King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
But thou, IsraelH3478, art my servantH5650, JacobH3290 whom I have chosenH977, the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 my friendH157.
AndG2532 the scriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137 which saithG3004+G1161, AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was imputedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343: andG2532 he was calledG2564 the FriendG5384 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH3212 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father'sH1 houseH1004, unto a landH776 that I will shewH7200 thee:
And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
So AbramH87 departedH3212, as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto him; and LotH3876 wentH3212 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657+H8141 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 out of HaranH2771.
And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother'sH251 sonH1121, and all their substanceH7399 that they had gatheredH7408, and the soulsH5315 that they had gottenH6213 in HaranH2771; and they went forthH3318 to goH3212 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.
And AbramH87 passed throughH5674 the landH776 unto the placeH4725 of SichemH7927, unto the plainH436 of MorehH4176. And the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the landH776.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 thisH2063 landH776: and there buildedH1129 he an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, who appearedH7200 unto him.
And he removedH6275 from thence unto a mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, having BethelH1008 on the westH3220, and HaiH5857 on the eastH6924: and there he buildedH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And AbramH87 journeyedH5265, going onH1980 stillH5265 toward the southH5045. {going…: Heb. in going and journeying}
And there was a famineH7458 in the landH776: and AbramH87 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there; for the famineH7458 was grievousH3515 in the landH776.
And it came to pass, whenH834 he was come nearH7126 to enterH935 into EgyptH4714, that he saidH559 unto SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I knowH3045 that thou art a fairH3303 womanH802 to look uponH4758:
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 thee, that they shall sayH559, This is his wifeH802: and they will killH2026 me, but they will save thee aliveH2421.
SayH559, I pray theeH4994, thou art my sisterH269: thatH4616 it may be wellH3190 with me for thy sake; and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421 because of theeH1558.
And it came to pass, that, when AbramH87 was comeH935 into EgyptH4714, the EgyptiansH4713 beheldH7200 the womanH802 that she was veryH3966 fairH3303.
The princesH8269 also of PharaohH6547 sawH7200 her, and commendedH1984 her beforeH413 PharaohH6547: and the womanH802 was takenH3947 into Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004.
And he entreatedH3190 AbramH87 wellH3190 for her sake: and he had sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and he assesH2543, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198, and she assesH860, and camelsH1581.
And the LORDH3068 plaguedH5060 PharaohH6547 and his houseH1004 with greatH1419 plaguesH5061 because ofH1697 SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802.
And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 AbramH87, and saidH559, What is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto me? why didst thou not tellH5046 me that she was thy wifeH802?
Why saidst thouH559, She is my sisterH269? so I might have takenH3947 her to me to wifeH802: now therefore behold thy wifeH802, takeH3947 her, and go thy wayH3212.
And PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 his menH582 concerning him: and they sent him awayH7971, and his wifeH802, and all that he had.
And he brought him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and tellH5608 the starsH3556, if thou be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him in the plainsH436 of MamreH4471: and he satH3427 in the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the dayH3117;
And he lift upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324 by him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himself toward the groundH776,
And saidH559, My LordH136, if now I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, pass not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650:
Let a littleH4592 waterH4325, I pray youH4994, be fetchedH3947, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselvesH8172 under the treeH6086:
And I will fetchH3947 a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort yeH5582 your heartsH3820; after thatH310 ye shall pass onH5674: for therefore are ye comeH5674 toH5921 your servantH5650. And they saidH1696, So doH6213, as thou hast saidH559. {comfort: Heb. stay} {are…: Heb. you have passed}
And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, Make ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearthH6213. {Make ready…: Heb. Hasten}
And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetchtH3947 a calfH1121+H1241 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto a young manH5288; and he hastedH4116 to dressH6213 it.
And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1121+H1241 which he had dressedH6213, and setH5414 it before themH6440; and he stoodH5975 by them under the treeH6086, and they did eatH398.
And they saidH559 unto him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559, Behold, in the tentH168.
And he saidH559, I will certainlyH7725 returnH7725 unto thee according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416; and, lo, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 it in the tentH168 doorH6607, which was behind himH310.
Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205 and well strickenH935 in ageH3117; and it ceasedH2308 to be with SarahH8283 after the mannerH734 of womenH802.
Therefore SarahH8283 laughedH6711 within herselfH7130, sayingH559, AfterH310 I am waxed oldH1086 shall I have pleasureH5730, my lordH113 being old alsoH2204?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhereforeH4100 did SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a suretyH552 bearH3205 a child, whichH589 am oldH2204?
IsH6381 any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for the LORDH3068? At the time appointedH4150 I will returnH7725 unto thee, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121.
Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I laughedH6711 not; for she was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, NayH3808; but thou didst laughH6711.
And the menH582 rose upH6965 from thence, and lookedH8259 towardH6440 SodomH5467: and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 with them to bring them on the wayH7971.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Shall I hideH3680 from AbrahamH85 that thing whichH834 I doH6213;
Seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surely become a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288 in him?
For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Because the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is greatH7227, and because their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievousH3513;
I will go downH3381 now, and seeH7200 whether they have doneH6213 altogetherH3617 according to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935 unto me; and if not, I will knowH3045.
And the menH582 turned their facesH6437 from thence, and wentH3212 toward SodomH5467: but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975 yetH5750 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And AbrahamH85 drew nearH5066, and saidH559, Wilt thou also destroyH5595 the righteousH6662 withH5973 the wickedH7563?
Peradventure there beH3426 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892: wilt thou also destroyH5595 and not spareH5375 the placeH4725 forH4616 the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that are thereinH7130?
That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 after this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563: and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563, that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199 of all the earthH776 doH6213 rightH4941?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, If I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will spareH5375 all the placeH4725 for their sakes.
And AbrahamH85 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136, whichH595 am but dustH6083 and ashesH665:
Peradventure there shall lackH2637 fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662: wilt thou destroyH7843 all the cityH5892 for lack of fiveH2568? And he saidH559, If I findH4672 there fortyH705 and fiveH2568, I will not destroyH7843 it.
And he spakeH1696 unto him yet againH3254, and saidH559, Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it for forty'sH705 sake.
And he saidH559 unto him, OhH4994 let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696: Peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it, if I findH4672 thirtyH7970 there.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136: Peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for twenty'sH6242 sake.
And he saidH559, Oh let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696 yetH389 but this onceH6471: Peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for ten'sH6235 sake.
And the LORDH3068 went his wayH3212, as soon asH834 he had leftH3615 communingH1696 with AbrahamH85: and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his placeH4725.
And he believedH539 in the LORDH3068; and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666.
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966+H3966.
And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talkedH1696 with him, sayingH559,
As for meH589, behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt be a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471. {many…: Heb. multitude of nations}
Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471 have I made theeH5414. {Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}
And I will makeH6509 thee exceedingH3966+H3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall come outH3318 of thee.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310, the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and I will be their GodH430. {wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285 therefore, thou, and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755.
This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after theeH310; Every man childH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135.
And ye shall circumciseH5243 the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall be a tokenH226 of the covenantH1285 betwixt me and you.
And he that is eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121 shall be circumcisedH4135 among you, every man childH2145 in your generationsH1755, he that is bornH3211 in the houseH1004, or boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of any strangerH1121+H5236, which is not of thy seedH2233. {he that is eight…: Heb. a son of eight days}
He that is bornH3211 in thy houseH1004, and he that is boughtH4736 with thy moneyH3701, must needsH4135 be circumcisedH4135: and my covenantH1285 shall be in your fleshH1320 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
And the uncircumcisedH6189 man childH2145 whoseH834 fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190 is not circumcisedH4135, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971; he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
Now SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802 bareH3205 him noH3808 childrenH3205: and she had an handmaidH8198, an EgyptianH4713, whose nameH8034 was HagarH1904.
And SaraiH8297 saidH559 unto AbramH87, Behold now, the LORDH3068 hath restrained meH6113 from bearingH3205: I pray thee, go inH935 unto my maidH8198; it mayH194 be that I may obtain childrenH1129 by her. And AbramH87 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297. {obtain…: Heb. be built by her}
And SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802 tookH3947 HagarH1904 her maidH8198 the EgyptianH4713, afterH7093 AbramH87 had dweltH3427 tenH6235 yearsH8141 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and gaveH5414 her to her husbandH376 AbramH87 to be his wifeH802.
And he went inH935 unto HagarH1904, and she conceivedH2029: and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, her mistressH1404 was despisedH7043 in her eyesH5869.
And SaraiH8297 saidH559 unto AbramH87, My wrongH2555 be upon thee: I have givenH5414 my maidH8198 into thy bosomH2436; and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, I was despisedH7043 in her eyesH5869: the LORDH3068 judgeH8199 between me and thee.
But AbramH87 saidH559 unto SaraiH8297, Behold, thy maidH8198 is in thy handH3027; doH6213 to her as it pleaseth theeH2896+H5869. And when SaraiH8297 dealt hardly withH6031 her, she fledH1272 from her faceH6440. {as…: Heb. that which is good in thine eyes} {dealt…: Heb. afflicted her}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 found herH4672 by a fountainH5869 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the fountainH5869 in the wayH1870 to ShurH7793.
And he saidH559, HagarH1904, Sarai'sH8297 maidH8198, whenceH335 camest thouH935? and whither wilt thou goH3212? And she saidH559, I fleeH1272 from the faceH6440 of my mistressH1404 SaraiH8297.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, ReturnH7725 to thy mistressH1404, and submitH6031 thyself under her handsH3027.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 exceedinglyH7235, that it shall not be numberedH5608 for multitudeH7230.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, BeholdH2009, thou art with childH2030, and shalt bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IshmaelH3458; because the LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 thy afflictionH6040. {Ishmael: that is, God shall hear}
And he will be a wildH6501 manH120; his handH3027 will be against every man, and every man's handH3027 against him; and he shall dwellH7931 in the presenceH6440 of all his brethrenH251.
And she calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 that spakeH1696 unto her, Thou GodH410 seest meH7210: for she saidH559, Have I also hereH1988 lookedH7200 after himH310 that seeth meH7210?
Wherefore the wellH875 was calledH7121 BeerlahairoiH883+H2416; behold, it is between KadeshH6946 and BeredH1260. {Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}
And HagarH1904 bareH3205 AbramH87 a sonH1121: and AbramH87 calledH7121 his son'sH1121 nameH8034, which HagarH1904 bareH3205, IshmaelH3458.
And AbramH87 was fourscoreH8084+H8141 and sixH8337 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when HagarH1904 bareH3205 IshmaelH3458 to AbramH87.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 willG3049 notG3364 imputeG3049 sinG266.
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
ForG1063 ifG1487 they which are ofG1537 the lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made voidG2758, andG2532 the promiseG1860 made of none effectG2673:
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
So thenG5620 they which be ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 willG3049 notG3364 imputeG3049 sinG266.
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
ForG1063 ifG1487 they which are ofG1537 the lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made voidG2758, andG2532 the promiseG1860 made of none effectG2673:
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
ForG1063 finding faultG3201 with themG846, he saithG3004, BeholdG2400, the daysG2250 comeG2064, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whenG2532 I will makeG4931 a newG2537 covenantG1242 withG1909 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 andG2532 withG1909 the houseG3624 of JudahG2455:
ThenG3767 verilyG3303 the firstG4413 covenant hadG2192 alsoG2532 ordinancesG1345 of divine serviceG2999, andG5037 a worldlyG2886 sanctuaryG39. {ordinances: or, ceremonies}
ForG1063 there wasG2680 a tabernacleG4633 madeG2680; the firstG4413, whereinG1722+G3739+G5037 was the candlestickG3087, andG2532 the tableG5132, andG2532 the shewbreadG4286+G740; whichG3748 is calledG3004 the sanctuaryG39. {the sanctuary: or, holy}
AndG1161 afterG3326 the secondG1208 veilG2665, the tabernacleG4633 whichG3588 is calledG3004 the Holiest of allG39+G39;
Which hadG2192 the goldenG5552 censerG2369, andG2532 the arkG2787 of the covenantG1242 overlaidG4028 round aboutG3840 with goldG5553, whereinG1722+G3739 was the goldenG5552 potG4713 that hadG2192 mannaG3131, andG2532 Aaron'sG2 rodG4464 that buddedG985, andG2532 the tablesG4109 of the covenantG1242;
AndG1161 overG5231 itG846 the cherubimsG5502 of gloryG1391 shadowingG2683 the mercyseatG2435; ofG4012 whichG3739 we cannotG3756+G2076 nowG3568 speakG3004 particularlyG2596+G3313.
NowG1161 when these thingsG5130 wereG2680 thusG3779 ordainedG2680, the priestsG2409 wentG1524 alwaysG1275 intoG1519+G3303 the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633, accomplishingG2005 the serviceG2999 of God.
ButG1161 intoG1519 the secondG1208 went the high priestG749 aloneG3441 onceG530 every yearG1763, notG3756 withoutG5565 bloodG129, whichG3739 he offeredG4374 forG5228 himselfG1438, andG2532 for the errorsG51 of the peopleG2992:
The HolyG40 GhostG4151 thisG5124 signifyingG1213, that the wayG3598 into the holiest of allG39 wasG5319 not yetG3380 made manifestG5319, while as the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633 wasG2192 yetG2089 standingG4714:
WhichG3748 was a figureG3850 forG1519 the timeG2540 then presentG1764, inG2596 whichG3739 were offeredG4374 bothG5037 giftsG1435 andG2532 sacrificesG2378, that couldG1410 notG3361 makeG5048 him that did the serviceG3000 perfectG5048, as pertaining toG2596 the conscienceG4893;
Which stood onlyG3440 inG1909 meatsG1033 andG2532 drinksG4188, andG2532 diversG1313 washingsG909, andG2532 carnalG4561 ordinancesG1345, imposedG1945 on them untilG3360 the timeG2540 of reformationG1357. {ordinances: or, rites, or, ceremonies}
ButG1161 ChristG5547 being comeG3854 an high priestG749 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, byG1223 a greaterG3187 andG2532 more perfectG5046 tabernacleG4633, notG3756 made with handsG5499, that is to sayG5123, notG3756 of thisG5026 buildingG2937;
NeitherG3761 byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 byG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129 he entered inG1525 onceG2178 intoG1519 the holy placeG39, having obtainedG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085 for us.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131, andG2532 the ashesG4700 of an heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 the uncleanG2840, sanctifiethG37 toG4314 the purifyingG2514 of the fleshG4561:
How muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2511 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himselfG1438 without spotG299 to GodG2316, purgeG2511 yourG5216 conscienceG4893 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041 toG1519 serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? {spot: or, fault}
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, thatG3704 by meansG1096 of deathG2288, forG1519 the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were underG1909 the firstG4413 testamentG1242, they which are calledG2564 might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of eternalG166 inheritanceG2817.
ForG1063 whereG3699 a testamentG1242 is, there must also of necessityG318 beG5342 the deathG2288 of the testatorG1303. {be: or, be brought in}
ForG1063 a testamentG1242 is of forceG949 afterG1909 men are deadG3498: otherwiseG1893 it is ofG2480 noG3379 strengthG2480 at allG3379 whileG3753 the testatorG1303 livethG2198.
WhereuponG3606 neitherG3761 the firstG4413 testament was dedicatedG1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. {dedicated: or, purified}
ForG1063 whenG5259 MosesG3475 had spokenG2980 everyG3956 preceptG1785 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, he tookG2983 the bloodG129 of calvesG3448 andG2532 of goatsG5131, withG3326 waterG5204, andG2532 scarletG2847 woolG2053, andG2532 hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 the bookG975+G846, andG2532 allG3956 the peopleG2992, {scarlet: or, purple}
SayingG3004, ThisG5124 is the bloodG129 of the testamentG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath enjoinedG1781 untoG4314 youG5209.
MoreoverG1161+G3668 he sprinkledG4472 with bloodG129 bothG2532 the tabernacleG4633, andG2532 allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009.
AndG2532 almostG4975 all thingsG3956 areG2511 byG2596 the lawG3551 purgedG2511 withG1722 bloodG129; andG2532 withoutG5565 shedding of bloodG130 isG1096 noG3756 remissionG859.
It was thereforeG3767 necessaryG318 that the patternsG5262 of thingsG3303 inG1722 the heavensG3772 should be purifiedG2511 with theseG5125; butG1161 the heavenly thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG5025.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 isG1525 notG3756 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the holy placesG39 made with handsG5499, which are the figuresG499 of the trueG228; butG235 intoG1519 heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 forG5228 usG2257:
NorG3761 yet thatG2443 he should offerG4374 himselfG1438 oftenG4178, asG5618 the high priestG749 enterethG1525 intoG1519 the holy placeG39 everyG2596 yearG1763 withG1722 bloodG129 of othersG245;
For thenG1893 mustG1163 heG846 oftenG4178 have sufferedG3958 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: butG1161 nowG3568 onceG530 inG1909 the endG4930 of the worldG165 hath he appearedG5319 toG1519 put awayG115 sinG266 byG1223 the sacrificeG2378 of himselfG846.
AndG2532 asG2596+G3745 it is appointedG606 unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, butG1161 afterG3326 thisG5124 the judgmentG2920:
SoG3779 ChristG5547 was onceG530 offeredG4374 toG1519 bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183; and unto them that lookG553 for himG846 shall he appearG3700+G1537 the second timeG1208 withoutG5565 sinG266 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
And he saidH559 unto him, I am the LORDH3068 that brought thee outH3318 of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it.
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564 to go outG1831 intoG1519 a placeG5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195 receiveG2983 forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219; andG2532 he went outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whitherG4226 he wentG2064.
By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG1093 of promiseG1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860:
ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 willG3049 notG3364 imputeG3049 sinG266.
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
ForG1063 ifG1487 they which are ofG1537 the lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made voidG2758, andG2532 the promiseG1860 made of none effectG2673:
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
And IG2504 giveG1325 unto themG846 eternalG166 lifeG2222; andG2532 they shallG622 neverG3364+G1519+G165 perishG622, neitherG2532+G3756 shallG726 anyG5100 man pluckG726 themG846 out ofG1537 myG3450 handG5495.
ToG1519 an inheritanceG2817 incorruptibleG862, andG2532 undefiledG283, andG2532 that fadeth not awayG263, reservedG5083 inG1722 heavenG3772 forG1519 youG5209, {for you: or, for us}
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
LikewiseG3668, ye youngerG3501, submit yourselvesG5293 unto the elderG4245. YeaG1161, allG3956 of you be subjectG5293 one to anotherG240, and be clothedG1463 with humilityG5012: forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, andG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.
Humble yourselvesG5013 thereforeG3767 underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of GodG2316, thatG2443 he may exaltG5312 youG5209 inG1722 due timeG2540:
CastingG1977 allG3956 yourG5216 careG3308 uponG1909 himG846; forG3754 heG846 carethG3199 forG4012 youG5216.
Be soberG3525, be vigilantG1127; becauseG3754 yourG5216 adversaryG476 the devilG1228, asG5613 a roaringG5612 lionG3023, walketh aboutG4043, seekingG2212 whomG5101 he may devourG2666:
WhomG3739 resistG436 stedfastG4731 in the faithG4102, knowingG1492 that the sameG846 afflictionsG3804 are accomplishedG2005 in yourG5216 brethrenG81 that are inG1722 the worldG2889.
ButG1161 the GodG2316 of allG3956 graceG5485, whoG3588 hath calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1519 hisG846 eternalG166 gloryG1391 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, after that ye have sufferedG3958 a whileG3641+G846, makeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675, stablishG4741, strengthenG4599, settleG2311 you.
To himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
ByG1223 SilvanusG4610, a faithfulG4103 brotherG80 unto youG5213, asG5613 I supposeG3049, I have writtenG1125 brieflyG1223+G3641, exhortingG3870, andG2532 testifyingG1957 that thisG5026 isG1511 the trueG227 graceG5485 of GodG2316 whereinG1519+G3739 ye standG2476.
The church that is atG1722 BabylonG897, elected together withG4899 you, salutethG782 youG5209; andG2532 so doth MarcusG3138 myG3450 sonG5207.
Greet yeG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 a kissG5370 of charityG26. PeaceG1515 be with youG5213 allG3956 that are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. AmenG281.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
AfterH310 these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceedingH3966 greatH7235 rewardH7939.
And AbramH87 saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, what wilt thou giveH5414 me, seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and the stewardH1121+H4943 of my houseH1004 is thisH1931 EliezerH461 of DamascusH1834?
And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, lo, one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423.
And, behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559, This shall not be thine heirH3423; but he that shall come forthH3318 out of thine own bowelsH4578 shall be thine heirH3423.
And he brought him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and tellH5608 the starsH3556, if thou be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be.
And he believedH539 in the LORDH3068; and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666.
And he saidH559 unto him, I am the LORDH3068 that brought thee outH3318 of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it.
And he saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, wherebyH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall inherit itH3423?
And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of three years oldH8027, and a she goatH5795 of three years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of three years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a young pigeonH1469.
And he tookH3947 unto him all these, and dividedH1334 them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 anotherH7453: but the birdsH6833 dividedH1334 he not.
And when the fowlsH5861 came downH3381 upon the carcasesH6297, AbramH87 drove them awayH5380.
And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him.
And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141;
And also that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310+H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399.
And thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872.
But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hitherH2008 againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH2008 fullH8003.
And it came to pass, that, when the sunH8121 went downH935, and it was darkH5939, behold a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 those piecesH1506. {a burning…: Heb. a lamp of fire}
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
The KenitesH7017, and the KenizzitesH7074, and the KadmonitesH6935,
And the HittitesH2850, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the RephaimsH7497,
And the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the JebusitesH2983.
And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966+H3966.
And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talkedH1696 with him, sayingH559,
As for meH589, behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt be a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471. {many…: Heb. multitude of nations}
Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471 have I made theeH5414. {Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}
And I will makeH6509 thee exceedingH3966+H3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall come outH3318 of thee.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310, the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and I will be their GodH430. {wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285 therefore, thou, and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755.
This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after theeH310; Every man childH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135.
And ye shall circumciseH5243 the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall be a tokenH226 of the covenantH1285 betwixt me and you.
And he that is eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121 shall be circumcisedH4135 among you, every man childH2145 in your generationsH1755, he that is bornH3211 in the houseH1004, or boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of any strangerH1121+H5236, which is not of thy seedH2233. {he that is eight…: Heb. a son of eight days}
He that is bornH3211 in thy houseH1004, and he that is boughtH4736 with thy moneyH3701, must needsH4135 be circumcisedH4135: and my covenantH1285 shall be in your fleshH1320 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
And the uncircumcisedH6189 man childH2145 whoseH834 fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190 is not circumcisedH4135, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971; he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, As for SaraiH8297 thy wifeH802, thou shalt not callH7121 her nameH8034 SaraiH8297, butH3588 SarahH8283 shall her nameH8034 be. {Sarah: that is Princess}
And I will blessH1288 her, and giveH5414 thee a sonH1121 also of her: yea, I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peopleH5971 shall be of her. {she…: Heb. she shall become nations}
Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto GodH430, O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 before theeH6440!
And GodH430 saidH559, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall bearH3205 thee a sonH1121 indeedH61; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IsaacH3327: and I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with him for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, and with his seedH2233 after himH310.
And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heard theeH8085: Behold, I have blessedH1288 him, and will make him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966+H3966; twelveH6240+H8147 princesH5387 shall he begetH3205, and I will make himH5414 a greatH1419 nationH1471.
But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, which SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 unto thee at this set timeH4150 in the nextH312 yearH8141.
And he left offH3615 talkingH1696 with him, and GodH430 went upH5927 from AbrahamH85.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121, and all that were bornH3211 in his houseH1004, and all that were boughtH4736 with his moneyH3701, every maleH2145 among the menH582 of Abraham'sH85 houseH1004; and circumcisedH4135 the fleshH1320 of their foreskinH6190 in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117, as GodH430 had saidH1696 unto him.
And AbrahamH85 was ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
And IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121 was thirteenH6240+H7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
In the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 was AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135, and IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121.
And all the menH582 of his houseH1004, bornH3211 in the houseH1004, and boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of the strangerH1121+H5236, were circumcisedH4135 with him.
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285 therefore, thou, and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315: and unto them were sonsH1121 bornH3205 afterH310 the floodH3999.
The sonsH1121 of JaphethH3315; GomerH1586, and MagogH4031, and MadaiH4074, and JavanH3120, and TubalH8422, and MeshechH4902, and TirasH8494.
And the sonsH1121 of GomerH1586; AshkenazH813, and RiphathH7384, and TogarmahH8425.
And the sonsH1121 of JavanH3120; ElishahH473, and TarshishH8659, KittimH3794, and DodanimH1721. {Dodanim: or, as some read it, Rodanim}
By these were the islesH339 of the GentilesH1471 divided inH6504 their landsH776; every oneH376 after his tongueH3956, after their familiesH4940, in their nationsH1471.
And the sonsH1121 of HamH2526; CushH3568, and MizraimH4714, and PhutH6316, and CanaanH3667.
And the sonsH1121 of CushH3568; SebaH5434, and HavilahH2341, and SabtahH5454, and RaamahH7484, and SabtechaH5455: and the sonsH1121 of RaamahH7484; ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719.
