Later, Cain had sexual relations with his wife. She became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain founded a city and named it after his son Enoch.

Later on, after Adam had sexual relations with his wife, she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, because "God granted me another offspring to replace Abel, since Cain murdered him."

Seth also fathered a son, whom he named Enosh. At that time, profaning the name of the LORD began.

After Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son just like him, that is, according to his own likeness, and named him Seth.

Adam lived another 800 years, fathering other sons and daughters after he had fathered Seth.

After he fathered Enosh, Seth lived 807 years, fathering other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years, fathering other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years, fathering other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years, fathering other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Enoch, Jared lived 800 years, fathering other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Methuselah, Enoch communed with God for 300 years and fathered other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years, fathering other sons and daughters.

When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son,

After he fathered Noah, Lamech lived 595 years, fathering other sons and daughters.

Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

However, I will establish my own covenant with you, and you are to enter the ark you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives.

Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives entered the ark with him before the flood waters arrived.

On that very day, Noah entered the ark with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah's wife, his sons' three wives with them,

"It's time for you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives who are with you to leave the ark.

So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives emerged.

God blessed Noah and his sons and ordered them, "Be productive, multiply, and fill the earth.

Later, God told Noah and his sons,

Noah's sons who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham later fathered Canaan.)

These three were Noah's sons, and from these men the whole earth was repopulated.

When Noah sobered up and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

These are the records of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, to whom descendants were born after the flood.

Shem's sons included Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

To Eber were born two sons. One was named Peleg, because the earth was divided during his lifetime. His brother was named Joktan.

These are the families of Noah's sons, according to their records, by their nations. From these people, the nations on the earth spread out after the flood.

Shem lived 500 years after he fathered Arpachshad and had other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Cainan, Arpachshad lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters, and then died. Cainan lived 130 years and fathered Shelah. After he fathered Shelah, Cainan lived 330 years and had other sons and daughters, and then died.

After he fathered Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.

Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran's son), and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they journeyed together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan. But when they had gone as far as Haran, they settled there,

So Sarai told Abram, "You are well aware that the LORD has prevented me from giving birth to a child. Go have sex with my servant, so that I may possibly bear a son through her."

"Look, you are pregnant and will give birth to a son," the angel of the LORD continued to say to her. "You will name him Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your cry of misery.

Hagar eventually gave birth to Abram's son. Abram named his son whom Hagar bore Ishmael.

I will bless her. Furthermore, I will give you a son from her. I will bless her, so that nations, kings, and people will come from her."

But God replied, "No, but your wife Sarah will give birth to your son, and you are to name him Isaac. I'll confirm my covenant with him as an eternal covenant for his descendants.

Now as to Isaac, I'll confirm my covenant with him, to whom Sarah will give birth as your son at this time next year."

Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the servants born in his house or purchased with his money every male among the men of his household and circumcised them that very day, just as God had spoken to him.

and his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised.

Both Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on that very day.

Then one of them said, "I will certainly return to you in about a year's time. By then, your wife Sarah will have borne a son."

Is anything impossible for the LORD? At the time set for it, I will return to you about a year from now and Sarah will have a son."

Indeed, I've made myself known to him in order that he may encourage his sons and his household that is born after him to keep the way of the LORD, and to do what is right and just, so that the LORD may bring about for Abraham what he has promised."

"Do you have anyone else here in the city?" the angels asked Lot. "A son-in-law? Sons? Daughters? Get them out of this place,

Lot then went out and told his sons-in-law (they had married his daughters), "Get out of here! The LORD is going to destroy this city!" But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

The firstborn gave birth to a son and named him Moab, and he is the ancestor of the Moabites to this day.

The younger daughter also gave birth to a son and named him Ben-ammi, and he is the ancestor of the Ammonites to this day.

Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the very time that God had told him.

Abraham named his son who was born to him Isaac the very one whom Sarah bore for him!

On the eighth day after his son Isaac had been born, Abraham circumcised him, just as God had commanded him.

Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

She also said, "Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse sons? Yet I have given birth to a son in my husband's old age!"

