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

The Lord went on his way when he had finished speaking to Abraham. Then Abraham returned home.

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

Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set out together for Beer Sheba where Abraham stayed.

He prayed, "O Lord, God of my master Abraham, guide me today. Be faithful to my master Abraham.

This was the field Abraham had purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.

This is the account of Abraham's son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.

This is the account of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug back in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham died. Isaac gave these wells the same names his father had given them.

The Lord appeared to him that night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham."

May he give you and your descendants the blessing he gave to Abraham so that you may possess the land God gave to Abraham, the land where you have been living as a temporary resident."