And CushH3568 begatH3205 NimrodH5248: he beganH2490 to beH1961 a mighty oneH1368 in the earthH776.
He was a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: whereforeH3651 it is saidH559, Even as NimrodH5248 the mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the beginningH7225 of his kingdomH4467 was BabelH894, and ErechH751, and AccadH390, and CalnehH3641, in the landH776 of ShinarH8152. {Babel: Gr. Babylon}
Out of that landH776 went forthH3318 AsshurH804, and buildedH1129 NinevehH5210, and the cityH5892 RehobothH7344, and CalahH3625, {went…: or, he went out into Assyria} {the city…: or, the streets of the city}
And ResenH7449 between NinevehH5210 and CalahH3625: the same is a greatH1419 cityH5892.
And MizraimH4714 begatH3205 LudimH3866, and AnamimH6047, and LehabimH3853, and NaphtuhimH5320,
And PathrusimH6625, and CasluhimH3695, (out of whom cameH3318 PhilistimH6430,) and CaphtorimH3732.
And CanaanH3667 begatH3205 SidonH6721 his firstbornH1060, and HethH2845, {Sidon: Heb. Tzidon}
And the JebusiteH2983, and the AmoriteH567, and the GirgasiteH1622,
And the HiviteH2340, and the ArkiteH6208, and the SiniteH5513,
And the ArvaditeH721, and the ZemariteH6786, and the HamathiteH2577: and afterwardH310 were the familiesH4940 of the CanaanitesH3669 spread abroadH6327.
And the borderH1366 of the CanaanitesH3669 was from SidonH6721, as thou comestH935 to GerarH1642, unto GazaH5804; as thou goestH935, unto SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, and AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, even unto LashaH3962. {Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
These are the sonsH1121 of HamH2526, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their countriesH776, and in their nationsH1471.
Unto ShemH8035 also, the fatherH1 of all the childrenH1121 of EberH5677, the brotherH251 of JaphethH3315 the elderH1419, even to him were children bornH3205.
The childrenH1121 of ShemH8035; ElamH5867, and AsshurH804, and ArphaxadH775, and LudH3865, and AramH758. {Arphaxad: Heb. Arpachshad}
And the childrenH1121 of AramH758; UzH5780, and HulH2343, and GetherH1666, and MashH4851.
And ArphaxadH775 begatH3205 SalahH7974; and SalahH7974 begatH3205 EberH5677. {Salah: Heb. Shelah}
And unto EberH5677 were bornH3205 twoH8147 sonsH1121: the nameH8034 of oneH259 was PelegH6389; for in his daysH3117 was the earthH776 dividedH6385; and his brother'sH251 nameH8034 was JoktanH3355. {Peleg: that is Division}
And JoktanH3355 begatH3205 AlmodadH486, and ShelephH8026, and HazarmavethH2700, and JerahH3392,
And HadoramH1913, and UzalH187, and DiklahH1853,
And ObalH5745, and AbimaelH39, and ShebaH7614,
And OphirH211, and HavilahH2341, and JobabH3103: all these were the sonsH1121 of JoktanH3355.
And their dwellingH4186 was from MeshaH4852, as thou goestH935 unto SepharH5611 a mountH2022 of the eastH6924.
These are the sonsH1121 of ShemH8035, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their landsH776, after their nationsH1471.
These are the familiesH4940 of the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, after their generationsH8435, in their nationsH1471: and by these were the nationsH1471 dividedH6504 in the earthH776 afterH310 the floodH3999.
And the whole earthH776 was of oneH259 languageH8193, and of oneH259 speechH1697. {language: Heb. lip.} {speech: Heb. words}
And it came to pass, as they journeyedH5265 from the eastH6924, that they foundH4672 a plainH1237 in the landH776 of ShinarH8152; and they dweltH3427 there. {from…: or, eastward}
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, Go toH3051, let us makeH3835 brickH3843, and burnH8313 them throughlyH8316. And they had brickH3843 for stoneH68, and slimeH2564 hadH1961 they for morterH2563. {they said…: Heb. a man said to his neighbour} {burn…: Heb. burn them to a burning}
And they saidH559, Go toH3051, let us buildH1129 us a cityH5892 and a towerH4026, whose topH7218 may reach unto heavenH8064; and let us makeH6213 us a nameH8034, lest we be scattered abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776.
And the LORDH3068 came downH3381 to seeH7200 the cityH5892 and the towerH4026, which the childrenH1121 of menH120 buildedH1129.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 is oneH259, and they have all oneH259 languageH8193; and this they beginH2490 to doH6213: and now nothingH3808+H3605 will be restrainedH1219 from them, which they have imaginedH2161 to doH6213.
Go toH3051, let us go downH3381, and there confoundH1101 their languageH8193, thatH834 they may not understandH8085 oneH376 another'sH7453 speechH8193.
So the LORDH3068 scattered them abroadH6327 from thenceH8033 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776: and they left offH2308 to buildH1129 the cityH5892.
Therefore is the name of itH8034 calledH7121 BabelH894; because the LORDH3068 did there confoundH1101 the languageH8193 of all the earthH776: and from thence didH6327 the LORDH3068 scatter them abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776. {Babel: that is, Confusion}
These are the generationsH8435 of ShemH8035: ShemH8035 was an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and begatH3205 ArphaxadH775 two yearsH8141 afterH310 the floodH3999:
And ShemH8035 livedH2421 afterH310 he begatH3205 ArphaxadH775 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And ArphaxadH775 livedH2425 fiveH2568 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 SalahH7974:
And ArphaxadH775 livedH2421 afterH310 he begatH3205 SalahH7974 fourH702 hundredH3967+H8141 and threeH7969 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And SalahH7974 livedH2425 thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 EberH5677:
And SalahH7974 livedH2421 afterH310 he begatH3205 EberH5677 fourH702 hundredH3967+H8141 and threeH7969 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And EberH5677 livedH2421 fourH702 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 PelegH6389: {Peleg: Gr. Phalec}
And EberH5677 livedH2421 afterH310 he begatH3205 PelegH6389 fourH702 hundredH3967+H8141 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And PelegH6389 livedH2421 thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 ReuH7466:
And PelegH6389 livedH2421 afterH310 he begatH3205 ReuH7466 two hundredH3967+H8141 and nineH8672 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And ReuH7466 livedH2421 twoH8147 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 SerugH8286: {Serug: Gr. Saruch}
And ReuH7466 livedH2421 afterH310 he begatH3205 SerugH8286 two hundredH3967+H8141 and sevenH7651 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And SerugH8286 livedH2421 thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 NahorH5152:
And SerugH8286 livedH2421 afterH310 he begatH3205 NahorH5152 two hundredH3967 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And NahorH5152 livedH2421 nineH8672 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 TerahH8646: {Terah: Gr. Thara}
And NahorH5152 livedH2421 afterH310 he begatH3205 TerahH8646 an hundredH3967+H8141 and nineteenH6240+H8672 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And TerahH8646 livedH2421 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 AbramH87, NahorH5152, and HaranH2039.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of TerahH8646: TerahH8646 begatH3205 AbramH87, NahorH5152, and HaranH2039; and HaranH2039 begatH3205 LotH3876.
And HaranH2039 diedH4191 beforeH6440 his fatherH1 TerahH8646 in the landH776 of his nativityH4138, in UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778.
And AbramH87 and NahorH5152 tookH3947 them wivesH802: the nameH8034 of Abram'sH87 wifeH802 was SaraiH8297; and the nameH8034 of Nahor'sH5152 wifeH802, MilcahH4435, the daughterH1323 of HaranH2039, the fatherH1 of MilcahH4435, and the fatherH1 of IscahH3252.
But SaraiH8297 was barrenH6135; she had no childH2056.
And TerahH8646 tookH3947 AbramH87 his sonH1121, and LotH3876 the sonH1121 of HaranH2039 his son'sH1121 sonH1121, and SaraiH8297 his daughter in lawH3618, his sonH1121 Abram'sH87 wifeH802; and they went forthH3318 with them from UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to goH3212 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and they cameH935 unto HaranH2771, and dweltH3427 there.
And the daysH3117 of TerahH8646 were two hundredH3967+H8141 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141: and TerahH8646 diedH4191 in HaranH2771.
BeholdG2396, IG1473 PaulG3972 sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 ifG1437 ye be circumcisedG4059, ChristG5547 shall profitG5623 youG5209 nothingG3762.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
AfterH310 these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceedingH3966 greatH7235 rewardH7939.
And AbramH87 saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, what wilt thou giveH5414 me, seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and the stewardH1121+H4943 of my houseH1004 is thisH1931 EliezerH461 of DamascusH1834?
And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, lo, one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423.
And, behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559, This shall not be thine heirH3423; but he that shall come forthH3318 out of thine own bowelsH4578 shall be thine heirH3423.
And he brought him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and tellH5608 the starsH3556, if thou be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be.
And he believedH539 in the LORDH3068; and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666.
And he saidH559 unto him, I am the LORDH3068 that brought thee outH3318 of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it.
And he saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, wherebyH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall inherit itH3423?
And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of three years oldH8027, and a she goatH5795 of three years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of three years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a young pigeonH1469.
And he tookH3947 unto him all these, and dividedH1334 them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 anotherH7453: but the birdsH6833 dividedH1334 he not.
And when the fowlsH5861 came downH3381 upon the carcasesH6297, AbramH87 drove them awayH5380.
And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him.
And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141;
And also that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310+H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399.
And thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872.
But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hitherH2008 againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH2008 fullH8003.
And it came to pass, that, when the sunH8121 went downH935, and it was darkH5939, behold a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 those piecesH1506. {a burning…: Heb. a lamp of fire}
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
The KenitesH7017, and the KenizzitesH7074, and the KadmonitesH6935,
And the HittitesH2850, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the RephaimsH7497,
And the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the JebusitesH2983.
And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of three years oldH8027, and a she goatH5795 of three years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of three years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a young pigeonH1469.
And he tookH3947 unto him all these, and dividedH1334 them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 anotherH7453: but the birdsH6833 dividedH1334 he not.
And when the fowlsH5861 came downH3381 upon the carcasesH6297, AbramH87 drove them awayH5380.
And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him.
And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141;
And also that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310+H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399.
And thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872.
But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hitherH2008 againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH2008 fullH8003.
And it came to pass, that, when the sunH8121 went downH935, and it was darkH5939, behold a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 those piecesH1506. {a burning…: Heb. a lamp of fire}
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to observeH8104 to doH6213 all his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117; that all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and overtakeH5381 thee:
CursedH779 shalt thou be in the cityH5892, and cursedH779 shalt thou be in the fieldH7704.
CursedH779 shall be thy basketH2935 and thy storeH4863.
CursedH779 shall be the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990, and the fruitH6529 of thy landH127, the increaseH7698 of thy kineH504, and the flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629.
CursedH779 shalt thou be when thou comest inH935, and cursedH779 shalt thou be when thou goest outH3318.
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 upon thee cursingH3994, vexationH4103, and rebukeH4045, in all that thou settestH4916 thine handH3027 unto for to doH6213, until thou be destroyedH8045, and until thou perishH6 quicklyH4118; becauseH6440 of the wickednessH7455 of thy doingsH4611, whereby thou hast forsakenH5800 me. {for…: Heb. which thou wouldest do}
The LORDH3068 shall make the pestilenceH1698 cleaveH1692 unto thee, until he have consumedH3615 thee from off the landH127, whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with a consumptionH7829, and with a feverH6920, and with an inflammationH1816, and with an extreme burningH2746, and with the swordH2719, and with blastingH7711, and with mildewH3420; and they shall pursueH7291 thee until thou perishH6. {sword: or, drought}
And thy heavenH8064 that is over thy headH7218 shall be brassH5178, and the earthH776 that is under thee shall be ironH1270.
The LORDH3068 shall makeH5414 the rainH4306 of thy landH776 powderH80 and dustH6083: from heavenH8064 shall it come downH3381 upon thee, until thou be destroyedH8045.
The LORDH3068 shall causeH5414 thee to be smittenH5062 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH341: thou shalt go outH3318 oneH259 wayH1870 against them, and fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 beforeH6440 them: and shalt be removedH2189 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. {removed: Heb. for a removing}
And thy carcaseH5038 shall be meatH3978 unto all fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and unto the beastsH929 of the earthH776, and no man shall fray them awayH2729.
The LORDH3068 will smiteH5221 thee with the botchH7822 of EgyptH4714, and with the emerodsH2914+H6076, and with the scabH1618, and with the itchH2775, whereof thou canstH3201 not be healedH7495.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with madnessH7697, and blindnessH5788, and astonishmentH8541 of heartH3824:
And thou shalt gropeH4959 at noondayH6672, as the blindH5787 gropethH4959 in darknessH653, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in thy waysH1870: and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and spoiledH1497 evermoreH3117, and no man shall saveH3467 thee.
Thou shalt betrothH781 a wifeH802, and anotherH312 manH376 shall lieH7901+H7693 with her: thou shalt buildH1129 an houseH1004, and thou shalt not dwellH3427 therein: thou shalt plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, and shalt not gather the grapesH2490 thereof. {gather…: Heb. profane, or, use it as common meat}
Thine oxH7794 shall be slainH2873 before thine eyesH5869, and thou shalt not eatH398 thereof: thine assH2543 shall be violently taken awayH1497 from before thy faceH6440, and shall not be restoredH7725 to thee: thy sheepH6629 shall be givenH5414 unto thine enemiesH341, and thou shalt have none to rescueH3467 them. {shall not…: Heb. shall not return to thee}
Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall be givenH5414 unto anotherH312 peopleH5971, and thine eyesH5869 shall lookH7200, and failH3616 with longing for them all the dayH3117 long: and there shall be no mightH410 in thine handH3027.
The fruitH6529 of thy landH127, and all thy laboursH3018, shall a nationH5971 which thou knowestH3045 not eat upH398; and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and crushedH7533 alwayH3117:
So that thou shalt be madH7696 for the sightH4758 of thine eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee in the kneesH1290, and in the legsH7785, with a soreH7451 botchH7822 that cannotH3201 be healedH7495, from the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 unto the top of thy headH6936.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH3212 thee, and thy kingH4428 which thou shalt setH6965 over thee, unto a nationH1471 which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045; and there shalt thou serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And thou shalt become an astonishmentH8047, a proverbH4912, and a bywordH8148, among all nationsH5971 whither the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 thee.
Thou shalt carryH3318 muchH7227 seedH2233 outH3318 into the fieldH7704, and shalt gatherH622 but littleH4592 inH622; for the locustH697 shall consumeH2628 it.
Thou shalt plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and dressH5647 them, but shalt neither drinkH8354 of the wineH3196, nor gatherH103 the grapes; for the wormsH8438 shall eatH398 them.
Thou shalt have olive treesH2132 throughout all thy coastsH1366, but thou shalt not anointH5480 thyself with the oilH8081; for thine oliveH2132 shall castH5394 his fruit.
Thou shalt begetH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall goH3212 into captivityH7628. {thou shalt not…: Heb. they shall not be thine}
All thy treesH6086 and fruitH6529 of thy landH127 shall the locustH6767 consumeH3423. {consume: or, possess}
The strangerH1616 that is withinH7130 thee shall get upH5927 above thee veryH4605 highH4605; and thou shalt come downH3381 veryH4295 lowH4295.
He shall lendH3867 to thee, and thou shalt not lendH3867 to him: he shall be the headH7218, and thou shalt be the tailH2180.
Moreover all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and shall pursueH7291 thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, till thou be destroyedH8045; because thou hearkenedstH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which he commandedH6680 thee:
And they shall be upon thee for a signH226 and for a wonderH4159, and upon thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769.
Because thou servedstH5647 not the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with joyfulnessH8057, and with gladnessH2898 of heartH3824, for the abundanceH7230 of all things;
Therefore shalt thou serveH5647 thine enemiesH341 which the LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 against thee, in hungerH7458, and in thirstH6772, and in nakednessH5903, and in wantH2640 of all things: and he shall putH5414 a yokeH5923 of ironH1270 upon thy neckH6677, until he have destroyedH8045 thee.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH5375 a nationH1471 against thee from farH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, as swift as the eagleH5404 fliethH1675; a nationH1471 whose tongueH3956 thou shalt not understandH8085; {understand: Heb. hear}
A nationH1471 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, which shall not regardH5375 the personH6440 of the oldH2205, nor shew favourH2603 to the youngH5288: {of fierce…: Heb. strong of face}
And he shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, and the fruitH6529 of thy landH127, until thou be destroyedH8045: which also shall not leaveH7604 thee either cornH1715, wineH8492, or oilH3323, or the increaseH7698 of thy kineH504, or flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629, until he have destroyedH6 thee.
And he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179, until thy highH1364 and fencedH1219 wallsH2346 come downH3381, whereinH2004 thou trustedstH982, throughout all thy landH776: and he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179 throughout all thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.
And thou shalt eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thine own bodyH990, the fleshH1320 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee, in the siegeH4692, and in the straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee: {body: Heb. belly}
So that the manH376 that is tenderH7390 among you, and veryH3966 delicateH6028, his eyeH5869 shall be evilH3415 toward his brotherH251, and toward the wifeH802 of his bosomH2436, and toward the remnantH3499 of his childrenH1121 which he shall leaveH3498:
So that he will not giveH5414 to anyH259 of them of the fleshH1320 of his childrenH1121 whom he shall eatH398: because he hath nothing leftH7604 him in the siegeH4692, and in the straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee in all thy gatesH8179.
The tenderH7390 and delicateH6028 woman among you, which would not adventureH5254 to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 upon the groundH776 for delicatenessH6026 and tendernessH7391, her eyeH5869 shall be evilH3415 toward the husbandH376 of her bosomH2436, and toward her sonH1121, and toward her daughterH1323,
And toward her young oneH7988 that cometh outH3318 from between her feetH7272, and toward her childrenH1121 which she shall bearH3205: for she shall eatH398 them for wantH2640 of all things secretlyH5643 in the siegeH4692 and straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemyH341 shall distressH6693 thee in thy gatesH8179. {young one: Heb. afterbirth}
If thou wilt not observeH8104 to doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, that thou mayest fearH3372 this gloriousH3513 and fearfulH3372 nameH8034, THE LORDH3068 THY GODH430;
Then the LORDH3068 will makeH6381 thy plaguesH4347 wonderfulH6381, and the plaguesH4347 of thy seedH2233, even greatH1419 plaguesH4347, and of long continuanceH539, and soreH7451 sicknessesH2483, and of long continuanceH539.
Moreover he will bringH7725 upon thee all the diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714, which thou wast afraidH3025 ofH6440; and they shall cleaveH1692 unto thee.
Also every sicknessH2483, and every plagueH4347, which is not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of this lawH8451, them will the LORDH3068 bringH5927 upon thee, until thou be destroyedH8045. {bring: Heb. cause to ascend}
And ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH4962, whereasH834 ye were as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230; because thou wouldest not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
And it shall come to pass, that as the LORDH3068 rejoicedH7797 over you to do you goodH3190, and to multiplyH7235 you; so the LORDH3068 will rejoiceH7797 over you to destroyH6 you, and to bring you to noughtH8045; and ye shall be pluckedH5255 from off the landH127 whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it.
And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 thee among all peopleH5971, from the one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the otherH7097; and there thou shalt serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045, even woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And among theseH1992 nationsH1471 shalt thou find no easeH7280, neither shall the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 have restH4494: but the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee there a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, and failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and sorrowH1671 of mindH5315:
And thy lifeH2416 shall hangH8511 in doubt beforeH5048 thee; and thou shalt fearH6342 dayH3119 and nightH3915, and shalt have none assuranceH539 of thy lifeH2416:
In the morningH1242 thou shalt sayH559, Would God it wereH5414 evenH6153! and at evenH6153 thou shalt sayH559, Would God it wereH5414 morningH1242! for the fearH6343 of thine heartH3824 wherewith thou shalt fearH6342, and for the sightH4758 of thine eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200.
And the LORDH3068 shall bringH7725 thee into EgyptH4714 againH7725 with shipsH591, by the wayH1870 whereof I spakeH559 unto thee, Thou shalt seeH7200 it no more againH3254: and there ye shall be soldH4376 unto your enemiesH341 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198, and no man shall buyH7069 you.
ForG1161 ifG1487 the firstfruitG536 be holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532 holy: andG2532 ifG1487 the rootG4491 be holyG40, soG2532 are the branchesG2798.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is a manG444 profitedG5623, ifG1437 he shall gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, andG1161 loseG2210 his ownG846 soulG5590? orG2228 whatG5101 shall a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for hisG846 soulG5590?
Being justifiedG1344 freelyG1432 by hisG846 graceG5485 throughG1223 the redemptionG629 that is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
ForG1063 it isG2076 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 youG5213 bothG2532 to willG2309 andG2532 to doG1754 ofG5228 his good pleasureG2107.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 beG1453 notG3756 raisedG1453, yourG5216 faithG4102 is vainG3152; ye areG2075 yetG2089 inG1722 yourG5216 sinsG266.
Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 beG1453 notG3756 raisedG1453, yourG5216 faithG4102 is vainG3152; ye areG2075 yetG2089 inG1722 yourG5216 sinsG266.
ThenG686 they alsoG2532 which are fallen asleepG2837 inG1722 ChristG5547 are perishedG622.
IfG1487 inG1722 thisG5026 lifeG2222 onlyG3440 we have hopeG1679+G2070 inG1722 ChristG5547, we areG2070 of allG3956 menG444 most miserableG1652.
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that GodH430 did temptH5254 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Behold, here I am. {Behold…: Heb. Behold me}
And he saidH559, Take nowH3947 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son IsaacH3327, whom thou lovestH157, and get theeH3212 into the landH776 of MoriahH4179; and offer himH5927 there for a burnt offeringH5930 upon oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 which I will tellH559 thee of.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his young menH5288 with him, and IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and claveH1234 the woodH6086 for the burnt offeringH5930, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 unto the placeH4725 of which GodH430 had toldH559 him.
Then on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the placeH4725 afar offH7350.
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his young menH5288, AbideH3427 ye here with the assH2543; and I and the ladH5288 will goH3212 yonderH3541 and worshipH7812, and come againH7725 to you.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt offeringH5930, and laidH7760 it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 the fireH784 in his handH3027, and a knifeH3979; and they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162.
And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930? {lamb: or, kid}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, My sonH1121, GodH430 will provideH7200 himself a lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930: so they wentH3212 both of themH8147 togetherH3162.
And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.
And AbrahamH85 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold behindH310 him a ramH352 caughtH270 in a thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161: and AbrahamH85 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the ramH352, and offered him upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930 in the steadH8478 of his sonH1121.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto AbrahamH85 out of heavenH8064 the second timeH8145,
And saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for becauseH3282+H834 thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son:
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
So AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his young menH5288, and they rose upH6965 and wentH3212 togetherH3162 to BeershebaH884; and AbrahamH85 dweltH3427 at BeershebaH884.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
HuzH5780 his firstbornH1060, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758,
And ChesedH3777, and HazoH2375, and PildashH6394, and JidlaphH3044, and BethuelH1328.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And his concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was ReumahH7208, she bareH3205 also TebahH2875, and GahamH1514, and ThahashH8477, and MaachahH4601.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Your fathersH1 dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104 in old timeH5769, even TerahH8646, the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85, and the fatherH1 of NachorH5152: and they servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430.
Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH3212 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father'sH1 houseH1004, unto a landH776 that I will shewH7200 thee:
And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
So AbramH87 departedH3212, as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto him; and LotH3876 wentH3212 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657+H8141 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 out of HaranH2771.
And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother'sH251 sonH1121, and all their substanceH7399 that they had gatheredH7408, and the soulsH5315 that they had gottenH6213 in HaranH2771; and they went forthH3318 to goH3212 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.
And AbramH87 passed throughH5674 the landH776 unto the placeH4725 of SichemH7927, unto the plainH436 of MorehH4176. And the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the landH776.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 thisH2063 landH776: and there buildedH1129 he an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, who appearedH7200 unto him.
And he removedH6275 from thence unto a mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, having BethelH1008 on the westH3220, and HaiH5857 on the eastH6924: and there he buildedH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And AbramH87 journeyedH5265, going onH1980 stillH5265 toward the southH5045. {going…: Heb. in going and journeying}
And there was a famineH7458 in the landH776: and AbramH87 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there; for the famineH7458 was grievousH3515 in the landH776.
And it came to pass, whenH834 he was come nearH7126 to enterH935 into EgyptH4714, that he saidH559 unto SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I knowH3045 that thou art a fairH3303 womanH802 to look uponH4758:
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 thee, that they shall sayH559, This is his wifeH802: and they will killH2026 me, but they will save thee aliveH2421.
SayH559, I pray theeH4994, thou art my sisterH269: thatH4616 it may be wellH3190 with me for thy sake; and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421 because of theeH1558.
And it came to pass, that, when AbramH87 was comeH935 into EgyptH4714, the EgyptiansH4713 beheldH7200 the womanH802 that she was veryH3966 fairH3303.
