Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, “God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.”

To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the Lord.

When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters.

Then Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters.

Then Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters.

Then Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after he became the father of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters.

Then Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters.

Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters.

Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.

Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters.

Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son.

Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters.

that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

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

Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.

On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,

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

So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.

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

Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.

These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.

When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.

Now these are the records of the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood.

The sons of Japheth were Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

The sons of Javan were Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim.

The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

The sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.

The sons of Shem were Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

The sons of Aram were Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.

These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.

The Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

and Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and he had other sons and daughters.

and Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Shelah, and he had other sons and daughters.

and Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Eber, and he had other sons and daughters.

and Eber lived four hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and he had other sons and daughters.

and Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he became the father of Reu, and he had other sons and daughters.

and Reu lived two hundred and seven years after he became the father of Serug, and he had other sons and daughters.

and Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and he had other sons and daughters.

and Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and he had other sons and daughters.

Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans in order to enter the land of Canaan; and they went as far as Haran, and settled there.

The angel of the Lord said to her further,
“Behold, you are with child,
And you will bear a son;
And you shall call his name Ishmael,
Because the Lord has given heed to your affliction.

So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

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

But God said, “No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the very same day, as God had said to him.

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

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

He said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him.

Is anything too difficult for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

Then the two men said to Lot, “Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place;

Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, “Up, get out of this place, for the Lord will destroy the city.” But he appeared to his sons-in-law to be jesting.

The firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

As for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

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

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

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

Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

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

Therefore she said to Abraham, “Drive out this maid and her son, for the son of this maid shall not be an heir with my son Isaac.”

The matter distressed Abraham greatly because of his son.

And of the son of the maid I will make a nation also, because he is your descendant.”

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

So 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 wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

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

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 the burnt offering?”

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

Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.

Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

Then Abraham raised 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 in the place of his son.

and said, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son,

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

The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

So Abraham rose and bowed to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.

And he spoke with them, saying, “If it is your wish for me to bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and approach Ephron the son of Zohar for me,

Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth; even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,

“No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead.”

Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, commercial standard.

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

So the field and the cave that is in it, were deeded over to Abraham for a burial site by the sons of Heth.

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

but you will go to my country and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

The servant said to him, “Suppose the woman is not willing to follow me to this land; should I take your son back to the land from where you came?”

Then Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there!

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

But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this my oath; only do not take my son back there.”

Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.

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

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