Genesis 15:1--19:38

15:1

After
<0310>

these things
<01697>

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<01961> (8804)

unto Abram
<087>

in a vision
<04236>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not, Abram
<087>_:

I [am] thy shield
<04043>_,

[and] thy exceeding
<03966>

great
<07235> (8687)

reward
<07939>_.

15:2

And Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

what wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)

me, seeing I go
<01980> (8802)

childless
<06185>_,

and the steward
<01121> <04943>

of my house
<01004>

[is] this
<01931>

Eliezer
<0461>

of Damascus
<01834>_?

15:3

And Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, to me thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

no
<03808>

seed
<02233>_:

and, lo, one born
<01121>

in my house
<01004>

is mine heir
<03423> (8802)_.

15:4

And, behold, the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

[came] unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This shall not be thine heir
<03423> (8799)_;

but he that shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

out of thine own bowels
<04578>

shall be thine heir
<03423> (8799)_.

15:5

And he brought him forth
<03318> (8686)

abroad
<02351>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Look
<05027> (8685)

now toward heaven
<08064>_,

and tell
<05608> (8798)

the stars
<03556>_,

if thou be able
<03201> (8799)

to number
<05608> (8800)

them: and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, So
<03541>

shall thy seed
<02233>

be.

15:6

And he believed
<0539> (8689)

in the LORD
<03068>_;

and he counted
<02803> (8799)

it to him for righteousness
<06666>_.

15:7

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] the LORD
<03068>

that brought thee out
<03318> (8689)

of Ur
<0218>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

thee this land
<0776>

to inherit
<03423> (8800)

it.

15:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

whereby
<04100>

shall I know
<03045> (8799)

that I shall inherit it
<03423> (8799)_?

15:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

me an heifer
<05697>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a she goat
<05795>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a ram
<0352>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a turtledove
<08449>_,

and a young pigeon
<01469>_.

15:10

And he took
<03947> (8799)

unto him all these, and divided
<01334> (8762)

them in the midst
<08432>_,

and laid
<05414> (8799)

each
<0376>

piece
<01335>

one against
<07125> (8800)

another
<07453>_:

but the birds
<06833>

divided
<01334> (8804)

he not.

15:11

And when the fowls
<05861>

came down
<03381> (8799)

upon the carcases
<06297>_,

Abram
<087>

drove them away
<05380> (8686)_.

15:12

And when the sun
<08121>

was going down
<0935> (8800)_,

a deep sleep
<08639>

fell
<05307> (8804)

upon Abram
<087>_;

and, lo, an horror
<0367>

of great
<01419>

darkness
<02825>

fell
<05307> (8802)

upon him.

15:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Know
<03045> (8799)

of a surety
<03045> (8800)

that thy seed
<02233>

shall be a stranger
<01616>

in a land
<0776>

[that is] not theirs, and shall serve
<05647> (8804)

them; and they shall afflict
<06031> (8765)

them four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>_;

15:14

And also that nation
<01471>_,

whom they shall serve
<05647> (8799)_,

will I judge
<01777> (8802)_:

and afterward
<0310> <03651>

shall they come out
<03318> (8799)

with great
<01419>

substance
<07399>_.

15:15

And thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)

to thy fathers
<01>

in peace
<07965>_;

thou shalt be buried
<06912> (8735)

in a good
<02896>

old age
<07872>_.

15:16

But in the fourth
<07243>

generation
<01755>

they shall come hither
<02008>

again
<07725> (8799)_:

for the iniquity
<05771>

of the Amorites
<0567>

[is] not yet
<02008>

full
<08003>_.

15:17

And it came to pass, that, when the sun
<08121>

went down
<0935> (8804)_,

and it was dark
<05939>_,

behold a smoking
<06227>

furnace
<08574>_,

and a burning
<0784>

lamp
<03940>

that passed
<05674> (8804)

between
<0996>

those pieces
<01506>_.

{a burning...: Heb. a lamp of fire}

15:18

In the same
<01931>

day
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

made
<03772> (8804)

a covenant
<01285>

with Abram
<087>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Unto thy seed
<02233>

have I given
<05414> (8804)

this land
<0776>_,

from the river
<05104>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto the great
<01419>

river
<05104>_,

the river
<05104>

Euphrates
<06578>_:

15:19

The Kenites
<07017>_,

and the Kenizzites
<07074>_,

and the Kadmonites
<06935>_,

15:20

And the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Rephaims
<07497>_,

15:21

And the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Girgashites
<01622>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_.

16:1

Now Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (0)

him no
<03808>

children
<03205> (8804)_:

and she had an handmaid
<08198>_,

an Egyptian
<04713>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Hagar
<01904>_.

