And Abraham will fall upon his face and laugh, and will say in his heart, Shall there be born to the son of a hundred years? and shall Sarah the daughter of ninety years, bring forth?

And Abraham will say to God, O for Ishmael to live before thee

And God will say. Truly, Sarah thy wife, shall bring forth to thee a son, and shall call his name Isaak: and I set up my covenant with him for a lasting covenant, and to his seed after him.

And for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I blessed him and made him fruitful, and I multiplied him with might exceedingly: twelve chiefs shall he beget, and I will give him into a great nation.

And my covenant will I set up with Isaak whom Sarah shall bring forth to thee at this appointed time in another year.

And he will finish speaking with him, and God will go up from Abraham.

And Abraham will take Ishmael his son, and all born in his house and bought with his silver, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he will circumcise the flesh of their uncircumcision, in the self-same day, according to which God spake to him.

And Abraham, the son of ninety and nine years in his circumcising the flesh of his uncircumcision.

And Ishmael his son, the son of thirteen years in his circumcising the flesh of his uncircumcision.

And in the self-same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

And all the men of his house, born in his house, and bought with silver of the son of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

And Jehovah will be seen to him at the oaks of Mamra: and he will sit at the entrance of his tent at the heat of the day.

And he shall lift up his eyes and shall see, and behold, three men stood by him: and he will see and will run to meet them from the door of the tent, and will bow himself to the earth.

And he will say, Lord, if now I found grace in thine eyes, now thou wilt not pass away from thy servant

Now he shall take a little water, and will wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

And I will take a bit of food, and strengthen your heart, afterwards ye shall pass away; for, for this ye passed over to your servant And they will say, Thou shalt do according to what thou saidst

And Abraham will hasten to the tent to Sarah, and will say, Hasten thou measures of the finest flour; knead and make cakes.

And Abraham running to the oxen, will take the son of a cow, tender and good, and will give to the youth, and he will hasten to do it

And he will take curdled milk, and new milk, and the son of the cow which he did, and he will give before their face; and he stood by them under the tree, and they shall eat

And they will say to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? and he will say, Behold, in the tent.

And he will say, Returning, I will return to thee according to the time of life; and behold, a son to Sarah thy wife. And Sarah heard at the door of the tent, and she behind him.

And Abraham and Sarah were old, being gone in days; the way according to women ceased to be to Sarah.

And Sarah will laugh within her, saying, After it has not been to me till now, and my lord, being old.

And Jehovah will say to Abraham, For what did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall truly even I bring forth, and I have become old?

Shall the word of Jehovah be difficult, at the appointed time? I will return to thee, according to the time of life, and a son to Sarah.

And Sarah will deny, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he will say, Nay, for thou didst laugh.

And the men will rise up from thence, and will look forth upon the face of Sodom: and Abraham went forth with them to accompany them.

And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I do?

And Abraham being, shall be for a great and numerous nation, and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in him.

For I know him, for that he will command his sons and his house after him; and they watched the way of Jehovah to do justice and judgment, for Jehovah to bring upon Abraham what he spake to him.

And Jehovah will say, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah became great, and because their sin was exceedingly heavy,

I will go now and see whether they did wholly according to its cry coming to me; and if not, I shall know.

And the men will turn back from thence, and will go forth to Sodom: and Abraham stood yet before the face of Jehovah.

And Abraham will draw near, and will say, Wilt thou also destroy the just with the wicked

Perhaps there is fifty just in the midst of the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty just which are within it?

Far be it with respect to thee doing as this word to kill the just with the wicked; and for the just to be as the wicked, far be it with respect to thee: shall not the judge of all the earth do judgment?

And Jehovah will say, If I shall find in Sodom fifty just, in the midst of the city, I forgive all the place for their sakes.

And Abraham will answer and say, Behold now, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, and I dust and ashes.

If the fifty just shall lack five: wilt thou destroy for sake of five all the city? And he will say, I will not destroy, if I shall find there forty and five.

And he added yet to speak to him, and he will say, If forty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not do for sake of forty.

And he will say, Now will it not kindle to the Lord, and I will speak: If thirty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not do, if I shall find thirty there.

And he will say, Behold now, I have begun to speak to the Lord If twenty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not destroy for sake of twenty.

And he will say, Now will it not be angry to the Lord, and I will speak only this once: If ten shall be found there? And he will say, I will not destroy for sake of ten.

And Jehovah went forth after that he finished to speak to Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.

And two messengers shall come to Sodom in the evening; and Lot will sit in the gate of Sodom; and Lot will see, and will rise up to meet them, and will bow himself with the face to the earth.

And he will say, Behold now, lords, turn aside now to the house of your servant, and pass the night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise early. and go forth to your ways. And they will say, Nay; for in the street we will pass the night

And he will press upon them greatly; and they will turn aside to him, and they will come in to his house; and he will make to them a drinking, and he baked unleavened loaves, and they will eat

Before the men of the city shall lie down, the men of Sodom surrounded the house about, from youth, even to old age, all the people from the end.

And they will call to Lot, and will say to him, Where the men which came to thee this night? bring them out to us and we shall know them.

And Lot went forth to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him,

And he will say, Now my brothers, ye shall not be evil.

Behold now, to me two daughters who have not known man'; now I will bring them forth to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men ye shall not do any thing; for, for this they came in the shadow of my city.

And they will say, Stand off. And they will say, This same came to sojourn, and shall he judge judgment: now will we do evil to thee above them: and they will press upon the man, upon Lot greatly, and they will come near to break the door.

