But the land was unable to support them as long as they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they could not stay together,

Now the Valley of Siddim contained many asphalt pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, but the rest fled to the mountains.

However, I will judge the nation they serve, and afterward they will go out with many possessions.

The Angel of the Lord also said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, and they will be too many to count.”

“As for Me, My covenant is with you: you will become the father of many nations.

Your name will no longer be Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I will make you the father of many nations.

And Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines for many days.

He had flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, and many slaves, and the Philistines were envious of him.

And the man became very rich. He had many flocks, male and female slaves, and camels and donkeys.

For their possessions were too many for them to live together, and because of their herds, the land where they stayed could not support them.

Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was a son born to him in his old age, and he made a robe of many colors for him.

When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped off his robe, the robe of many colors that he had on.

They sent the robe of many colors to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it. Is it your son’s robe or not?”

Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

Then Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many years have you lived?”

He said to me, ‘I will make you fruitful and numerous; I will make many nations come from you, and I will give this land as an eternal possession to your future descendants.’

You planned evil against me; God planned it for good to bring about the present result—the survival of many people.