The princesH8269 also of PharaohH6547 sawH7200 her, and commendedH1984 her beforeH413 PharaohH6547: and the womanH802 was takenH3947 into Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004.
And he entreatedH3190 AbramH87 wellH3190 for her sake: and he had sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and he assesH2543, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198, and she assesH860, and camelsH1581.
And the LORDH3068 plaguedH5060 PharaohH6547 and his houseH1004 with greatH1419 plaguesH5061 because ofH1697 SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802.
And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 AbramH87, and saidH559, What is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto me? why didst thou not tellH5046 me that she was thy wifeH802?
Why saidst thouH559, She is my sisterH269? so I might have takenH3947 her to me to wifeH802: now therefore behold thy wifeH802, takeH3947 her, and go thy wayH3212.
And PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 his menH582 concerning him: and they sent him awayH7971, and his wifeH802, and all that he had.
And LotH3876 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and beheldH7200 all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383, that it was well wateredH4945 every where, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, even as the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou comestH935 unto ZoarH6820.
Then LotH3876 choseH977 him all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastH6924: and they separated themselvesH6504 the oneH376 from the otherH251.
AbramH87 dwelledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and LotH3876 dwelledH3427 in the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, and pitched his tentH167 towardH5704 SodomH5467.
But the menH582 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 before the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH3966.
And there cameH935 twoH8147 angelsH4397 to SodomH5467 at evenH6153; and LotH3876 satH3427 in the gateH8179 of SodomH5467: and LotH3876 seeingH7200 them rose upH6965 to meetH7125 them; and he bowedH7812 himself with his faceH639 toward the groundH776;
And AbramH87 went upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, he, and his wifeH802, and all that he had, and LotH3876 with him, into the southH5045.
And AbramH87 was veryH3966 richH3513 in cattleH4735, in silverH3701, and in goldH2091.
And he wentH3212 on his journeysH4550 from the southH5045 even to BethelH1008, unto the placeH4725 where his tentH168 had beenH1961 at the beginningH8462, between BethelH1008 and HaiH5857;
Unto the placeH4725 of the altarH4196, which he had madeH6213 there at the firstH7223: and there AbramH87 calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And LotH3876 also, which wentH1980 withH854 AbramH87, had flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and tentsH168.
And the landH776 was not able to bearH5375 them, that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162: for their substanceH7399 was greatH7227, so that they couldH3201 not dwellH3427 togetherH3162.
And there was a strifeH7379 between the herdmenH7462 of Abram'sH87 cattleH4735 and the herdmenH7462 of Lot'sH3876 cattleH4735: and the CanaaniteH3669 and the PerizziteH6522 dwelledH3427 then in the landH776.
And AbramH87 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Let there beH1961 noH408 strifeH4808, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmenH7462 and thy herdmenH7462; for weH582 be brethrenH251. {brethren: Heb. men brethren}
Is not the whole landH776 before theeH6440? separate thyselfH6504, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left handH8040, then I will go to the rightH3231; or if thou depart to the right handH3225, then I will go to the leftH8041.
And LotH3876 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and beheldH7200 all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383, that it was well wateredH4945 every where, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, even as the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou comestH935 unto ZoarH6820.
Then LotH3876 choseH977 him all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastH6924: and they separated themselvesH6504 the oneH376 from the otherH251.
AbramH87 dwelledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and LotH3876 dwelledH3427 in the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, and pitched his tentH167 towardH5704 SodomH5467.
But the menH582 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 before the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH3966.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbramH87, afterH310 that LotH3876 was separatedH6504 from him, Lift upH5375 now thine eyesH5869, and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 where thou art northwardH6828, and southwardH5045, and eastwardH6924, and westwardH3220:
For all the landH776 which thou seestH7200, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769.
And I will makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776: so thatH834 if a manH376 canH3201 numberH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then shall thy seedH2233 also be numberedH4487.
AriseH6965, walkH1980 through the landH776 in the lengthH753 of it and in the breadthH7341 of it; for I will giveH5414 it unto thee.
Then AbramH87 removed his tentH167, and cameH935 and dweltH3427 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471, which is in HebronH2275, and builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068. {plain: Heb. plains}
ForG1063 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 is quickG2198, andG2532 powerfulG1756, andG2532 sharperG5114 thanG5228 anyG3956 twoedgedG1366 swordG3162, piercingG1338 even toG891 the dividing asunderG3311 of soulG5590 andG5037+G2532 spiritG4151, andG5037+G2532 of the jointsG719 andG2532 marrowG3452, andG2532 is a discernerG2924 of the thoughtsG1761 andG2532 intentsG1771 of the heartG2588.
And the LORDH3068 visitedH6485 SarahH8283 as he had saidH559, and the LORDH3068 didH6213 unto SarahH8283 as he had spokenH1696.
For SarahH8283 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 AbrahamH85 a sonH1121 in his old ageH2208, at the set timeH4150 of which GodH430 had spokenH1696 to him.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of his sonH1121 that was bornH3205 unto him, whom SarahH8283 bareH3205 to him, IsaacH3327.
And AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135 his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 being eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121, as GodH430 had commandedH6680 him.
And AbrahamH85 was an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 was bornH3205 unto him.
And SarahH8283 saidH559, GodH430 hath madeH6213 me to laughH6712, so that all that hearH8085 will laughH6711 with me.
And she saidH559, Who would have saidH4448 unto AbrahamH85, that SarahH8283 should have given childrenH1121 suckH3243? for I have bornH3205 him a sonH1121 in his old ageH2208.
And the childH3206 grewH1431, and was weanedH1580: and AbrahamH85 madeH6213 a greatH1419 feastH4960 the same dayH3117 that IsaacH3327 was weanedH1580.
And SarahH8283 sawH7200 the sonH1121 of HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, which she had bornH3205 unto AbrahamH85, mockingH6711.
Wherefore she saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Cast outH1644 this bondwomanH519 and her sonH1121: for the sonH1121 of this bondwomanH519 shall not be heirH3423 with my sonH1121, even with IsaacH3327.
And the thingH1697 was veryH3966 grievousH3415 in Abraham'sH85 sightH5869 becauseH182 of his sonH1121.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Let it not be grievousH3415 in thy sightH5869 because of the ladH5288, and because of thy bondwomanH519; in all that SarahH8283 hath saidH559 unto thee, hearkenH8085 unto her voiceH6963; for in IsaacH3327 shall thy seedH2233 be calledH7121.
And also of the sonH1121 of the bondwomanH519 will I makeH7760 a nationH1471, because he is thy seedH2233.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 breadH3899, and a bottleH2573 of waterH4325, and gaveH5414 it unto HagarH1904, puttingH7760 it on her shoulderH7926, and the childH3206, and sent her awayH7971: and she departedH3212, and wanderedH8582 in the wildernessH4057 of BeershebaH884.
And the waterH4325 was spentH3615 inH4480 the bottleH2573, and she castH7993 the childH3206 under oneH259 of the shrubsH7880.
And she wentH3212, and sat her downH3427 over againstH5048 him a good way offH7368, as it were a bowshotH2909+H7198: for she saidH559, Let me not seeH7200 the deathH4194 of the childH3206. And she satH3427 over against him, and lift upH5375 her voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And GodH430 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288; and the angelH4397 of GodH430 calledH7121 to HagarH1904 out of heavenH8064, and saidH559 unto her, What aileth thee, HagarH1904? fearH3372 not; for GodH430 hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288 where he is.
AriseH6965, lift upH5375 the ladH5288, and holdH2388 him in thine handH3027; for I will makeH7760 him a greatH1419 nationH1471.
And GodH430 openedH6491 her eyesH5869, and she sawH7200 a wellH875 of waterH4325; and she wentH3212, and filledH4390 the bottleH2573 with waterH4325, and gaveH8248 the ladH5288 drinkH8248.
And GodH430 was with the ladH5288; and he grewH1431, and dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057, and became an archerH7235+H7199.
And he dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290: and his motherH517 tookH3947 him a wifeH802 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that AbimelechH40 and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his hostH6635 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85, sayingH559, GodH430 is with thee in all that thou doestH6213:
Now therefore swearH7650 unto me hereH2008 by GodH430 that thou wilt not deal falselyH8266 with me, nor with my sonH5209, nor with my son's sonH5220: but according to the kindnessH2617 that I have doneH6213 unto thee, thou shalt doH6213 unto me, and to the landH776 wherein thou hast sojournedH1481. {that thou…: Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, I will swearH7650.
And AbrahamH85 reprovedH3198 AbimelechH40 becauseH182 of a wellH875 of waterH4325, which Abimelech'sH40 servantsH5650 had violently taken awayH1497.
And AbimelechH40 saidH559, I wotH3045 not who hath doneH6213 this thingH1697: neitherH3808 didst thou tellH5046 me, neitherH3808 yet heardH8085 I of it, butH1115 to dayH3117.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 them unto AbimelechH40; and both of themH8147 madeH3772 a covenantH1285.
And AbrahamH85 setH5324 sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 of the flockH6629 by themselves.
And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhatH2008 mean these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 which thou hast setH5324 by themselves?
And he saidH559, For these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 shalt thou takeH3947 of my handH3027, thatH5668 they may be a witnessH5713 unto me, that I have diggedH2658 this wellH875.
Wherefore he calledH7121 that placeH4725 BeershebaH884; because there they swareH7650 both of themH8147. {Beersheba: that is, The well of the oath}
Thus they madeH3772 a covenantH1285 at BeershebaH884: then AbimelechH40 rose upH6965, and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his hostH6635, and they returnedH7725 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And Abraham plantedH5193 a groveH815 in BeershebaH884, and calledH7121 there on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the everlastingH5769 GodH410. {grove: or, tree}
And AbrahamH85 sojournedH1481 in the Philistines'H6430 landH776 manyH7227 daysH3117.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that GodH430 did temptH5254 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Behold, here I am. {Behold…: Heb. Behold me}
And he saidH559, Take nowH3947 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son IsaacH3327, whom thou lovestH157, and get theeH3212 into the landH776 of MoriahH4179; and offer himH5927 there for a burnt offeringH5930 upon oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 which I will tellH559 thee of.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his young menH5288 with him, and IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and claveH1234 the woodH6086 for the burnt offeringH5930, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 unto the placeH4725 of which GodH430 had toldH559 him.
Then on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the placeH4725 afar offH7350.
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his young menH5288, AbideH3427 ye here with the assH2543; and I and the ladH5288 will goH3212 yonderH3541 and worshipH7812, and come againH7725 to you.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt offeringH5930, and laidH7760 it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 the fireH784 in his handH3027, and a knifeH3979; and they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162.
And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930? {lamb: or, kid}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, My sonH1121, GodH430 will provideH7200 himself a lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930: so they wentH3212 both of themH8147 togetherH3162.
And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.
And AbrahamH85 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold behindH310 him a ramH352 caughtH270 in a thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161: and AbrahamH85 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the ramH352, and offered him upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930 in the steadH8478 of his sonH1121.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto AbrahamH85 out of heavenH8064 the second timeH8145,
And saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for becauseH3282+H834 thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son:
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
So AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his young menH5288, and they rose upH6965 and wentH3212 togetherH3162 to BeershebaH884; and AbrahamH85 dweltH3427 at BeershebaH884.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
HuzH5780 his firstbornH1060, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758,
And ChesedH3777, and HazoH2375, and PildashH6394, and JidlaphH3044, and BethuelH1328.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And his concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was ReumahH7208, she bareH3205 also TebahH2875, and GahamH1514, and ThahashH8477, and MaachahH4601.
The fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 fall downG4098 beforeG1799 him that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, andG2532 worshipG4352 him that livethG2198 forG1519 everG165 and everG165, andG2532 castG906 theirG846 crownsG4735 beforeG1799 the throneG2362, sayingG3004,
AndG2532 there was givenG1325 meG3427 a reedG2563 likeG3664 unto a rodG4464: andG2532 the angelG32 stoodG2476, sayingG3004, RiseG1453, andG2532 measureG3354 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, andG2532 the altarG2379, andG2532 them that worshipG4352 thereinG1722+G846.
ButG2532 the courtG833 whichG3588 is withoutG1855+G2081 the templeG3485 leaveG1544 outG1854, andG2532 measureG3354 itG846 notG3361; forG3754 it is givenG1325 unto the GentilesG1484: andG2532 the holyG40 cityG4172 shall they tread under footG3961 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {leave out: Gr. cast out}
AndG2532 I will giveG1325 power unto myG3450 twoG1417 witnessesG3144, andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395 a thousandG5507 two hundredG1250 and threescoreG1835 daysG2250, clothed inG4016 sackclothG4526. {I will give…: or, I will give unto my two witnesses that they may prophesy}
TheseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 oliveG1636 trees, andG2532 the twoG1417 candlesticksG3087 standingG2476 beforeG1799 the GodG2316 of the earthG1093.
AndG2532 if any manG1536+G846 willG2309 hurtG91 themG846, fireG4442 proceedethG1607 out ofG1537 theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 devourethG2719 theirG846 enemiesG2190: andG2532 if any manG1536 willG2309 hurtG91 themG846, he mustG1163 in this mannerG3779 be killedG615.
TheseG3778 haveG2192 powerG1849 to shutG2808 heavenG3772, thatG3363 it rainG1026+G5205 notG3363 inG1722 the daysG2250 of theirG846 prophecyG4394: andG2532 haveG2192 powerG1849 overG1909 watersG5204 to turnG4762 themG846 toG1519 bloodG129, andG2532 to smiteG3960 the earthG1093 with allG3956 plaguesG4127, as oftenG3740 asG1437 they willG2309.
AndG2532 whenG3752 they shall have finishedG5055 theirG846 testimonyG3141, the beastG2342 that ascendethG305 out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12 shall makeG4160 warG4171 againstG3326 themG846, andG2532 shall overcomeG3528 themG846, andG2532 killG615 themG846.
AndG2532 theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 shall lie inG1909 the streetG4113 of the greatG3173 cityG4172, whichG3748 spirituallyG4153 is calledG2564 SodomG4670 andG2532 EgyptG125, whereG3699 alsoG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 was crucifiedG4717.
AndG2532 theyG991 ofG1537 the peopleG2992 andG2532 kindredsG5443 andG2532 tonguesG1100 andG2532 nationsG1484 shall seeG991 theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 an halfG2255, andG2532 shallG863 notG3756 sufferG863 theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 to be putG5087 inG1519 gravesG3418.
AndG2532 they that dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG1093 shall rejoiceG5463 overG1909 themG846, andG2532 make merryG2165, andG2532 shall sendG3992 giftsG1435 one to anotherG240; becauseG3754 theseG3778 twoG1417 prophetsG4396 tormentedG928 them that dweltG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093.
AndG2532 afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 an halfG2255 the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 fromG1537 GodG2316 enteredG1525 intoG1909 themG846, andG2532 they stoodG2476 uponG1909 theirG846 feetG4228; andG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 fellG4098 uponG1909 them which sawG2334 themG846.
AndG2532 they heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772 sayingG3004 unto themG846, Come upG305 hitherG5602. AndG2532 they ascended upG305 toG1519 heavenG3772 inG1722 a cloudG3507; andG2532 theirG846 enemiesG2190 beheldG2334 themG846.
AndG2532 the sameG1722+G1565 hourG5610 was thereG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, andG2532 the tenth partG1182 of the cityG4172 fellG4098, andG2532 inG1722 the earthquakeG4578 were slainG615+G3686 of menG444 sevenG2033 thousandG5505: andG2532 the remnantG3062 wereG1096 affrightedG1719, andG2532 gaveG1325 gloryG1391 to the GodG2316 of heavenG3772. {of men: Gr. names of men}
The secondG1208 woeG3759 is pastG565; andG2532, beholdG2400, the thirdG5154 woeG3759 comethG2064 quicklyG5035.
AndG2532 the seventhG1442 angelG32 soundedG4537; andG2532 there wereG1096 greatG3173 voicesG5456 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, The kingdomsG932 of this worldG2889 are becomeG1096 the kingdoms of ourG2257 LordG2962, andG2532 of hisG846 ChristG5547; andG2532 he shall reignG936 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245, whichG3588 satG2521 beforeG1799 GodG2316 onG1909 theirG846 seatsG2362, fellG4098 uponG1909 theirG846 facesG4383, andG2532 worshippedG4352 GodG2316,
SayingG3004, We giveG2168 theeG4671 thanksG2168, O LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841, whichG3588 artG5607+G3801, andG2532 wastG2258+G3801, andG2532 art to comeG2064+G3801; becauseG3754 thou hast taken to theeG2983 thyG4675 greatG3173 powerG1411, andG2532 hast reignedG936.
AndG2532 the nationsG1484 were angryG3710, andG2532 thyG4675 wrathG3709 is comeG2064, andG2532 the timeG2540 of the deadG3498, that they should be judgedG2919, andG2532 that thou shouldest giveG1325 rewardG3408 unto thyG4675 servantsG1401 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 to the saintsG40, andG2532 them that fearG5399 thyG4675 nameG3686, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173; andG2532 shouldest destroyG1311 them which destroyG1311 the earthG1093. {destroy the earth: or, corrupt the earth}
AndG2532 the templeG3485 of GodG2316 was openedG455 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 there was seenG3700 inG1722 hisG846 templeG3485 the arkG2787 of hisG846 testamentG1242: andG2532 there wereG1096 lightningsG796, andG2532 voicesG5456, andG2532 thunderingsG1027, andG2532 an earthquakeG4578, andG2532 greatG3173 hailG5464.
SayingG3004, AmenG281: BlessingG2129, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 wisdomG4678, andG2532 thanksgivingG2169, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 powerG1411, andG2532 mightG2479, be unto ourG2257 GodG2316 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And AbramH87 went upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, he, and his wifeH802, and all that he had, and LotH3876 with him, into the southH5045.
And AbramH87 was veryH3966 richH3513 in cattleH4735, in silverH3701, and in goldH2091.
And he wentH3212 on his journeysH4550 from the southH5045 even to BethelH1008, unto the placeH4725 where his tentH168 had beenH1961 at the beginningH8462, between BethelH1008 and HaiH5857;
Unto the placeH4725 of the altarH4196, which he had madeH6213 there at the firstH7223: and there AbramH87 calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And LotH3876 also, which wentH1980 withH854 AbramH87, had flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and tentsH168.
And the landH776 was not able to bearH5375 them, that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162: for their substanceH7399 was greatH7227, so that they couldH3201 not dwellH3427 togetherH3162.
And there was a strifeH7379 between the herdmenH7462 of Abram'sH87 cattleH4735 and the herdmenH7462 of Lot'sH3876 cattleH4735: and the CanaaniteH3669 and the PerizziteH6522 dwelledH3427 then in the landH776.
And AbramH87 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Let there beH1961 noH408 strifeH4808, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmenH7462 and thy herdmenH7462; for weH582 be brethrenH251. {brethren: Heb. men brethren}
Is not the whole landH776 before theeH6440? separate thyselfH6504, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left handH8040, then I will go to the rightH3231; or if thou depart to the right handH3225, then I will go to the leftH8041.
And LotH3876 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and beheldH7200 all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383, that it was well wateredH4945 every where, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, even as the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou comestH935 unto ZoarH6820.
Then LotH3876 choseH977 him all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastH6924: and they separated themselvesH6504 the oneH376 from the otherH251.
AbramH87 dwelledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and LotH3876 dwelledH3427 in the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, and pitched his tentH167 towardH5704 SodomH5467.
But the menH582 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 before the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH3966.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbramH87, afterH310 that LotH3876 was separatedH6504 from him, Lift upH5375 now thine eyesH5869, and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 where thou art northwardH6828, and southwardH5045, and eastwardH6924, and westwardH3220:
For all the landH776 which thou seestH7200, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769.
And I will makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776: so thatH834 if a manH376 canH3201 numberH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then shall thy seedH2233 also be numberedH4487.
AriseH6965, walkH1980 through the landH776 in the lengthH753 of it and in the breadthH7341 of it; for I will giveH5414 it unto thee.
Then AbramH87 removed his tentH167, and cameH935 and dweltH3427 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471, which is in HebronH2275, and builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068. {plain: Heb. plains}
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye rulersH7101 of SodomH5467; give earH238 unto the lawH8451 of our GodH430, ye peopleH5971 of GomorrahH6017.
To whatH4100 purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto me? saithH559 the LORDH3068: I am fullH7646 of the burnt offeringsH5930 of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fed beastsH4806; and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocksH6499, or of lambsH3532, or of he goatsH6260. {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 me, who hath requiredH1245 this at your handH3027, to treadH7429 my courtsH2691? {to appear: Heb. to be seen}
BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblationsH4503; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbathsH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744, I cannot away withH3201; it is iniquityH205, even the solemn meetingH6116. {iniquity: or, grief}
Your new moonsH2320 and your appointed feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hatethH8130: they are a troubleH2960 unto me; I am wearyH3811 to bearH5375 them.
And when ye spread forthH6566 your handsH3709, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. {make…: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
He that killethH7819 an oxH7794 is as if he slewH5221 a manH376; he that sacrificethH2076 a lambH7716, as if he cut offH6202 a dog'sH3611 neckH6202; he that offerethH5927 an oblationH4503, as if he offered swine'sH2386 bloodH1818; he that burnethH2142 incenseH3828, as if he blessedH1288 an idolH205. Yea, they have chosenH977 their own waysH1870, and their soulH5315 delightethH2654 in their abominationsH8251. {lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}
To what purpose comethH935 there to me incenseH3828 from ShebaH7614, and the sweetH2896 caneH7070 from a farH4801 countryH776? your burnt offeringsH5930 are not acceptableH7522, nor your sacrificesH2077 sweetH6149 unto me.
For I desiredH2654 mercyH2617, and not sacrificeH2077; and the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 more than burnt offeringsH5930.
I hateH8130, I despiseH3988 your feast daysH2282, and I will not smellH7306 in your solemn assembliesH6116. {in…: or, your holy days}
Wherewith shall I come beforeH6923 the LORDH3068, and bowH3721 myself before the highH4791 GodH430? shall I come beforeH6923 him with burnt offeringsH5930, with calvesH5695 of a yearH8141 oldH1121? {of a…: Heb. sons of a year?}
Will the LORDH3068 be pleasedH7521 with thousandsH505 of ramsH352, or with ten thousandsH7233 of riversH5158 of oilH8081? shall I giveH5414 my firstbornH1060 for my transgressionH6588, the fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soulH5315? {body: Heb. belly}
He hath shewedH5046 thee, O manH120, what is goodH2896; and what doth the LORDH3068 requireH1875 of thee, but to doH6213 justlyH4941, and to loveH160 mercyH2617, and to walkH3212 humblyH6800 with thy GodH430? {walk…: Heb. humble thyself to walk}
Then saidH559 I, Lo, I comeH935: in the volumeH4039 of the bookH5612 it is writtenH3789 of me,
I delightH2654 to doH6213 thy willH7522, O my GodH430: yea, thy lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578. {within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}
I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not refrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045.
But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, which SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 unto thee at this set timeH4150 in the nextH312 yearH8141.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Let it not be grievousH3415 in thy sightH5869 because of the ladH5288, and because of thy bondwomanH519; in all that SarahH8283 hath saidH559 unto thee, hearkenH8085 unto her voiceH6963; for in IsaacH3327 shall thy seedH2233 be calledH7121.
And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930? {lamb: or, kid}
And GodH430 rememberedH2142 NoahH5146, and every living thingH2416, and all the cattleH929 that was with him in the arkH8392: and GodH430 madeH5674 a windH7307 to passH5674 overH5921 the earthH776, and the watersH4325 asswagedH7918;
The fountainsH4599 also of the deepH8415 and the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 were stoppedH5534, and the rainH1653 from heavenH8064 was restrainedH3607;
And the watersH4325 returnedH7725 from off the earthH776 continuallyH1980+H7725: and after the endH7097 of the hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117 the watersH4325 were abatedH2637. {continually: Heb. in going and returning}
And the arkH8392 restedH5117 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the seventeenthH6240+H7651 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, upon the mountainsH2022 of AraratH780.
And the watersH4325 decreasedH2637 continuallyH1980 untilH5704 the tenthH6224 monthH2320: in the tenthH6224 month, on the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, were the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 seenH7200. {decreased…: Heb. were in going and decreasing}
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117, that NoahH5146 openedH6605 the windowH2474 of the arkH8392 which he had madeH6213:
And he sent forthH7971 a ravenH6158, which went forthH3318 toH3318 and froH7725, until the watersH4325 were dried upH3001 from off the earthH776. {to…: Heb. in going forth and returning}
Also he sent forthH7971 a doveH3123 from him, to seeH7200 if the watersH4325 were abatedH7043 from off the faceH6440 of the groundH127;
But the doveH3123 foundH4672 no restH4494 for the soleH3709 of her footH7272, and she returnedH7725 unto him into the arkH8392, for the watersH4325 were on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776: then he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and took herH3947, and pulled her inH935 unto him into the arkH8392. {pulled…: Heb. caused her to come}
And he stayedH2342 yet otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and againH3254 he sent forthH7971 the doveH3123 out of the arkH8392;
And the doveH3123 came inH935 to him in the eveningH6256+H6153; and, lo, in her mouthH6310 was an oliveH2132 leafH5929 pluckt offH2965: so NoahH5146 knewH3045 that the watersH4325 were abatedH7043 from off the earthH776.
