Genesis 11:1--13:18

11:1

And the whole earth
<0776>

was of one
<0259>

language
<08193>_,

and of one
<0259>

speech
<01697>_.

{language: Heb. lip.} {speech: Heb. words}

11:2

And it came to pass, as they journeyed
<05265> (8800)

from the east
<06924>_,

that they found
<04672> (8799)

a plain
<01237>

in the land
<0776>

of Shinar
<08152>_;

and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)

there. {from...: or, eastward}

11:3

And they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

Go to
<03051> (8798)_,

let us make
<03835> (8799)

brick
<03843>_,

and burn
<08313> (8799)

them throughly
<08316>_.

And they had brick
<03843>

for stone
<068>_,

and slime
<02564>

had
<01961> (8804)

they for morter
<02563>_.

{they said...: Heb. a man said to his neighbour} {burn...: Heb. burn them to a burning}

11:4

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go to
<03051> (8798)_,

let us build
<01129> (8799)

us a city
<05892>

and a tower
<04026>_,

whose top
<07218>

[may reach] unto heaven
<08064>_;

and let us make
<06213> (8799)

us a name
<08034>_,

lest we be scattered abroad
<06327> (8799)

upon the face
<06440>

of the whole earth
<0776>_.

11:5

And the LORD
<03068>

came down
<03381> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8800)

the city
<05892>

and the tower
<04026>_,

which the children
<01121>

of men
<0120>

builded
<01129> (8804)_.

11:6

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, the people
<05971>

[is] one
<0259>_,

and they have all one
<0259>

language
<08193>_;

and this they begin
<02490> (8687)

to do
<06213> (8800)_:

and now nothing
<03808> <03605>

will be restrained
<01219> (8735)

from them, which they have imagined
<02161> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)_.

11:7

Go to
<03051> (8798)_,

let us go down
<03381> (8799)_,

and there confound
<01101> (8799)

their language
<08193>_,

that
<0834>

they may not understand
<08085> (8799)

one
<0376>

another's
<07453>

speech
<08193>_.

11:8

So the LORD
<03068>

scattered them abroad
<06327> (8686)

from thence
<08033>

upon the face
<06440>

of all the earth
<0776>_:

and they left off
<02308> (8799)

to build
<01129> (8800)

the city
<05892>_.

11:9

Therefore is the name of it
<08034>

called
<07121> (8804)

Babel
<0894>_;

because the LORD
<03068>

did there confound
<01101> (8804)

the language
<08193>

of all the earth
<0776>_:

and from thence did
<06327> (0)

the LORD
<03068>

scatter them abroad
<06327> (8689)

upon the face
<06440>

of all the earth
<0776>_.

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

to go
<03212> (8800)

into the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

and they came
<0935> (8799)

unto Haran
<02771>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

there.

11:32

And the days
<03117>

of Terah
<08646>

were two hundred
<03967> <08141>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>_:

and Terah
<08646>

died
<04191> (8799)

in Haran
<02771>_.

12:1

Now the LORD
<03068>

had said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Get thee out
<03212> (8798)

of thy country
<0776>_,

and from thy kindred
<04138>_,

and from thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

unto a land
<0776>

that I will shew
<07200> (8686)

thee:

12:2

And I will make of thee
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>_,

and I will bless
<01288> (8762)

thee, and make
<01431> (0)

thy name
<08034>

great
<01431> (8762)_;

and thou shalt be a blessing
<01293>_:

12:3

And I will bless
<01288> (8762)

them that bless
<01288> (8764)

thee, and curse
<0779> (8799)

him that curseth
<07043> (8764)

thee: and in thee shall all families
<04940>

of the earth
<0127>

be blessed
<01288> (8738)_.

12:4

So Abram
<087>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

as the LORD
<03068>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto him; and Lot
<03876>

went
<03212> (8799)

with him: and Abram
<087>

[was] seventy
<07657> <08141>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he departed
<03318> (8800)

out of Haran
<02771>_.

12:5

And Abram
<087>

took
<03947> (8799)

Sarai
<08297>

his wife
<0802>_,

and Lot
<03876>

his brother's
<0251>

son
<01121>_,

and all their substance
<07399>

that they had gathered
<07408> (8804)_,

and the souls
<05315>

that they had gotten
<06213> (8804)

in Haran
<02771>_;

and they went forth
<03318> (8799)

to go
<03212> (8800)

into the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

and into the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>

they came
<0935> (8799)_.

