Genesis 16:1--18:33

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>_.

Exodus 20:5

20:5

Thou shalt not bow down
<07812> (8691)

thyself to them, nor serve
<05647> (8714)

them: for I the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

[am] a jealous
<07067>

God
<0410>_,

visiting
<06485> (8802)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the fathers
<01>

upon the children
<01121>

unto the third
<08029>

and fourth
<07256>

[generation] of them that hate
<08130> (8802)

me;

Matthew 4:10

4:10

Then
<5119>

saith
<3004> (5719)

Jesus
<2424>

unto him
<846>_,

Get thee hence
<5217> (5720)_,

Satan
<4567>_:

for
<1063>

it is written
<1125> (5769)_,

Thou shalt worship
<4352> (5692)

the Lord
<2962>

thy
<4675>

God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

him
<846>

only
<3441>

shalt thou serve
<3000> (5692)_.