And he stayedH3176 yet otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and sent forthH7971 the doveH3123; which returnedH7725 not againH3254 unto him any moreH5750.
And it came to pass in the sixH8337 hundredthH3967 and first yearH8141, in the firstH7223 month, the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, the watersH4325 were dried upH2717 from off the earthH776: and NoahH5146 removedH5493 the coveringH4372 of the arkH8392, and lookedH7200, and, behold, the faceH6440 of the groundH127 was dryH2717.
And in the secondH8145 monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, was the earthH776 driedH3001.
And GodH430 spakeH1696 unto NoahH5146, sayingH559,
Go forthH3318 of the arkH8392, thou, and thy wifeH802, and thy sonsH1121, and thy sons'H1121 wivesH802 with thee.
Bring forthH3318 with thee every living thingH2416 that is with thee, of all fleshH1320, both of fowlH5775, and of cattleH929, and of every creeping thingH7431 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776; that they may breed abundantlyH8317 in the earthH776, and be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 upon the earthH776.
And NoahH5146 went forthH3318, and his sonsH1121, and his wifeH802, and his sons'H1121 wivesH802 with him:
Every beastH2416, every creeping thingH7431, and every fowlH5775, and whatsoeverH3605 creepethH7430 upon the earthH776, after their kindsH4940, went forthH3318 out of the arkH8392. {kinds: Heb. families}
And NoahH5146 buildedH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068; and tookH3947 of every cleanH2889 beastH929, and of every cleanH2889 fowlH5775, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 on the altarH4196.
And the LORDH3068 smelledH7306 a sweetH5207 savourH7381; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 inH413 his heartH3820, I will not againH3254 curseH7043 the groundH127 any more for man'sH120 sakeH5668; for the imaginationH3336 of man'sH120 heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; neither will I againH3254 smiteH5221 any more every thing livingH2416, as I have doneH6213. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction} {for the imagination: or, through the imagination}
While the earthH776 remainethH3117, seedtimeH2233 and harvestH7105, and coldH7120 and heatH2527, and summerH7019 and winterH2779, and dayH3117 and nightH3915 shall not ceaseH7673. {While…: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth}
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
And he saidH559, Take nowH3947 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son IsaacH3327, whom thou lovestH157, and get theeH3212 into the landH776 of MoriahH4179; and offer himH5927 there for a burnt offeringH5930 upon oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 which I will tellH559 thee of.
Now the serpentH5175 wasH1961 more subtilH6175 than any beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 which the LORDH3068 GodH430 had madeH6213. And he saidH559 unto the womanH802, YeaH637, hath GodH430 saidH559, Ye shall not eatH398 of every treeH6086 of the gardenH1588? {Yea…: Heb. Yea, because, etc.}
And the womanH802 saidH559 unto the serpentH5175, We may eatH398 of the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588:
But of the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086 which is in the midstH8432 of the gardenH1588, GodH430 hath saidH559, Ye shall not eatH398 of it, neither shall ye touchH5060 it, lestH6435 ye dieH4191.
And the serpentH5175 saidH559 unto the womanH802, Ye shall not surelyH4191 dieH4191:
For GodH430 doth knowH3045 that in the dayH3117 ye eatH398 thereof, then your eyesH5869 shall be openedH6491, and ye shall be as godsH430, knowingH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451.
And when the womanH802 sawH7200 that the treeH6086 was goodH2896 for foodH3978, and that itH1931 was pleasantH8378 to the eyesH5869, and a treeH6086 to be desiredH2530 to make one wiseH7919, she tookH3947 of the fruit thereofH6529, and did eatH398, and gaveH5414 alsoH1571 unto her husbandH376 with her; and he did eatH398. {pleasant: Heb. a desire}
And the eyesH5869 of them bothH8147 were openedH6491, and theyH1992 knewH3045 that they were nakedH5903; and they sewedH8609 figH8384 leavesH5929 togetherH8609, and made themselvesH6213 apronsH2290. {aprons: or, things to gird about}
And they heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 walkingH1980 in the gardenH1588 in the coolH7307 of the dayH3117: and AdamH120 and his wifeH802 hid themselvesH2244 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 amongstH8432 the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588. {cool: Heb. wind}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 calledH7121 unto AdamH120, and saidH559 unto him, Where art thouH335?
And he saidH559, I heardH8085 thy voiceH6963 in the gardenH1588, and I was afraidH3372, because IH595 was nakedH5903; and I hid myselfH2244.
And he saidH559, WhoH4310 toldH5046 thee that thou wast nakedH5903? Hast thou eatenH398 of the treeH6086, whereof I commanded theeH6680 that thou shouldest notH1115 eatH398?
And the manH120 saidH559, The womanH802 whom thou gavestH5414 to be with meH5978, sheH1931 gaveH5414 me of the treeH6086, and I did eatH398.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 unto the womanH802, What is this that thou hast doneH6213? And the womanH802 saidH559, The serpentH5175 beguiled meH5377, and I did eatH398.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 unto the serpentH5175, Because thouH859 hast doneH6213 this, thou art cursedH779 above all cattleH929, and above every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704; upon thy bellyH1512 shalt thou goH3212, and dustH6083 shalt thou eatH398 all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416:
And I will putH7896 enmityH342 between thee and the womanH802, and between thy seedH2233 and her seedH2233; it shall bruiseH7779 thy headH7218, and thou shalt bruiseH7779 his heelH6119.
Unto the womanH802 he saidH559, I will greatlyH7235 multiplyH7235 thy sorrowH6093 and thy conceptionH2032; in sorrowH6089 thou shalt bring forthH3205 childrenH1121; and thy desireH8669 shall be to thy husbandH376, and he shall ruleH4910 over thee. {to thy…: or, subject to thy husband}
And unto AdamH121 he saidH559, Because thou hast hearkenedH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of thy wifeH802, and hast eatenH398 of the treeH6086, of whichH834 I commanded theeH6680, sayingH559, Thou shalt not eatH398 of it: cursedH779 is the groundH127 for thy sake; in sorrowH6093 shalt thou eatH398 of it allH3605 the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416;
Thorns alsoH6975 and thistlesH1863 shall it bring forthH6779 to thee; and thou shalt eatH398 the herbH6212 of the fieldH7704; {bring…: Heb. cause to bud}
In the sweatH2188 of thy faceH639 shalt thou eatH398 breadH3899, tillH5704 thou returnH7725 unto the groundH127; for out of it wast thou takenH3947: for dustH6083 thouH859 art, and unto dustH6083 shalt thou returnH7725.
And AdamH120 calledH7121 his wife'sH802 nameH8034 EveH2332; because she was the motherH517 of all livingH2416. {Eve: Heb. Chavah: that is Living}
Unto AdamH120 also and to his wifeH802 did the LORDH3068 GodH430 makeH6213 coatsH3801 of skinsH5785, and clothed themH3847.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559, BeholdH2005, the manH120 is become as oneH259 of us, to knowH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451: and now, lest he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and takeH3947 also of the treeH6086 of lifeH2416, and eatH398, and liveH2425 for everH5769:
Therefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 sent him forthH7971 from the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731, to tillH5647 the groundH127 from whence he was takenH3947.
So he drove outH1644 the manH120; and he placedH7931 at the eastH6924 of the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 CherubimsH3742, and a flamingH3858 swordH2719 which turned every wayH2015, to keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the treeH6086 of lifeH2416.
And it came to pass, when menH120 beganH2490 to multiplyH7231 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127, and daughtersH1323 were bornH3205 unto them,
That the sonsH1121 of GodH430 sawH7200 the daughtersH1323 of menH120 that theyH2007 were fairH2896; and they tookH3947 them wivesH802 of all which they choseH977.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, My spiritH7307 shall not alwaysH5769 striveH1777 with manH120, for that he alsoH1571 is fleshH1320+H7683: yet his daysH3117 shall be an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141.
There were giantsH5303 in the earthH776 in those daysH3117; and also afterH310 thatH3651, whenH834 the sonsH1121 of GodH430 came inH935 unto the daughtersH1323 of menH120, and they bareH3205 children to them, the sameH1992 became mighty menH1368 which were of oldH5769, menH582 of renownH8034.
And GODH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7451 of manH120 was greatH7227 in the earthH776, and that every imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7535 evilH7451 continuallyH3117. {every…: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires} {continually: Heb. every day}
And it repentedH5162 the LORDH3068 that he had madeH6213 manH120 on the earthH776, and it grievedH6087 him atH413 his heartH3820.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will destroyH4229 manH120 whom I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; both manH120, andH5704 beastH929, and the creeping thingH7431, and the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064; for it repentethH5162 me that I have madeH6213 them. {both…: Heb. from man unto beast}
But NoahH5146 foundH4672 graceH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.
These are the generationsH8435 of NoahH5146: NoahH5146 was a justH6662 manH376 and perfectH8549 in his generationsH1755, and NoahH5146 walkedH1980 with GodH430. {perfect: or, upright}
And NoahH5146 begatH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121, ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315.
The earthH776 also was corruptH7843 beforeH6440 GodH430, and the earthH776 was filledH4390 with violenceH2555.
And GodH430 lookedH7200 upon the earthH776, and, behold, it was corruptH7843; for all fleshH1320 had corruptedH7843 his wayH1870 upon the earthH776.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto NoahH5146, The endH7093 of all fleshH1320 is comeH935 before meH6440; for the earthH776 is filled withH4390 violenceH2555 through themH6440; and, behold, I will destroyH7843 them withH854 the earthH776. {with the earth: or, from the earth}
MakeH6213 thee an arkH8392 of gopherH1613 woodH6086; roomsH7064 shalt thou makeH6213 inH854 the arkH8392, and shalt pitchH3722 it withinH1004 and withoutH2351 with pitchH3724. {rooms: Heb. nests}
And this is the fashion which thou shalt makeH6213 it of: The lengthH753 of the arkH8392 shall be threeH7969 hundredH3967 cubitsH520, the breadthH7341 of it fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 of it thirtyH7970 cubitsH520.
A windowH6672 shalt thou makeH6213 to the arkH8392, and in a cubitH520 shalt thou finishH3615 it aboveH4605; and the doorH6607 of the arkH8392 shalt thou setH7760 in the side thereofH6654; with lowerH8482, secondH8145, and thirdH7992 stories shalt thou makeH6213 it.
And, beholdH2009, IH589, even I, do bringH935 a floodH3999 of watersH4325 upon the earthH776, to destroyH7843 all fleshH1320, wherein is the breathH7307 of lifeH2416, from underH8478 heavenH8064; and every thingH3605 that is in the earthH776 shall dieH1478.
But with thee will I establishH6965 my covenantH1285; and thou shalt comeH935 intoH413 the arkH8392, thouH859, and thy sonsH1121, and thy wifeH802, and thy sons'H1121 wivesH802 with thee.
And of every living thingH2416 of all fleshH1320, twoH8147 of every sort shalt thou bringH935 into the arkH8392, to keep them aliveH2421 with thee; they shall be maleH2145 and femaleH5347.
Of fowlsH5775 after their kindH4327, and of cattleH929 after their kindH4327, of every creeping thingH7431 of the earthH127 after his kindH4327, twoH8147 of every sort shall comeH935 unto thee, to keep them aliveH2421.
And takeH3947 thou unto thee of all foodH3978 that is eatenH398, and thou shalt gatherH622 it to thee; and it shall be for foodH402 for thee, and for them.
Thus didH6213 NoahH5146; according to all that GodH430 commandedH6680 him, so didH6213 he.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto NoahH5146, ComeH935 thou and all thy houseH1004 into the arkH8392; for thee have I seenH7200 righteousH6662 before meH6440 in thisH2088 generationH1755.
Of every cleanH2889 beastH929 thou shalt takeH3947 to thee by sevensH7651+H7651, the maleH376 and his femaleH802: and of beastsH929 that are not cleanH2889+H1931 by twoH8147, the maleH376 and his femaleH802. {by sevens: Heb. seven seven}
Of fowlsH5775 also of the airH8064 by sevensH7651+H7651, the maleH2145 and the femaleH5347; to keepH2421 seedH2233 aliveH2421 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776. {by sevens: Heb. seven seven}
For yetH5750 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and I will cause it to rainH4305 upon the earthH776 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; and everyH3605 living substanceH3351 that I have madeH6213 will I destroyH4229 from offH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127. {destroy: Heb. blot out}
And NoahH5146 didH6213 according unto all that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 him.
And NoahH5146 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when the floodH3999 of watersH4325 was upon the earthH776.
And NoahH5146 went inH935, and his sonsH1121, and his wifeH802, and his sons'H1121 wivesH802 with him, into the arkH8392, because ofH6440 the watersH4325 of the floodH3999.
Of cleanH2889 beastsH929, and of beastsH929 that are not cleanH2889, and of fowlsH5775, and of every thing that creepethH7430 upon the earthH127,
There went inH935 twoH8147 and twoH8147 unto NoahH5146 into the arkH8392, the maleH2145 and the femaleH5347, asH834 GodH430 had commandedH6680 NoahH5146.
And it came to pass after sevenH7651 daysH3117, that the watersH4325 of the floodH3999 were upon the earthH776. {after…: or, on the seventh day}
InH8141 the sixH8337 hundredthH3967 yearH8141 of Noah'sH5146 lifeH2416, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, the seventeenthH7651+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, the sameH2088 dayH3117 were all the fountainsH4599 of the greatH7227 deepH8415 broken upH1234, and the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 were openedH6605. {windows: or, floodgates}
And the rainH1653 was upon the earthH776 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915.
In the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 enteredH935 NoahH5146, and ShemH8035, and HamH2526, and JaphethH3315, the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, and Noah'sH5146 wifeH802, and the threeH7969 wivesH802 of his sonsH1121 with them, into the arkH8392;
TheyH1992, and every beastH2416 after his kindH4327, and all the cattleH929 after their kindH4327, and every creeping thingH7431 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776 after his kindH4327, and every fowlH5775 after his kindH4327, every birdH6833 of every sortH3671. {sort: Heb. wing}
And they went inH935 unto NoahH5146 into the arkH8392, twoH8147 and twoH8147 of all fleshH1320, whereinH834 is the breathH7307 of lifeH2416.
And they that went inH935, went inH935 maleH2145 and femaleH5347 of all fleshH1320, as GodH430 had commandedH6680 him: and the LORDH3068 shut him inH5462.
And the floodH3999 was fortyH705 daysH3117 upon the earthH776; and the watersH4325 increasedH7235, and bare upH5375 the arkH8392, and it was lift upH7311 above the earthH776.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396, and were increasedH7235 greatlyH3966 upon the earthH776; and the arkH8392 wentH3212 upon the faceH6440 of the watersH4325.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396 exceedinglyH3966+H3966 upon the earthH776; and all the highH1364 hillsH2022, that were underH8478 the whole heavenH8064, were coveredH3680.
FifteenH6240+H2568 cubitsH520 upwardH4605 did the watersH4325 prevailH1396; and the mountainsH2022 were coveredH3680.
And all fleshH1320 diedH1478 that movedH7430 upon the earthH776, both of fowlH5775, and of cattleH929, and of beastH2416, and of every creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776, and every manH120:
All in whose nostrilsH639 was the breathH5397+H7307 of lifeH2416, of all that was in the dryH2724 land, diedH4191. {the breath…: Heb. the breath of the spirit of life}
And every living substanceH3351 was destroyedH4229 which was upon the faceH6440 of the groundH127, both manH120, and cattleH929, and the creeping thingsH7431, and the fowlH5775 of the heavenH8064; and they were destroyedH4229 from the earthH776: and NoahH5146 onlyH389 remainedH7604 alive, and they thatH834 were with him in the arkH8392.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396 upon the earthH776 an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117.
And GodH430 rememberedH2142 NoahH5146, and every living thingH2416, and all the cattleH929 that was with him in the arkH8392: and GodH430 madeH5674 a windH7307 to passH5674 overH5921 the earthH776, and the watersH4325 asswagedH7918;
The fountainsH4599 also of the deepH8415 and the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 were stoppedH5534, and the rainH1653 from heavenH8064 was restrainedH3607;
And the watersH4325 returnedH7725 from off the earthH776 continuallyH1980+H7725: and after the endH7097 of the hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117 the watersH4325 were abatedH2637. {continually: Heb. in going and returning}
And the arkH8392 restedH5117 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the seventeenthH6240+H7651 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, upon the mountainsH2022 of AraratH780.
And the watersH4325 decreasedH2637 continuallyH1980 untilH5704 the tenthH6224 monthH2320: in the tenthH6224 month, on the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, were the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 seenH7200. {decreased…: Heb. were in going and decreasing}
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117, that NoahH5146 openedH6605 the windowH2474 of the arkH8392 which he had madeH6213:
And he sent forthH7971 a ravenH6158, which went forthH3318 toH3318 and froH7725, until the watersH4325 were dried upH3001 from off the earthH776. {to…: Heb. in going forth and returning}
Also he sent forthH7971 a doveH3123 from him, to seeH7200 if the watersH4325 were abatedH7043 from off the faceH6440 of the groundH127;
But the doveH3123 foundH4672 no restH4494 for the soleH3709 of her footH7272, and she returnedH7725 unto him into the arkH8392, for the watersH4325 were on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776: then he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and took herH3947, and pulled her inH935 unto him into the arkH8392. {pulled…: Heb. caused her to come}
And he stayedH2342 yet otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and againH3254 he sent forthH7971 the doveH3123 out of the arkH8392;
And the doveH3123 came inH935 to him in the eveningH6256+H6153; and, lo, in her mouthH6310 was an oliveH2132 leafH5929 pluckt offH2965: so NoahH5146 knewH3045 that the watersH4325 were abatedH7043 from off the earthH776.
And he stayedH3176 yet otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and sent forthH7971 the doveH3123; which returnedH7725 not againH3254 unto him any moreH5750.
And it came to pass in the sixH8337 hundredthH3967 and first yearH8141, in the firstH7223 month, the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, the watersH4325 were dried upH2717 from off the earthH776: and NoahH5146 removedH5493 the coveringH4372 of the arkH8392, and lookedH7200, and, behold, the faceH6440 of the groundH127 was dryH2717.
And in the secondH8145 monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, was the earthH776 driedH3001.
And GodH430 spakeH1696 unto NoahH5146, sayingH559,
Go forthH3318 of the arkH8392, thou, and thy wifeH802, and thy sonsH1121, and thy sons'H1121 wivesH802 with thee.
Bring forthH3318 with thee every living thingH2416 that is with thee, of all fleshH1320, both of fowlH5775, and of cattleH929, and of every creeping thingH7431 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776; that they may breed abundantlyH8317 in the earthH776, and be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 upon the earthH776.
And NoahH5146 went forthH3318, and his sonsH1121, and his wifeH802, and his sons'H1121 wivesH802 with him:
Every beastH2416, every creeping thingH7431, and every fowlH5775, and whatsoeverH3605 creepethH7430 upon the earthH776, after their kindsH4940, went forthH3318 out of the arkH8392. {kinds: Heb. families}
And NoahH5146 buildedH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068; and tookH3947 of every cleanH2889 beastH929, and of every cleanH2889 fowlH5775, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 on the altarH4196.
And the LORDH3068 smelledH7306 a sweetH5207 savourH7381; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 inH413 his heartH3820, I will not againH3254 curseH7043 the groundH127 any more for man'sH120 sakeH5668; for the imaginationH3336 of man'sH120 heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; neither will I againH3254 smiteH5221 any more every thing livingH2416, as I have doneH6213. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction} {for the imagination: or, through the imagination}
While the earthH776 remainethH3117, seedtimeH2233 and harvestH7105, and coldH7120 and heatH2527, and summerH7019 and winterH2779, and dayH3117 and nightH3915 shall not ceaseH7673. {While…: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth}
And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315: and unto them were sonsH1121 bornH3205 afterH310 the floodH3999.
The sonsH1121 of JaphethH3315; GomerH1586, and MagogH4031, and MadaiH4074, and JavanH3120, and TubalH8422, and MeshechH4902, and TirasH8494.
And the sonsH1121 of GomerH1586; AshkenazH813, and RiphathH7384, and TogarmahH8425.
And the sonsH1121 of JavanH3120; ElishahH473, and TarshishH8659, KittimH3794, and DodanimH1721. {Dodanim: or, as some read it, Rodanim}
By these were the islesH339 of the GentilesH1471 divided inH6504 their landsH776; every oneH376 after his tongueH3956, after their familiesH4940, in their nationsH1471.
And the sonsH1121 of HamH2526; CushH3568, and MizraimH4714, and PhutH6316, and CanaanH3667.
And the sonsH1121 of CushH3568; SebaH5434, and HavilahH2341, and SabtahH5454, and RaamahH7484, and SabtechaH5455: and the sonsH1121 of RaamahH7484; ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719.
And CushH3568 begatH3205 NimrodH5248: he beganH2490 to beH1961 a mighty oneH1368 in the earthH776.
He was a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: whereforeH3651 it is saidH559, Even as NimrodH5248 the mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the beginningH7225 of his kingdomH4467 was BabelH894, and ErechH751, and AccadH390, and CalnehH3641, in the landH776 of ShinarH8152. {Babel: Gr. Babylon}
Out of that landH776 went forthH3318 AsshurH804, and buildedH1129 NinevehH5210, and the cityH5892 RehobothH7344, and CalahH3625, {went…: or, he went out into Assyria} {the city…: or, the streets of the city}
And ResenH7449 between NinevehH5210 and CalahH3625: the same is a greatH1419 cityH5892.
And MizraimH4714 begatH3205 LudimH3866, and AnamimH6047, and LehabimH3853, and NaphtuhimH5320,
And PathrusimH6625, and CasluhimH3695, (out of whom cameH3318 PhilistimH6430,) and CaphtorimH3732.
And CanaanH3667 begatH3205 SidonH6721 his firstbornH1060, and HethH2845, {Sidon: Heb. Tzidon}
And the JebusiteH2983, and the AmoriteH567, and the GirgasiteH1622,
And the HiviteH2340, and the ArkiteH6208, and the SiniteH5513,
And the ArvaditeH721, and the ZemariteH6786, and the HamathiteH2577: and afterwardH310 were the familiesH4940 of the CanaanitesH3669 spread abroadH6327.
And the borderH1366 of the CanaanitesH3669 was from SidonH6721, as thou comestH935 to GerarH1642, unto GazaH5804; as thou goestH935, unto SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, and AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, even unto LashaH3962. {Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
These are the sonsH1121 of HamH2526, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their countriesH776, and in their nationsH1471.
Unto ShemH8035 also, the fatherH1 of all the childrenH1121 of EberH5677, the brotherH251 of JaphethH3315 the elderH1419, even to him were children bornH3205.
The childrenH1121 of ShemH8035; ElamH5867, and AsshurH804, and ArphaxadH775, and LudH3865, and AramH758. {Arphaxad: Heb. Arpachshad}
And the childrenH1121 of AramH758; UzH5780, and HulH2343, and GetherH1666, and MashH4851.
And ArphaxadH775 begatH3205 SalahH7974; and SalahH7974 begatH3205 EberH5677. {Salah: Heb. Shelah}
And unto EberH5677 were bornH3205 twoH8147 sonsH1121: the nameH8034 of oneH259 was PelegH6389; for in his daysH3117 was the earthH776 dividedH6385; and his brother'sH251 nameH8034 was JoktanH3355. {Peleg: that is Division}
And JoktanH3355 begatH3205 AlmodadH486, and ShelephH8026, and HazarmavethH2700, and JerahH3392,
And HadoramH1913, and UzalH187, and DiklahH1853,
And ObalH5745, and AbimaelH39, and ShebaH7614,
And OphirH211, and HavilahH2341, and JobabH3103: all these were the sonsH1121 of JoktanH3355.
And their dwellingH4186 was from MeshaH4852, as thou goestH935 unto SepharH5611 a mountH2022 of the eastH6924.
These are the sonsH1121 of ShemH8035, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their landsH776, after their nationsH1471.
These are the familiesH4940 of the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, after their generationsH8435, in their nationsH1471: and by these were the nationsH1471 dividedH6504 in the earthH776 afterH310 the floodH3999.
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his young menH5288, AbideH3427 ye here with the assH2543; and I and the ladH5288 will goH3212 yonderH3541 and worshipH7812, and come againH7725 to you.
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
ForG1063 ifG1487, when we wereG5607 enemiesG2190, we were reconciledG2644 to GodG2316 byG1223 the deathG2288 of hisG846 SonG5207, muchG4183 moreG3123, being reconciledG2644, we shall be savedG4982 byG1722 hisG846 lifeG2222.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 beG1453 notG3756 raisedG1453, yourG5216 faithG4102 is vainG3152; ye areG2075 yetG2089 inG1722 yourG5216 sinsG266.
ThenG686 they alsoG2532 which are fallen asleepG2837 inG1722 ChristG5547 are perishedG622.