16:2

And Sarai
<08297>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Behold now, the LORD
<03068>

hath restrained me
<06113> (8804)

from bearing
<03205> (8800)_:

I pray thee, go in
<0935> (8798)

unto my maid
<08198>_;

it may
<0194>

be that I may obtain children
<01129> (8735)

by her. And Abram
<087>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of Sarai
<08297>_.

{obtain...: Heb. be built by her}

16:3

And Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>

took
<03947> (8799)

Hagar
<01904>

her maid
<08198>

the Egyptian
<04713>_,

after
<07093>

Abram
<087>

had dwelt
<03427> (8800)

ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

her to her husband
<0376>

Abram
<087>

to be his wife
<0802>_.

16:4

And he went in
<0935> (8799)

unto Hagar
<01904>_,

and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_:

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,

her mistress
<01404>

was despised
<07043> (8799)

in her eyes
<05869>_.

16:5

And Sarai
<08297>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

My wrong
<02555>

[be] upon thee: I have given
<05414> (8804)

my maid
<08198>

into thy bosom
<02436>_;

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,

I was despised
<07043> (8799)

in her eyes
<05869>_:

the LORD
<03068>

judge
<08199> (8799)

between me and thee.

16:6

But Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Sarai
<08297>_,

Behold, thy maid
<08198>

[is] in thy hand
<03027>_;

do
<06213> (8798)

to her as it pleaseth thee
<02896> <05869>_.

And when Sarai
<08297>

dealt hardly with
<06031> (8762)

her, she fled
<01272> (8799)

from her face
<06440>_.

{as...: Heb. that which is good in thine eyes} {dealt...: Heb. afflicted her}

16:7

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

found her
<04672> (8799)

by a fountain
<05869>

of water
<04325>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

by the fountain
<05869>

in the way
<01870>

to Shur
<07793>_.

16:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hagar
<01904>_,

Sarai's
<08297>

maid
<08198>_,

whence
<0335>

camest thou
<0935> (8804)_?

and whither wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)_?

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I flee
<01272> (8802)

from the face
<06440>

of my mistress
<01404>

Sarai
<08297>_.

16:9

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Return
<07725> (8798)

to thy mistress
<01404>_,

and submit
<06031> (8690)

thyself under her hands
<03027>_.

16:10

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, I will multiply
<07235> (8686)

thy seed
<02233>

exceedingly
<07235> (8687)_,

that it shall not be numbered
<05608> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

16:11

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Behold
<02009>_,

thou [art] with child
<02030>_,

and shalt bear
<03205> (8802)

a son
<01121>_,

and shalt call
<07121> (8804)

his name
<08034>

Ishmael
<03458>_;

because the LORD
<03068>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)

thy affliction
<06040>_.

{Ishmael: that is, God shall hear}

16:12

And he will be a wild
<06501>

man
<0120>_;

his hand
<03027>

[will be] against every man, and every man's hand
<03027>

against him; and he shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

in the presence
<06440>

of all his brethren
<0251>_.

16:13

And she called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

that spake
<01696> (8802)

unto her, Thou God
<0410>

seest me
<07210>_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Have I also here
<01988>

looked
<07200> (8804)

after him
<0310>

that seeth me
<07210>_?

16:14

Wherefore the well
<0875>

was called
<07121> (8804)

Beerlahairoi
<0883> <02416>_;

behold, [it is] between Kadesh
<06946>

and Bered
<01260>_.

{Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}

16:15

And Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Abram
<087>

a son
<01121>_:

and Abram
<087>

called
<07121> (8799)

his son's
<01121>

name
<08034>_,

which Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8804)_,

Ishmael
<03458>_.

16:16

And Abram
<087>

[was] fourscore
<08084> <08141>

and six
<08337>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

when Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8800)

Ishmael
<03458>

to Abram
<087>_.

17:1

And when Abram
<087>

was ninety
<08673> <08141>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

and nine
<08672>_,

the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

to Abram
<087>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] the Almighty
<07706>

God
<0410>_;

walk
<01980> (8690)

before me
<06440>_,

and be thou perfect
<08549>_.

{perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}

17:2

And I will make
<05414> (8799)

my covenant
<01285>

between me and thee, and will multiply
<07235> (8686)

thee exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_.

17:3

And Abram
<087>

fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<06440>_:

and God
<0430>

talked
<01696> (8762)

with him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:4

As for me
<0589>_,

behold, my covenant
<01285>

[is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father
<01>

of many
<01995>

nations
<01471>_.

{many...: Heb. multitude of nations}

17:5

Neither shall thy name
<08034>

any more be called
<07121> (8735)

Abram
<087>_,

but thy name
<08034>

shall be Abraham
<085>_;

for a father
<01>

of many
<01995>

nations
<01471>

have I made thee
<05414> (8804)_.

{Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}

17:6

And I will make
<06509> (0)

thee exceeding
<03966> <03966>

fruitful
<06509> (8689)_,

and I will make
<05414> (8804)

nations
<01471>

of thee, and kings
<04428>

shall come out
<03318> (8799)

of thee.

17:7

And I will establish
<06965> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>

between me and thee and thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>

in their generations
<01755>

for an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_,

to be a God
<0430>

unto thee, and to thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>_.

17:8

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

unto thee, and to thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>_,

the land
<0776>

wherein thou art a stranger
<04033>_,

all the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

for an everlasting
<05769>

possession
<0272>_;

and I will be their God
<0430>_.

{wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings}

17:9

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Thou shalt keep
<08104> (8799)

my covenant
<01285>

therefore, thou, and thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>

in their generations
<01755>_.

17:10

This [is] my covenant
<01285>_,

which ye shall keep
<08104> (8799)_,

between me and you and thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>_;

Every man child
<02145>

among you shall be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_.

17:11

And ye shall circumcise
<05243> (8804)

the flesh
<01320>

of your foreskin
<06190>_;

and it shall be a token
<0226>

of the covenant
<01285>

betwixt me and you.

17:12

And he that is eight
<08083>

days
<03117>

old
<01121>

shall be circumcised
<04135> (8735)

among you, every man child
<02145>

in your generations
<01755>_,

he that is born
<03211>

in the house
<01004>_,

or bought
<04736>

with money
<03701>

of any stranger
<01121> <05236>_,

which [is] not of thy seed
<02233>_.

{he that is eight...: Heb. a son of eight days}

17:13

He that is born
<03211>

in thy house
<01004>_,

and he that is bought
<04736>

with thy money
<03701>_,

must needs
<04135> (8736)

be circumcised
<04135> (8735)_:

and my covenant
<01285>

shall be in your flesh
<01320>

for an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_.

17:14

And the uncircumcised
<06189>

man child
<02145>

whose
<0834>

flesh
<01320>

of his foreskin
<06190>

is not circumcised
<04135> (8735)_,

that soul
<05315>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

from his people
<05971>_;

he hath broken
<06565> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>_.

17:15

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

As for Sarai
<08297>

thy wife
<0802>_,

thou shalt not call
<07121> (8799)

her name
<08034>

Sarai
<08297>_,

but
<03588>

Sarah
<08283>

[shall] her name
<08034>

[be]. {Sarah: that is Princess}

17:16

And I will bless
<01288> (8765)

her, and give
<05414> (8804)

thee a son
<01121>

also of her: yea, I will bless
<01288> (8765)

her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations
<01471>_;

kings
<04428>

of people
<05971>

shall be of her. {she...: Heb. she shall become nations}

17:17

Then Abraham
<085>

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon his face
<06440>_,

and laughed
<06711> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

Shall [a child] be born
<03205> (8735)

unto him that is an hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_?

and shall Sarah
<08283>_,

that is ninety
<08673>

years
<08141>

old
<01323>_,

bear
<03205> (8799)_?

17:18

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

O that
<03863>

Ishmael
<03458>

might live
<02421> (8799)

before thee
<06440>_!

17:19

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Sarah
<08283>

thy wife
<0802>

shall bear
<03205> (8802)

thee a son
<01121>

indeed
<061>_;

and thou shalt call
<07121> (8804)

his name
<08034>

Isaac
<03327>_:

and I will establish
<06965> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>

with him for an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_,

[and] with his seed
<02233>

after him
<0310>_.

17:20

And as for Ishmael
<03458>_,

I have heard thee
<08085> (8804)_:

Behold, I have blessed
<01288> (8765)

him, and will make him fruitful
<06509> (8689)_,

and will multiply
<07235> (8689)

him exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_;

twelve
<06240> <08147>

princes
<05387>

shall he beget
<03205> (8686)_,

and I will make him
<05414> (8804)

a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>_.

17:21

But my covenant
<01285>

will I establish
<06965> (8686)

with Isaac
<03327>_,

which Sarah
<08283>

shall bear
<03205> (8799)

unto thee at this set time
<04150>

in the next
<0312>

year
<08141>_.

17:22

And he left off
<03615> (8762)

talking
<01696> (8763)

with him, and God
<0430>

went up
<05927> (8799)

from Abraham
<085>_.

17:23

And Abraham
<085>

took
<03947> (8799)

Ishmael
<03458>

his son
<01121>_,

and all that were born
<03211>

in his house
<01004>_,

and all that were bought
<04736>

with his money
<03701>_,

every male
<02145>

among the men
<0582>

of Abraham's
<085>

house
<01004>_;

and circumcised
<04135> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

of their foreskin
<06190>

in the selfsame
<06106>

day
<03117>_,

as God
<0430>

had said
<01696> (8765)

unto him.

