle children? For I have borne a son to him in his old age.

And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned.

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

And she said to Abraham, Cast out this slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son, with Isaac.

And the thing was very evil in Abraham's sight, because of his son.

And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in your sight because of the boy and because of your slave woman. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For in Isaac your Seed shall be called.

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 he gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

And it happened at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you do.

And Abraham said, I will swear.

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

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

And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?

And Abraham planted a tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the everlasting God.

And Abraham lived in the Philistines' land many days.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, 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.

Then on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.

And Abraham said to his young men, You stay here with the ass. And I and the boy will go on to this way and worship, and come again to you.

And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took the fire in his hand, and a knife. And they both went together.

And Isaac spoke to 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?

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering. So they both went together.

And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. And he bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Will See; so that it is said until this day, In the mount of Jehovah it will be seen.

And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham out of the heavens the second time,

And it happened after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold Milcah! She also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

And Bethuel fathered Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

And the sons of Heth answered Abraham saying to him,

And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.

And Ephron lived among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,

And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.

And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave at the field of Machpelah before Mamre, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

And the field, and the cave that is in it, were certified to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.

And Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, I pray you, put your hand under my thigh.

And Abraham said to him, Take care that you do not bring my son there again.

And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master and swore to him concerning the matter.

And before he had finished speaking, it happened, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who has not left my master destitute of His mercy and His truth. Jehovah led me, I being in the way to the house of my master's brothers.

And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

And I came this day to the well, and said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, if now You prosper my way in which I go,

And I bowed my head and worshiped Jehovah, and blessed Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter to his son.

And it happened, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth to Jehovah, bowing himself to the earth.

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

Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

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

And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and satisfied. And he was gathered to his people.
