Genesis 19:1--21:34

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>_.

20:1

And Abraham
<085>

journeyed
<05265> (8799)

from thence toward the south
<05045>

country
<0776>_,

and dwelled
<03427> (8799)

between Kadesh
<06946>

and Shur
<07793>_,

and sojourned
<01481> (8799)

in Gerar
<01642>_.

20:2

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

of
<0413>

Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>_,

She [is] my sister
<0269>_:

and Abimelech
<040>

king
<04428>

of Gerar
<01642>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Sarah
<08283>_.

20:3

But God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Abimelech
<040>

in a dream
<02472>

by night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man
<04191> (8801)_,

for the woman
<0802>

which thou hast taken
<03947> (8804)_;

for she [is] a man's
<01167>

wife
<01166> (8803)_.

{a man's...: Heb. married to an husband}

20:4

But Abimelech
<040>

had not come near
<07126> (8804)

her: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>_,

wilt thou slay
<02026> (8799)

also a righteous
<06662>

nation
<01471>_?

20:5

Said
<0559> (8804)

he not unto me, She
<01931>

[is] my sister
<0269>_?

and she
<01931>_,

even
<01571>

she
<01931>

herself said
<0559> (8804)_,

He [is] my brother
<0251>_:

in the integrity
<08537>

of my heart
<03824>

and innocency
<05356>

of my hands
<03709>

have I done
<06213> (8804)

this. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity}

20:6

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him in a dream
<02472>_,

Yea
<01571>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou didst
<06213> (8804)

this in the integrity
<08537>

of thy heart
<03824>_;

for I also withheld
<02820> (8799)

thee from sinning
<02398> (8800)

against me: therefore suffered
<05414> (8804)

I thee not to touch
<05060> (8800)

her.

20:7

Now therefore restore
<07725> (8685)

the man
<0376>

[his] wife
<0802>_;

for he [is] a prophet
<05030>_,

and he shall pray
<06419> (8691)

for thee
<01157>_,

and thou shalt live
<02421> (8798)_:

and if thou restore
<07725> (8688)

[her] not, know
<03045> (8798)

thou that thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_,

thou, and all that [are] thine.

20:8

Therefore Abimelech
<040>

rose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

all his servants
<05650>_,

and told
<01696> (8762)

all these things
<01697>

in their ears
<0241>_:

and the men
<0582>

were sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

20:9

Then Abimelech
<040>

called
<07121> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)

unto us? and what have I offended
<02398> (8804)

thee, that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

on me and on my kingdom
<04467>

a great
<01419>

sin
<02401>_?

thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

deeds
<04639>

unto me that ought not to be done
<06213> (8735)_.

20:10

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

What
<04100>

sawest thou
<07200> (8804)_,

that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_?

20:11

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because I thought
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely
<07535>

the fear
<03374>

of God
<0430>

[is] not in this place
<04725>_;

and they will slay me
<02026> (8804)

for my wife's
<0802>

sake
<01697>_.

20:12

And yet indeed
<0546>

[she is] my sister
<0269>_;

she [is] the daughter
<01323>

of my father
<01>_,

but not the daughter
<01323>

of my mother
<0517>_;

and she became my wife
<0802>_.

20:13

And it came to pass, when God
<0430>

caused me to wander
<08582> (8689)

from my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

that I said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, This [is] thy kindness
<02617>

which thou shalt shew
<06213> (8799)

unto me; at every place
<04725>

whither we shall come
<0935> (8799)_,

say
<0559> (8798)

of me, He [is] my brother
<0251>_.

20:14

And Abimelech
<040>

took
<03947> (8799)

sheep
<06629>_,

and oxen
<01241>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and womenservants
<08198>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] unto Abraham
<085>_,

and restored
<07725> (8686)

him Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>_.

20:15

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, my land
<0776>

[is] before thee
<06440>_:

dwell
<03427> (8798)

where it pleaseth
<02896> <05869>

thee. {where...: Heb. as is good in thine eyes}

20:16

And unto Sarah
<08283>

he said
<0559> (8804)_,

Behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)

thy brother
<0251>

a thousand
<0505>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_:

behold, he [is] to thee a covering
<03682>

of the eyes
<05869>_,

unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved
<03198> (8737)_.