17:24

And Abraham
<085>

[was] ninety
<08673>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

and nine
<08672>_,

when he was circumcised
<04135> (8736)

in the flesh
<01320>

of his foreskin
<06190>_.

17:25

And Ishmael
<03458>

his son
<01121>

[was] thirteen
<06240> <07969>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

when he was circumcised
<04135> (8736)

in the flesh
<01320>

of his foreskin
<06190>_.

17:26

In the selfsame
<06106>

day
<03117>

was Abraham
<085>

circumcised
<04135> (8738)_,

and Ishmael
<03458>

his son
<01121>_.

17:27

And all the men
<0582>

of his house
<01004>_,

born
<03211>

in the house
<01004>_,

and bought
<04736>

with money
<03701>

of the stranger
<01121> <05236>_,

were circumcised
<04135> (8738)

with him.

18:1

And the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto him in the plains
<0436>

of Mamre
<04471>_:

and he sat
<03427> (8802)

in the tent
<0168>

door
<06607>

in the heat
<02527>

of the day
<03117>_;

{plain: Heb. plains}

18:2

And he lift up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, lo, three
<07969>

men
<0582>

stood
<05324> (8737)

by him: and when he saw
<07200> (8799)

[them], he ran
<07323> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them from the tent
<0168>

door
<06607>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself toward the ground
<0776>_,

18:3

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

My Lord
<0136>_,

if now I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

pass not away
<05674> (8799)_,

I pray thee, from thy servant
<05650>_:

18:4

Let a little
<04592>

water
<04325>_,

I pray you
<04994>_,

be fetched
<03947> (8714)_,

and wash
<07364> (8798)

your feet
<07272>_,

and rest yourselves
<08172> (8734)

under the tree
<06086>_:

18:5

And I will fetch
<03947> (8799)

a morsel
<06595>

of bread
<03899>_,

and comfort ye
<05582> (8798)

your hearts
<03820>_;

after that
<0310>

ye shall pass on
<05674> (8799)_:

for therefore are ye come
<05674> (8804)

to
<05921>

your servant
<05650>_.

And they said
<01696> (8765)_,

So do
<06213> (8799)_,

as thou hast said
<0559> (8799)_.

{comfort: Heb. stay} {are...: Heb. you have passed}

18:6

And Abraham
<085>

hastened
<04116> (8762)

into the tent
<0168>

unto Sarah
<08283>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Make ready quickly
<04116> (8761)

three
<07969>

measures
<05429>

of fine
<05560>

meal
<07058>_,

knead
<03888> (8798)

[it], and make
<06213> (0)

cakes
<05692>

upon the hearth
<06213> (8798)_.

{Make ready...: Heb. Hasten}

18:7

And Abraham
<085>

ran
<07323> (8804)

unto the herd
<01241>_,

and fetcht
<03947> (8799)

a calf
<01121> <01241>

tender
<07390>

and good
<02896>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] unto a young man
<05288>_;

and he hasted
<04116> (8762)

to dress
<06213> (8800)

it.

18:8

And he took
<03947> (8799)

butter
<02529>_,

and milk
<02461>_,

and the calf
<01121> <01241>

which he had dressed
<06213> (8804)_,

and set
<05414> (8799)

[it] before them
<06440>_;

and he stood
<05975> (8802)

by them under the tree
<06086>_,

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.

18:9

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Where
<0346>

[is] Sarah
<08283>

thy wife
<0802>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, in the tent
<0168>_.

18:10

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will certainly
<07725> (8800)

return
<07725> (8799)

unto thee according to the time
<06256>

of life
<02416>_;

and, lo, Sarah
<08283>

thy wife
<0802>

shall have a son
<01121>_.

And Sarah
<08283>

heard
<08085> (8802)

[it] in the tent
<0168>

door
<06607>_,

which [was] behind him
<0310>_.

18:11

Now Abraham
<085>

and Sarah
<08283>

[were] old
<02205>

[and] well stricken
<0935> (8802)

in age
<03117>_;

[and] it ceased
<02308> (8804)

to be with Sarah
<08283>

after the manner
<0734>

of women
<0802>_.

18:12

Therefore Sarah
<08283>

laughed
<06711> (8799)

within herself
<07130>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

After
<0310>

I am waxed old
<01086> (8800)

shall I have pleasure
<05730>_,

my lord
<0113>

being old also
<02204> (8804)_?

18:13

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Wherefore
<04100>

did Sarah
<08283>

laugh
<06711> (8804)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I of a surety
<0552>

bear
<03205> (8799)

a child, which
<0589>

am old
<02204> (8804)_?

18:14

Is
<06381> (0)

any thing
<01697>

too hard
<06381> (8735)

for the LORD
<03068>_?