IfG1487 inG1722 thisG5026 lifeG2222 onlyG3440 we have hopeG1679+G2070 inG1722 ChristG5547, we areG2070 of allG3956 menG444 most miserableG1652.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
Then SolomonH8010 beganH2490 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389 in mountH2022 MoriahH4179, where the LORD appearedH7200 unto DavidH1732 his fatherH1, in the placeH4725 that DavidH1732 had preparedH3559 in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. {where…: or, which was seen of David his father}
AndG2532 the veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was rentG4977 inG1519 twainG1417 fromG575 the topG509 toG2193 the bottomG2736.
And these are the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of Abraham'sH85 lifeH2416 which he livedH2425, an hundredH3967+H8141 threescore and fifteenH7657+H8141+H2568 yearsH8141.
And I will putH7896 enmityH342 between thee and the womanH802, and between thy seedH2233 and her seedH2233; it shall bruiseH7779 thy headH7218, and thou shalt bruiseH7779 his heelH6119.
And he calledH7121 his nameH8034 NoahH5146, sayingH559, This same shall comfortH5162 us concerning our workH4639 and toilH6093 of our handsH3027, becauseH4480 of the groundH127 which the LORDH3068 hath cursedH779. {Noah: Gr. Noe: that is Rest, or, Comfort}
And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of ShemH8035; and CanaanH3667 shall beH1961 his servantH5650. {his servant: or, servant to them}
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, BeforeG4250 AbrahamG11 wasG1096, IG1473 amG1510.
Now therefore restoreH7725 the manH376 his wifeH802; for he is a prophetH5030, and he shall prayH6419 for theeH1157, and thou shalt liveH2421: and if thou restoreH7725 her not, knowH3045 thou that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, thou, and all that are thine.
YourG5216 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 rejoicedG21 toG2443 seeG1492 myG1699 dayG2250: andG2532 he sawG1492 it, andG2532 was gladG5463.
YourG5216 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 rejoicedG21 toG2443 seeG1492 myG1699 dayG2250: andG2532 he sawG1492 it, andG2532 was gladG5463.
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, BeforeG4250 AbrahamG11 wasG1096, IG1473 amG1510.
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, lo, one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423.
Now therefore restoreH7725 the manH376 his wifeH802; for he is a prophetH5030, and he shall prayH6419 for theeH1157, and thou shalt liveH2421: and if thou restoreH7725 her not, knowH3045 thou that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, thou, and all that are thine.
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
YourG5216 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 rejoicedG21 toG2443 seeG1492 myG1699 dayG2250: andG2532 he sawG1492 it, andG2532 was gladG5463.
YourG5216 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 rejoicedG21 toG2443 seeG1492 myG1699 dayG2250: andG2532 he sawG1492 it, andG2532 was gladG5463.
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
AndG2532 he was clothedG4016 with a vestureG2440 dippedG911 in bloodG129: andG2532 hisG846 nameG3686 is calledG2564 The WordG3056 of GodG2316.
The LORDH3068 possessedH7069 me in the beginningH7225 of his wayH1870, beforeH6924 his worksH4659 of old.
I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.
Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:
While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fieldsH2351, nor the highest partH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398. {fields: or, open places} {the highest…: or, the chief part}
When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415: {a compass: or, a circle}
When he establishedH553 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605: when he strengthenedH5810 the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415:
When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117+H3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;
RejoicingH7832 in the habitable partH8398 of his earthH776; and my delightsH8191 were with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
AndG2532 the WordG3056 was madeG1096 fleshG4561, andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG2254, (andG2532 we beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG1391, the gloryG1391 asG5613 of the only begottenG3439 ofG3844 the FatherG3962,) fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225.
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
AfterH310 these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceedingH3966 greatH7235 rewardH7939.
And AbramH87 saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, what wilt thou giveH5414 me, seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and the stewardH1121+H4943 of my houseH1004 is thisH1931 EliezerH461 of DamascusH1834?
And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, lo, one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423.
And, behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559, This shall not be thine heirH3423; but he that shall come forthH3318 out of thine own bowelsH4578 shall be thine heirH3423.
And he brought him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and tellH5608 the starsH3556, if thou be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be.
And he believedH539 in the LORDH3068; and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666.
And he saidH559 unto him, I am the LORDH3068 that brought thee outH3318 of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it.
And he saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, wherebyH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall inherit itH3423?
And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of three years oldH8027, and a she goatH5795 of three years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of three years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a young pigeonH1469.
And he tookH3947 unto him all these, and dividedH1334 them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 anotherH7453: but the birdsH6833 dividedH1334 he not.
And when the fowlsH5861 came downH3381 upon the carcasesH6297, AbramH87 drove them awayH5380.
And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him.
And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141;
And also that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310+H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399.
And thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872.
But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hitherH2008 againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH2008 fullH8003.
And it came to pass, that, when the sunH8121 went downH935, and it was darkH5939, behold a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 those piecesH1506. {a burning…: Heb. a lamp of fire}
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
The KenitesH7017, and the KenizzitesH7074, and the KadmonitesH6935,
And the HittitesH2850, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the RephaimsH7497,
And the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the JebusitesH2983.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 found herH4672 by a fountainH5869 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the fountainH5869 in the wayH1870 to ShurH7793.
In all their afflictionH6869 he was afflictedH6862, and the angelH4397 of his presenceH6440 savedH3467 them: in his loveH160 and in his pityH2551 he redeemedH1350 them; and he bareH5190 them, and carriedH5375 them all the daysH3117 of oldH5769.
And he saidH559, My presenceH6440 shall goH3212 with thee, and I will give thee restH5117.
Behold, I sendH7971 an AngelH4397 beforeH6440 thee, to keepH8104 thee in the wayH1870, and to bringH935 thee into the placeH4725 which I have preparedH3559.
Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG1093 of promiseG1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860:
AndG2532 the twelveG1427 gatesG4440 were twelveG1427 pearlsG3135; everyG1538+G303 severalG1520 gateG4440 wasG2258 ofG1537 oneG1520 pearlG3135: andG2532 the streetG4113 of the cityG4172 was pureG2513 goldG5553, as it wereG5613 transparentG1307 glassG5194.
ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which is aboveG507 isG2076 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG2076 the motherG3384 of usG2257 allG3956.
ButG235 ye are comeG4334 unto mountG3735 SionG4622, andG2532 unto the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32,
ForG1063 hereG5602 have weG2192 noG3756 continuingG3306 cityG4172, butG235 we seek oneG1934 to comeG3195.
And he removedH6275 from thence unto a mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, having BethelH1008 on the westH3220, and HaiH5857 on the eastH6924: and there he buildedH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
Then AbramH87 removed his tentH167, and cameH935 and dweltH3427 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471, which is in HebronH2275, and builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068. {plain: Heb. plains}
AndG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 shall comeG2240 fromG575 the eastG395 andG2532 westG1424, andG2532 shall sit downG347 withG3326 AbrahamG11, andG2532 IsaacG2464, andG2532 JacobG2384, inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
AfterH310 these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceedingH3966 greatH7235 rewardH7939.
And AbramH87 saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, what wilt thou giveH5414 me, seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and the stewardH1121+H4943 of my houseH1004 is thisH1931 EliezerH461 of DamascusH1834?
And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, lo, one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423.
And, behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559, This shall not be thine heirH3423; but he that shall come forthH3318 out of thine own bowelsH4578 shall be thine heirH3423.
And he brought him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and tellH5608 the starsH3556, if thou be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be.
And he believedH539 in the LORDH3068; and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666.
And he saidH559 unto him, I am the LORDH3068 that brought thee outH3318 of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it.
And he saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, wherebyH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall inherit itH3423?
And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of three years oldH8027, and a she goatH5795 of three years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of three years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a young pigeonH1469.
And he tookH3947 unto him all these, and dividedH1334 them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 anotherH7453: but the birdsH6833 dividedH1334 he not.
And when the fowlsH5861 came downH3381 upon the carcasesH6297, AbramH87 drove them awayH5380.
And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him.
And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141;
And also that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310+H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399.
And thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872.
But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hitherH2008 againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH2008 fullH8003.
And it came to pass, that, when the sunH8121 went downH935, and it was darkH5939, behold a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 those piecesH1506. {a burning…: Heb. a lamp of fire}
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
The KenitesH7017, and the KenizzitesH7074, and the KadmonitesH6935,
And the HittitesH2850, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the RephaimsH7497,
And the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the JebusitesH2983.
Now SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802 bareH3205 him noH3808 childrenH3205: and she had an handmaidH8198, an EgyptianH4713, whose nameH8034 was HagarH1904.
And SaraiH8297 saidH559 unto AbramH87, Behold now, the LORDH3068 hath restrained meH6113 from bearingH3205: I pray thee, go inH935 unto my maidH8198; it mayH194 be that I may obtain childrenH1129 by her. And AbramH87 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297. {obtain…: Heb. be built by her}
And SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802 tookH3947 HagarH1904 her maidH8198 the EgyptianH4713, afterH7093 AbramH87 had dweltH3427 tenH6235 yearsH8141 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and gaveH5414 her to her husbandH376 AbramH87 to be his wifeH802.
And he went inH935 unto HagarH1904, and she conceivedH2029: and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, her mistressH1404 was despisedH7043 in her eyesH5869.
And SaraiH8297 saidH559 unto AbramH87, My wrongH2555 be upon thee: I have givenH5414 my maidH8198 into thy bosomH2436; and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, I was despisedH7043 in her eyesH5869: the LORDH3068 judgeH8199 between me and thee.
But AbramH87 saidH559 unto SaraiH8297, Behold, thy maidH8198 is in thy handH3027; doH6213 to her as it pleaseth theeH2896+H5869. And when SaraiH8297 dealt hardly withH6031 her, she fledH1272 from her faceH6440. {as…: Heb. that which is good in thine eyes} {dealt…: Heb. afflicted her}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 found herH4672 by a fountainH5869 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the fountainH5869 in the wayH1870 to ShurH7793.
And he saidH559, HagarH1904, Sarai'sH8297 maidH8198, whenceH335 camest thouH935? and whither wilt thou goH3212? And she saidH559, I fleeH1272 from the faceH6440 of my mistressH1404 SaraiH8297.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, ReturnH7725 to thy mistressH1404, and submitH6031 thyself under her handsH3027.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 exceedinglyH7235, that it shall not be numberedH5608 for multitudeH7230.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, BeholdH2009, thou art with childH2030, and shalt bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IshmaelH3458; because the LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 thy afflictionH6040. {Ishmael: that is, God shall hear}
And he will be a wildH6501 manH120; his handH3027 will be against every man, and every man's handH3027 against him; and he shall dwellH7931 in the presenceH6440 of all his brethrenH251.
And she calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 that spakeH1696 unto her, Thou GodH410 seest meH7210: for she saidH559, Have I also hereH1988 lookedH7200 after himH310 that seeth meH7210?
Wherefore the wellH875 was calledH7121 BeerlahairoiH883+H2416; behold, it is between KadeshH6946 and BeredH1260. {Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}
And HagarH1904 bareH3205 AbramH87 a sonH1121: and AbramH87 calledH7121 his son'sH1121 nameH8034, which HagarH1904 bareH3205, IshmaelH3458.
And AbramH87 was fourscoreH8084+H8141 and sixH8337 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when HagarH1904 bareH3205 IshmaelH3458 to AbramH87.
And AbramH87 was fourscoreH8084+H8141 and sixH8337 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when HagarH1904 bareH3205 IshmaelH3458 to AbramH87.
And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966+H3966.
And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talkedH1696 with him, sayingH559,
As for meH589, behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt be a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471. {many…: Heb. multitude of nations}
Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471 have I made theeH5414. {Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}
And I will makeH6509 thee exceedingH3966+H3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall come outH3318 of thee.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310, the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and I will be their GodH430. {wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285 therefore, thou, and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755.
This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after theeH310; Every man childH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135.
And ye shall circumciseH5243 the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall be a tokenH226 of the covenantH1285 betwixt me and you.
And he that is eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121 shall be circumcisedH4135 among you, every man childH2145 in your generationsH1755, he that is bornH3211 in the houseH1004, or boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of any strangerH1121+H5236, which is not of thy seedH2233. {he that is eight…: Heb. a son of eight days}
He that is bornH3211 in thy houseH1004, and he that is boughtH4736 with thy moneyH3701, must needsH4135 be circumcisedH4135: and my covenantH1285 shall be in your fleshH1320 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
And the uncircumcisedH6189 man childH2145 whoseH834 fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190 is not circumcisedH4135, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971; he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, As for SaraiH8297 thy wifeH802, thou shalt not callH7121 her nameH8034 SaraiH8297, butH3588 SarahH8283 shall her nameH8034 be. {Sarah: that is Princess}
And I will blessH1288 her, and giveH5414 thee a sonH1121 also of her: yea, I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peopleH5971 shall be of her. {she…: Heb. she shall become nations}
Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto GodH430, O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 before theeH6440!
And GodH430 saidH559, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall bearH3205 thee a sonH1121 indeedH61; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IsaacH3327: and I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with him for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, and with his seedH2233 after himH310.
And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heard theeH8085: Behold, I have blessedH1288 him, and will make him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966+H3966; twelveH6240+H8147 princesH5387 shall he begetH3205, and I will make himH5414 a greatH1419 nationH1471.
But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, which SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 unto thee at this set timeH4150 in the nextH312 yearH8141.
And he left offH3615 talkingH1696 with him, and GodH430 went upH5927 from AbrahamH85.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121, and all that were bornH3211 in his houseH1004, and all that were boughtH4736 with his moneyH3701, every maleH2145 among the menH582 of Abraham'sH85 houseH1004; and circumcisedH4135 the fleshH1320 of their foreskinH6190 in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117, as GodH430 had saidH1696 unto him.
And AbrahamH85 was ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
And IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121 was thirteenH6240+H7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
In the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 was AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135, and IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121.
And all the menH582 of his houseH1004, bornH3211 in the houseH1004, and boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of the strangerH1121+H5236, were circumcisedH4135 with him.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that GodH430 did temptH5254 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Behold, here I am. {Behold…: Heb. Behold me}
And he saidH559, Take nowH3947 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son IsaacH3327, whom thou lovestH157, and get theeH3212 into the landH776 of MoriahH4179; and offer himH5927 there for a burnt offeringH5930 upon oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 which I will tellH559 thee of.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his young menH5288 with him, and IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and claveH1234 the woodH6086 for the burnt offeringH5930, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 unto the placeH4725 of which GodH430 had toldH559 him.
Then on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the placeH4725 afar offH7350.
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his young menH5288, AbideH3427 ye here with the assH2543; and I and the ladH5288 will goH3212 yonderH3541 and worshipH7812, and come againH7725 to you.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt offeringH5930, and laidH7760 it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 the fireH784 in his handH3027, and a knifeH3979; and they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162.
And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930? {lamb: or, kid}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, My sonH1121, GodH430 will provideH7200 himself a lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930: so they wentH3212 both of themH8147 togetherH3162.
And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.
And AbrahamH85 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold behindH310 him a ramH352 caughtH270 in a thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161: and AbrahamH85 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the ramH352, and offered him upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930 in the steadH8478 of his sonH1121.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto AbrahamH85 out of heavenH8064 the second timeH8145,
And saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for becauseH3282+H834 thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son:
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
So AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his young menH5288, and they rose upH6965 and wentH3212 togetherH3162 to BeershebaH884; and AbrahamH85 dweltH3427 at BeershebaH884.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
HuzH5780 his firstbornH1060, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758,
And ChesedH3777, and HazoH2375, and PildashH6394, and JidlaphH3044, and BethuelH1328.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And his concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was ReumahH7208, she bareH3205 also TebahH2875, and GahamH1514, and ThahashH8477, and MaachahH4601.
SojournH1481 in this landH776, and I will be with thee, and will blessH1288 thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233, I will giveH5414 all theseH411 countriesH776, and I will performH6965 the oathH7621 which I swareH7650 unto AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1;
And, behold, the LORDH3068 stoodH5324 above it, and saidH559, I am the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1, and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 whereon thou liestH7901, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233;
And thy seedH2233 shall be as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spread abroadH6555 to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. {spread…: Heb. break forth}
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keepH8104 thee in all places whitherH834 thou goestH3212, and will bring thee againH7725 into this landH127; for I will not leaveH5800 thee, untilH834 I have doneH6213 that which I have spokenH1696 to thee of.
And the landH776 which I gaveH5414 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327, to thee I will give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310 will I giveH5414 the landH776.
SojournH1481 in this landH776, and I will be with thee, and will blessH1288 thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233, I will giveH5414 all theseH411 countriesH776, and I will performH6965 the oathH7621 which I swareH7650 unto AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1;
And, behold, the LORDH3068 stoodH5324 above it, and saidH559, I am the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1, and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 whereon thou liestH7901, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233;
And the landH776 which I gaveH5414 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327, to thee I will give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310 will I giveH5414 the landH776.
Then againH3254 AbrahamH85 tookH3947 a wifeH802, and her nameH8034 was KeturahH6989.
And she bareH3205 him ZimranH2175, and JokshanH3370, and MedanH4091, and MidianH4080, and IshbakH3435, and ShuahH7744.
And JokshanH3370 begatH3205 ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719. And the sonsH1121 of DedanH1719 were AsshurimH805, and LetushimH3912, and LeummimH3817.
And the sonsH1121 of MidianH4080; EphahH5891, and EpherH6081, and HanochH2585, and AbidaH28, and EldaahH420. All these were the childrenH1121 of KeturahH6989.
Then againH3254 AbrahamH85 tookH3947 a wifeH802, and her nameH8034 was KeturahH6989.
And she bareH3205 him ZimranH2175, and JokshanH3370, and MedanH4091, and MidianH4080, and IshbakH3435, and ShuahH7744.
And JokshanH3370 begatH3205 ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719. And the sonsH1121 of DedanH1719 were AsshurimH805, and LetushimH3912, and LeummimH3817.
And the sonsH1121 of MidianH4080; EphahH5891, and EpherH6081, and HanochH2585, and AbidaH28, and EldaahH420. All these were the childrenH1121 of KeturahH6989.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
I beseechG3870 youG5209 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG2316, which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999.
AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 worldG165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of yourG5216 mindG3563, thatG1519 yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG2307 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
ForG1063 asG2509 we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 notG3756 the sameG846 officeG4234:
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
HavingG2192 thenG1161 giftsG5486 differingG1313 accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 that is givenG1325 to usG2254, whetherG1535 prophecyG4394, let us prophesy accordingG2596 to the proportionG356 of faithG4102;
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
Be kindly affectionedG5387 one to anotherG1519+G240 with brotherly loveG5360; in honourG5092 preferringG4285 one anotherG240; {with…: or, in the love of the brethren}
NotG3361 slothfulG3636 in businessG4710; ferventG2204 in spiritG4151; servingG1398 the LordG2962;
RejoicingG5463 in hopeG1680; patientG5278 in tribulationG2347; continuing instantG4342 in prayerG4335;
DistributingG2841 to the necessityG5532 of saintsG40; givenG1377 to hospitalityG5381.
BlessG2127 them which persecuteG1377 youG5209: blessG2127, andG2532 curseG2672 notG3361.
RejoiceG5463 withG3326 them that do rejoiceG5463, andG2532 weepG2799 withG3326 them that weepG2799.
Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 one toward anotherG1519+G240. MindG5426 notG3361 high thingsG5308, butG235 condescendG4879 to men of low estateG5011. BeG1096 notG3361 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438. {condescend…: or, be contented with mean things}
RecompenseG591 to no manG3367 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556. ProvideG4306 things honestG2570 in the sightG1799 of allG3956 menG444.
IfG1487 it be possibleG1415, as much as lieth inG1537 youG5216, live peaceablyG1514 withG3326 allG3956 menG444.
Dearly belovedG27, avengeG1556 notG3361 yourselvesG1438, butG235 rather giveG1325 placeG5117 unto wrathG3709: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 is mineG1698; IG1473 will repayG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 thineG4675 enemyG2190 hungerG3983, feedG5595 himG846; ifG1437 he thirstG1372, giveG4222 himG846 drinkG4222: forG1063 in soG5124 doingG4160 thou shalt heapG4987 coalsG440 of fireG4442 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
And the landH776 was not able to bearH5375 them, that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162: for their substanceH7399 was greatH7227, so that they couldH3201 not dwellH3427 togetherH3162.
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
And he brought him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and tellH5608 the starsH3556, if thou be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be.
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471 have I made theeH5414. {Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH3212 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father'sH1 houseH1004, unto a landH776 that I will shewH7200 thee:
And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, lo, one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423.
ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that GodH430 did temptH5254 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Behold, here I am. {Behold…: Heb. Behold me}
And he saidH559, Take nowH3947 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son IsaacH3327, whom thou lovestH157, and get theeH3212 into the landH776 of MoriahH4179; and offer himH5927 there for a burnt offeringH5930 upon oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 which I will tellH559 thee of.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his young menH5288 with him, and IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and claveH1234 the woodH6086 for the burnt offeringH5930, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 unto the placeH4725 of which GodH430 had toldH559 him.
Then on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the placeH4725 afar offH7350.
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his young menH5288, AbideH3427 ye here with the assH2543; and I and the ladH5288 will goH3212 yonderH3541 and worshipH7812, and come againH7725 to you.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt offeringH5930, and laidH7760 it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 the fireH784 in his handH3027, and a knifeH3979; and they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162.
And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930? {lamb: or, kid}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, My sonH1121, GodH430 will provideH7200 himself a lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930: so they wentH3212 both of themH8147 togetherH3162.
And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.
And AbrahamH85 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold behindH310 him a ramH352 caughtH270 in a thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161: and AbrahamH85 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the ramH352, and offered him upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930 in the steadH8478 of his sonH1121.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto AbrahamH85 out of heavenH8064 the second timeH8145,
And saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for becauseH3282+H834 thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son:
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
So AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his young menH5288, and they rose upH6965 and wentH3212 togetherH3162 to BeershebaH884; and AbrahamH85 dweltH3427 at BeershebaH884.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
HuzH5780 his firstbornH1060, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758,
And ChesedH3777, and HazoH2375, and PildashH6394, and JidlaphH3044, and BethuelH1328.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And his concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was ReumahH7208, she bareH3205 also TebahH2875, and GahamH1514, and ThahashH8477, and MaachahH4601.
For all the wellsH875 which his father'sH1 servantsH5650 had diggedH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them, and filledH4390 them with earthH6083.
And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto IsaacH3327, GoH3212 from us; for thou art muchH3966 mightierH6105 than we.
And IsaacH3327 departedH3212 thence, and pitched his tentH2583 in the valleyH5158 of GerarH1642, and dweltH3427 thereH8033.
I have lovedH157 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, Wherein hast thou lovedH157 us? Was not EsauH6215 Jacob'sH3290 brotherH251? saithH559 the LORDH3068: yet I lovedH157 JacobH3290,
It was saidG4483 unto herG846, The elderG3187 shall serveG1398 the youngerG1640. {elder: or, greater} {elder: or, greater} {younger: or, lesser}
Let everyG3956 soulG5590 be subjectG5293 unto the higherG5242 powersG1849. ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 powerG1849 butG1508 ofG575 GodG2316+G1161: the powersG1849 that beG5607 areG1526 ordainedG5021 ofG5259 GodG2316. {ordained: or, ordered}
Whosoever thereforeG5620 resistethG498 the powerG1849, resistethG436 the ordinanceG1296 of GodG2316: andG1161 they that resistG436 shall receiveG2983 to themselvesG1438 damnationG2917.
ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1526 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraidG5399 of the powerG1849? doG4160 that which is goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846:
ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556.
WhereforeG1352 ye must needsG318 be subjectG5293, notG3756 onlyG3440 forG1223 wrathG3709, butG235 alsoG2532 for conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ForG1063 forG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 pay yeG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1526 God'sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG5124 very thingG846.
RenderG591 thereforeG3767 to allG3956 their duesG3782: tributeG5411 to whomG3588 tributeG5411 is due; customG5056 to whomG3588 customG5056; fearG5401 to whomG3588 fearG5401; honourG5092 to whomG3588 honourG5092.
OweG3784 no manG3367 any thingG3367, butG1508 to loveG25 one anotherG240: forG1063 he that lovethG25 anotherG2087 hath fulfilledG4137 the lawG3551.
ForG1063 this, Thou shaltG3431 notG3756 commit adulteryG3431, Thou shaltG5407 notG3756 killG5407, Thou shaltG2813 notG3756 stealG2813, Thou shaltG5576 notG3756 bear false witnessG5576, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937; andG2532 if there be anyG1536 otherG2087 commandmentG1785, it is briefly comprehendedG346 inG1722 thisG5129 sayingG3056, namelyG1722, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4675 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG1438.
LoveG26 workethG2038 noG3756 illG2556 to his neighbourG4139: thereforeG3767 loveG26 is the fulfillingG4138 of the lawG3551.
AndG2532 thatG5124, knowingG1492 the timeG2540, thatG3754 nowG2235 it is high timeG5610 to awakeG2248+G1453 out ofG1537 sleepG5258: forG1063 nowG3568 is ourG2257 salvationG4991 nearerG1452 thanG2228 whenG3753 we believedG4100.
The nightG3571 is far spentG4298+G1161, the dayG2250 is at handG1448: let usG659 thereforeG3767 cast offG659 the worksG2041 of darknessG4655, andG2532 let us put onG1746 the armourG3696 of lightG5457.
