<p class="bodytext">When his brothers had gone to graze their father&#8217;s flocks near Shechem,

So they loaded their grain on their donkeys and left.<n id="1" />p>

The four victorious kings<n id="1" /> took all the possessions and food of Sodom and Gomorrah and left.

They also took Abram&#8217;s nephew<n id="1" /> Lot and his possessions when<n id="2" /> they left, for Lot<n id="3" /> was living in Sodom.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">The two men turned<n id="1" /> and headed<n id="2" /> toward Sodom, but Abraham was still standing before the <sc>Lordsc>.<n id="3" />

&#8220;God will provide<n id="1" /> for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,&#8221; Abraham replied. The two of them continued on together.p>

Early in the morning the men made a treaty with each other.<n id="1" /> Isaac sent them off; they separated on good terms.<n id="2" />p>

Then he sent his brothers on their way and they left. He said to them, &#8220;As you travel don&#8217;t be overcome with fear.&#8221;<n id="1" />p>

Then his brothers also came and threw themselves down before him; they said, &#8220;Here we are; we are your slaves.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand,<n id="1" /> and the two of them walked on together.

<p class="bodytext">Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set out together<n id="1" /> for Beer Sheba where Abraham stayed.<n id="2" />p>

Shem and Japheth took the garment<n id="1" /> and placed it on their shoulders. Then they walked in backwards and covered up their father&#8217;s nakedness. Their faces were turned<n id="2" /> the other way so they did not see their father&#8217;s nakedness.p>
