Genesis 16
[1] Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an
Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
[2] And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from
bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children
by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. [3] And Sarai Abram's wife
took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land
of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
[4] And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had
conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. [5] And Sarai said unto
Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she
saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between
me and thee. [6] But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do
to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from
her face.
[7] And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the
wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. [8] And he said, Hagar, Sarai's
maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from
the face of my mistress Sarai. [9] And the angel of the LORD said unto her,
Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
[10] And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed
exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. [11] And the angel of
the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and
shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
[12] And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every
man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
[13] And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest
me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? [14]
Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and
Bered.
[15] And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar
bare, Ishmael.
[16] And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to
Abram.

Genesis 17
[1] And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram,
and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
[2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee
exceedingly.
[3] And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, [4] As for me,
behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
[5] Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be
Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. [6] And I will make
thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come
out of thee. [7] And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy
seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God
unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
[8] And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein
thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and
I will be their God.
[9] And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and
thy seed after thee in their generations. [10] This is my covenant, which ye
shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among
you shall be circumcised. [11] And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your
foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. [12] And
he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in
your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any
stranger, which is not of thy seed. [13] He that is born in thy house, and he
that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall
be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
[14] And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not
circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my
covenant.
[15] And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her
name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. [16] And I will bless her, and give
thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of
nations; kings of people shall be of her.
[17] Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall
a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is
ninety years old, bear? [18] And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might
live before thee! [19] And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son
indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant
with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. [20] And as
for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him
fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and
I will make him a great nation. [21] But my covenant will I establish with
Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. [22]
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. [23] And
Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that
were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and
circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said
unto him.
[24] And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the
flesh of his foreskin.
[25] And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the
flesh of his foreskin.
[26] In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. [27] And
all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the
stranger, were circumcised with him.

Genesis 18
[1] And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the
tent door in the heat of the day;
[2] And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and
when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself
toward the ground,
[3] And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away,
I pray thee, from thy servant: [4] Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched,
and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
[5] And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that
ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So
do, as thou hast said.
[6] And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly
three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
[7] And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave
it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. [8] And he took butter, and
milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood
by them under the tree, and they did eat. [9] And they said unto him, Where is
Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
[10] And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of
life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent
door, which was behind him.
[11] Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to
be with Sarah after the manner of women. [12] Therefore Sarah laughed within
herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old
also? [13] And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying,
Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? [14] Is any thing too hard for
the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time
of life, and Sarah shall have a son. [15] Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed
not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
[16] And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went
with them to bring them on the way. [17] And the LORD said, Shall I hide from
Abraham that thing which I do; [18] Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a
great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in
him? [19] For I know him, that he will command his children and his household
after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment;
that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
[20] And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and
because their sin is very grievous; [21] I will go down now, and see whether
they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me;
and if not, I will know. [22] And the men turned their faces from thence, and
went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
[23] And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with
the wicked?
[24] Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also
destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? [25]
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the
wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee:
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? [26] And the LORD said, If I
find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place
for their sakes. [27] And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken
upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: [28] Peradventure
there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city
for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not
destroy it.
[29] And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be
forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. [30] And he
said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure
there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find
thirty there.
[31] And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord:
Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy
it for twenty's sake.
[32] And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this
once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it
for ten's sake.
[33] And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham:
and Abraham returned unto his place.

Genesis 19
[1] And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of
Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his
face toward the ground;
[2] And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's
house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and
go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
[3] And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered
into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and
they did eat.
[4] But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom,
compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every
quarter:
[5] And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came
in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. [6] And
Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, [7] And said,
I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. [8] Behold now, I have two daughters
which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do
ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for
therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
[9] And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to
sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than
with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break
the door.
[10] But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them,
and shut to the door.
[11] And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness,
both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
[12] And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy
sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out
of this place:
[13] For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great
before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. [14] And
Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and
said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But
he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. [15] And when the morning
arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two
daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
[16] And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand
of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful
unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. [17] And it
came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for
thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to
the mountain, lest thou be consumed. [18] And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so,
my Lord: [19] Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou
hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and
I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: [20] Behold
now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape
thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. [21] And he said
unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not
overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. [22] Haste thee, escape
thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the
name of the city was called Zoar. [23] The sun was risen upon the earth when
Lot entered into Zoar. [24] Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
[25] And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants
of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. [26] But his wife looked
back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
[27] And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before
the LORD:
[28] And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the
plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a
furnace.
[29] And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God
remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he
overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. [30] And Lot went up out of Zoar,
and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to
dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
[31] And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is
not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
[32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we
may preserve seed of our father. [33] And they made their father drink wine
that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he
perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
[34] And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the
younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine
this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of
our Father.
[35] And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger
arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she
arose.
[36] Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. [37] And
the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of
the Moabites unto this day. [38] And the younger, she also bare a son, and
called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto
this day.