Let us walkG4043 honestlyG2156, asG5613 inG1722 the dayG2250; notG3361 in riotingG2970 andG2532 drunkennessG3178, notG3361 in chamberingG2845 andG2532 wantonnessG766, notG3361 in strifeG2054 andG2532 envyingG2205. {honestly: or, decently}
ButG235 put ye onG1746 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 makeG4160 notG3361 provisionG4307 forG1519 the fleshG4561, to fulfil the lustsG1939 thereof.
Then JacobH3290 went onH5375 his journeyH7272, and cameH3212 into the landH776 of the peopleH1121 of the eastH6924. {went…: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
And he lookedH7200, and behold a wellH875 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, there were threeH7969 flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 lyingH7257 by it; for out of that wellH875 they wateredH8248 the flocksH5739: and a greatH1419 stoneH68 was upon the well'sH875 mouthH6310.
And thither were all the flocksH5739 gatheredH622: and they rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the sheepH6629, and putH7725 the stoneH68 againH7725 upon the well'sH875 mouthH6310 in his placeH4725.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto them, My brethrenH251, whenceH370 be ye? And they saidH559, Of HaranH2771 are we.
And he saidH559 unto them, KnowH3045 ye LabanH3837 the sonH1121 of NahorH5152? And they saidH559, We knowH3045 him.
And he saidH559 unto them, Is he wellH7965? And they saidH559, He is wellH7965: and, behold, RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 comethH935 with the sheepH6629. {Is he…: Heb. Is there peace to him?}
And he saidH559, LoH2005, it is yet highH1419 dayH3117, neither is it timeH6256 that the cattleH4735 should be gathered togetherH622: waterH8248 ye the sheepH6629, and goH3212 and feedH7462 them. {it is…: Heb. yet the day is great}
And they saidH559, We cannotH3201, until all the flocksH5739 be gathered togetherH622, and till they rollH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310; then we waterH8248 the sheepH6629.
And while he yetH5750 spakeH1696 with them, RachelH7354 cameH935 with her father'sH1 sheepH6629: for she kept themH7462.
And it came to pass, when JacobH3290 sawH7200 RachelH7354 the daughterH1323 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251, and the sheepH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251, that JacobH3290 went nearH5066, and rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the flockH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251.
And JacobH3290 kissedH5401 RachelH7354, and lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And JacobH3290 toldH5046 RachelH7354 that he was her father'sH1 brotherH251, and that he was Rebekah'sH7259 sonH1121: and she ranH7323 and toldH5046 her fatherH1.
And it came to pass, when LabanH3837 heardH8085 the tidingsH8088 of JacobH3290 his sister'sH269 sonH1121, that he ranH7323 to meetH7125 him, and embracedH2263 him, and kissedH5401 him, and broughtH935 him to his houseH1004. And he toldH5608 LabanH3837 all these thingsH1697. {tidings: Heb. hearing}
And LabanH3837 saidH559 to him, SurelyH389 thou art my boneH6106 and my fleshH1320. And he abodeH3427 with him the spaceH3117 of a monthH2320. {the space…: Heb. a month of days}
And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Because thou art my brotherH251, shouldest thou therefore serveH5647 me for noughtH2600? tellH5046 me, what shall thy wagesH4909 be?
And LabanH3837 had twoH8147 daughtersH1323: the nameH8034 of the elderH1419 was LeahH3812, and the nameH8034 of the youngerH6996 was RachelH7354.
LeahH3812 was tenderH7390 eyedH5869; but RachelH7354 was beautifulH3303+H8389 and wellH3303 favouredH4758.
And JacobH3290 lovedH157 RachelH7354; and saidH559, I will serveH5647 thee sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354 thy youngerH6996 daughterH1323.
And LabanH3837 saidH559, It is betterH2896 that I giveH5414 her to thee, than that I should giveH5414 her to anotherH312 manH376: abideH3427 with me.
And JacobH3290 servedH5647 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354; and they seemedH5869 unto him but a fewH259 daysH3117, for the love he hadH160 to her.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto LabanH3837, GiveH3051 me my wifeH802, for my daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390, that I may go inH935 unto her.
And LabanH3837 gathered togetherH622 all the menH582 of the placeH4725, and madeH6213 a feastH4960.
And it came to pass in the eveningH6153, that he tookH3947 LeahH3812 his daughterH1323, and broughtH935 her to him; and he went inH935 unto her.
And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 unto his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 ZilpahH2153 his maidH8198 for an handmaidH8198.
And it came to pass, that in the morningH1242, behold, it was LeahH3812: and he saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is this thou hast doneH6213 unto me? did not I serveH5647 with thee for RachelH7354? wherefore then hast thou beguiledH7411 me?
And LabanH3837 saidH559, It must not be so doneH6213 in our countryH4725, to giveH5414 the youngerH6810 beforeH6440 the firstbornH1067. {country: Heb. place}
FulfilH4390 herH2063 weekH7620, and we will giveH5414 thee this also for the serviceH5656 which thou shalt serveH5647 with me yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
And JacobH3290 didH6213 so, and fulfilledH4390 her weekH7620: and he gaveH5414 him RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802 also.
And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 to RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 BilhahH1090 his handmaidH8198 to be her maidH8198.
And he went inH935 also unto RachelH7354, and he lovedH157 also RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812, and servedH5647 with him yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that LeahH3812 was hatedH8130, he openedH6605 her wombH7358: but RachelH7354 was barrenH6135.
And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121, and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 ReubenH7205: forH3588 she saidH559, SurelyH3588 the LORDH3068 hath lookedH7200 upon my afflictionH6040; now thereforeH3588 my husbandH376 will loveH157 me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}
And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, Because the LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 that I was hatedH8130, he hath therefore givenH5414 me this son also: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 SimeonH8095. {Simeon: that is, Hearing}
And she conceived againH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, Now this timeH6471 will my husbandH376 be joinedH3867 unto me, because I have bornH3205 him threeH7969 sonsH1121: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 LeviH3878. {Levi: that is, Joined}
And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121: and she saidH559, NowH6471 will I praiseH3034 the LORDH3068: therefore she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JudahH3063; and leftH5975 bearingH3205. {Judah: that is, Praise} {left…: Heb. stood from bearing}
And when RachelH7354 sawH7200 that she bareH3205 JacobH3290 no children, RachelH7354 enviedH7065 her sisterH269; and saidH559 unto JacobH3290, GiveH3051 me childrenH1121, or elseH369 I dieH4191.
And Jacob'sH3290 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against RachelH7354: and he saidH559, Am I in God'sH430 stead, who hath withheldH4513 from thee the fruitH6529 of the wombH990?
And she saidH559, Behold my maidH519 BilhahH1090, go inH935 unto her; and she shall bearH3205 upon my kneesH1290, that I may also have childrenH1129 by her. {have…: Heb. be built by her}
And she gaveH5414 him BilhahH1090 her handmaidH8198 to wifeH802: and JacobH3290 went inH935 unto her.
And BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121.
And RachelH7354 saidH559, GodH430 hath judgedH1777 me, and hath also heardH8085 my voiceH6963, and hath givenH5414 me a sonH1121: therefore calledH7121 she his nameH8034 DanH1835. {Dan: that is, Judging}
And BilhahH1090 Rachel'sH7354 maidH8198 conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121.
And RachelH7354 saidH559, With greatH430 wrestlingsH5319 have I wrestledH6617 with my sisterH269, and I have prevailedH3201: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 NaphtaliH5321. {great…: Heb. wrestlings of God} {Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim}
When LeahH3812 sawH7200 that she had leftH5975 bearingH3205, she tookH3947 ZilpahH2153 her maidH8198, and gaveH5414 her JacobH3290 to wifeH802.
And ZilpahH2153 Leah'sH3812 maidH8198 bareH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, A troopH1409 comethH935: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 GadH1410. {Gad: that is, A troop, or, company}
And ZilpahH2153 Leah'sH3812 maidH8198 bareH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, Happy am IH837, for the daughtersH1323 will call me blessedH833: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 AsherH836. {Happy…: Heb. In my happiness} {Asher: that is, Happy}
And ReubenH7205 went inH3212 the daysH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and foundH4672 mandrakesH1736 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH935 them unto his motherH517 LeahH3812. Then RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, Give meH5414, I pray thee, of thy son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736.
And she saidH559 unto her, Is it a small matterH4592 that thou hast takenH3947 my husbandH376? and wouldest thou take awayH3947 my son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736 also? And RachelH7354 saidH559, Therefore he shall lieH7901 with thee to nightH3915 forH8478 thy son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736.
And JacobH3290 cameH935 out of the fieldH7704 in the eveningH6153, and LeahH3812 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thou must come inH935 unto me; for surelyH7936 I have hiredH7936 thee with my son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736. And he layH7901 with her that nightH3915.
And GodH430 hearkenedH8085 unto LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 the fifthH2549 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath givenH5414 me my hireH7939, becauseH834 I have givenH5414 my maidenH8198 to my husbandH376: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 IssacharH3485. {Issachar: that is, An hire}
And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 the sixthH8345 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath enduedH2064 me with a goodH2896 dowryH2065; nowH6471 will my husbandH376 dwellH2082 with me, because I have bornH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 ZebulunH2074. {Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon}
And afterwardsH310 she bareH3205 a daughterH1323, and calledH7121 her nameH8034 DinahH1783. {Dinah: that is Judgment}
And GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354, and GodH430 hearkenedH8085 to her, and openedH6605 her wombH7358.
And she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, GodH430 hath taken awayH622 my reproachH2781:
And she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JosephH3130; and saidH559, The LORDH3068 shall addH3254 to me anotherH312 sonH1121. {Joseph: that is, Adding}
And it came to pass, when RachelH7354 had bornH3205 JosephH3130, that JacobH3290 saidH559 unto LabanH3837, Send me awayH7971, that I may goH3212 unto mine own placeH4725, and to my countryH776.
GiveH5414 me my wivesH802 and my childrenH3206, forH2004 whom I have servedH5647 thee, and let me goH3212: for thou knowestH3045 my serviceH5656 which I have doneH5647 thee.
And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto him, I pray thee, if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869, tarry: for I have learned by experienceH5172 that the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 me for thy sakeH1558.
And he saidH559, AppointH5344 me thy wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 it.
And he saidH559 unto him, Thou knowestH3045 howH834 I have servedH5647 thee, and howH834 thy cattleH4735 was with me.
For it was littleH4592 which thou hadst before IH6440 came, and it is now increasedH6555 unto a multitudeH7230; and the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 thee since my comingH7272: and now whenH4970 shall I provideH6213 for mine own houseH1004 also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since…: Heb. at my foot}
And he saidH559, What shall I give theeH5414? And JacobH3290 saidH559, Thou shalt not giveH5414 me any thingH3972: if thou wilt doH6213 this thingH1697 for me, I will againH7725 feedH7462 and keepH8104 thy flockH6629:
I will passH5674 through all thy flockH6629 to dayH3117, removingH5493 from thence all the speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 cattleH7716, and all the brownH2345 cattleH7716 among the sheepH3775, and the spottedH2921 and speckledH5348 among the goatsH5795: and of such shall be my hireH7939.
So shall my righteousnessH6666 answerH6030 for me in timeH3117 to comeH4279, when it shall comeH935 for my hireH7939 before thy faceH6440: every oneH3605 that is not speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 among the goatsH5795, and brownH2345 among the sheepH3775, that shall be counted stolenH1589 with me. {in time…: Heb. to morrow}
And LabanH3837 saidH559, Behold, I would it might beH3863 according to thy wordH1697.
And he removedH5493 that dayH3117 the he goatsH8495 that were ringstrakedH6124 and spottedH2921, and all the she goatsH5795 that were speckledH5348 and spottedH2921, and every one that had some whiteH3836 in it, and all the brownH2345 among the sheepH3775, and gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of his sonsH1121.
And he setH7760 threeH7969 days'H3117 journeyH1870 betwixt himself and JacobH3290: and JacobH3290 fedH7462 the restH3498 of Laban'sH3837 flocksH6629.
And JacobH3290 tookH3947 him rodsH4731 of greenH3892 poplarH3839, and of the hazelH3869 and chesnut treeH6196; and pilledH6478 whiteH3836 strakesH6479 in them, and made the whiteH3836 appearH4286 which was in the rodsH4731.
And he setH3322 the rodsH4731 which he had pilledH6478 beforeH5227 the flocksH6629 in the guttersH7298 in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268 when the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354, that they should conceiveH3179 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354.
And the flocksH6629 conceivedH3179 before the rodsH4731, and brought forthH3205 cattleH6629 ringstrakedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921.
And JacobH3290 did separateH6504 the lambsH3775, and setH5414 the facesH6440 of the flocksH6629 towardH413 the ringstrakedH6124, and all the brownH2345 in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837; and he putH7896 his own flocksH5739 by themselves, and putH7896 them not unto Laban'sH3837 cattleH6629.
And it came to pass, whensoever the strongerH7194 cattleH6629 did conceiveH3179, that JacobH3290 laidH7760 the rodsH4731 before the eyesH5869 of the cattleH6629 in the guttersH7298, that they might conceiveH3179 among the rodsH4731.
But when the cattleH6629 were feebleH5848, he put them not inH7760: so the feeblerH5848 were Laban'sH3837, and the strongerH7194 Jacob'sH3290.
And the manH376 increasedH6555 exceedinglyH3966+H3966, and had muchH7227 cattleH6629, and maidservantsH8198, and menservantsH5650, and camelsH1581, and assesH2543.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that GodH430 did temptH5254 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Behold, here I am. {Behold…: Heb. Behold me}
And he saidH559, Take nowH3947 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son IsaacH3327, whom thou lovestH157, and get theeH3212 into the landH776 of MoriahH4179; and offer himH5927 there for a burnt offeringH5930 upon oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 which I will tellH559 thee of.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his young menH5288 with him, and IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and claveH1234 the woodH6086 for the burnt offeringH5930, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 unto the placeH4725 of which GodH430 had toldH559 him.
Then on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the placeH4725 afar offH7350.
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his young menH5288, AbideH3427 ye here with the assH2543; and I and the ladH5288 will goH3212 yonderH3541 and worshipH7812, and come againH7725 to you.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt offeringH5930, and laidH7760 it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 the fireH784 in his handH3027, and a knifeH3979; and they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162.
And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930? {lamb: or, kid}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, My sonH1121, GodH430 will provideH7200 himself a lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930: so they wentH3212 both of themH8147 togetherH3162.
And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.
And AbrahamH85 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold behindH310 him a ramH352 caughtH270 in a thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161: and AbrahamH85 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the ramH352, and offered him upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930 in the steadH8478 of his sonH1121.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto AbrahamH85 out of heavenH8064 the second timeH8145,
And saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for becauseH3282+H834 thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son:
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
So AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his young menH5288, and they rose upH6965 and wentH3212 togetherH3162 to BeershebaH884; and AbrahamH85 dweltH3427 at BeershebaH884.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
HuzH5780 his firstbornH1060, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758,
And ChesedH3777, and HazoH2375, and PildashH6394, and JidlaphH3044, and BethuelH1328.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And his concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was ReumahH7208, she bareH3205 also TebahH2875, and GahamH1514, and ThahashH8477, and MaachahH4601.
Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH3212 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father'sH1 houseH1004, unto a landH776 that I will shewH7200 thee:
And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
So AbramH87 departedH3212, as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto him; and LotH3876 wentH3212 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657+H8141 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 out of HaranH2771.
And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother'sH251 sonH1121, and all their substanceH7399 that they had gatheredH7408, and the soulsH5315 that they had gottenH6213 in HaranH2771; and they went forthH3318 to goH3212 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.
And AbramH87 passed throughH5674 the landH776 unto the placeH4725 of SichemH7927, unto the plainH436 of MorehH4176. And the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the landH776.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 thisH2063 landH776: and there buildedH1129 he an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, who appearedH7200 unto him.
And he removedH6275 from thence unto a mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, having BethelH1008 on the westH3220, and HaiH5857 on the eastH6924: and there he buildedH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And AbramH87 journeyedH5265, going onH1980 stillH5265 toward the southH5045. {going…: Heb. in going and journeying}
And there was a famineH7458 in the landH776: and AbramH87 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there; for the famineH7458 was grievousH3515 in the landH776.
And it came to pass, whenH834 he was come nearH7126 to enterH935 into EgyptH4714, that he saidH559 unto SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I knowH3045 that thou art a fairH3303 womanH802 to look uponH4758:
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 thee, that they shall sayH559, This is his wifeH802: and they will killH2026 me, but they will save thee aliveH2421.
SayH559, I pray theeH4994, thou art my sisterH269: thatH4616 it may be wellH3190 with me for thy sake; and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421 because of theeH1558.
And it came to pass, that, when AbramH87 was comeH935 into EgyptH4714, the EgyptiansH4713 beheldH7200 the womanH802 that she was veryH3966 fairH3303.
The princesH8269 also of PharaohH6547 sawH7200 her, and commendedH1984 her beforeH413 PharaohH6547: and the womanH802 was takenH3947 into Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004.
And he entreatedH3190 AbramH87 wellH3190 for her sake: and he had sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and he assesH2543, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198, and she assesH860, and camelsH1581.
And the LORDH3068 plaguedH5060 PharaohH6547 and his houseH1004 with greatH1419 plaguesH5061 because ofH1697 SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802.
And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 AbramH87, and saidH559, What is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto me? why didst thou not tellH5046 me that she was thy wifeH802?
Why saidst thouH559, She is my sisterH269? so I might have takenH3947 her to me to wifeH802: now therefore behold thy wifeH802, takeH3947 her, and go thy wayH3212.
And PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 his menH582 concerning him: and they sent him awayH7971, and his wifeH802, and all that he had.
AfterH310 these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceedingH3966 greatH7235 rewardH7939.
And AbramH87 saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, what wilt thou giveH5414 me, seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and the stewardH1121+H4943 of my houseH1004 is thisH1931 EliezerH461 of DamascusH1834?
And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, lo, one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423.
And, behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559, This shall not be thine heirH3423; but he that shall come forthH3318 out of thine own bowelsH4578 shall be thine heirH3423.
And he brought him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and tellH5608 the starsH3556, if thou be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be.
And he believedH539 in the LORDH3068; and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666.
And he saidH559 unto him, I am the LORDH3068 that brought thee outH3318 of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it.
And he saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, wherebyH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall inherit itH3423?
And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of three years oldH8027, and a she goatH5795 of three years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of three years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a young pigeonH1469.
And he tookH3947 unto him all these, and dividedH1334 them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 anotherH7453: but the birdsH6833 dividedH1334 he not.
And when the fowlsH5861 came downH3381 upon the carcasesH6297, AbramH87 drove them awayH5380.
And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him.
And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141;
And also that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310+H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399.
And thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872.
But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hitherH2008 againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH2008 fullH8003.
And it came to pass, that, when the sunH8121 went downH935, and it was darkH5939, behold a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 those piecesH1506. {a burning…: Heb. a lamp of fire}
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
The KenitesH7017, and the KenizzitesH7074, and the KadmonitesH6935,
And the HittitesH2850, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the RephaimsH7497,
And the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the JebusitesH2983.
Now SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802 bareH3205 him noH3808 childrenH3205: and she had an handmaidH8198, an EgyptianH4713, whose nameH8034 was HagarH1904.
And SaraiH8297 saidH559 unto AbramH87, Behold now, the LORDH3068 hath restrained meH6113 from bearingH3205: I pray thee, go inH935 unto my maidH8198; it mayH194 be that I may obtain childrenH1129 by her. And AbramH87 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297. {obtain…: Heb. be built by her}
And SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802 tookH3947 HagarH1904 her maidH8198 the EgyptianH4713, afterH7093 AbramH87 had dweltH3427 tenH6235 yearsH8141 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and gaveH5414 her to her husbandH376 AbramH87 to be his wifeH802.
And he went inH935 unto HagarH1904, and she conceivedH2029: and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, her mistressH1404 was despisedH7043 in her eyesH5869.
And SaraiH8297 saidH559 unto AbramH87, My wrongH2555 be upon thee: I have givenH5414 my maidH8198 into thy bosomH2436; and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, I was despisedH7043 in her eyesH5869: the LORDH3068 judgeH8199 between me and thee.
But AbramH87 saidH559 unto SaraiH8297, Behold, thy maidH8198 is in thy handH3027; doH6213 to her as it pleaseth theeH2896+H5869. And when SaraiH8297 dealt hardly withH6031 her, she fledH1272 from her faceH6440. {as…: Heb. that which is good in thine eyes} {dealt…: Heb. afflicted her}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 found herH4672 by a fountainH5869 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the fountainH5869 in the wayH1870 to ShurH7793.
And he saidH559, HagarH1904, Sarai'sH8297 maidH8198, whenceH335 camest thouH935? and whither wilt thou goH3212? And she saidH559, I fleeH1272 from the faceH6440 of my mistressH1404 SaraiH8297.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, ReturnH7725 to thy mistressH1404, and submitH6031 thyself under her handsH3027.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 exceedinglyH7235, that it shall not be numberedH5608 for multitudeH7230.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, BeholdH2009, thou art with childH2030, and shalt bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IshmaelH3458; because the LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 thy afflictionH6040. {Ishmael: that is, God shall hear}
And he will be a wildH6501 manH120; his handH3027 will be against every man, and every man's handH3027 against him; and he shall dwellH7931 in the presenceH6440 of all his brethrenH251.
And she calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 that spakeH1696 unto her, Thou GodH410 seest meH7210: for she saidH559, Have I also hereH1988 lookedH7200 after himH310 that seeth meH7210?
Wherefore the wellH875 was calledH7121 BeerlahairoiH883+H2416; behold, it is between KadeshH6946 and BeredH1260. {Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}
And HagarH1904 bareH3205 AbramH87 a sonH1121: and AbramH87 calledH7121 his son'sH1121 nameH8034, which HagarH1904 bareH3205, IshmaelH3458.
And AbramH87 was fourscoreH8084+H8141 and sixH8337 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when HagarH1904 bareH3205 IshmaelH3458 to AbramH87.
And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966+H3966.
And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talkedH1696 with him, sayingH559,
As for meH589, behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt be a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471. {many…: Heb. multitude of nations}
Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471 have I made theeH5414. {Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}
And I will makeH6509 thee exceedingH3966+H3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall come outH3318 of thee.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310, the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and I will be their GodH430. {wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285 therefore, thou, and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755.
This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after theeH310; Every man childH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135.
And ye shall circumciseH5243 the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall be a tokenH226 of the covenantH1285 betwixt me and you.
And he that is eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121 shall be circumcisedH4135 among you, every man childH2145 in your generationsH1755, he that is bornH3211 in the houseH1004, or boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of any strangerH1121+H5236, which is not of thy seedH2233. {he that is eight…: Heb. a son of eight days}
He that is bornH3211 in thy houseH1004, and he that is boughtH4736 with thy moneyH3701, must needsH4135 be circumcisedH4135: and my covenantH1285 shall be in your fleshH1320 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
And the uncircumcisedH6189 man childH2145 whoseH834 fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190 is not circumcisedH4135, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971; he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, As for SaraiH8297 thy wifeH802, thou shalt not callH7121 her nameH8034 SaraiH8297, butH3588 SarahH8283 shall her nameH8034 be. {Sarah: that is Princess}
And I will blessH1288 her, and giveH5414 thee a sonH1121 also of her: yea, I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peopleH5971 shall be of her. {she…: Heb. she shall become nations}
Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto GodH430, O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 before theeH6440!
And GodH430 saidH559, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall bearH3205 thee a sonH1121 indeedH61; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IsaacH3327: and I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with him for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, and with his seedH2233 after himH310.
And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heard theeH8085: Behold, I have blessedH1288 him, and will make him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966+H3966; twelveH6240+H8147 princesH5387 shall he begetH3205, and I will make himH5414 a greatH1419 nationH1471.
But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, which SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 unto thee at this set timeH4150 in the nextH312 yearH8141.
And he left offH3615 talkingH1696 with him, and GodH430 went upH5927 from AbrahamH85.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121, and all that were bornH3211 in his houseH1004, and all that were boughtH4736 with his moneyH3701, every maleH2145 among the menH582 of Abraham'sH85 houseH1004; and circumcisedH4135 the fleshH1320 of their foreskinH6190 in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117, as GodH430 had saidH1696 unto him.
And AbrahamH85 was ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
And IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121 was thirteenH6240+H7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
In the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 was AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135, and IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121.
And all the menH582 of his houseH1004, bornH3211 in the houseH1004, and boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of the strangerH1121+H5236, were circumcisedH4135 with him.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him in the plainsH436 of MamreH4471: and he satH3427 in the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the dayH3117;
And he lift upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324 by him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himself toward the groundH776,
And saidH559, My LordH136, if now I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, pass not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650:
Let a littleH4592 waterH4325, I pray youH4994, be fetchedH3947, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselvesH8172 under the treeH6086:
And I will fetchH3947 a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort yeH5582 your heartsH3820; after thatH310 ye shall pass onH5674: for therefore are ye comeH5674 toH5921 your servantH5650. And they saidH1696, So doH6213, as thou hast saidH559. {comfort: Heb. stay} {are…: Heb. you have passed}
And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, Make ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearthH6213. {Make ready…: Heb. Hasten}
And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetchtH3947 a calfH1121+H1241 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto a young manH5288; and he hastedH4116 to dressH6213 it.
