CHAPTER 16
Genesis 16:1
1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an
Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Genesis 16:2
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. Genesis 16:3
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.
Genesis 16:4
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. Genesis 16:5
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. Genesis 16:6
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.
Genesis 16:7
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. Genesis 16:8
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. Genesis 16:9
9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit
thyself under her hands.
Genesis 16:10
10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed
exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. Genesis 16:11
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.
Genesis 16:12
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.
Genesis 16:13
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? Genesis 16:14
14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and
Bered.
Genesis 16:15
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar
bare, Ishmael.
Genesis 16:16
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
CHAPTER 17
Genesis 17:1
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.
Genesis 17:2
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee
exceedingly.
Genesis 17:3
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, Genesis 17:4
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of
many nations.
Genesis 17:5
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. Genesis 17:6
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and
kings shall come out of thee.
Genesis 17:7
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.
Genesis 17:8
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.
Genesis 17:9
9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and
thy seed after thee in their generations. Genesis 17:10
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. Genesis 17:11
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token
of the covenant betwixt me and you. Genesis 17:12
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. Genesis 17:13
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.
Genesis 17:14
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.
Genesis 17:15
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her
name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. Genesis 17:16
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.
Genesis 17:17
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? Genesis 17:18
18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! Genesis
17:19
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. Genesis 17:20
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. Genesis 17:21
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto
thee at this set time in the next year. Genesis 17:22
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. Genesis
17:23
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. Genesis 17:24
24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the
 flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis 17:25
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the
flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis 17:26
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. Genesis
17:27
27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of
the stranger, were circumcised with him. CHAPTER 18
Genesis 18:1
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;
Genesis 18:2
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,
Genesis 18:3
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I
pray thee, from thy servant:
Genesis 18:4
4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest
yourselves under the tree:
Genesis 18:5
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.
Genesis 18:6
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.
Genesis 18:7
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. Genesis 18:8
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. Genesis
18:9
9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the
tent.
Genesis 18:10
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.
Genesis 18:11
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be
with Sarah after the manner of women. Genesis 18:12
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I
have pleasure, my lord being old also? Genesis 18:13
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I
of a surety bear a child, which am old? Genesis 18:14
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. Genesis 18:15
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said,
Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Genesis 18:16
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went
with them to bring them on the way. Genesis 18:17
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Genesis
18:18
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all
the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? Genesis 18:19
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. Genesis
18:20
20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and
because their sin is very grievous; Genesis 18:21
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. Genesis 18:22
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but
Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Genesis 18:23
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with
the wicked?
Genesis 18:24
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?
Genesis 18:25
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? Genesis 18:26
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. Genesis 18:27
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak
unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: Genesis 18:28
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.
Genesis 18:29
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. Genesis 18:30
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.
Genesis 18:31
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.
Genesis 18:32
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.
Genesis 18:33
33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham:
and Abraham returned unto his place. CHAPTER 19
Genesis 19:1
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;
Genesis 19:2
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.
Genesis 19:3
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.
Genesis 19:4
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:
Genesis 19:5
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. Genesis 19:6
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, Genesis
19:7
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Genesis 19:8
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.
Genesis 19:9
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.
Genesis 19:10
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and
shut to the door.
Genesis 19:11
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. Genesis
19:12
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:
Genesis 19:13
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. Genesis
19:14
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. Genesis
19:15
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.
Genesis 19:16
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. Genesis 19:17
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. Genesis 19:18
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: Genesis 19:19
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: Genesis
19:20
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. Genesis
19:21
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. Genesis
19:22
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. Genesis 19:23
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Genesis 19:24
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from
the LORD out of heaven;
Genesis 19:25
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of
the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. Genesis 19:26
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:27
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before
the LORD:
Genesis 19:28
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.
Genesis 19:29
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. Genesis 19:30
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.
Genesis 19:31
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:
Genesis 19:32
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we
may preserve seed of our father. Genesis 19:33
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.
Genesis 19:34
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.
Genesis 19:35
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.
Genesis 19:36
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. Genesis
19:37
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the
father of the Moabites unto this day. Genesis 19:38
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.
