And Terah lived seventy years and fathered Abram, Nahor and Haran.

Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot.

And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai. And the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. And he went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and lived there.

And Jehovah said to Abram, Go out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house into a land that I will show you.

And Abram departed, even as Jehovah had spoken to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gained in Haran. And they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. And they came into the land of Canaan.

And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, unto the Oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

And Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your seed. And he built an altar there to Jehovah who appeared to him.

And Abram journeyed, going on and pulled up stakes toward the south.

And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to stay there, for the famine was grievous in the land.

And it happened when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

And he treated Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and male servants, and maidservants, and she-asses, and camels.

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

And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she is your wife?

And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, (and Lot was with him) into the south.

And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold.

to the place of the altar which he had made there at the first. And Abram called on the name of Jehovah there.

And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived then in the land.

And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are men, brothers.

Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the circuit and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

And after Lot was separated from him, Jehovah said to Abram, Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are northward and southward, and eastward and westward.

And Abram moved his tent and came and lived in the oaks of Mamre, which is in Hebron. And he built an altar to Jehovah there.

And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and all his goods, and went away.

And there came one who had escaped. And he told Abram the Hebrew, for he lived in the plains of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. And these had a covenant with Abram.

And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained servants, born in his own house (three hundred and eighteen) and pursued them to Dan.

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of Heaven and earth.

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the people and take the goods for yourself.

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the most high God, the possessor of Heaven and earth,

that I will take from all that is yours, not from a thread even to a shoestring, lest you say, I have made Abram rich.

After these things the Word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your shield and your exceeding great reward.

And Abram said, Lord God, what will You give me, since I am going childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

And Abram said, Behold, You have given no seed to me. And behold, one born in my house is my heir.

And when the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

And it happened as the sun was setting, and a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And, behold, a horror of great darkness fell upon him!

And He said to Abram, You must surely know that your seed shall be a stranger in a land not theirs, and shall serve them. And they shall afflict them four hundred years.

In the same day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, I have given this land to your seed, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, did not bear. And she had a female slave, an Egyptian, and her name was Hagar.

And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has kept me from bearing. I pray you, go in to my slave woman. It may be that I may be built by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her slave woman, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife (after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan).

And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon you. I have given my slave woman into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and you.

But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your slave woman is in your hand. Do to her as it pleases you. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

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

And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the Almighty God! Walk before Me and be perfect.

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

Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham. For I have made you a father of many nations.

Abram (the same is Abraham).

You are Jehovah, the God who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham,