12:6

And Abram
<087>

passed through
<05674> (8799)

the land
<0776>

unto the place
<04725>

of Sichem
<07927>_,

unto the plain
<0436>

of Moreh
<04176>_.

And the Canaanite
<03669>

[was] then
<0227>

in the land
<0776>_.

{plain: Heb. plains}

12:7

And the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto Abram
<087>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Unto thy seed
<02233>

will I give
<05414> (8799)

this
<02063>

land
<0776>_:

and there builded
<01129> (8799)

he an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

who appeared
<07200> (8737)

unto him.

12:8

And he removed
<06275> (8686)

from thence unto a mountain
<02022>

on the east
<06924>

of Bethel
<01008>_,

and pitched
<05186> (8799)

his tent
<0168>_,

[having] Bethel
<01008>

on the west
<03220>_,

and Hai
<05857>

on the east
<06924>_:

and there he builded
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

upon the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

12:9

And Abram
<087>

journeyed
<05265> (8799)_,

going on
<01980> (8800)

still
<05265> (8800)

toward the south
<05045>_.

{going...: Heb. in going and journeying}

12:10

And there was a famine
<07458>

in the land
<0776>_:

and Abram
<087>

went down
<03381> (8799)

into Egypt
<04714>

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)

there; for the famine
<07458>

[was] grievous
<03515>

in the land
<0776>_.

12:11

And it came to pass, when
<0834>

he was come near
<07126> (8689)

to enter
<0935> (8800)

into Egypt
<04714>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Sarai
<08297>

his wife
<0802>_,

Behold
<02009>

now
<04994>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou [art] a fair
<03303>

woman
<0802>

to look upon
<04758>_:

12:12

Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians
<04713>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

thee, that they shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

This [is] his wife
<0802>_:

and they will kill
<02026> (8804)

me, but they will save thee alive
<02421> (8762)_.

12:13

Say
<0559> (8798)_,

I pray thee
<04994>_,

thou [art] my sister
<0269>_:

that
<04616>

it may be well
<03190> (8799)

with me for thy sake; and my soul
<05315>

shall live
<02421> (8804)

because of thee
<01558>_.

12:14

And it came to pass, that, when Abram
<087>

was come
<0935> (8800)

into Egypt
<04714>_,

the Egyptians
<04713>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

the woman
<0802>

that she [was] very
<03966>

fair
<03303>_.

12:15

The princes
<08269>

also of Pharaoh
<06547>

saw
<07200> (8799)

her, and commended
<01984> (8762)

her before
<0413>

Pharaoh
<06547>_:

and the woman
<0802>

was taken
<03947> (8714)

into Pharaoh's
<06547>

house
<01004>_.

12:16

And he entreated
<03190> (0)

Abram
<087>

well
<03190> (8689)

for her sake: and he had sheep
<06629>_,

and oxen
<01241>_,

and he asses
<02543>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and maidservants
<08198>_,

and she asses
<0860>_,

and camels
<01581>_.

12:17

And the LORD
<03068>

plagued
<05060> (8762)

Pharaoh
<06547>

and his house
<01004>

with great
<01419>

plagues
<05061>

because of
<01697>

Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>_.

12:18

And Pharaoh
<06547>

called
<07121> (8799)

Abram
<087>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] this [that] thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto me? why didst thou not tell
<05046> (8689)

me that she [was] thy wife
<0802>_?

12:19

Why saidst thou
<0559> (8804)_,

She [is] my sister
<0269>_?

so I might have taken
<03947> (8799)

her to me to wife
<0802>_:

now therefore behold thy wife
<0802>_,

take
<03947> (8798)

[her], and go thy way
<03212> (8798)_.

12:20

And Pharaoh
<06547>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

[his] men
<0582>

concerning him: and they sent him away
<07971> (8762)_,

and his wife
<0802>_,

and all that he had.

13:1

And Abram
<087>

went up
<05927> (8799)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

he, and his wife
<0802>_,

and all that he had, and Lot
<03876>

with him, into the south
<05045>_.