At the time appointed
<04150>

I will return
<07725> (8799)

unto thee, according to the time
<06256>

of life
<02416>_,

and Sarah
<08283>

shall have a son
<01121>_.

18:15

Then Sarah
<08283>

denied
<03584> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I laughed
<06711> (8804)

not; for she was afraid
<03372> (8804)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay
<03808>_;

but thou didst laugh
<06711> (8804)_.

18:16

And the men
<0582>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

from thence, and looked
<08259> (8686)

toward
<06440>

Sodom
<05467>_:

and Abraham
<085>

went
<01980> (8802)

with them to bring them on the way
<07971> (8763)_.

18:17

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Shall I hide
<03680> (8764)

from Abraham
<085>

that thing which
<0834>

I do
<06213> (8802)_;

18:18

Seeing that Abraham
<085>

shall surely become a great
<01419>

and mighty
<06099>

nation
<01471>_,

and all the nations
<01471>

of the earth
<0776>

shall be blessed
<01288> (8738)

in him?

18:19

For I know
<03045> (8804)

him, that
<0834>

he will command
<06680> (8762)

his children
<01121>

and his household
<01004>

after him
<0310>_,

and they shall keep
<08104> (8804)

the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

justice
<06666>

and judgment
<04941>_;

that the LORD
<03068>

may bring
<0935> (8687)

upon Abraham
<085>

that which he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

of him.

18:20

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because the cry
<02201>

of Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>

is great
<07227>_,

and because their sin
<02403>

is very
<03966>

grievous
<03513> (8804)_;

18:21

I will go down
<03381> (8799)

now, and see
<07200> (8799)

whether they have done
<06213> (8804)

altogether
<03617>

according to the cry
<06818>

of it, which is come
<0935> (8802)

unto me; and if not, I will know
<03045> (8799)_.

18:22

And the men
<0582>

turned their faces
<06437> (8799)

from thence, and went
<03212> (8799)

toward Sodom
<05467>_:

but Abraham
<085>

stood
<05975> (8802)

yet
<05750>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

18:23

And Abraham
<085>

drew near
<05066> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wilt thou also destroy
<05595> (8799)

the righteous
<06662>

with
<05973>

the wicked
<07563>_?

18:24

Peradventure there be
<03426>

fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

within
<08432>

the city
<05892>_:

wilt thou also destroy
<05595> (8799)

and not spare
<05375> (8799)

the place
<04725>

for
<04616>

the fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

that [are] therein
<07130>_?

18:25

That be far
<02486>

from thee to do
<06213> (8800)

after this manner
<01697>_,

to slay
<04191> (8687)

the righteous
<06662>

with the wicked
<07563>_:

and that the righteous
<06662>

should be as the wicked
<07563>_,

that be far
<02486>

from thee: Shall not the Judge
<08199> (8802)

of all the earth
<0776>

do
<06213> (8799)

right
<04941>_?

18:26

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

If I find
<04672> (8799)

in Sodom
<05467>

fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

within
<08432>

the city
<05892>_,

then I will spare
<05375> (8804)

all the place
<04725>

for their sakes.

18:27

And Abraham
<085>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, I have taken upon me
<02974> (8689)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto the Lord
<0136>_,

which
<0595>

[am but] dust
<06083>

and ashes
<0665>_:

18:28

Peradventure there shall lack
<02637> (8799)

five
<02568>

of the fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>_:

wilt thou destroy
<07843> (8686)

all the city
<05892>

for [lack of] five
<02568>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If I find
<04672> (8799)

there forty
<0705>

and five
<02568>_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it].

18:29

And he spake
<01696> (8763)

unto him yet again
<03254> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peradventure there shall be forty
<0705>

found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

[it] for forty's
<0705>

sake.

18:30

And he said
<0559> (8799)

[unto him], Oh
<04994>

let not the Lord
<0136>

be angry
<02734> (8799)_,

and I will speak
<01696> (8762)_:

Peradventure there shall thirty
<07970>

be found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

[it], if I find
<04672> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

there.

18:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, I have taken upon me
<02974> (8689)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto the Lord
<0136>_:

Peradventure there shall be twenty
<06242>

found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it] for twenty's
<06242>

sake.

18:32

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh let not the Lord
<0136>

be angry
<02734> (8799)_,

and I will speak
<01696> (8762)

yet
<0389>

but this once
<06471>_:

Peradventure ten
<06235>

shall be found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it] for ten's
<06235>

sake.

18:33

And the LORD
<03068>

went his way
<03212> (8799)_,

as soon as
<0834>

he had left
<03615> (8765)

communing
<01696> (8763)

with Abraham
<085>_:

and Abraham
<085>

returned
<07725> (8804)

unto his place
<04725>_.

