Cain was intimate with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain became the builder of a city, and he named the city Enoch after his son.

Adam was intimate with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, for she said, “God has given me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”

A son was born to Seth also, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of Yahweh.

Adam lived 800 years after the birth of Seth, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

Seth lived 807 years after the birth of Enosh, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

Enosh lived 815 years after the birth of Kenan, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

Kenan lived 840 years after the birth of Mahalalel, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

Mahalalel lived 830 years after the birth of Jared, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

Jared lived 800 years after the birth of Enoch, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

And after the birth of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and fathered other sons and daughters.

Methuselah lived 782 years after the birth of Lamech, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

Lamech was 182 years old when he fathered a son.

Lamech lived 595 years after Noah’s birth, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful, and they took any they chose as wives for themselves.

The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterward, when the sons of God came to the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men.

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

But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark with your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives.

So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives entered the ark because of the waters of the flood.

On that same day Noah along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah’s wife, and his three sons’ wives entered the ark with him.

“Come out of the ark, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.

So Noah, along with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, came out.

God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

Noah’s sons who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.

These three were Noah’s sons, and from them the whole earth was populated.

When Noah awoke from his drinking and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

These are the family records of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They also had sons after the flood.

Japheth’s sons: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

Gomer’s sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

And Javan’s sons: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

The coastland peoples spread out into their lands. These are Japheth’s sons by their clans, in their nations. Each group had its own language.

Ham’s sons: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.

Cush’s sons: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And Raamah’s sons: Sheba and Dedan.

These are Ham’s sons, by their clans, according to their languages, in their own lands and their nations.

Shem’s sons were Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

Aram’s sons: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

Eber had two sons. One was named Peleg, for during his days the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.

Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were Joktan’s sons.

These are Shem’s sons by their clans, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their family records, in their nations. The nations on earth spread out from these after the flood.

After he fathered Arpachshad, Shem lived 500 years and fathered other sons and daughters.

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

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

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

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

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

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

After he fathered Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and fathered 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 set out together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.

Then the Angel of the Lord said to her:

You have conceived and will have a son.
You will name him Ishmael,
for the Lord has heard your cry of affliction.

So Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son Hagar had.

I will bless her; indeed, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will produce nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”

But God said, “No. Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac. I will confirm My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his future offspring.

Then Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the slaves born in his house or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day, just as God had said to him.

and his son Ishmael was 13 years old when the flesh of his foreskin was circumcised.

On that same day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.

The Lord said, “I will certainly come back to you in about a year’s time, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent behind him.

Is anything impossible for the Lord? At the appointed time I will come back to you, and in about a year she will have a son.”

Then the angels said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here: a son-in-law, your sons and daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of this place,

So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were going to marry his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

The firstborn gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

The younger also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.

Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time God had told him.

Abraham named his son who was born to him—the one Sarah bore to him—Isaac.

When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, 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 children? Yet I have borne a son for him in his old age.”

But Sarah saw the son mocking—the one Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham.

So she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave with her son, for the son of this slave will not be a coheir with my son Isaac!”

Now this was a very difficult thing for Abraham because of his son.

But I will also make a nation of the slave’s son because he is your offspring.”

“Take your son,” He said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.”

So Abraham got up early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took with him two of his young men and his son Isaac. He split wood for a burnt offering and set out to go to the place God had told him about.

Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac. In his hand he took the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.

Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father.”

And he replied, “Here I am, my son.”

Isaac said, “The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” Then the two of them walked on together.

When they arrived at the place that God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood.

Then Abraham reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.

Then He said, “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from Me.”

Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

and said, “By Myself I have sworn,” this is the Lord’s declaration: “Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son,

Now after these things Abraham was told, “Milcah also has borne sons to your brother Nahor:

He said to them, “If you are willing for me to bury my dead, listen to me and ask Ephron son of Zohar on my behalf

and I will have you swear by the Lord, God of heaven and God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I live,

but will go to my land and my family to take a wife for my son Isaac.”

The servant said to him, “Suppose the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Should I have your son go back to the land you came from?”

Abraham answered him, “Make sure that you don’t take my son back there.

The Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from my native land, who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘I will give this land to your offspring’—He will send His angel before you, and you can take a wife for my son from there.

If the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are free from this oath to me, but don’t let my son go back there.”

Before he had finished speaking, there was Rebekah—daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor—coming with a jug on her shoulder.

She answered him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”

Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master in her old age, and he has given him everything he owns.

My master put me under this oath: ‘You will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I live

but will go to my father’s household and to my family to take a wife for my son.’

He said to me, ‘The Lord before whom I have walked will send His angel with you and make your journey a success, and you will take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s household.

and who responds to me, ‘Drink, and I’ll draw water for your camels also’—let her be the woman the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.

Then I asked her: Whose daughter are you? She responded, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.

Then I bowed down, worshiped the Lord, and praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who guided me on the right way to take the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.

Rebekah is here in front of you. Take her and go, and let her be a wife for your master’s son, just as the Lord has spoken.”

Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. Dedan’s sons were the Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
