Bible Reading for January 05

Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy
name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and
in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him:
and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their
substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran;
and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan
they came.

6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of
Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.

7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this
land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched
his tent, [having] Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he
builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to
sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the land.

11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said
unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art] a fair woman to look
upon:

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that
they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save
thee alive.

13 Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be well with me for thy
sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians
beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.

15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and
the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he
asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of
Sarai Abram's wife.

18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done
unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she [was] thy wife?

19 Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have taken her to me to
wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her], and go thy way.

20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, and
his wife, and all that he had.

Genesis Chapter 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and
Lot with him, into the south.

2 And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place
where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;

4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there
Abram called on the name of the LORD.

5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for
their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen
of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and
thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren.

9 [Is] not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me:
if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou
depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it
[was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,
[even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto
Zoar.

11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they
separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the
plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.

13 But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up
now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and
southward, and eastward, and westward:

15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed
for ever.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can
number the dust of the earth, [then] shall thy seed also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it;
for I will give it unto thee.

18 Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre,
which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.

Genesis Chapter 14
1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of
Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;

2 [That these] made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of
Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of
Bela, which is Zoar.

3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they
rebelled.

5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that [were] with
him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and
the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which [is] by the
wilderness.

7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smote all
the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in
Hazezontamar.

8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king
of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same [is] Zoar;)
and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;

9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and
Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.

10 And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and
Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.

11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals,
and went their way.

12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods,
and departed.

13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt
in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and
these [were] confederate with Abram.

14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his
trained [servants], born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and
pursued [them] unto Dan.

15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and
smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is] on the left hand of
Damascus.

16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot,
and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the
slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that [were] with him, at the valley
of Shaveh, which [is] the king's dale.

18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the
priest of the most high God.

19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth:

20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into
thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the
goods to thyself.

22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD,
the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

23 That I will not [take] from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will
not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram
rich:

24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men
which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Genesis Chapter 15
1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying,
Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield, [and] thy exceeding great reward.

2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and
the steward of my house [is] this Eliezer of Damascus?

3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in
my house is mine heir.

4 And, behold, the word of the LORD [came] unto him, saying, This shall not be
thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine
heir.

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell
the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy
seed be.

6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

7 And he said unto him, I [am] the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the
Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

8 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of
three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young
pigeon.

10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each
piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an
horror of great darkness fell upon him.

13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger
in a land [that is] not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict
them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward
shall they come out with great substance.

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good
old age.

16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity
of the Amorites [is] not yet full.

17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a
smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed
have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river
Euphrates:

19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the
Jebusites.
