Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham, for I have made thee the father of a multitude of nations.

And God said to Abraham, And as for thee, thou shall keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.

And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.

Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him who is a hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!

And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had

And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

In the selfsame day Abraham was circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.

And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to the servant. And he hastened to dress it.

Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [and] well stricken in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

And LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I who am old certainly bear a child?

And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

And LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do,

since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of LORD, to do righteousness and justice, to the end that LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoke

And the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham yet stood before LORD.

And Abraham drew near, and said, Will thou consume righteous men with wicked men?

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.

And LORD went his way as soon as he had left off conversing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before LORD.

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.

And Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did thou see, that thou have done this thing?

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

And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.

And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bore sons.

For LORD had closed up fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.

And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.

And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah should give sons suck? For I have borne him a son in his old age.

And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son. For the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.

And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid. In all that Sarah says to thee, hearken to her voice. For in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou do.

And Abraham said, I will swear.

And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water which Abimelech's servants had taken away violently.

And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech. And the two made a covenant.

And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What do these seven ewe lambs mean which thou have set by themselves?

And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of LORD, the Everlasting God.

And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.

And it came to pass after these things, that God proved Abraham, and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.

And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. And he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and come again to you.

And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. And they went both of them together.

And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he said, Here I am, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son. So they went both of them together.

And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

And the agent of LORD called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.

And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, behind [him] a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

And Abraham called the name of that place LORD-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of LORD it shall be provided.

And the agent of LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,

So Abraham returned to his young men. And they rose up and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:

And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.

Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the sons of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,

And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.

And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

And Abraham hearkened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver that he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant.

to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan.

And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.

And Abraham was old, well stricken in age. And LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

And Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh.

And Abraham said to him, Beware thou that thou not bring my son there again.

And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

And he said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

And it came to pass, before he was done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

And he said, Blessed be LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, LORD has led me in the way to the house of my master's brothers.

And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

And I came this day to the fountain, and said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if thou do now prosper my way which I go,

And I bowed my head, and worshipped LORD, and blessed LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.

And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to LORD.

And they sent Rebekah their sister away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

But to the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts. And he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred seventy-five years.

And Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years], and was gathered to his people.

the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac.

And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee. For to thee, and to thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham thy father.