And the men will stretch out the hand, and will bring in Lot to them to the house, and they shut the door.

And the men which were at the door of the house, they struck with blindness, from small to great: and they will be wearied to find the door.

And the men will say to Lot, Who to thee here yet? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and all which are to thee in the city, bring forth out of this place.

For we destroy this place, for their cry was great at the face of Jehovah; and Jehovah will send us to destroy it.

And Lot will go out, and will speak to his sons-in-law, having taken his daughters, and he will say, Rise ye up, go forth out of this place; for Jehovah destroys the city: and he will be as laughing in the eyes of his sons-in-law.

And when the dawn arose, the messengers will hasten upon Lot, saying, Rise up, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, being found, lest thou shalt be destroyed in the iniquity of the city.

And he shall linger, and the men will hold fast upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; in Jehovah's having compassion upon him; and they shall bring him forth, and lead him without the city.

And it shall be when having brought them forth without, he will say, Escape for thy life; thou shalt not look behind thee, and thou shalt not stay in all the circuit: escape to the mountain, lest thou shalt be destoyed.

And Lot will say to them, Nay, now, Lord!

Behold now, thy servant found grace in thine eyes, and thou wilt magnify thy kindness, what thou didst by me to make my soul live: and I shall not be able to escape to the mountain so evil over-taking me, and I die.

Behold now, this city drawing nigh to flee there, and it is small: now I shall be saved there, is it not small? and my soul shall live.

And he will say to him, Behold, I lifted up thy face also for thy word, not to overthrow this city for which thou spakest

The sun came forth upon the earth, and Lot came to Zoar.

And Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, sulphur and fire from Jehovah out of the heavens.

And he will overturn these cities, and all the circuit, and all inhabiting the cities, and the sprouting of the earth.

And his wife will look hack from behind him, and will become a pillar of salt

And Abraham will rise early in the morning to the place in which he stood there by the face of Jehovah.

And he will look out upon the face of Sodom and Gomorrah and upon all the face of the earth of the circuit, and he will see, and behold the smoke of the earth ascended as the smoke of a furnace.

And it shall be in God's destroying the cities of the circuit, and God will remember Abraham, and he will send forth Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in overthrowing the cities in which Lot dwelt in them.

And Lot will go up from Zoar and will dwell in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he will fear to dwell in Zoar; and he will dwell in a cave, he and his two daughters.

And the first-born will say to the small, our father has become old, and not a man in the earth to come in to us according to the way of all the earth:

Come, we will give to our father wine to drink, and we will lie down with him, and we shall preserve alive seed from our father.

And they will give their father wine to drink in that night, and the first-born will go in and will lie down with her father; and he will not know in her lying down, and in her rising up.

And it shall be on the morrow, and the first-born will say to the small, Behold, I lay down yesterday with my father: we will also give him wine to drink this night; and go thou, lie down with him, and we shall preserve alive seed from our father.

And they will give their father wine to drink also in that night, and the small will arise and will he down with him, and he will not know in her lying down and her rising up.

And the two daughters of Lot will conceive by their father.

And the first-born will bring forth a son, and she will call his name Moab: this the father of Moab till this day.

And the small also, she will bring forth a son, and she will call his name the son of my people: this the father of the sons of Ammon till this day.

And Abraham will remove from thence to the land of the south, and will dwell between Kadesh and between Shur, and will sojourn in Gerar.

And Abraham will say as to Sarah his wife, This my sister: and Abimelech, king of Gerar, will send and take Sarah.

And God will come to Abimelech in a dream at night, and say to him, Behold, thou dead, for the woman which thou didst take, and she having married a husband.

And Abimelech came not near to her: and he will say, Lord, wilt thou also slay a just nation?

Did he not say to me, This my sister? and she also, she said he is my brother: in the uprightness of my heart, and in cleanness of my hands have I done this.

And God will say to him in a dream, I knew also that in the uprightness of thy heart thou didst this; and I also will restrain thee from sinning against me: for this I suffered thee not to touch her.

And now turn back to the man the woman; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and do thou live: and if thou turn her not back, know that dying, thou shalt die, thou and all which are to thee.

And Abimelech will rise early in the morning, and will call to all his serants, and will speak all these words in their ears: and the men shall be greatly afraid.

And Abimelech will call to Abraham, and say to him, What didst thou to us? and what did we sin against thee, that thou didst bring upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? thou didst works to me which shall not be done.

And Abimelech will say to Abraham, What sawest thou that thou didst this thing?

And Abraham will say, For I said, Surely there is not the fear of God in this place; and they will kill me because of my wife.

And truly also my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother: and she was to me for wife.

And it shall be when God causes me to wander front my father's house, and I said to. her, This thy kindness which thou shalt do by me; at every place to which we shall come, there say of me, He is my brother.

And Abimelech will take sheep and oxen and servants, and maid-servants, and will give to Abraham, and will return to him Sarah his wife.

And Abimelech will say, Behold, my land before thy face: dwell in the good in thine eyes.

And to Sarah he said, Behold, I gave a thousand of silver to thy brother; behold, he is to thee for a garment of the eyes to all who are with thee, and with all: and she was set right

And Abraham will pray to God; and God will heal Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they will bring forth.

And Jehovah reviewed Sarah as he said; and Jehovah will do to Sarah as he spake.

And Sarah shall conceive, and bring forth to Abraham a son to his old age, at the appointed time which God spake to him.
