and surely the blood of your lives will I require. At the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of man. At the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

And I will establish My covenant with you. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

For all the land which you see I will give to you, and to your seed forever.

And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be counted.

And I will bring a bite of bread, and will comfort your hearts. After that You shall pass on. For this is why You have come to Your servant. And they said, Do so, as you have said.

And Abraham drew near and said, Will You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city. Will You also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are in it?

And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

Perhaps there will be five lacking from the fifty righteous. Will You destroy all the city for lack of five? And He said, If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it.

And he spoke to Him yet again, and said, Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And He said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

And he said, Oh let not Jehovah be angry, and I will speak. Perhaps there shall be thirty found there. And He said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.

And he said, Lo now, I have taken upon me to speak to Jehovah. Perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

And he said, Oh do not let Jehovah be angry, and I will speak only once more. Perhaps ten shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

and said, Behold now, my lords, please turn into your servant's house and stay all night, and wash your feet, and you shall rise up early and go your way. And they said, No, but we will stay in the street.

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

And Sarah said, God has made me laugh, so that all who hear will laugh with me.

And she said, Who could have said to Abraham, will Sarah suckle children? For I have borne a son to him in his old age.

And also, I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman, because he is your seed.

Rise up, lift up the boy and hold him up with your hand, for I will make him a great nation.

Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. Do to me according to the kindness that I have sworn to you, and to the land in which you have lived.

And Abraham said, I will swear.

And He said, Take now your son, your only one, Isaac, whom you love. And go into the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will name to you.

And Abraham said to his young men, You stay here with the ass. And I and the boy will go on to this way and worship, and come again to you.

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering. So they both went together.

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Will See; so that it is said until this day, In the mount of Jehovah it will be seen.

And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath of mine. Only do not bring my son there again.

And let it be that the young woman to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, please, so that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also.

And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.

And food was set before him to eat. But he said, I will not eat until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.

And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me.

And he said to me, Jehovah, before whom I walk, will send his Angel with you, and prosper your way. And you shall take a wife for my son from my kindred, and from my father's house.

and she says to me, Both you drink, and I will also draw for your camels, may she be the woman whom Jehovah has appointed for my master's son.

And she hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give drink to your camels also. So I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

Go now to the flock, and bring me from there two good kids of the goats. And I will make them delicious things for your father, such as he loves.
