Behold, I have two daughters which have known no man; them will I bring out unto you: do with them as it seemeth you good: Only unto these men do nothing, for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof."

And Lot went out and spake unto his sons-in-law, which should have married his daughters, and said, "Stand up and get you out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city!" But he seemed as though he had mocked, unto his sons-in-law.

Abraham rose up early and got him to the place where he stood before the LORD,

But yet when God destroyed the cities of the region, he thought upon Abraham: and sent Lot out from the danger of the overthrowing, when he overthrew the cities where Lot dwelled.

And God came to Abimelech by night in a dream and said to him, "See, thou art but a dead man for the woman's sake which thou hast taken away, for she is a man's wife."

And God said unto him in a dream, "I know it well that thou didst it in the pureness of thy heart: And therefore I kept thee that thou shouldest not sin against me, neither suffered I thee to come nigh her.

And Abraham answered, "I thought that peradventure the fear of God was not in this place, and that they should slay me for my wife's sake:

And after God caused me to wander out of my father's house, I said unto her, 'This kindness shalt thou show unto me in all places where we come, that thou say of me, how that I am thy brother.'"

And so Abraham prayed unto God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidens, so that they bare.

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

And Sara said, "God hath made me a laughingstock: for all that hear, will laugh at me."

And God heard the voice of the child. And the angel of God called Hagar out of heaven and said unto her, "What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God hath heard the voice of the child where he lieth.

And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.

And God was with the lad, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother got him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

And it chanced, the same season, that Abimelech and Phicol his chief captain spake unto Abraham saying, "God is with thee in all that thou doest.

Now therefore swear unto me even here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me nor my children, nor my children's children. But that thou shalt deal with me and the country where thou art a stranger, according unto the kindness that I have showed thee."

And Abraham planted a wood in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God:

After these deeds, God did prove Abraham and said unto him, "Abraham." And he answered, "Here am I."

And he said, "Take thy only son Isaac whom thou lovest, and get thee unto the land of Moria, and sacrifice him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will show thee."

Then Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his ass, and took two of his men with him, and Isaac his son: and clove wood for the sacrifice, and rose up and got him to the place which God had appointed him.

And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide him a sheep for sacrifice." So went they both together.

And when they came unto the place which God showed him, Abraham made an altar there and dressed the wood, and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, above upon the wood.

And he said, "Lay not thy hands upon the child, neither do anything at all unto him, for now I know that thou fearest God, in that thou hast not kept thine only son from me."

"Hear us, lord, thou art a prince of God among us. In the chiefest of our sepulchers bury thy dead: None of us shall forbid thee his sepulchre, that thou shouldest not bury thy dead therein."

that I may make thee swear by the LORD that is God of heaven and God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son, of the daughters of the Canaanites, among which I dwell.

The LORD God of heaven which took me from my father's house and from the land where I was born, and which spake unto me and sware unto me saying 'unto thy seed will I give this land' - he shall send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife unto my son from thence.

And he said, "LORD God of my master Abraham, send me good speed this day, and show mercy unto my master Abraham.

and said, "Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham which ceaseth not to deal mercifully and truly with my master. For the LORD hath brought me the way to my master's brother's house."

And I came this day unto the well and said, 'O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if it be so that thou makest my journey which I go, prosperous:

And I bowed myself, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham which had brought me the right way, to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

Then answered Laban and Bethuel, saying, "The thing is proceeded even out of the LORD, we can not therefore say unto thee, either good or bad:

And after the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son, which dwelt by the well of the living and seeing.

Then said Abimelech unto Isaac, "Get thee from me, for thou art mightier than we a great deal."

And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham thy father. Fear not; for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake."

that thou shouldest do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and have done unto thee nothing but good, and send thee away in peace: for thou art now the blessed of the LORD."

Now therefore take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and get thee to the fields, and take me some venison,

get thee to the flock, and bring me thence two good kids, and I will make meat of them for thy father, such as he loveth.

But Isaac said unto his son, "How cometh it that thou hast found it so quickly my son?" He answered, "The LORD thy God brought it to my hand."

God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of corn and wine.

And with thy sword shalt thou live and shalt be thy brother's servant; But the time will come, when thou shalt get the mastery, and loose his yoke from off thy neck."

but arise and get thee to Mesopotamia, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father: and there take thee a wife of the daughters of Laban, thy mother's brother.

And God almighty bless thee, increase thee, and multiply thee that thou mayest be a number of people,

and give thee the blessing of Abraham: both to thee and to thy seed with thee, that thou mayest possess the land - wherein thou art a stranger - which God gave unto Abraham."

And he dreamed: and behold there stood a ladder upon the earth, and the top of it reached up to heaven. And see, the angels of God went up and down upon it.

Yea, and the LORD stood upon it and said, "I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father and the God of Isaac: The land which thou sleepest upon will I give thee and thy seed.

And see, I am with thee, and will be thy keeper in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land: Neither will I leave thee; until I have made good all that I have promised thee."