19:1

And there came
<0935> (8799)

two
<08147>

angels
<04397>

to Sodom
<05467>

at even
<06153>_;

and Lot
<03876>

sat
<03427> (8802)

in the gate
<08179>

of Sodom
<05467>_:

and Lot
<03876>

seeing
<07200> (8799)

[them] rose up
<06965> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them; and he bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself with his face
<0639>

toward the ground
<0776>_;

19:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, my lords
<0113>_,

turn in
<05493> (8798)_,

I pray you, into your servant's
<05650>

house
<01004>_,

and tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_,

and wash
<07364> (8798)

your feet
<07272>_,

and ye shall rise up early
<07925> (8689)_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

on your ways
<01870>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but we will abide
<03885> (0)

in the street
<07339>

all night
<03885> (8799)_.

19:3

And he pressed
<06484> (8799)

upon them greatly
<03966>_;

and they turned in
<05493> (8799)

unto him, and entered
<0935> (8799)

into his house
<01004>_;

and he made
<06213> (8799)

them a feast
<04960>_,

and did bake
<0644> (8804)

unleavened bread
<04682>_,

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.

19:4

But before they lay down
<07901> (8799)_,

the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>_,

[even] the men
<0582>

of Sodom
<05467>_,

compassed
<05437> (0)

the house
<01004>

round
<05437> (8738)_,

both old
<02205>

and young
<05288>_,

all the people
<05971>

from every quarter
<07097>_:

19:5

And they called
<07121> (8799)

unto Lot
<03876>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Where [are] the men
<0582>

which came in
<0935> (8804)

to thee this night
<03915>_?

bring them out
<03318> (8685)

unto us, that we may know
<03045> (8799)

them.

19:6

And Lot
<03876>

went out
<03318> (8799)

at the door
<06607>

unto them, and shut
<05462> (8804)

the door
<01817>

after him
<0310>_,

19:7

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray you, brethren
<0251>_,

do not so wickedly
<07489> (8686)_.

19:8

Behold now, I have two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>

which have not known
<03045> (8804)

man
<0376>_;

let me, I pray you, bring them out
<03318> (8686)

unto you, and do
<06213> (8798)

ye to them as [is] good
<02896>

in your eyes
<05869>_:

only unto these
<0411>

men
<0582>

do
<06213> (8799)

nothing
<0408> <01697>_;

for therefore came
<0935> (8804)

they under the shadow
<06738>

of my roof
<06982>_.

19:9

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Stand
<05066> (8798)

back
<01973>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)

[again], This one
<0259>

[fellow] came in
<0935> (8804)

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_,

and he will needs
<08199> (8800)

be a judge
<08199> (8799)_:

now will we deal worse
<07489> (8686)

with thee, than with them. And they pressed
<06484> (8799)

sore
<03966>

upon the man
<0376>_,

[even] Lot
<03876>_,

and came near
<05066> (8799)

to break
<07665> (8800)

the door
<01817>_.

19:10

But the men
<0582>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

their hand
<03027>_,

and pulled
<0935> (8686)

Lot
<03876>

into the house
<01004>

to them, and shut
<05462> (8804)

to the door
<01817>_.

19:11

And they smote
<05221> (8689)

the men
<0582>

that [were] at the door
<06607>

of the house
<01004>

with blindness
<05575>_,

both small
<06996>

and great
<01419>_:

so that they wearied
<03811> (8799)

themselves to find
<04672> (8800)

the door
<06607>_.

19:12

And the men
<0582>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Lot
<03876>_,

Hast thou here
<06311>

any
<04310>

besides? son in law
<02860>_,

and thy sons
<01121>_,

and thy daughters
<01323>_,

and whatsoever
<0834>

thou hast in the city
<05892>_,

bring [them] out
<03318> (8685)

of this place
<04725>_:

19:13

For we
<0587>

will destroy
<07843> (8688) <0853>

this place
<04725>_,

because the cry of them
<06818>

is waxen great
<01431> (8804)

before
<0854>

the face
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath sent
<07971> (8762)

us to destroy
<07843> (8763)

it.

19:14

And Lot
<03876>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto his sons in law
<02860>_,

which married
<03947> (8802)

his daughters
<01323>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

get you out
<03318> (8798)

of this place
<04725>_;

for the LORD
<03068>

will destroy
<07843> (8688)

this city
<05892>_.

But he seemed as one that mocked
<06711> (8764)

unto
<05869>

his sons in law
<02860>_.

19:15

And when
<03644>

the morning
<07837>

arose
<05927> (8804)_,

then the angels
<04397>

hastened
<0213> (8686)

Lot
<03876>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

take
<03947> (8798)

thy wife
<0802>_,

and thy two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_,

which are here
<04672> (8737)_;

lest thou be consumed
<05595> (8735)

in the iniquity
<05771>

of the city
<05892>_.

