Genesis 12:1--14:24

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>_.

{plain: Heb. plains}

14:1

And it came to pass in the days
<03117>

of Amraphel
<0569>

king
<04428>

of Shinar
<08152>_,

Arioch
<0746>

king
<04428>

of Ellasar
<0495>_,

Chedorlaomer
<03540>

king
<04428>

of Elam
<05867>_,

and Tidal
<08413>

king
<04428>

of nations
<01471>_;

14:2

[That these] made
<06213> (8804)

war
<04421>

with
<0854>

Bera
<01298>

king
<04428>

of Sodom
<05467>_,

and with Birsha
<01306>

king
<04428>

of Gomorrah
<06017>_,

Shinab
<08134>

king
<04428>

of Admah
<0126>_,

and Shemeber
<08038>

king
<04428>

of Zeboiim
<06636>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Bela
<01106>_,

which is
<01931>

Zoar
<06820>_.

14:3

All these were joined together
<02266> (8804)

in the vale
<06010>

of Siddim
<07708>_,

which
<01931>

is the salt
<04417>

sea
<03220>_.

14:4

Twelve
<06240> <08147>

years
<08141>

they served
<05647> (8804) <0853>

Chedorlaomer
<03540>_,

and in the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

year
<08141>

they rebelled
<04775> (8804)_.

14:5

And in the fourteenth
<06240> <0702>

year
<08141>

came
<0935> (8804)

Chedorlaomer
<03540>_,

and the kings
<04428>

that [were] with him, and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Rephaims
<07497>

in Ashteroth Karnaim
<06255>_,

and the Zuzims
<02104>

in Ham
<01990>_,

and the Emims
<0368>

in Shaveh Kiriathaim
<07741>_,

{Shaveh...: or, The plain of Kiriathaim}

14:6

And the Horites
<02752>

in their mount
<02042>

Seir
<08165>_,

unto Elparan
<0364>_,

which [is] by
<05921>

the wilderness
<04057>_.

{Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}

14:7

And they returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to
<0413>

Enmishpat
<05880>_,

which [is] Kadesh
<06946>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

all the country
<07704>

of the Amalekites
<06003>_,

and also the Amorites
<0567>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Hazezontamar
<02688>_.

14:8

And there went out
<03318> (8799)

the king
<04428>

of Sodom
<05467>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Gomorrah
<06017>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Admah
<0126>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Zeboiim
<06636>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Bela
<01106>

(the same
<01931>

[is] Zoar
<06820>;)

and they joined
<06186> (8799)

battle
<04421>

with them in the vale
<06010>

of Siddim
<07708>_;

14:9

With Chedorlaomer
<03540>

the king
<04428>

of Elam
<05867>_,

and with Tidal
<08413>

king
<04428>

of nations
<01471>_,

and Amraphel
<0569>

king
<04428>

of Shinar
<08152>_,

and Arioch
<0746>

king
<04428>

of Ellasar
<0495>_;

four
<0702>

kings
<04428>

with five
<02568>_.

14:10

And the vale
<06010>

of Siddim
<07708>

[was full of]
<0875>

slimepits
<0875> <02564>_;

and the kings
<04428>

of Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>

fled
<05127> (8799)_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

there; and they that remained
<07604> (8737)

fled
<05127> (8804)

to the mountain
<02022>_.

14:11

And they took
<03947> (8799)

all the goods
<07399>

of Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>_,

and all their victuals
<0400>_,

and went their way
<03212> (8799)_.

14:12

And they took
<03947> (8799)

Lot
<03876>_,

Abram's
<087>

brother's
<0251>

son
<01121>_,

who dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Sodom
<05467>_,

and his goods
<07399>_,

and departed
<03212> (8799)_.

14:13

And there came
<0935> (8799)

one that had escaped
<06412>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

Abram
<087>

the Hebrew
<05680>_;

for he dwelt
<07931> (8802)

in the plain
<0436>

of Mamre
<04471>

the Amorite
<0567>_,

brother
<0251>

<0812>_,

and brother
<0251>

<06063>_:

and these [were] confederate
<01167> <01285>

with Abram
<087>_.

{plain: Heb. plains}

14:14

And when Abram
<087>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that his brother
<0251>

was taken captive
<07617> (8738)_,

he armed
<07324> (8686)

his trained
<02593>

[servants], born
<03211>

in his own house
<01004>_,

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

and eighteen
<06240> <08083>_,

and pursued
<07291> (8799)

[them] unto Dan
<01835>_.

{armed: or, led forth} {trained: or, instructed}

14:15

And he divided
<02505> (8735)

himself against them, he and his servants
<05650>_,

by night
<03915>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

them, and pursued
<07291> (8799)

them unto Hobah
<02327>_,

which [is] on the left hand
<08040>

of Damascus
<01834>_.

14:16

And he brought back
<07725> (8686)

all the goods
<07399>_,

and also brought again
<07725> (8689)

his brother
<0251>

Lot
<03876>_,

and his goods
<07399>_,

and the women
<0802>

also, and the people
<05971>_.

14:17

And the king
<04428>

of Sodom
<05467>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him after
<0310>

his return
<07725> (8800)

from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)

of Chedorlaomer
<03540>_,

and of the kings
<04428>

that [were] with him, at the valley
<06010>

of Shaveh
<07740>_,

which
<01931>

[is] the king's
<04428>

dale
<06010>_.

14:18

And Melchizedek
<04442>

king
<04428>

of Salem
<08004>

brought forth
<03318> (8689)

bread
<03899>

and wine
<03196>_:

and he [was] the priest
<03548>

of the most high
<05945>

God
<0410>_.

14:19

And he blessed
<01288> (8762)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] Abram
<087>

of the most high
<05945>

God
<0410>_,

possessor
<07069> (8802)

of heaven
<08064>

and earth
<0776>_:

14:20

And blessed
<01288> (8803)

be the most high
<05945>

God
<0410>_,

which hath delivered
<04042> (8765)

thine enemies
<06862>

into thy hand
<03027>_.

And he gave
<05414> (8799)

him tithes
<04643>

of all.

14:21

And the king
<04428>

of Sodom
<05467>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

me the persons
<05315>_,

and take
<03947> (8798)

the goods
<07399>

to thyself. {persons: Heb. souls}

14:22

And Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Sodom
<05467>_,

I have lift up
<07311> (8689)

mine hand
<03027>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

the most high
<05945>

God
<0410>_,

the possessor
<07069> (8802)

of heaven
<08064>

and earth
<0776>_,

14:23

That I will not
<0518>

[take] from a thread
<02339>

even to a shoelatchet
<05275> <08288>_,

and that I will not
<0518>

take
<03947> (8799)

any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say
<0559> (8799)_,

I have made
<06238> (0)

Abram
<087>

rich
<06238> (8689)_:

14:24

Save
<01107>

only that which
<0834>

the young men
<05288>

have eaten
<0398> (8804)_,

and the portion
<02506>

of the men
<0582>

which went
<01980> (8804)

with
<0854>

me, Aner
<06063>_,

Eshcol
<0812>_,

and Mamre
<04471>_;

let them
<01992>

take
<03947> (8799)

their portion
<02506>_.