And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1121+H1241 which he had dressedH6213, and setH5414 it before themH6440; and he stoodH5975 by them under the treeH6086, and they did eatH398.
And they saidH559 unto him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559, Behold, in the tentH168.
And he saidH559, I will certainlyH7725 returnH7725 unto thee according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416; and, lo, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 it in the tentH168 doorH6607, which was behind himH310.
Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205 and well strickenH935 in ageH3117; and it ceasedH2308 to be with SarahH8283 after the mannerH734 of womenH802.
Therefore SarahH8283 laughedH6711 within herselfH7130, sayingH559, AfterH310 I am waxed oldH1086 shall I have pleasureH5730, my lordH113 being old alsoH2204?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhereforeH4100 did SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a suretyH552 bearH3205 a child, whichH589 am oldH2204?
IsH6381 any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for the LORDH3068? At the time appointedH4150 I will returnH7725 unto thee, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121.
Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I laughedH6711 not; for she was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, NayH3808; but thou didst laughH6711.
And the menH582 rose upH6965 from thence, and lookedH8259 towardH6440 SodomH5467: and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 with them to bring them on the wayH7971.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Shall I hideH3680 from AbrahamH85 that thing whichH834 I doH6213;
Seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surely become a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288 in him?
For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Because the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is greatH7227, and because their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievousH3513;
I will go downH3381 now, and seeH7200 whether they have doneH6213 altogetherH3617 according to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935 unto me; and if not, I will knowH3045.
And the menH582 turned their facesH6437 from thence, and wentH3212 toward SodomH5467: but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975 yetH5750 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And AbrahamH85 drew nearH5066, and saidH559, Wilt thou also destroyH5595 the righteousH6662 withH5973 the wickedH7563?
Peradventure there beH3426 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892: wilt thou also destroyH5595 and not spareH5375 the placeH4725 forH4616 the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that are thereinH7130?
That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 after this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563: and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563, that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199 of all the earthH776 doH6213 rightH4941?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, If I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will spareH5375 all the placeH4725 for their sakes.
And AbrahamH85 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136, whichH595 am but dustH6083 and ashesH665:
Peradventure there shall lackH2637 fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662: wilt thou destroyH7843 all the cityH5892 for lack of fiveH2568? And he saidH559, If I findH4672 there fortyH705 and fiveH2568, I will not destroyH7843 it.
And he spakeH1696 unto him yet againH3254, and saidH559, Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it for forty'sH705 sake.
And he saidH559 unto him, OhH4994 let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696: Peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it, if I findH4672 thirtyH7970 there.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136: Peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for twenty'sH6242 sake.
And he saidH559, Oh let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696 yetH389 but this onceH6471: Peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for ten'sH6235 sake.
And the LORDH3068 went his wayH3212, as soon asH834 he had leftH3615 communingH1696 with AbrahamH85: and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his placeH4725.
And the LORDH3068 visitedH6485 SarahH8283 as he had saidH559, and the LORDH3068 didH6213 unto SarahH8283 as he had spokenH1696.
For SarahH8283 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 AbrahamH85 a sonH1121 in his old ageH2208, at the set timeH4150 of which GodH430 had spokenH1696 to him.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of his sonH1121 that was bornH3205 unto him, whom SarahH8283 bareH3205 to him, IsaacH3327.
And AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135 his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 being eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121, as GodH430 had commandedH6680 him.
And AbrahamH85 was an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 was bornH3205 unto him.
And SarahH8283 saidH559, GodH430 hath madeH6213 me to laughH6712, so that all that hearH8085 will laughH6711 with me.
And she saidH559, Who would have saidH4448 unto AbrahamH85, that SarahH8283 should have given childrenH1121 suckH3243? for I have bornH3205 him a sonH1121 in his old ageH2208.
And the childH3206 grewH1431, and was weanedH1580: and AbrahamH85 madeH6213 a greatH1419 feastH4960 the same dayH3117 that IsaacH3327 was weanedH1580.
And SarahH8283 sawH7200 the sonH1121 of HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, which she had bornH3205 unto AbrahamH85, mockingH6711.
Wherefore she saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Cast outH1644 this bondwomanH519 and her sonH1121: for the sonH1121 of this bondwomanH519 shall not be heirH3423 with my sonH1121, even with IsaacH3327.
And the thingH1697 was veryH3966 grievousH3415 in Abraham'sH85 sightH5869 becauseH182 of his sonH1121.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Let it not be grievousH3415 in thy sightH5869 because of the ladH5288, and because of thy bondwomanH519; in all that SarahH8283 hath saidH559 unto thee, hearkenH8085 unto her voiceH6963; for in IsaacH3327 shall thy seedH2233 be calledH7121.
And also of the sonH1121 of the bondwomanH519 will I makeH7760 a nationH1471, because he is thy seedH2233.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 breadH3899, and a bottleH2573 of waterH4325, and gaveH5414 it unto HagarH1904, puttingH7760 it on her shoulderH7926, and the childH3206, and sent her awayH7971: and she departedH3212, and wanderedH8582 in the wildernessH4057 of BeershebaH884.
And the waterH4325 was spentH3615 inH4480 the bottleH2573, and she castH7993 the childH3206 under oneH259 of the shrubsH7880.
And she wentH3212, and sat her downH3427 over againstH5048 him a good way offH7368, as it were a bowshotH2909+H7198: for she saidH559, Let me not seeH7200 the deathH4194 of the childH3206. And she satH3427 over against him, and lift upH5375 her voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And GodH430 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288; and the angelH4397 of GodH430 calledH7121 to HagarH1904 out of heavenH8064, and saidH559 unto her, What aileth thee, HagarH1904? fearH3372 not; for GodH430 hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288 where he is.
AriseH6965, lift upH5375 the ladH5288, and holdH2388 him in thine handH3027; for I will makeH7760 him a greatH1419 nationH1471.
And GodH430 openedH6491 her eyesH5869, and she sawH7200 a wellH875 of waterH4325; and she wentH3212, and filledH4390 the bottleH2573 with waterH4325, and gaveH8248 the ladH5288 drinkH8248.
And GodH430 was with the ladH5288; and he grewH1431, and dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057, and became an archerH7235+H7199.
And he dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290: and his motherH517 tookH3947 him a wifeH802 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that AbimelechH40 and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his hostH6635 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85, sayingH559, GodH430 is with thee in all that thou doestH6213:
Now therefore swearH7650 unto me hereH2008 by GodH430 that thou wilt not deal falselyH8266 with me, nor with my sonH5209, nor with my son's sonH5220: but according to the kindnessH2617 that I have doneH6213 unto thee, thou shalt doH6213 unto me, and to the landH776 wherein thou hast sojournedH1481. {that thou…: Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, I will swearH7650.
And AbrahamH85 reprovedH3198 AbimelechH40 becauseH182 of a wellH875 of waterH4325, which Abimelech'sH40 servantsH5650 had violently taken awayH1497.
And AbimelechH40 saidH559, I wotH3045 not who hath doneH6213 this thingH1697: neitherH3808 didst thou tellH5046 me, neitherH3808 yet heardH8085 I of it, butH1115 to dayH3117.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 them unto AbimelechH40; and both of themH8147 madeH3772 a covenantH1285.
And AbrahamH85 setH5324 sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 of the flockH6629 by themselves.
And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhatH2008 mean these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 which thou hast setH5324 by themselves?
And he saidH559, For these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 shalt thou takeH3947 of my handH3027, thatH5668 they may be a witnessH5713 unto me, that I have diggedH2658 this wellH875.
Wherefore he calledH7121 that placeH4725 BeershebaH884; because there they swareH7650 both of themH8147. {Beersheba: that is, The well of the oath}
Thus they madeH3772 a covenantH1285 at BeershebaH884: then AbimelechH40 rose upH6965, and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his hostH6635, and they returnedH7725 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And Abraham plantedH5193 a groveH815 in BeershebaH884, and calledH7121 there on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the everlastingH5769 GodH410. {grove: or, tree}
And AbrahamH85 sojournedH1481 in the Philistines'H6430 landH776 manyH7227 daysH3117.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that GodH430 did temptH5254 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Behold, here I am. {Behold…: Heb. Behold me}
And he saidH559, Take nowH3947 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son IsaacH3327, whom thou lovestH157, and get theeH3212 into the landH776 of MoriahH4179; and offer himH5927 there for a burnt offeringH5930 upon oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 which I will tellH559 thee of.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his young menH5288 with him, and IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and claveH1234 the woodH6086 for the burnt offeringH5930, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 unto the placeH4725 of which GodH430 had toldH559 him.
Then on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the placeH4725 afar offH7350.
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his young menH5288, AbideH3427 ye here with the assH2543; and I and the ladH5288 will goH3212 yonderH3541 and worshipH7812, and come againH7725 to you.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt offeringH5930, and laidH7760 it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 the fireH784 in his handH3027, and a knifeH3979; and they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162.
And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930? {lamb: or, kid}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, My sonH1121, GodH430 will provideH7200 himself a lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930: so they wentH3212 both of themH8147 togetherH3162.
And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.
And AbrahamH85 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold behindH310 him a ramH352 caughtH270 in a thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161: and AbrahamH85 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the ramH352, and offered him upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930 in the steadH8478 of his sonH1121.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto AbrahamH85 out of heavenH8064 the second timeH8145,
And saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for becauseH3282+H834 thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son:
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
So AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his young menH5288, and they rose upH6965 and wentH3212 togetherH3162 to BeershebaH884; and AbrahamH85 dweltH3427 at BeershebaH884.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
HuzH5780 his firstbornH1060, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758,
And ChesedH3777, and HazoH2375, and PildashH6394, and JidlaphH3044, and BethuelH1328.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And his concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was ReumahH7208, she bareH3205 also TebahH2875, and GahamH1514, and ThahashH8477, and MaachahH4601.
And AbrahamH85 was oldH2204, and well strickenH935 in ageH3117: and the LORDH3068 had blessedH1288 AbrahamH85 in all things. {well…: Heb. gone into days}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his eldestH2205 servantH5650 of his houseH1004, that ruled overH4910 all that he had, PutH7760, I pray thee, thy handH3027 under my thighH3409:
And I will make thee swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, and the GodH430 of the earthH776, that thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121 of the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669, amongH7130 whom I dwellH3427:
But thou shalt goH3212 unto my countryH776, and to my kindredH4138, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121 IsaacH3327.
And the servantH5650 saidH559 unto him, Peradventure the womanH802 will not be willingH14 to followH3212 meH310 unto this landH776: must I needs bringH7725 thy sonH1121 againH7725 unto the landH776 from whence thou camestH3318?
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto him, BewareH8104 thou that thou bringH7725 notH6435 my sonH1121 thither againH7725.
The LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064, which took meH3947 from my father'sH1 houseH1004, and from the landH776 of my kindredH4138, and which spakeH1696 unto me, and that swareH7650 unto me, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 this landH776; he shall sendH7971 his angelH4397 before theeH6440, and thou shalt takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121 from thence.
And if the womanH802 will not be willingH14 to followH3212 theeH310, then thou shalt be clearH5352 from this my oathH7621: only bringH7725 not my sonH1121 thither againH7725.
And the servantH5650 putH7760 his handH3027 under the thighH3409 of AbrahamH85 his masterH113, and swareH7650 to him concerningH5921 thatH2088 matterH1697.
And the servantH5650 tookH3947 tenH6235 camelsH1581 of the camelsH1581 of his masterH113, and departedH3212; for all the goodsH2898 of his masterH113 were in his handH3027: and he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to MesopotamiaH763, unto the cityH5892 of NahorH5152. {for: or, and}
And he madeH1288 his camelsH1581 to kneel downH1288 withoutH2351 the cityH5892 byH413 a wellH875 of waterH4325 at the timeH6256 of the eveningH6153, even the timeH6256 that women go outH3318 to drawH7579 water. {that…: Heb. that women who draw water go forth}
And he saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, I pray thee, send meH6440 good speedH7136 this dayH3117, and shewH6213 kindnessH2617 untoH5973 my masterH113 AbrahamH85.
Behold, I standH5324 here by the wellH5869 of waterH4325; and the daughtersH1323 of the menH582 of the cityH5892 come outH3318 to drawH7579 waterH4325:
And let it come to pass, that the damselH5291 to whom I shall sayH559, Let downH5186 thy pitcherH3537, I pray thee, that I may drinkH8354; and she shall sayH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8248 also: let the same be she that thou hast appointedH3198 for thy servantH5650 IsaacH3327; and thereby shall I knowH3045 that thou hast shewedH6213 kindnessH2617 unto my masterH113.
And it came to pass, before he had doneH3615 speakingH1696, that, behold, RebekahH7259 came outH3318, whoH834 was bornH3205 to BethuelH1328, sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, the wifeH802 of NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251, with her pitcherH3537 upon her shoulderH7926.
And the damselH5291 was veryH3966 fairH2896 to look uponH4758, a virginH1330, neither had any manH376 knownH3045 her: and she went downH3381 to the wellH5869, and filledH4390 her pitcherH3537, and came upH5927. {very…: Heb. good of countenance}
And the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meet herH7125, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, drinkH1572 a littleH4592 waterH4325 of thy pitcherH3537.
And she saidH559, DrinkH8354, my lordH113: and she hastedH4116, and let downH3381 her pitcherH3537 upon her handH3027, and gave him drinkH8248.
And when she had doneH3615 giving him drinkH8248, she saidH559, I will drawH7579 water for thy camelsH1581 also, until they have doneH3615 drinkingH8354.
And she hastedH4116, and emptiedH6168 her pitcherH3537 into the troughH8268, and ranH7323 again unto the wellH875 to drawH7579 water, and drewH7579 for all his camelsH1581.
And the manH376 wonderingH7583 at her held his peaceH2790, to witH3045 whether the LORDH3068 had madeH6743 his journeyH1870 prosperousH6743 orH518 not.
And it came to pass, as the camelsH1581 had doneH3615 drinkingH8354, that the manH376 tookH3947 a goldenH2091 earringH5141 of half a shekelH1235 weightH4948, and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 for her handsH3027 of tenH6235 shekels weightH4948 of goldH2091; {earring: or, jewel for the forehead}
And saidH559, WhoseH4310 daughterH1323 art thouH859? tellH5046 me, I pray thee: is thereH3426 roomH4725 in thy father'sH1 houseH1004 for us to lodge inH3885?
And she saidH559 unto him, I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, which she bareH3205 unto NahorH5152.
She saidH559 moreover unto him, We have bothH1571 strawH8401 and provenderH4554 enoughH7227, andH1571 roomH4725 to lodge inH3885.
And the manH376 bowed down his headH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, who hath not left destituteH5800+H5973 my masterH113 of his mercyH2617 and his truthH571: I being in the wayH1870, the LORDH3068 led meH5148 to the houseH1004 of my master'sH113 brethrenH251.
And the damselH5291 ranH7323, and toldH5046 them of her mother'sH517 houseH1004 these thingsH1697.
And RebekahH7259 had a brotherH251, and his nameH8034 was LabanH3837: and LabanH3837 ranH7323 outH2351 unto the manH376, unto the wellH5869.
And it came to pass, when he sawH7200 the earringH5141 and braceletsH6781 upon his sister'sH269 handsH3027, and when he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of RebekahH7259 his sisterH269, sayingH559, ThusH3541 spakeH1696 the manH376 unto me; that he cameH935 unto the manH376; and, behold, he stoodH5975 byH5921 the camelsH1581 at the wellH5869.
And he saidH559, Come inH935, thou blessedH1288 of the LORDH3068; wherefore standestH5975 thou withoutH2351? for I have preparedH6437 the houseH1004, and roomH4725 for the camelsH1581.
And the manH376 cameH935 into the houseH1004: and he ungirdedH6605 his camelsH1581, and gaveH5414 strawH8401 and provenderH4554 for the camelsH1581, and waterH4325 to washH7364 his feetH7272, and the men'sH582 feetH7272 that were with him.
And there was setH7760+H3455 meat before himH6440 to eatH398: but he saidH559, I will not eatH398, until I have toldH1696 mine errandH1697. And he saidH559, Speak onH1696.
And he saidH559, I am Abraham'sH85 servantH5650.
And the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 my masterH113 greatlyH3966; and he is become greatH1431: and he hath givenH5414 him flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and silverH3701, and goldH2091, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198, and camelsH1581, and assesH2543.
And SarahH8283 my master'sH113 wifeH802 bareH3205 a sonH1121 to my masterH113 whenH310 she was oldH2209: and unto him hath he givenH5414 all that he hath.
And my masterH113 made me swearH7650, sayingH559, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 to my sonH1121 of the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669, in whose landH776 I dwellH3427:
ButH518 thou shalt goH3212 unto my father'sH1 houseH1004, and to my kindredH4940, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121.
And I saidH559 unto my masterH113, Peradventure the womanH802 will not followH3212+H310 me.
And he saidH559 unto me, The LORDH3068, beforeH6440 whom I walkH1980, will sendH7971 his angelH4397 with thee, and prosperH6743 thy wayH1870; and thou shalt takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 of my kindredH4940, and of my father'sH1 houseH1004:
Then shalt thou be clearH5352 from this my oathH423, when thou comestH935 to my kindredH4940; and if they giveH5414 not thee one, thou shalt be clearH5355 from my oathH423.
And I cameH935 this dayH3117 unto the wellH5869, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, if now thou doH3426 prosperH6743 my wayH1870 which I goH1980:
Behold, I standH5324 by the wellH5869 of waterH4325; and it shall come to pass, that when the virginH5959 cometh forthH3318 to drawH7579 water, and I sayH559 to her, Give meH8248, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 of thy pitcherH3537 to drinkH8248;
And she sayH559 to me, Both drinkH8354 thou, and I will also drawH7579 for thy camelsH1581: let the same be the womanH802 whom the LORDH3068 hath appointed outH3198 for my master'sH113 sonH1121.
And before I had doneH3615 speakingH1696 in mine heartH3820, behold, RebekahH7259 came forthH3318 with her pitcherH3537 on her shoulderH7926; and she went downH3381 unto the wellH5869, and drewH7579 water: and I saidH559 unto her, Let me drinkH8248, I pray thee.
And she made hasteH4116, and let downH3381 her pitcherH3537 from her shoulder, and saidH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8248 also: so I drankH8354, and she madeH8248 the camelsH1581 drinkH8248 also.
And I askedH7592 her, and saidH559, Whose daughterH1323 art thou? And she saidH559, The daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328, Nahor'sH5152 sonH1121, whom MilcahH4435 bareH3205 unto him: and I putH7760 the earringH5141 upon her faceH639, and the braceletsH6781 upon her handsH3027.
And I bowed down my headH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, and blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, which had led meH5148 in the rightH571 wayH1870 to takeH3947 my master'sH113 brother'sH251 daughterH1323 unto his sonH1121.
And now if ye willH3426 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 and trulyH571 with my masterH113, tellH5046 me: and if not, tellH5046 me; that I may turnH6437 to the right handH3225, orH176 to the leftH8040.
Then LabanH3837 and BethuelH1328 answeredH6030 and saidH559, The thingH1697 proceedethH3318 from the LORDH3068: we cannotH3201 speakH1696 unto thee badH7451 orH176 goodH2896.
Behold, RebekahH7259 is before theeH6440, takeH3947 her, and goH3212, and let her be thy master'sH113 son'sH1121 wifeH802, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham'sH85 servantH5650 heardH8085 their wordsH1697, he worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, bowing himself to the earthH776.
And the servantH5650 brought forthH3318 jewelsH3627 of silverH3701, and jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, and raimentH899, and gaveH5414 them to RebekahH7259: he gaveH5414 also to her brotherH251 and to her motherH517 precious thingsH4030. {jewels: Heb. vessels}
And they did eatH398 and drinkH8354, he and the menH582 that were with him, and tarried all nightH3885; and they rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and he saidH559, Send me awayH7971 unto my masterH113.
And her brotherH251 and her motherH517 saidH559, Let the damselH5291 abideH3427 with us a few daysH3117, at the leastH176 tenH6218; afterH310 that she shall goH3212. {a few…: or, a full year, or ten months}
And he saidH559 unto them, Hinder meH309 not, seeing the LORDH3068 hath prosperedH6743 my wayH1870; send me awayH7971 that I may goH3212 to my masterH113.
And they saidH559, We will callH7121 the damselH5291, and enquireH7592 at her mouthH6310.
And they calledH7121 RebekahH7259, and saidH559 unto her, Wilt thou goH3212 with this manH376? And she saidH559, I will goH3212.
And they sent awayH7971 RebekahH7259 their sisterH269, and her nurseH3243, and Abraham'sH85 servantH5650, and his menH582.
And they blessedH1288 RebekahH7259, and saidH559 unto her, ThouH859 art our sisterH269, be thouH1961 the mother of thousandsH505 of millionsH7233, and let thy seedH2233 possessH3423 the gateH8179 of those which hateH8130 them.
And RebekahH7259 aroseH6965, and her damselsH5291, and they rodeH7392 upon the camelsH1581, and followedH3212+H310 the manH376: and the servantH5650 tookH3947 RebekahH7259, and went his wayH3212.
And IsaacH3327 cameH935 from the wayH935 of the well LahairoiH883; for he dweltH3427 in the southH5045 countryH776.
And IsaacH3327 went outH3318 to meditateH7742 in the fieldH7704 atH6437 the eventideH6153: and he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and, behold, the camelsH1581 were comingH935. {to meditate: or, to pray}
And RebekahH7259 lifted upH5375 her eyesH5869, and when she sawH7200 IsaacH3327, she lightedH5307 offH5921 the camelH1581.
For she had saidH559 unto the servantH5650, WhatH4310 manH376 is thisH1976 that walkethH1980 in the fieldH7704 to meet usH7125? And the servantH5650 had saidH559, It is my masterH113: therefore she tookH3947 a vailH6809, and covered herselfH3680.
And the servantH5650 toldH5608 IsaacH3327 all thingsH1697 that he had doneH6213.
And IsaacH3327 brought herH935 into his motherH517 Sarah'sH8283 tentH168, and tookH3947 RebekahH7259, and she became his wifeH802; and he lovedH157 her: and IsaacH3327 was comfortedH5162 afterH310 his mother'sH517 death.
Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 found herH4672 by a fountainH5869 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the fountainH5869 in the wayH1870 to ShurH7793.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him in a flameH3827 of fireH784 out of the midstH8432 of a bushH5572: and he lookedH7200, and, behold, the bushH5572 burnedH1197 with fireH784, and the bushH5572 was not consumedH398.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him in a flameH3827 of fireH784 out of the midstH8432 of a bushH5572: and he lookedH7200, and, behold, the bushH5572 burnedH1197 with fireH784, and the bushH5572 was not consumedH398.
And ManoahH4495 saidH559 unto his wifeH802, We shall surelyH4191 dieH4191, because we have seenH7200 GodH430.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Why askestH7592 thou thus after my nameH8034, seeing it is secretH6383+H6383? {secret: or, wonderful}
For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205, unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289, The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
These thingsG5023 saidG2036 EsaiasG2268, whenG3753 he sawG1492 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846.
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 UzziahH5818 diedH4194 I sawH7200 alsoH853 the LordH136 sittingH3427 upon a throneH3678, highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and his trainH7757 filledH4392+H853 the templeH1964. {his…: or, the skirts thereof}
AboveH4605 it stoodH5975 the seraphimsH8314: each oneH259 had sixH8337 wingsH3671; with twainH8147 he coveredH3680 his faceH6440, and with twainH8147 he coveredH3680 his feetH7272, and with twainH8147 he did flyH5774.
And one criedH7121 unto another, and saidH559, HolyH6918, holyH6918, holyH6918, is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: the whole earthH776 is fullH4393 of his gloryH3519. {one…: Heb. this cried to this} {the whole…: Heb. his glory is the fulness of the whole earth}
And the postsH520 of the doorH5592 movedH5128 at the voiceH6963 of him that criedH7121, and the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with smokeH6227. {door: Heb. thresholds}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 exceedinglyH7235, that it shall not be numberedH5608 for multitudeH7230.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him in the plainsH436 of MamreH4471: and he satH3427 in the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the dayH3117;
And he lift upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324 by him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himself toward the groundH776,
And saidH559, My LordH136, if now I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, pass not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650:
Let a littleH4592 waterH4325, I pray youH4994, be fetchedH3947, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselvesH8172 under the treeH6086:
And I will fetchH3947 a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort yeH5582 your heartsH3820; after thatH310 ye shall pass onH5674: for therefore are ye comeH5674 toH5921 your servantH5650. And they saidH1696, So doH6213, as thou hast saidH559. {comfort: Heb. stay} {are…: Heb. you have passed}
And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, Make ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearthH6213. {Make ready…: Heb. Hasten}
And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetchtH3947 a calfH1121+H1241 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto a young manH5288; and he hastedH4116 to dressH6213 it.