{are here: Heb. are found} {iniquity: or, punishment}

19:16

And while he lingered
<04102> (8698)_,

the men
<0582>

laid hold
<02388> (8686)

upon his hand
<03027>_,

and upon the hand
<03027>

of his wife
<0802>_,

and upon the hand
<03027>

of his two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_;

the LORD
<03068>

being merciful
<02551>

unto him: and they brought him forth
<03318> (8686)_,

and set him
<03240> (8686)

without
<02351>

the city
<05892>_.

19:17

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth
<03318> (8687)

abroad
<02351>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Escape
<04422> (8734)

for
<05921>

thy life
<05315>_;

look
<05027> (8686)

not behind thee
<0310>_,

neither stay
<05975> (8799)

thou in all the plain
<03603>_;

escape
<04422> (8734)

to the mountain
<02022>_,

lest thou be consumed
<05595> (8735)_.

19:18

And Lot
<03876>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord
<0113>_:

19:19

Behold now, thy servant
<05650>

hath found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

and thou hast magnified
<01431> (8686)

thy mercy
<02617>_,

which thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)

unto me
<05978>

in saving
<02421> (8687)

my life
<05315>_;

and I cannot
<03201> (8799)

escape
<04422> (8736)

to the mountain
<02022>_,

lest some evil
<07451>

take
<01692> (8799)

me, and I die
<04191> (8804)_:

19:20

Behold now, this city
<05892>

[is] near
<07138>

to flee
<05127> (8800)

unto, and it
<01931>

[is] a little one
<04705>_:

Oh, let me escape
<04422> (8735)

thither, ([is] it not a little one
<04705>?)

and my soul
<05315>

shall live
<02421> (8799)_.

19:21

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, See
<02009>_,

I have accepted
<05375> (8804)

thee
<06440>

concerning this thing
<01697>

also, that I will not overthrow
<02015> (8800)

this city
<05892>_,

for the which
<0834>

thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

{thee: Heb. thy face}

19:22

Haste
<04116> (8761)

thee, escape
<04422> (8734)

thither; for I cannot
<03201> (8799)

do
<06213> (8800)

any thing
<01697>

till thou be come
<0935> (8800)

thither. Therefore the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

was called
<07121> (8804)

Zoar
<06820>_.

{Zoar: that is, Little}

19:23

The sun
<08121>

was risen
<03318> (8804)

upon the earth
<0776>

when Lot
<03876>

entered
<0935> (8804)

into Zoar
<06820>_.

{risen: Heb. gone forth}

19:24

Then the LORD
<03068>

rained
<04305> (8689)

upon Sodom
<05467>

and upon Gomorrah
<06017>

brimstone
<01614>

and fire
<0784>

from the LORD
<03068>

out of heaven
<08064>_;

19:25

And he overthrew
<02015> (8799)

those
<0411>

cities
<05892>_,

and all the plain
<03603>_,

and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the cities
<05892>_,

and that which grew
<06780>

upon the ground
<0127>_.

19:26

But his wife
<0802>

looked back
<05027> (8686)

from behind him
<0310>_,

and she became a pillar
<05333>

of salt
<04417>_.

19:27

And Abraham
<085>

gat up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>

to the place
<04725>

where he stood
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

19:28

And he looked
<08259> (8686)

toward
<06440>

Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>_,

and toward
<06440>

all the land
<0776>

of the plain
<03603>_,

and beheld
<07200> (8799)_,

and, lo, the smoke
<07008>

of the country
<0776>

went up
<05927> (8804)

as the smoke
<07008>

of a furnace
<03536>_.

19:29

And it came to pass, when God
<0430>

destroyed
<07843> (8763)

the cities
<05892>

of the plain
<03603>_,

that God
<0430>

remembered
<02142> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

Lot
<03876>

out of the midst
<08432>

of the overthrow
<02018>_,

when he overthrew
<02015> (8800)

the cities
<05892>

in the which
<02004>

Lot
<03876>

dwelt
<03427> (8804)_.

19:30

And Lot
<03876>

went up
<05927> (8799)

out of Zoar
<06820>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the mountain
<02022>_,

and his two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>

with him; for he feared
<03372> (8804)

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

in Zoar
<06820>_:

and he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in a cave
<04631>_,

he and his two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_.

19:31

And the firstborn
<01067>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the younger
<06810>_,

Our father
<01>

[is] old
<02204> (8804)_,

and [there is] not a man
<0376>

in the earth
<0776>

to come in
<0935> (8800)

unto us after the manner
<01870>

of all the earth
<0776>_:

19:32

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us make
<08248> (0)

our father
<01>

drink
<08248> (8686)

wine
<03196>_,

and we will lie
<07901> (8799)

with him, that we may preserve
<02421> (8762)

seed
<02233>

of our father
<01>_.