20:17

So Abraham
<085>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto God
<0430>_:

and God
<0430>

healed
<07495> (8799)

Abimelech
<040>_,

and his wife
<0802>_,

and his maidservants
<0519>_;

and they bare
<03205> (8799)

[children].

20:18

For the LORD
<03068>

had fast
<06113> (8800)

closed up
<06113> (8804)

all the wombs
<07358>

of the house
<01004>

of Abimelech
<040>_,

because
<01697>

of Sarah
<08283>

Abraham's
<085>

wife
<0802>_.

21:1

And the LORD
<03068>

visited
<06485> (8804)

Sarah
<08283>

as he had said
<0559> (8804)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

did
<06213> (8799)

unto Sarah
<08283>

as he had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

21:2

For Sarah
<08283>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

Abraham
<085>

a son
<01121>

in his old age
<02208>_,

at the set time
<04150>

of which God
<0430>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)

to him.

21:3

And Abraham
<085>

called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of his son
<01121>

that was born
<03205> (8737)

unto him, whom Sarah
<08283>

bare
<03205> (8804)

to him, Isaac
<03327>_.

21:4

And Abraham
<085>

circumcised
<04135> (8799)

his son
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>

being eight
<08083>

days
<03117>

old
<01121>_,

as God
<0430>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

him.

21:5

And Abraham
<085>

was an hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

when his son
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>

was born
<03205> (8736)

unto him.

21:6

And Sarah
<08283>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath made
<06213> (8804)

me to laugh
<06712>_,

[so that] all that hear
<08085> (8802)

will laugh
<06711> (8799)

with me.

21:7

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who would have said
<04448> (8765)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

that Sarah
<08283>

should have given children
<01121>

suck
<03243> (8689)_?

for I have born
<03205> (8804)

[him] a son
<01121>

in his old age
<02208>_.

21:8

And the child
<03206>

grew
<01431> (8799)_,

and was weaned
<01580> (8735)_:

and Abraham
<085>

made
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

feast
<04960>

the [same] day
<03117>

that Isaac
<03327>

was weaned
<01580> (8736)_.

21:9

And Sarah
<08283>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the son
<01121>

of Hagar
<01904>

the Egyptian
<04713>_,

which she had born
<03205> (8804)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

mocking
<06711> (8764)_.

21:10

Wherefore she said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Cast out
<01644> (8761)

this bondwoman
<0519>

and her son
<01121>_:

for the son
<01121>

of this bondwoman
<0519>

shall not be heir
<03423> (8799)

with my son
<01121>_,

[even] with Isaac
<03327>_.

21:11

And the thing
<01697>

was very
<03966>

grievous
<03415> (8799)

in Abraham's
<085>

sight
<05869>

because
<0182>

of his son
<01121>_.

21:12

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Let it not be grievous
<03415> (8799)

in thy sight
<05869>

because of the lad
<05288>_,

and because of thy bondwoman
<0519>_;

in all that Sarah
<08283>

hath said
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto her voice
<06963>_;

for in Isaac
<03327>

shall thy seed
<02233>

be called
<07121> (8735)_.

21:13

And also of the son
<01121>

of the bondwoman
<0519>

will I make
<07760> (8799)

a nation
<01471>_,

because he [is] thy seed
<02233>_.

21:14

And Abraham
<085>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

bread
<03899>_,

and a bottle
<02573>

of water
<04325>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] unto Hagar
<01904>_,

putting
<07760> (8804)

[it] on her shoulder
<07926>_,

and the child
<03206>_,

and sent her away
<07971> (8762)_:

and she departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and wandered
<08582> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Beersheba
<0884>_.

21:15

And the water
<04325>

was spent
<03615> (8799)

in
<04480>

the bottle
<02573>_,

and she cast
<07993> (8686)

the child
<03206>

under one
<0259>

of the shrubs
<07880>_.