And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1121+H1241 which he had dressedH6213, and setH5414 it before themH6440; and he stoodH5975 by them under the treeH6086, and they did eatH398.
And they saidH559 unto him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559, Behold, in the tentH168.
And he saidH559, I will certainlyH7725 returnH7725 unto thee according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416; and, lo, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 it in the tentH168 doorH6607, which was behind himH310.
Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205 and well strickenH935 in ageH3117; and it ceasedH2308 to be with SarahH8283 after the mannerH734 of womenH802.
Therefore SarahH8283 laughedH6711 within herselfH7130, sayingH559, AfterH310 I am waxed oldH1086 shall I have pleasureH5730, my lordH113 being old alsoH2204?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhereforeH4100 did SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a suretyH552 bearH3205 a child, whichH589 am oldH2204?
IsH6381 any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for the LORDH3068? At the time appointedH4150 I will returnH7725 unto thee, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121.
Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I laughedH6711 not; for she was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, NayH3808; but thou didst laughH6711.
And the menH582 rose upH6965 from thence, and lookedH8259 towardH6440 SodomH5467: and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 with them to bring them on the wayH7971.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Shall I hideH3680 from AbrahamH85 that thing whichH834 I doH6213;
Seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surely become a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288 in him?
For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Because the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is greatH7227, and because their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievousH3513;
I will go downH3381 now, and seeH7200 whether they have doneH6213 altogetherH3617 according to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935 unto me; and if not, I will knowH3045.
And the menH582 turned their facesH6437 from thence, and wentH3212 toward SodomH5467: but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975 yetH5750 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And AbrahamH85 drew nearH5066, and saidH559, Wilt thou also destroyH5595 the righteousH6662 withH5973 the wickedH7563?
Peradventure there beH3426 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892: wilt thou also destroyH5595 and not spareH5375 the placeH4725 forH4616 the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that are thereinH7130?
That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 after this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563: and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563, that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199 of all the earthH776 doH6213 rightH4941?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, If I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will spareH5375 all the placeH4725 for their sakes.
And AbrahamH85 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136, whichH595 am but dustH6083 and ashesH665:
Peradventure there shall lackH2637 fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662: wilt thou destroyH7843 all the cityH5892 for lack of fiveH2568? And he saidH559, If I findH4672 there fortyH705 and fiveH2568, I will not destroyH7843 it.
And he spakeH1696 unto him yet againH3254, and saidH559, Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it for forty'sH705 sake.
And he saidH559 unto him, OhH4994 let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696: Peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it, if I findH4672 thirtyH7970 there.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136: Peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for twenty'sH6242 sake.
And he saidH559, Oh let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696 yetH389 but this onceH6471: Peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for ten'sH6235 sake.
And the LORDH3068 went his wayH3212, as soon asH834 he had leftH3615 communingH1696 with AbrahamH85: and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his placeH4725.
Behold, I sendH7971 an AngelH4397 beforeH6440 thee, to keepH8104 thee in the wayH1870, and to bringH935 thee into the placeH4725 which I have preparedH3559.
Now these are the judgmentsH4941 which thou shalt setH7760 beforeH6440 them.
If thou buyH7069 an HebrewH5680 servantH5650, sixH8337 yearsH8141 he shall serveH5647: and in the seventhH7637 he shall go outH3318 freeH2670 for nothingH2600.
If he came inH935 by himselfH1610, he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610: if he were marriedH1167+H802, then his wifeH802 shall go outH3318 with him. {by himself: Heb. with his body}
If his masterH113 have givenH5414 him a wifeH802, and she have bornH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323; the wifeH802 and her childrenH3206 shall be her master'sH113, and he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610.
And if the servantH5650 shall plainlyH559 sayH559, I loveH157 my masterH113, my wifeH802, and my childrenH1121; I will not go outH3318 freeH2670: {shall…: Heb. saying shall say}
Then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him unto the judgesH430; he shall also bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or unto the door postH4201; and his masterH113 shall boreH7527 his earH241 through with an aulH4836; and he shall serveH5647 him for everH5769.
And if a manH376 sellH4376 his daughterH1323 to be a maidservantH519, she shall not go outH3318 as the menservantsH5650 doH3318.
If she pleaseH7451+H5869 not her masterH113, who hath betrothedH3259 her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemedH6299: to sellH4376 her unto a strangeH5237 nationH5971 he shall have no powerH4910, seeing he hath dealt deceitfullyH898 with her. {please…: Heb. be evil in the eyes of, etc}
And if he have betrothedH3259 her unto his sonH1121, he shall dealH6213 with her after the mannerH4941 of daughtersH1323.
If he takeH3947 him anotherH312 wife; her foodH7607, her raimentH3682, and her duty of marriageH5772, shall he not diminishH1639.
And if he doH6213 not these threeH7969 unto her, then shall she go outH3318 freeH2600 without moneyH3701.
He that smitethH5221 a manH376, so that he dieH4191, shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191.
And if a man lie not in waitH6658, but GodH430 deliverH579 him into his handH3027; then I will appointH7760 thee a placeH4725 whither he shall fleeH5127.
But if a manH376 come presumptuouslyH2102 upon his neighbourH7453, to slayH2026 him with guileH6195; thou shalt takeH3947 him from mine altarH4196, that he may dieH4191.
And he that smitethH5221 his fatherH1, or his motherH517, shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191.
And he that stealethH1589 a manH376, and sellethH4376 him, or if he be foundH4672 in his handH3027, he shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
And he that cursethH7043 his fatherH1, or his motherH517, shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. {curseth: or, revileth}
And if menH582 striveH7378 together, and oneH376 smiteH5221 anotherH7453 with a stoneH68, orH176 with his fistH106, and he dieH4191 not, but keepethH5307 his bedH4904: {another: or, his neighbour}
If he rise againH6965, and walkH1980 abroadH2351 upon his staffH4938, then shall he that smoteH5221 him be quitH5352: only he shall payH5414 for the loss of his timeH7674, and shall cause him to be thoroughlyH7495 healedH7495. {the loss…: Heb. his ceasing}
And if a manH376 smiteH5221 his servantH5650, or his maidH519, with a rodH7626, and he dieH4191 under his handH3027; he shall be surelyH5358 punishedH5358. {punished: Heb. avenged}
NotwithstandingH389, if he continueH5975 a dayH3117 or twoH8147, he shall not be punishedH5358: for he is his moneyH3701.
If menH582 striveH5327, and hurtH5062 a womanH802 with childH2030, so that her fruitH3206 departH3318 from her, and yet no mischief followH611: he shall be surelyH6064 punishedH6064, according as the woman'sH802 husbandH1167 will layH7896 upon him; and he shall payH5414 as the judgesH6414 determine.
And if any mischief followH611, then thou shalt giveH5414 lifeH5315 for lifeH5315,
EyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127, handH3027 for handH3027, footH7272 for footH7272,
BurningH3555 for burningH3555, woundH6482 for woundH6482, stripeH2250 for stripeH2250.
And if a manH376 smiteH5221 the eyeH5869 of his servantH5650, or the eyeH5869 of his maidH519, that it perishH7843; he shall let him goH7971 freeH2670 forH8478 his eye'sH5869 sake.
And if he smiteH5307 out his manservant'sH5650 toothH8127, or his maidservant'sH519 toothH8127; he shall let him goH7971 freeH2670 for his tooth'sH8127 sake.
If an oxH7794 goreH5055 a manH376 or a womanH802, that they dieH4191: then the oxH7794 shall be surelyH5619 stonedH5619, and his fleshH1320 shall not be eatenH398; but the ownerH1167 of the oxH7794 shall be quitH5355.
But if the oxH7794 were wont to push with his hornH5056 in time pastH8543+H8032, and it hath been testifiedH5749 to his ownerH1167, and he hath not keptH8104 him in, but that he hath killedH4191 a manH376 or a womanH802; the oxH7794 shall be stonedH5619, and his ownerH1167 also shall be put to deathH4191.
If there be laidH7896 on him a sum of moneyH3724, then he shall giveH5414 for the ransomH6306 of his lifeH5315 whatsoever is laidH7896 upon him.
Whether he have goredH5055 a sonH1121, orH176 have goredH5055 a daughterH1323, according to this judgmentH4941 shall it be doneH6213 unto him.
If the oxH7794 shall pushH5055 a manservantH5650 or a maidservantH519; he shall giveH5414 unto their masterH113 thirtyH7970 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, and the oxH7794 shall be stonedH5619.
And if a manH376 shall openH6605 a pitH953, or if a manH376 shall digH3738 a pitH953, and not coverH3680 it, and an oxH7794 or an assH2543 fallH5307 therein;
The ownerH1167 of the pitH953 shall make it goodH7999, and giveH7725 moneyH3701 unto the ownerH1167 of them; and the deadH4191 beast shall be his.
And if one man'sH376 oxH7794 hurtH5062 another'sH7453, that he dieH4191; then they shall sellH4376 the liveH2416 oxH7794, and divideH2673 the moneyH3701 of it; and the deadH4191 ox also they shall divideH2673.
Or if it be knownH3045 that the oxH7794 hath used to pushH5056 in time pastH8543+H8032, and his ownerH1167 hath not keptH8104 him in; he shall surelyH7999 payH7999 oxH7794 for oxH7794; and the deadH4191 shall be his own.
And the angelH4397 of GodH430, which wentH1980 beforeH6440 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, removedH5265 and wentH3212 behindH310 them; and the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 wentH5265 from before their faceH6440, and stoodH5975 behindH310 them:
AndG2532 didG4095 allG3956 drinkG4095 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 drinkG4188: forG1063 they drankG4095 ofG1537 that spiritualG4152 RockG4073 that followed themG190: andG1161 that RockG4073 wasG2258 ChristG5547. {followed…: or, went with them}
And she calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 that spakeH1696 unto her, Thou GodH410 seest meH7210: for she saidH559, Have I also hereH1988 lookedH7200 after himH310 that seeth meH7210?
And when GideonH1439 perceivedH7200 that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, GideonH1439 saidH559, AlasH162, O LordH136 GODH3069! for becauseH3651 I have seenH7200 an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 faceH6440 to faceH6440.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, PeaceH7965 be unto thee; fearH3372 not: thou shalt not dieH4191.
Then GideonH1439 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 it JehovahshalomH3073: unto this dayH3117 it is yet in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33. {Jehovahshalom: that is, The LORD send peace}
And he saidH559, Nay; but as captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the LORDH3068 am I now comeH935. And JoshuaH3091 fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776, and did worshipH7812, and saidH559 unto him, What saithH1696 my lordH113 unto his servantH5650? {captain: or, prince}
AndG2532 I fellG4098 atG1715 hisG846 feetG4228 to worshipG4352 himG846. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto meG3427, SeeG3708 thou do it notG3361: I amG1510 thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, andG2532 of thyG4675 brethrenG80 that haveG2192 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424: worshipG4352 GodG2316: forG1063 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 isG2076 the spiritG4151 of prophecyG4394.
AndG2532 IG1473 JohnG2491 sawG991 these thingsG5023, andG2532 heardG191 them. AndG2532 whenG3753 I had heardG191 andG2532 seenG991, I fell downG4098 to worshipG4352 beforeG1715 the feetG4228 of the angelG32 whichG3588 shewedG1166 meG3427 these thingsG5023.
AndG2532 the fifthG3991 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 I sawG1492 a starG792 fallG4098 fromG1537 heavenG3772 untoG1519 the earthG1093: andG2532 to himG846 was givenG1325 the keyG2807 of the bottomlessG12 pitG5421.
AndG2532 he openedG455 the bottomlessG12 pitG5421; andG2532 there aroseG305 a smokeG2586 out ofG1537 the pitG5421, asG5613 the smokeG2586 of a greatG3173 furnaceG2575; andG2532 the sunG2246 andG2532 the airG109 were darkenedG4654 by reason ofG1537 the smokeG2586 of the pitG5421.
AndG2532 there cameG1831 out ofG1537 the smokeG2586 locustsG200 uponG1519 the earthG1093: andG2532 unto themG846 was givenG1325 powerG1849, asG5613 the scorpionsG4651 of the earthG1093 haveG2192 powerG1849.
AndG2532 it was commandedG4483 themG846 thatG3363 they shouldG91 notG3363 hurtG91 the grassG5528 of the earthG1093, neitherG3761 anyG3956 green thingG5515, neitherG3761 anyG3956 treeG1186; butG1508 onlyG3441 those menG444 whichG3748 haveG2192 notG3756 the sealG4973 of GodG2316 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359.
AndG2532 to themG846 it was givenG1325 thatG3363 they shouldG615 notG3363 killG615 themG846, butG235 thatG2443 they should be tormentedG928 fiveG4002 monthsG3376: andG2532 theirG846 tormentG929 was asG5613 the tormentG929 of a scorpionG4651, whenG3752 he strikethG3817 a manG444.
AndG2532 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 shall menG444 seekG2212 deathG2288, andG2532 shallG2147 notG3756 findG2147 itG846; andG2532 shall desireG1937 to dieG599, andG2532 deathG2288 shall fleeG5343 fromG575 themG846.
AndG2532 the shapesG3667 of the locustsG200 were likeG3664 unto horsesG2462 preparedG2090 untoG1519 battleG4171; andG2532 onG1909 theirG846 headsG2776 were as it wereG5613 crownsG4735 likeG3664 goldG5557, andG2532 theirG846 facesG4383 were asG5613 the facesG4383 of menG444.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 hairG2359 asG5613 the hairG2359 of womenG1135, andG2532 theirG846 teethG3599 wereG2258 asG5613 the teeth of lionsG3023.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 breastplatesG2382, as it wereG5613 breastplatesG2382 of ironG4603; andG2532 the soundG5456 of theirG846 wingsG4420 was asG5613 the soundG5456 of chariotsG716 of manyG4183 horsesG2462 runningG5143 toG1519 battleG4171.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 tailsG3769 likeG3664 unto scorpionsG4651, andG2532 there wereG2258 stingsG2759 inG1722 theirG846 tailsG3769: andG2532 theirG846 powerG1849 was to hurtG91 menG444 fiveG4002 monthsG3376.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 a kingG935 overG1909 themG848, which is the angelG32 of the bottomless pitG12, whoseG846 nameG3686 in the Hebrew tongueG1447 is AbaddonG3, butG2532 inG1722 the Greek tongueG1673 hathG2192 his nameG3686 ApollyonG623. {Apollyon: that is to say, A destroyer}
OneG3391 woeG3759 is pastG565; and, beholdG2400, there comeG2064 twoG1417 woesG3759 moreG2089 hereafterG3326+G5023.
AndG2532 the sixthG1623 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 I heardG191 aG3391 voiceG5456 fromG1537 the fourG5064 hornsG2768 of the goldenG5552 altarG2379 whichG3588 is beforeG1799 GodG2316,
SayingG3004 to the sixthG1623 angelG32 whichG3739 hadG2192 the trumpetG4536, LooseG3089 the fourG5064 angelsG32 whichG3588 are boundG1210 inG1909 the greatG3173 riverG4215 EuphratesG2166.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 angelsG32 were loosedG3089, whichG3588 were preparedG2090 forG1519 an hourG5610, andG2532 a dayG2250, andG2532 a monthG3376, andG2532 a yearG1763, for toG2443 slayG615 the third partG5154 of menG444. {for an hour: or, at an hour}
AndG2532 the numberG706 of the armyG4753 of the horsemenG2461 were two hundredG1417 thousandG3461 thousandG3461: andG2532 I heardG191 the numberG706 of themG846.
AndG2532 thusG3779 I sawG1492 the horsesG2462 inG1722 the visionG3706, andG2532 them that satG2521 onG1909 themG846, havingG2192 breastplatesG2382 of fireG4447, andG2532 of jacinthG5191, andG2532 brimstoneG2306: andG2532 the headsG2776 of the horsesG2462 were asG5613 the headsG2776 of lionsG3023; andG2532 out ofG1537 theirG846 mouthsG4750 issuedG1607 fireG4442 andG2532 smokeG2586 andG2532 brimstoneG2303.
ByG5259 theseG5130 threeG5140 wasG615 the third partG5154 of menG444 killedG615, byG1537 the fireG4442, andG2532 byG1537 the smokeG2586, andG2532 byG1537 the brimstoneG2303, whichG3588 issuedG1607 out ofG1537 theirG846 mouthsG4750.
ForG1063 theirG846 powerG1849 isG1526+G2076 inG1722 theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 inG1722 theirG846 tailsG3769: forG1063 theirG846 tailsG3769 were likeG3664 unto serpentsG3789, and hadG2192 headsG2776, andG2532 withG1722 themG846 they do hurtG91.
AndG2532 the restG3062 of the menG444 whichG3739 wereG615 notG3756 killedG615 byG1722 theseG5025 plaguesG4127 yetG3777 repentedG3340 notG3777 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of theirG846 handsG5495, thatG3363 they shouldG4352 notG3363 worshipG4352 devilsG1140, andG2532 idolsG1497 of goldG5552, andG2532 silverG693, andG2532 brassG5470, andG2532 stoneG3035, andG2532 of woodG3585: whichG3739 neitherG3777 canG1410 seeG991, norG3777 hearG191, norG3777 walkG4043:
NeitherG2532+G3756 repented theyG3340 ofG1537 theirG846 murdersG5408, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 sorceriesG5331, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 fornicationG4202, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 theftsG2809.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 found herH4672 by a fountainH5869 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the fountainH5869 in the wayH1870 to ShurH7793.
The firstG3391 day of the weekG4521 comethG2064 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 earlyG4404, when it wasG5607 yetG2089 darkG4653, untoG1519 the sepulchreG3419, andG2532 seethG991 the stoneG3037 taken awayG142 fromG1537 the sepulchreG3419.
ThenG3767 she runnethG5143, andG2532 comethG2064 toG4314 SimonG4613 PeterG4074, andG2532 toG4314 the otherG243 discipleG3101, whomG3739 JesusG2424 lovedG5368, andG2532 saithG3004 unto themG846, They have taken awayG142 the LordG2962 out ofG1537 the sepulchreG3419, andG2532 we knowG1492 notG3756 whereG4226 they have laidG5087 himG846.
PeterG4074 thereforeG3767 went forthG1831, andG2532 that otherG243 discipleG3101, andG2532 cameG2064 toG1519 the sepulchreG3419.
SoG1161 they ranG5143 bothG1417 togetherG3674: andG2532 the otherG243 discipleG3101 did outrunG4390+G5032 PeterG4074, andG2532 cameG2064 firstG4413 toG1519 the sepulchreG3419.
AndG2532 he stooping downG3879, and looking in, sawG991 the linen clothesG3608 lyingG2749; yetG3305 went heG1525 notG3756 inG1525.
ThenG3767 comethG2064 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 followingG190 himG846, andG2532 wentG1525 intoG1519 the sepulchreG3419, andG2532 seethG2334 the linen clothesG3608 lieG2749,
AndG2532 the napkinG4676, thatG3739 wasG2258 aboutG1909 hisG846 headG2776, notG3756 lyingG2749 withG3326 the linen clothesG3608, butG235 wrapped togetherG1794 inG1519 a placeG5117 by itselfG1520+G5565.
ThenG5119+G3767 went inG1525 alsoG2532 that otherG243 discipleG3101, whichG3588 cameG2064 firstG4413 toG1519 the sepulchreG3419, andG2532 he sawG1492, andG2532 believedG4100.
ForG1063 as yetG3764 they knewG1492 notG3764 the scriptureG1124, thatG3754 heG846 mustG1163 rise againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
ThenG3767 the disciplesG3101 went awayG565 againG3825 untoG4314 their own homeG1438.
ButG1161 MaryG3137 stoodG2476 withoutG1854 atG4314 the sepulchreG3419 weepingG2799: andG3767 asG5613 she weptG2799, she stooped downG3879, and looked intoG1519 the sepulchreG3419,
AndG2532 seethG2334 twoG1417 angelsG32 inG1722 whiteG3022 sittingG2516, the oneG1520 atG4314 the headG2776, andG2532 the otherG1520 atG4314 the feetG4228, whereG3699 the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 had lainG2749.
AndG2532 theyG1565 sayG3004 unto herG846, WomanG1135, whyG5101 weepest thouG2799? She saithG3004 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 they have taken awayG142 myG3450 LordG2962, andG2532 I knowG1492 notG3756 whereG4226 they have laidG5087 himG846.
AndG2532 when she hadG2036 thusG5023 saidG2036, she turnedG4762 herselfG1519 backG3694, andG2532 sawG2334 JesusG2424 standingG2476, andG2532 knewG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG2076 JesusG2424.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, WomanG1135, whyG5101 weepest thouG2799? whomG5101 seekest thouG2212? SheG1565, supposingG1380+G3754 him to beG2076 the gardenerG2780, saithG3004 unto himG846, SirG2962, ifG1487 thouG4771 have borneG941 himG846 henceG941, tellG2036 meG3427 whereG4226 thou hast laidG5087 himG846, and IG2504 will takeG142 himG846 awayG142.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, MaryG3137. SheG1565 turnedG4762 herself, and saithG3004 unto himG846, RabboniG4462; whichG3739 is to sayG3004, MasterG1320.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, TouchG680 meG3450 notG3361; forG1063 I amG305 not yetG3768 ascendedG305 toG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962: butG1161 goG4198 toG4314 myG3450 brethrenG80, andG2532 sayG2036 unto themG846, I ascendG305 untoG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 yourG5216 FatherG3962; andG2532 to myG3450 GodG2316, andG2532 yourG5216 GodG2316.
MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 cameG2064 and toldG518 the disciplesG3101 thatG3754 she had seenG3708 the LordG2962, andG2532 that he had spokenG2036 these thingsG5023 unto herG846.
NowG1161 when Jesus was risenG450 earlyG4404 the firstG4413 day of the weekG4521, he appearedG5316 firstG4412 to MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, out ofG575 whomG3739 he had castG1544 sevenG2033 devilsG1140.
BlessedG3107 are the poorG4434 in spiritG4151: forG3754 theirsG846 isG2076 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
The blindG5185 receive their sightG308, andG2532 the lameG5560 walkG4043, the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511, andG2532 the deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raised upG1453, andG2532 the poorG4434 have the gospel preached to themG2097.
WhereforeG3606, holyG40 brethrenG80, partakersG3353 of the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 the ApostleG652 andG2532 High PriestG749 of ourG2257 professionG3671, ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
BeholdG2396, IG1473 PaulG3972 sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 ifG1437 ye be circumcisedG4059, ChristG5547 shall profitG5623 youG5209 nothingG3762.
ForG1161 I testifyG3143 againG3825 to everyG3956 manG444 that is circumcisedG4059, thatG3754 he isG2076 a debtorG3781 to doG4160 the wholeG3650 lawG3551.
ChristG5547 is become of no effect unto youG575+G2673, whosoever of youG3748 are justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551; ye are fallen fromG1601 graceG5485.
ForG1063 weG2249 through the SpiritG4151 wait forG553 the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343 byG1537 faithG4102.
ForG1063 inG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 neitherG3777 circumcisionG4061 availethG2480 any thingG5100, norG3777 uncircumcisionG203; butG235 faithG4102 which workethG1754 byG1223 loveG26.
Ye did runG5143 wellG2573; whoG5101 did hinderG348+G1465 youG5209 that ye shouldG3982 notG3361 obeyG3982 the truthG225? {hinder you: or, drive you back}
This persuasionG3988 cometh notG3756 ofG1537 him that callethG2564 youG5209.
A littleG3398 leavenG2219 leavenethG2220 the wholeG3650 lumpG5445.
IG1473 have confidenceG3982 inG1519 youG5209 throughG1722 the LordG2962, thatG3754 ye will beG5426 noneG3762 otherwiseG243 mindedG5426: butG1161 he that troublethG5015 youG5209 shall bearG941 his judgmentG2917, whosoeverG3748 he beG302+G5600.
AndG1161 IG1473, brethrenG80, ifG1487 IG2784 yetG2089 preachG2784 circumcisionG4061, whyG5101 do IG1377 yetG2089 suffer persecutionG1377? thenG686 isG2673 the offenceG4625 of the crossG4716 ceasedG2673.
I wouldG3785 they wereG609 evenG2532 cut offG609 which troubleG387 youG5209.
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 ye are circumcisedG4059 with the circumcisionG4061 made without handsG886, inG1722 putting offG555 the bodyG4983 of the sinsG266 of the fleshG4561 byG1722 the circumcisionG4061 of ChristG5547:
God forbidG3361+G1096. HowG4459 shall we, thatG3748 are deadG599 to sinG266, liveG2198 any longerG2089 thereinG1722+G846?
Know ye notG50, that soG3754 many of usG3745 as were baptizedG907 intoG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 were baptizedG907 intoG1519 hisG846 deathG2288? {were: or, are} {were: or, are}
ThereforeG3767 we are buried withG4916 himG846 byG1223 baptismG908 intoG1519 deathG2288: thatG2443 like asG5618 ChristG5547 was raised upG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 byG1223 the gloryG1391 of the FatherG3962, even soG3779 weG2249 alsoG2532 should walkG4043 inG1722 newnessG2538 of lifeG2222.