And he was afraid, and said, "How fearful is this place? It is none other, but even the house of God and the gate of heaven!"

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will keep me in this journey which I go and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to put on,

so that I come again unto my father's house in safety: then shall the LORD be my God,

and this stone which I have set up on end, shall be God's house. And of all that thou shalt give me, will I give the tenth unto thee."

And he said unto them, "Is he in good health?" And they said, "He is in good health: and behold, his daughter Rachel cometh with the sheep."

Then was Jacob wroth with Rachel saying, "Am I in God's stead which keepeth from thee the fruit of thy womb?"

Then said Rachel, "God hath given sentence on my side, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son." Therefore called she him Dan.

And Rachel said, "God is turned, and I have made a change with my sister, and have gotten the upper hand." And she called his name Naphtali.

Then said Lea, "Good luck," and called his name Gad.

And God heard Lea, that she conceived and bare unto Jacob the fifth son.

Then said Lea, "God hath given me my reward, because I gave my maiden to my husband." And she called him Issachar.

Then said she, "God hath endued me with a good dowry. Now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." And called his name Zebulon.

And God remembered Rachel, heard her, and made her fruitful:

so that she conceived and bare a son, and said, "God hath taken away my rebuke."

and said unto them, "I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as in times past. Moreover the God of my father hath been with me.

And your father hath deceived me and changed my wages ten times: But God suffered him not to hurt me.

Thus hath God taken away your father's cattle and given them me.

And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream saying, 'Jacob?' And I answered, 'Here am I.'

I am the God of Bethel where thou anointedest the stone and where thou vowdest a vow unto me. Now arise and get thee out of this country, and return unto the land where thou wast born.'"

Moreover, all the riches which God hath taken from our father: that is ours and our children's. Now therefore whatsoever God hath said unto thee, that do."

And God came to Laban the Sirian in a dream by night, and said unto him, "Take heed to thyself, that thou speak not to Jacob ought save good."

for I am able to do you evil. But the God of your father spake unto me yesterday, saying, 'take heed that thou speak not to Jacob ought save good.'

Whatsoever was torn of beasts I brought it not unto thee, but made it good myself: of my hand didst thou require it, whether it was stolen by day or night.

And except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the God whom Isaac feareth, had been with me: surely thou hadst sent me away now all empty. But God beheld my tribulation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday."

that thou shalt not vex my daughters neither shalt take other wives unto them. Here is no man with us: behold, God is witness betwixt thee and me."

The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their fathers, be judge betwixt us." And Jacob sware by him that his father Isaac feared.

But Jacob went forth on his journey. And the angels of God came and met him.

And when Jacob saw them, he said, "This is God's host," and called the name of that same place Mahanaim.

And Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac: LORD, which saidest unto me, 'return unto thy country and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee.'

Thou saidest that thou wouldest surely do me good, and wouldest make my seed as the sand of the sea which can not be numbered for multitude."

And he said, "Thou shalt be called Jacob no more, but Israel. For thou hast wrestled with God and with men and hast prevailed."

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, "for I have seen God face to face, and yet is my life reserved."

And he lift up his eyes and saw the wives and their children, and said, "What are these which thou there hast?" And he said, "They are the children which God hath given thy servant."

Jacob answered, "O nay, but if I have found grace in thy sight, receive my present of my hand: for I have seen thy face as though I had seen the face of God: wherefore receive me to grace

and take my blessing that I have brought thee, for God hath given it me freely. And I have enough of all things." And so he compelled him to take it.

And he made there an altar, and there called upon the mighty God of Israel.

and spake unto his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this maiden unto my wife."

Then Hamor and Shechem went unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,

And unto Hamor and Shechem his son hearkened all that went out at the gate of his city. And all the men children were circumcised, whatsoever went out at the gates of his city.

And God said unto Jacob, "Arise and get thee up to Bethel, and dwell there. And make there an altar unto God that appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from Esau thy brother."

and let us arise and go up to Bethel, that I may make an altar there, unto God which heard me in the day of my tribulation and was with me in the way which I went."

And they departed. And the fear of God fell upon the cities that were round about them, that they durst not follow after the sons of Jacob.

And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because that God appeared unto him there, when he fled from his brother.

And God appeared unto Jacob again after he came out of Mesopotamia, and blessed him,

And God said unto him, "I am God almighty: grow and multiply; for people and a multitude of people shall spring of thee, yea and kings shall come out of thy loins.

And God departed from him in the place where he talked with him.

and called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.

The sons of Zilpah, Lea's maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons which were born him in Mesopotamia.

And Esau took his wives, his sons and daughters and all the souls of his house; his goods and all his cattle and all his substance which he had got in the land of Canaan, and went into a country away from his brother Jacob.

And Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he begat him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors.

And as soon as Joseph was come unto his brethren, they stripped him out of his gay coat that was upon him,

And they took Joseph's coat and killed a goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.

And they sent that gay coat and caused it to be brought unto their father and said, "This have we found: see, whether it be thy son's coat or no."