13:2

And Abram
<087>

[was] very
<03966>

rich
<03513> (8804)

in cattle
<04735>_,

in silver
<03701>_,

and in gold
<02091>_.

13:3

And he went
<03212> (8799)

on his journeys
<04550>

from the south
<05045>

even to Bethel
<01008>_,

unto the place
<04725>

where his tent
<0168>

had been
<01961> (8804)

at the beginning
<08462>_,

between Bethel
<01008>

and Hai
<05857>_;

13:4

Unto the place
<04725>

of the altar
<04196>_,

which he had made
<06213> (8804)

there at the first
<07223>_:

and there Abram
<087>

called
<07121> (8799)

on the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

13:5

And Lot
<03876>

also, which went
<01980> (8802)

with
<0854>

Abram
<087>_,

had flocks
<06629>_,

and herds
<01241>_,

and tents
<0168>_.

13:6

And the land
<0776>

was not able to bear
<05375> (8804)

them, that they might dwell
<03427> (8800)

together
<03162>_:

for their substance
<07399>

was great
<07227>_,

so that they could
<03201> (8804)

not dwell
<03427> (8800)

together
<03162>_.

13:7

And there was a strife
<07379>

between the herdmen
<07462> (8802)

of Abram's
<087>

cattle
<04735>

and the herdmen
<07462> (8802)

of Lot's
<03876>

cattle
<04735>_:

and the Canaanite
<03669>

and the Perizzite
<06522>

dwelled
<03427> (8802)

then in the land
<0776>_.

13:8

And Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Lot
<03876>_,

Let there be
<01961> (8799)

no
<0408>

strife
<04808>_,

I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen
<07462> (8802)

and thy herdmen
<07462> (8802)_;

for we
<0582>

[be] brethren
<0251>_.

{brethren: Heb. men brethren}

13:9

[Is] not the whole land
<0776>

before thee
<06440>_?

separate thyself
<06504> (8734)_,

I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand
<08040>_,

then I will go to the right
<03231> (8686)_;

or if [thou depart] to the right hand
<03225>_,

then I will go to the left
<08041> (8686)_.

13:10

And Lot
<03876>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and beheld
<07200> (8799)

all the plain
<03603>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

that it [was] well watered
<04945>

every where, before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

destroyed
<07843> (8763)

Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>_,

[even] as the garden
<01588>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

like the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

as thou comest
<0935> (8800)

unto Zoar
<06820>_.

13:11

Then Lot
<03876>

chose
<0977> (8799)

him all the plain
<03603>

of Jordan
<03383>_;

and Lot
<03876>

journeyed
<05265> (8799)

east
<06924>_:

and they separated themselves
<06504> (8735)

the one
<0376>

from the other
<0251>_.

13:12

Abram
<087>

dwelled
<03427> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and Lot
<03876>

dwelled
<03427> (8804)

in the cities
<05892>

of the plain
<03603>_,

and pitched [his] tent
<0167> (8799)

toward
<05704>

Sodom
<05467>_.

13:13

But the men
<0582>

of Sodom
<05467>

[were] wicked
<07451>

and sinners
<02400>

before the LORD
<03068>

exceedingly
<03966>_.

13:14

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto Abram
<087>_,

after
<0310>

that Lot
<03876>

was separated
<06504> (8736)

from him, Lift up
<05375> (8798)

now thine eyes
<05869>_,

and look
<07200> (8798)

from the place
<04725>

where thou art northward
<06828>_,

and southward
<05045>_,

and eastward
<06924>_,

and westward
<03220>_:

13:15

For all the land
<0776>

which thou seest
<07200> (8802)_,

to thee will I give it
<05414> (8799)_,

and to thy seed
<02233>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

13:16

And I will make
<07760> (8804)

thy seed
<02233>

as the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>_:

so that
<0834>

if a man
<0376>

can
<03201> (8799)

number
<04487> (8800)

the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>_,

[then] shall thy seed
<02233>

also be numbered
<04487> (8735)_.

13:17

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

walk
<01980> (8690)

through the land
<0776>

in the length
<0753>

of it and in the breadth
<07341>

of it; for I will give
<05414> (8799)

it unto thee.

13:18

Then Abram
<087>

removed [his] tent
<0167> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the plain
<0436>

of Mamre
<04471>_,

which [is] in Hebron
<02275>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

there an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.
