And Abram and Nahor took them wives. Abram's wife was called Sarai. And Nahor's wife, Milcah the daughter of Haran; which was father of Milcah and of Iscah.

But Sarai was barren and had no child.

Then took Terah: Abram his son, and Lot his son Haran's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law his son Abram's wife. And they went with him from Ur in Chaldea, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and dwelled there.

And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, with all their goods which they had gotten, and souls which they had begotten in Haran. And they departed to go into the land of Canaan. And when they were come into the land of Canaan,

And when he was come nigh for to enter into Egypt, he said unto Sarai his wife, "Behold, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon.

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

Sarai, Abram's wife, bare him no children. But she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

Wherefore she said unto Abram, "Behold the LORD hath closed me, that I can not bear. I pray thee go in unto my maid, peradventure I shall be multiplied by means of her." And Abram heard the voice of Sarai.

Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid the Egyptian - after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan - and gave her to her husband Abram, to be his wife.

Then said Sarai unto Abram, "Thou dost me unright, for I have given my maid into thy bosom: and now because she seeth that she hath conceived, I am despised in her sight: the LORD judge between thee and me."

Then said Abram to Sarai, "Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do with her as it pleaseth thee." And because Sarai fared foul with her, she fled from her.

And he said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence comest thou and whither wilt thou go?" And she answered, "I flee from my mistress Sarai."

And God said unto Abraham, "Sarai, thy wife, shall no more be called Sarai: but Sara shall her name be.

And Abraham fell upon his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? And shall Sara, that is ninety years old, bear?"

Then said God, "Nay. Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac. And I will make my covenant with him, that it shall be an everlasting covenant unto his seed after him.

But my covenant will I make with Isaac, which Sara shall bear unto thee: even this time, twelve month."

And Abraham went a pace into his tent unto Sara, and said, Make ready at once three pecks of fine meal; knead it, and make cakes."

And they said unto him, "Where is Sara, thy wife?" And he said, "In the tent."

And he said, "I will come again unto thee as soon as the fruit can live. And lo, Sara thy wife shall have a son." That heard Sara, out of the tent door which was behind his back.

Abraham and Sara were both old and well stricken in age, and it ceased to be with Sara after the manner as it is with wives.

And Sara laughed in herself saying, "Now I am waxed old, shall I give myself to lust, and my lord old also?"

Then said the LORD unto Abraham, "Wherefore doth Sara laugh saying, 'shall I of a surety bear a child, now when I am old?'

Is the thing too hard for the LORD to do? In the time appointed will I return unto thee, as soon as the fruit can have life. And Sara shall have a son."

Then Sara denied it, saying, "I laughed not." For she was afraid. But he said, "Yes, thou laughtest."

And Abraham said of Sara his wife, that she was his sister. Then Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and fetched Sara away.

Then took Abimelech sheep and oxen, menservants and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and delivered him Sara his wife again.

And unto Sara he said, "See, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, behold this thing shall be a covering to thine eyes unto all that are with thee and unto all men and an excuse."

For the LORD had closed to all the matrices of the house of Abimelech, because of Sara, Abraham's wife.

The LORD visited Sara as he had said, and did unto her according as he had spoken.

And Sara was with child and bare Abraham a son in his old age, even the same season which the LORD had appointed.

And Abraham called his son's name that was born unto him, which Sara bare him, Isaac:

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

She said also, "Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sara should have given children suck, or that I should have borne him a son in his old age?"

Sara saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, a mocking.

Then the LORD said unto Abraham, "Let it not be grievous unto thee, because of the lad and of thy bondmaid: But in all that Sara hath said unto thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Sara was a hundred and twenty seven years old, for so long lived she,

and then died in a head-city called Hebron in the land of Canaan. Then Abraham came to mourn Sara and to weep for her.

And then Abraham buried Sara his wife in the double cave of the field that lieth before Mamre, otherwise called Hebron in the land of Canaan.

And Sara my master's wife bare him a son, when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

Then Isaac brought her in to his mother Sara's tent, and took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her: and so was Isaac comforted over his mother.

Which field Abraham bought of the sons of Heth: There was Abraham buried, and Sara his wife.

These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, which Hagar the Egyptian, Sara's handmaid, bare unto Abraham.

The children of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez and Sarah - but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. The children of Perez, Hezron, and Hamul.

There they buried Abraham and Sara his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife. And there I buried Lea:

And the daughter of Asher was called Sarah.

The eighth Captain in the eighth month was Sibbecai an Hushathite of the kin of Sarah. And in his host twenty four thousand.

Look unto Abraham your father and unto Sarah that bare you: how I called him only, and blessed him and multiplied him.

And he fainted not in the faith, nor yet considered his own body, which was now dead, even when he was almost a hundred years old: neither yet that Sara was past childbearing.

For this is a word of promise, "About this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son."

Through faith Sarah also received strength to be with child, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful which had promised.

even as Sara obeyed Abraham and called him "Lord" - whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well, not being afraid of every shadow.