Nevertheless, when Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian whom Hagar had borne to Abraham making fun of Isaac,

she told Abraham, "Throw out this slave girl, along with her son, because this slave's son will never be a co-heir with my son Isaac!"

Abraham was very troubled about what was being said about his son,

Nevertheless, I will make the slave girl's son into a nation, since he, too, is your offspring."

Therefore swear an oath here by God that you won't deal falsely with me, my sons, or my descendants. Just as I've dealt graciously with you, won't you do so with me and with the land in which you live as a foreigner?"

God said, "Please take your son, your unique son whom you love Isaac and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him as a burnt offering there on one of the mountains that I will point out to you."

So Abraham got up early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his male servants with him, along with his son Isaac. He cut the wood for the burnt offering and set out to go to the place about which God had spoken to him.

Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. Abraham carried the fire and the knife. And so the two of them went on together.

Isaac addressed his father Abraham: "My father!" "I'm here, my son," Abraham replied. Isaac asked, "The fire and the wood are here, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?"

Abraham answered, "God will provide himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son."

The two of them went on together and came to the place about which God had spoken. Abraham built an altar there, arranged the wood, tied up his son Isaac, and placed him on the altar on top of the wood.

Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the knife to slaughter his son.

"Don't lay your hand on the youth!" he said. "Don't do anything to him, because I've just demonstrated that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only unique one, from me."

Then Abraham looked up and behind him to see a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. So Abraham went over, grabbed the ram, and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

and said, "I have taken an oath to swear by myself," declares the LORD, "that since you have carried this out and have not withheld your only unique son,

Now after these things somebody told Abraham, "Look, Milcah has given birth to sons for your brother Nahor.

Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

and addressed them, "If you are willing that I should bury my dead out of my sight, listen to me and make a request of Zohar's son Ephron on my behalf.

as a promise to the LORD, the God of heaven and earth, that you won't acquire a wife for my son from the Canaanite women among whom I'm living.

Instead, you are to go to my country and to my family and acquire a wife for my son Isaac."

"What if the woman doesn't want to come back with me to this land?" the servant asked. "Shouldn't I have your son go to the land from which you came?"

"Make sure not to take my son there," Abraham replied.

"The LORD God of heaven, who brought me from my father's house and from my family's land, who spoke to me and promised me "I will give this land to your descendants,' will send his angel ahead of you, and you are to acquire a wife for my son from there.

If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you'll be free from this oath to me. Just don't take my son back there!"

Before he had finished speaking, Rebekah appeared. She was a daughter of Milcah's son Bethuel. (Milcah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor.) She approached the well, carrying a jug on her shoulder.

"I am the daughter of Bethuel," she answered. "He's the son of Milcah and Nahor.

My master's wife Sarah gave birth to my master's son in her old age, and Abraham has given him everything that belongs to him.

My master made me swear this oath: "You are not to select a wife for my son from among the daughters of the Canaanites in this land where I live.

Instead, you are to go to my father's household, to my relatives, and choose a wife for my son there.'

"Abraham told me, "The LORD, who is with me wherever I go, will send his angel with you to make your journey successful. So you are to choose a wife for my son from my family, from my father's household.

if she tells me to drink and also draws water for the camels, may she be the woman that the LORD has chosen for my master's son.'

"That's when I asked, "Whose daughter are you?' "She replied, "I'm the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore for him.'

"So I gave her a ring for her nose and bracelets for her wrists. I bowed down and worshipped the LORD, and I praised the LORD God of my master Abraham, who led me on the true way to request the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

So here's Rebekah she's right in front of you. Take her and go, so she can become a wife for your master's son, just as the LORD has decreed."

Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan's sons were the Asshurites, Letushites, and Leummites.

Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All of these were Keturah's descendants.

While he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to his concubines and sent them to the east country in order to keep them away from his son Isaac.

His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field that used to belong to Zohar the Hittite's son Ephron.

After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who continued to live near Beer-lahai-roi.

Here's a list of the names of Ishmael's sons, recorded by their names and descendants: Nebaioth was the firstborn, followed by Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

This is the account of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham fathered Isaac.