21:16

And she went
<03212> (8799)_,

and sat her down
<03427> (8799)

over against
<05048>

[him] a good way off
<07368> (8687)_,

as it were a bowshot
<02909> (8764) <07198>_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Let me not see
<07200> (8799)

the death
<04194>

of the child
<03206>_.

And she sat
<03427> (8799)

over against [him], and lift up
<05375> (8799)

her voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

21:17

And God
<0430>

heard
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the lad
<05288>_;

and the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

called
<07121> (8799)

to Hagar
<01904>

out of heaven
<08064>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar
<01904>_?

fear
<03372> (8799)

not; for God
<0430>

hath heard
<08085> (8799)

the voice
<06963>

of the lad
<05288>

where he [is].

21:18

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

lift up
<05375> (8798)

the lad
<05288>_,

and hold
<02388> (8685)

him in thine hand
<03027>_;

for I will make
<07760> (8799)

him a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>_.

21:19

And God
<0430>

opened
<06491> (8799)

her eyes
<05869>_,

and she saw
<07200> (8799)

a well
<0875>

of water
<04325>_;

and she went
<03212> (8799)_,

and filled
<04390> (8762)

the bottle
<02573>

with water
<04325>_,

and gave
<08248> (0)

the lad
<05288>

drink
<08248> (8686)_.

21:20

And God
<0430>

was with the lad
<05288>_;

and he grew
<01431> (8799)_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and became an archer
<07235> (8802) <07199>_.

21:21

And he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Paran
<06290>_:

and his mother
<0517>

took
<03947> (8799)

him a wife
<0802>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

21:22

And it came to pass at that time
<06256>_,

that Abimelech
<040>

and Phichol
<06369>

the chief captain
<08269>

of his host
<06635>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

God
<0430>

[is] with thee in all that thou doest
<06213> (8802)_:

21:23

Now therefore swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me here
<02008>

by God
<0430>

that thou wilt not deal falsely
<08266> (8799)

with me, nor with my son
<05209>_,

nor with my son's son
<05220>_:

[but] according to the kindness
<02617>

that I have done
<06213> (8804)

unto thee, thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

unto me, and to the land
<0776>

wherein thou hast sojourned
<01481> (8804)_.

{that thou...: Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me}

21:24

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will swear
<07650> (8735)_.

21:25

And Abraham
<085>

reproved
<03198> (8689)

Abimelech
<040>

because
<0182>

of a well
<0875>

of water
<04325>_,

which Abimelech's
<040>

servants
<05650>

had violently taken away
<01497> (8804)_.

21:26

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I wot
<03045> (8804)

not who hath done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_:

neither
<03808>

didst thou tell
<05046> (8689)

me, neither
<03808>

yet heard
<08085> (8804)

I [of it], but
<01115>

to day
<03117>_.

21:27

And Abraham
<085>

took
<03947> (8799)

sheep
<06629>

and oxen
<01241>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

them unto Abimelech
<040>_;

and both of them
<08147>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_.

21:28

And Abraham
<085>

set
<05324> (8686)

seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

of the flock
<06629>

by themselves.

21:29

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

What
<02008>

[mean] these seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

which thou hast set
<05324> (8689)

by themselves?

21:30

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

For [these] seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

shalt thou take
<03947> (8799)

of my hand
<03027>_,

that
<05668>

they may be a witness
<05713>

unto me, that I have digged
<02658> (8804)

this well
<0875>_.

21:31

Wherefore he called
<07121> (8804)

that place
<04725>

Beersheba
<0884>_;

because there they sware
<07650> (8738)

both of them
<08147>_.

{Beersheba: that is, The well of the oath}

21:32

Thus they made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

at Beersheba
<0884>_:

then Abimelech
<040>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and Phichol
<06369>

the chief captain
<08269>

of his host
<06635>_,

and they returned
<07725> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

21:33

And [Abraham] planted
<05193> (8799)

a grove
<0815>

in Beersheba
<0884>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

there on the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the everlasting
<05769>

God
<0410>_.

{grove: or, tree}

21:34

And Abraham
<085>

sojourned
<01481> (8799)

in the Philistines
<06430>_'

land
<0776>

many
<07227>

days
<03117>_.