19:33

And they made
<08248> (0)

their father
<01>

drink
<08248> (8686)

wine
<03196>

that night
<03915>_:

and the firstborn
<01067>

went in
<0935> (8799)_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

with her father
<01>_;

and he perceived
<03045> (8804)

not when she lay down
<07901> (8800)_,

nor when she arose
<06965> (8800)_.

19:34

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that the firstborn
<01067>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the younger
<06810>_,

Behold, I lay
<07901> (8804)

yesternight
<0570>

with my father
<01>_:

let us make him drink
<08248> (8686)

wine
<03196>

this night
<03915>

also; and go thou in
<0935> (8798)_,

[and] lie
<07901> (8798)

with him, that we may preserve
<02421> (8762)

seed
<02233>

of our father
<01>_.

19:35

And they made
<08248> (0)

their father
<01>

drink
<08248> (8686)

wine
<03196>

that
<01931>

night
<03915>

also: and the younger
<06810>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

with him; and he perceived
<03045> (8804)

not when she lay down
<07901> (8800)_,

nor when she arose
<06965> (8800)_.

19:36

Thus were both
<08147>

the daughters
<01323>

of Lot
<03876>

with child
<02029> (8799)

by their father
<01>_.

19:37

And the firstborn
<01067>

bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Moab
<04124>_:

the same
<01931>

[is] the father
<01>

of the Moabites
<04124>

unto this day
<03117>_.

19:38

And the younger
<06810>_,

she also bare
<03205> (8804)

a son
<01121>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Benammi
<01151>_:

the same [is] the father
<01>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

unto this day
<03117>_.

Psalms 19:10

19:10

More to be desired
<02530> (8737)

[are they] than gold
<02091>_,

yea, than much
<07227>

fine gold
<06337>_:

sweeter
<04966>

also than honey
<01706>

and the honeycomb
<05317> <06688>_.

{the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}

Psalms 119:72

119:72

The law
<08451>

of thy mouth
<06310>

[is] better
<02896>

unto me than thousands
<0505>

of gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_.

Proverbs 3:14-15

3:14

For the merchandise
<05504>

of it [is] better
<02896>

than the merchandise
<05505>

of silver
<03701>_,

and the gain
<08393>

thereof than fine gold
<02742>_.

3:15

She [is] more precious
<03368>

than rubies
<06443>_:

and all the things thou canst desire
<02656>

are not to be compared
<07737> (8799)

unto her.

Proverbs 8:11

8:11

For wisdom
<02451>

[is] better
<02896>

than rubies
<06443>_;

and all the things that may be desired
<02656>

are not to be compared
<07737> (8799)

to it.

Proverbs 8:18-19

8:18

Riches
<06239>

and honour
<03519>

[are] with me; [yea], durable
<06276>

riches
<01952>

and righteousness
<06666>_.

8:19

My fruit
<06529>

[is] better
<02896>

than gold
<02742>_,

yea, than fine gold
<06337>_;

and my revenue
<08393>

than choice
<0977> (8737)

silver
<03701>_.

Proverbs 16:16

16:16

How much better
<02896>

[is it] to get
<07069> (8800)

wisdom
<02451>

than gold
<02742>_!

and to get
<07069> (8800)

understanding
<0998>

rather to be chosen
<0977> (8737)

than silver
<03701>_!

Proverbs 23:23

23:23

Buy
<07069> (8798)

the truth
<0571>_,

and sell
<04376> (8799)

[it] not; [also] wisdom
<02451>_,

and instruction
<04148>_,

and understanding
<0998>_.

Ecclesiastes 8:16-17

8:16

When I applied
<05414> (8804)

mine heart
<03820>

to know
<03045> (8800)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and to see
<07200> (8800)

the business
<06045>

that is done
<06213> (8738)

upon the earth
<0776>_:

(for also [there is that] neither day
<03117>

nor night
<03915>

seeth
<07200> (8802)

sleep
<08142>

with his eyes
<05869>:)

8:17

Then I beheld
<07200> (8804)

all the work
<04639>

of God
<0430>_,

that a man
<0120>

cannot
<03201> (8799)

find out
<04672> (8800)

the work
<04639>

that is done
<06213> (8738)

under the sun
<08121>_:

because
<0834>

though
<07945>

a man
<0120>

labour
<05998> (8799)

to seek [it] out
<01245> (8763)_,

yet he shall not find
<04672> (8799)

[it]; yea further; though a wise
<02450>

[man] think
<0559> (8799)

to know
<03045> (8800)

[it], yet shall he not be able
<03201> (8799)

to find
<04672> (8800)

[it].
