And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

There were giants in the earth in those days. And also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore to them, they were mighty men who existed of old, men of renown.

And the flood was forty days on the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark; and it was lifted up above the earth.

And Canaan fathered Sidon, his first-born, and Heth,

Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

A message came from the LORD to him again: "This one will not be your heir. Instead, the child who will be born to you will be your heir."

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

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

And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

God continued to speak to Abraham, "You and your descendants who are born in the future are to keep my covenant that is, you and your descendants, generation after generation.

And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.

He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money every male among the people of Abraham's house and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.

and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

Indeed, I've made myself known to him in order that he may encourage his sons and his household that is born after him to keep the way of the LORD, and to do what is right and just, so that the LORD may bring about for Abraham what he has promised."

And the first-born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:

And they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.

And it came to pass on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, Lo, I lay last night with my father: let us give him wine to drink to-night also, and go thou in, lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.

And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day.

And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

(And Bethuel begot Rebecca.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.

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 it came to pass before he had ended speaking, that behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and she had her pitcher upon her shoulder.

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

And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master after she had grown old; and unto him has he given all that he has.

And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.

And his father Isaac said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your first-born, Esau.

And Laban said, It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.

And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.
