And when Terah was seventy years old, he begat Abram, Nahor and Haran.

And these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran begat Lot.

And Abram and Nahor took them wives. Abram's wife was called Sarai. And Nahor's wife, Milcah the daughter of Haran; which was father of Milcah and of Iscah.

Then took Terah: Abram his son, and Lot his son Haran's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law his son Abram's wife. And they went with him from Ur in Chaldea, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and dwelled there.

Then the LORD said unto Abram, "Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred; and out of thy father's house, into a land which I will show thee.

And Abram went as the LORD bade him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy five years old, when he went out of Haran.

And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, with all their goods which they had gotten, and souls which they had begotten in Haran. And they departed to go into the land of Canaan. And when they were come into the land of Canaan,

Abram went forth into the land till he came unto a place called Shechem, and unto the oak of Moreh. And the Cananites dwelled then in the land.

Then the LORD appeared unto Abram and said, "Unto thy seed will I give this land." And he built an altar there unto the LORD which appeared to him.

And then Abram departed and took his journey southward.

After this there came a dearth in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the dearth was sore in the land.

which entreated Abram well for her sake, so that he had sheep, oxen and he-asses, men servants, maid servants, she-asses and camels.

But God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, "Why hast thou thus dealt with me? Wherefore toldest thou me not that she was thy wife?

Pharaoh also gave a charge unto his men over Abram, to lead him out, with his wife and all that he had.

Then Abram departed out of Egypt; both he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him unto the south.

Abram was very rich in cattle, silver and gold.

and unto the place of the altar which he made before. And there called Abram upon the name, of the LORD.

And there fell a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. Moreover, the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land.

Then said Abram unto Lot, "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between thee and me, and between my herdsmen and thine, for we be brethren.

Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan: And Lot in the cities of the plain, and tented till he came to Sodom.

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was departed from him, "Lift up thine eyes and look from the place where thou art, northward, southward, eastward and westward,

Then Abram took down his tent, and went and dwelled in the oak grove of Mamre, which is in Hebron; and built there an altar to the LORD.

And they took Lot also; Abram's brother's son, and his goods, for he dwelled at Sodom; and departed.

Then came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; which dwelt in the oak grove of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and Aner, which were confederate with Abram.

When Abram heard that his brother was taken, he harnessed his servants born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and followed till they came at Dan.

"Blessed be Abram unto the most highest God, possessor of heaven and earth.

And blessed be God the most highest, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hands." And Abram gave him tithes of all.

Then said the king of Sodom unto Abram, "Give me the souls, and take the goods to thyself."

And Abram answered the king of Sodom, "I lift up my hand unto the LORD God most high, possessor of heaven and earth,

that I will not take of all that is thine, so much as a thread or a shoe latchet, lest thou shouldest say 'I have made Abram rich.'

After these deeds, the word of God came unto Abram in a vision, saying, "Fear not Abram, I am thy shield; and thy reward shall be exceeding great."

And Abram answered, "LORD Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? I go childless, and the cater of mine house, this Eliezer of Damascus, hath a son."

And Abram said, "See, to me hast thou given no seed: lo, a lad born in my house shall be mine heir!"

And behold, the word of the LORD spake unto Abram saying, "He shall not be thine heir, but one that shall come out of thine own body shall be thine heir."

And Abram believed the LORD, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

And the birds fell on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.

And when the sun was down, there fell a slumber upon Abram. And lo, fear and great darkness came upon him.

And he said unto Abram, "Know this of a surety, that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that pertaineth not unto them. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreat them evil, four hundred years.

And that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "Unto thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt, even unto the great river Euphrates:

Sarai, Abram's wife, bare him no children. But she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

Wherefore she said unto Abram, "Behold the LORD hath closed me, that I can not bear. I pray thee go in unto my maid, peradventure I shall be multiplied by means of her." And Abram heard the voice of Sarai.

Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid the Egyptian - after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan - and gave her to her husband Abram, to be his wife.

Then said Sarai unto Abram, "Thou dost me unright, for I have given my maid into thy bosom: and now because she seeth that she hath conceived, I am despised in her sight: the LORD judge between thee and me."

Then said Abram to Sarai, "Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do with her as it pleaseth thee." And because Sarai fared foul with her, she fled from her.

And Hagar bare Abram a son, and Abram called his son's name which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

And Abram was eighty six years old, when Hagar bare him Ishmael.

When Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to him saying, "I am the almighty God: walk before me and be uncorrupt.

And Abram fell on his face. And God talked moreover with him, saying,

Therefore shalt thou no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham: for a father of many nations have I made thee,

And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi; and Dathan and Abiram, the son of Eliab; and On the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben,

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they answered, "We will not come.

"Speak unto the congregation, and say, 'Get you away from about the dwelling of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.'"

And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.

And they gat them from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood in the door of their tents with their wives, their sons and their children.

And they departed from Oboth and lay at Iyeabarim in the wilderness, which is before Moab on the east side.

And the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, councilors in the congregation, which strove against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and behold, the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Iyeabarim in the borders of Moab.

And they departed from Iyeabarim and pitched in Dibongad.

And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim before Nebo.

And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the fields of Moab fast by Jordan nigh to Jericho.
