Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

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

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

Then 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, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

And he ceased talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

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

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

In the same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

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

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

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

And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old?

And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they will keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

And the men turned their faces from thence, and went towards Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

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

And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.

And Abraham rose early in the morning, to the place were he stood before the LORD:

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.

And Abraham journeyed from thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadash and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

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

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

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

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.

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

So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore children.

For the LORD had made barren all the females 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, 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 she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? for I have borne him a son 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, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

Wherefore, she said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman, and her son: for the son of this bond-woman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

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

And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond-woman; in all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar (putting it on her shoulder) and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, and Phichol the chief 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 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 mean these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?

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

And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.

And it came to pass after these things, that God tempted Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

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 cleft the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose and went to the place which God had named to him.

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

And Abraham said to his young men, Abide you here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and return to you.

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

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

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

And the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here am I.

And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it will be seen.

And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven the second time,

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

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children to thy brother Nahor;

And Bethuel begat 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 children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

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

And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, of all that entered the gates of his city, saying,

And Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land.

And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

And Abraham hearkened 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.

To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that entered the gate of his city.

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.

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.

And Abraham was old and far advanced in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

And Abraham said to his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again.

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

And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, prosper me this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

And it came to pass before he had done speaking, that 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 the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left my master destitute of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

And I came this day to the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou dost prosper my way which I go:

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

And it came to pass, that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, 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.

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

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

Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac: and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.

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

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:

And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines to Gerar.

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee, and to thy seed I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father;
