Then the two visitors<n id="1" /> said to Lot, &#8220;Who else do you have here?<n id="2" /> Do you have<n id="3" /> any sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or other relatives in the city?<n id="4" /> Get them out of this<n id="5" /> place

because we are about to destroy<n id="1" /> it. The outcry against this place<n id="2" /> is so great before the <sc>Lordsc> that he<n id="3" /> has sent us to destroy it.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Abraham replied, &#8220;Because I thought,<n id="1" /> &#8216;Surely no one fears God in this place. They will kill me because of<n id="2" /> my wife.&#8217;

And Abraham called the name of that place &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> provides.&#8221;<n id="1" /> It is said to this day,<n id="2" /> &#8220;In the mountain of the <sc>Lordsc> provision will be made.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

&#8220;Whose daughter are you?&#8221; he asked.<n id="1" /> &#8220;Tell me, is there room in your father&#8217;s house for us to spend the night?&#8221;p>

He was afraid and said, &#8220;What an awesome place this is! This is nothing else than the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">After Rachel had given birth<n id="1" /> to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, &#8220;Send<n id="2" /> me on my way so that I can go<n id="3" /> home to my own country.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext"><v id="(32:1)" /><n id="1" /> Early in the morning Laban kissed<n id="2" /> his grandchildren<n id="3" /> and his daughters goodbye and blessed them. Then Laban left and returned home.<n id="4" />p>

When Jacob saw them, he exclaimed,<n id="1" /> &#8220;This is the camp of God!&#8221; So he named that place Mahanaim.<n id="2" />p>

So Jacob named the place Peniel,<n id="1" /> explaining,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Certainly<n id="3" /> I have seen God face to face<n id="4" /> and have survived.&#8221;<n id="5" />p>

But<n id="1" /> Jacob traveled to Succoth<n id="2" /> where he built himself a house and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place was called<n id="3" /> Succoth.<n id="4" />p>

He built an altar there and named the place El Bethel<n id="1" /> because there God had revealed himself<n id="2" /> to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

So Jacob set up a sacred stone pillar in the place where God spoke with him.<n id="1" /> He poured out a drink offering on it, and then he poured oil on it.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">These were the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families, according to their places, by their names: chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,

He asked the men who were there,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Where is the cult prostitute<n id="2" /> who was at Enaim by the road?&#8221; But they replied, &#8220;There has been no cult prostitute here.&#8221;

So he returned to Judah and said, &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t find her. Moreover, the men of the place said, &#8216;There has been no cult prostitute here.&#8217;&#8221;

Joseph&#8217;s master took him and threw him into the prison,<n id="1" /> the place where the king&#8217;s prisoners were confined. So he was there in the prison.<n id="2" />p>

so he imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard in the same facility where Joseph was confined.

<p class="bodytext">After Lot had departed, the <sc>Lordsc> said to Abram,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Look<n id="2" /> from the place where you stand to the north, south, east, and west.

<p class="bodytext">Then Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who were going to marry his daughters.<n id="1" /> He said, &#8220;Quick, get out of this place because the <sc>Lordsc> is about to destroy<n id="2" /> the city!&#8221; But his sons-in-law thought he was ridiculing them.<n id="3" />p>
