This is my requirement that you and your descendants after you must keep:<n id="1" /> Every male among you must be circumcised.<n id="2" />

Any uncircumcised male<n id="1" /> who has not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin will be cut off<n id="2" /> from his people &#8211; he has failed to carry out my requirement.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.&#8221;

And let me get<n id="1" /> a bit of food<n id="2" /> so that you may refresh yourselves<n id="3" /> since you have passed by your servant&#8217;s home. After that you may be on your way.&#8221;<n id="4" /> &#8220;All right,&#8221; they replied, &#8220;you may do as you say.&#8221;p>

Abraham<n id="1" /> then took some curds and milk, along with the calf that had been prepared, and placed the food<n id="2" /> before them. They ate while<n id="3" /> he was standing near them under a tree.p>

What if there are fifty godly people in the city? Will you really wipe it out and not spare<n id="1" /> the place for the sake of the fifty godly people who are in it?

They shouted to Lot,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sex<n id="2" /> with them!&#8221;p>

Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, from the youngest to the oldest,<n id="1" /> with blindness. The men outside<n id="2" /> wore themselves out trying to find the door.

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

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Very well,&#8221; he replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I will grant this request too<n id="2" /> and will not overthrow<n id="3" /> the town you mentioned.

<p class="bodytext">But God appeared<n id="1" /> to Abimelech in a dream at night and said to him, &#8220;You are as good as dead<n id="2" /> because of the woman you have taken, for she is someone else&#8217;s wife.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">To Sarah he said, &#8220;Look, I have given a thousand pieces of silver<n id="1" /> to your &#8216;brother.&#8217;<n id="2" /> This is compensation for you so that you will stand vindicated before all who are with you.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">At that time Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, &#8220;God is with you<n id="1" /> in all that you do.

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>

and said, &#8220;&#8216;I solemnly swear by my own name,&#8217;<n id="1" /> decrees the <sc>Lordsc>,<n id="2" /> &#8216;that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,

&#8220;No, my lord! Hear me out. I sell<n id="1" /> you both the field and the cave that is in it.<n id="2" /> In the presence of my people<n id="3" /> I sell it to you. Bury your dead.&#8221;p>

Abraham said to his servant, the senior one<n id="1" /> in his household who was in charge of everything he had, &#8220;Put your hand under my thigh<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">After the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka<n id="1" /> and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels<n id="2" /> and gave them to her.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">So Abraham&#8217;s servant<n id="1" /> went to the house and unloaded<n id="2" /> the camels. Straw and feed were given<n id="3" /> to the camels, and water was provided so that he and the men who were with him could wash their feet.<n id="4" />
