Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earth.

Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters: and let it diuide the waters from the waters.
Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament; and diuided the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters, which were aboue the firmament: and it was so.
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament, Heauen: and the euening and the morning were the second day.
Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered together vnto one place, and let the dry land appeare: and it was so.

Gen 1:13 And the euening and the morning were the third day.

Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the starres also.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to giue light vpon the earth:

Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and euery liuing creature that moueth, which the waters brought forth aboundantly after their kinde, and euery winged foule after his kinde: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitfull, and multiply, and fill the waters in the Seas, and let foule multiply in the earth.
Gen 1:23 And the euening and the morning were the fift day.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his owne Image, in the Image of God created hee him; male and female created hee them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said vnto them, Be fruitfull, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer euery liuing thing that mooueth vpon the earth.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I haue giuen you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon the face of all the earth, and euery tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yeelding seed, to you it shall be for meat:
Gen 1:30 And to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the aire, and to euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth, wherein there is life, I haue giuen euery greene herbe for meat: and it was so.
Gen 1:31 And God saw euery thing that hee had made: and behold, it was very good. And the euening and the morning were the sixth day.
Gen 2:1 Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the hoste of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seuenth day God ended his worke, which hee had made: And he rested on the seuenth day from all his worke, which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seuenth day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his worke, which God created and made.
Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heauens, & of the earth, when they were created; in the day that the LORD God made the earth, and the heauens,
Gen 2:5 And euery plant of the field, before it was in the earth, and euery herbe of the field, before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to raine vpon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Gen 2:6 But there went vp a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, & breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a liuing soule.
Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden Eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow euery tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food: the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and euill.
Gen 2:10 And a riuer went out of Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was parted, and became into foure heads.
Gen 2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where there is gold.
Gen 2:12 And the gold of that land is good: There is Bdellium and the Onix stone.
Gen 2:13 And the name of the second riuer is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Gen 2:14 And the name of the third riuer is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the East of Assyria: and the fourth riuer is Euphrates.
Gen 2:15 And the LORD God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dresse it, and to keepe it.
Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of euery tree of the garden thou mayest freely eate.
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and euill, thou shalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die.
Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone: I will make him an helpe meet for him.
Gen 2:19 And out of ye ground the LORD God formed euery beast of the field, and euery foule of the aire, and brought them vnto Adam, to see what he would call them: and whatsoeuer Adam called euery liuing creature, that was the name thereof.
Gen 2:20 And Adam gaue names to all cattell, and to the foule of the aire, and to euery beast of the fielde: but for Adam there was not found an helpe meete for him.
Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deepe sleepe to fall vpon Adam, and hee slept; and he tooke one of his ribs, and closed vp the flesh in stead thereof.
Gen 2:22 And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man, made hee a woman, & brought her vnto the man.
Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shalbe called woman, because shee was taken out of man.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leaue his father and his mother, and shall cleaue vnto his wife: and they shalbe one flesh.
Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man & his wife, and were not ashamed.
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtill then any beast of the field, which the LORD God had made, and he said vnto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of euery tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said vnto the serpent, Wee may eate of the fruite of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shal not eate of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the Serpent said vnto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.
Gen 3:5 For God doeth know, that in the day ye eate thereof, then your eyes shalbee opened: and yee shall bee as Gods, knowing good and euill.
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw, that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she tooke of the fruit thereof, and did eate, and gaue also vnto her husband with her, and hee did eate.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, & they knew that they were naked, and they sewed figge leaues together, and made themselues aprons.
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voyce of the LORD God, walking in the garden in the coole of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselues from the presence of the LORD God, amongst the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:9 And the LORD God called vnto Adam, and said vnto him, Where art thou?
Gen 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden: and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid my selfe.
Gen 3:11 And he said, Who told thee, that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee, that thou shouldest not eate?
Gen 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gauest to be with mee, shee gaue me of the tree, and I did eate.
Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said vnto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The Serpent beguiled me, and I did eate.
Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said vnto the Serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed aboue all cattel, and aboue euery beast of the field: vpon thy belly shalt thou goe, and dust shalt thou eate, all the dayes of thy life.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmitie betweene thee and the woman, and betweene thy seed and her seed: it shal bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heele.
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorowe and thy conception. In sorow thou shalt bring forth children: and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and hee shall rule ouer thee.
Gen 3:17 And vnto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened vnto the voyce of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commaunded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eate of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake: in sorow shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy life.
Gen 3:18 Thornes also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee: and thou shalt eate the herbe of the field.
Gen 3:19 In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate bread, till thou returne vnto the ground: for out of it wast thou taken, for dust thou art, and vnto dust shalt thou returne.
Gen 3:20 And Adam called his wiues name Eue, because she was the mother of all liuing.
Gen 3:21 Unto Adam also, and to his wife, did the LORD God make coates of skinnes, and cloathed them.
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of vs, to know good & euill. And now lest hee put foorth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eate and liue for euer:
Gen 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him foorth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground, from whence he was taken.
Gen 3:24 So he droue out the man: and he placed at the East of the garden of Eden, Cherubims, and a flaming sword, which turned euery way, to keepe the way of the tree of life.
Gen 4:1 And Adam knew Eue his wife, and shee conceiued, and bare Cain, and said, I haue gotten a man from the LORD.
Gen 4:2 And she againe bare his brother Abel, and Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Gen 4:3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Cain brought of the fruite of the ground, an offering vnto the LORD.
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flocke, and of the fat thereof: and the LORD had respect vnto Abel, and to his offering.
Gen 4:5 But vnto Cain, and to his offring he had not respect: and Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Gen 4:6 And the LORD said vnto Cain, Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen?
Gen 4:7 If thou doe well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: And vnto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
Gen 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to passe when they were in the field, that Cain rose vp against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Gen 4:9 And the LORD said vnto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And hee said, I know not: Am I my brothers keeper?
Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me, from the ground.
Gen 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thy hand.
Gen 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yeeld vnto thee her strength: A fugitiue and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Gen 4:13 And Cain said vnto the LORD, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
Gen 4:14 Behold, thou hast driuen me out this day from the face of the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and I shall be a fugitiue, and a vagabond in the earth: and it shall come to passe, that euery one that findeth me, shall slay me.
Gen 4:15 And the LORD said vnto him, Therefore whosoeuer slayeth Cain, vengeance shalbe taken on him seuen fold. And the LORD set a marke vpon Cain, lest any finding him, should kill him.
Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the East of Eden.
Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceiued and bare Enoch, and hee builded a City, and called the name of the City, after the name of his sonne, Enoch.
Gen 4:18 And vnto Enoch was borne Irad: and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methusael, and Methusael begate Lamech.
Gen 4:19 And Lamech tooke vnto him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Gen 4:20 And Adah bare Iabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as haue cattell.
Gen 4:21 And his brothers name was Iubal: hee was the father of all such as handle the harpe and organ.
Gen 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructer of euery artificer in brasse and iron: and the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
Gen 4:23 And Lamech sayd vnto his wiues, Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, yee wiues of Lamech, hearken vnto my speech: for I haue slaine a man to my wounding, and a yong man to my hurt.
Gen 4:24 If Cain shall bee auenged seuen fold, truely Lamech seuenty and seuen folde.
Gen 4:25 And Adam knew his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, & called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed mee another seed in stead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enos: then began men to call vpon the Name of the LORD.

Gen 7:14 They, and euery beast after his kinde, & all the cattell after their kinde: and euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth after his kinde, and euery foule after his kinde, euery birde of euery sort.
Gen 7:15 And they went in vnto Noah into the Arke, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
Gen 7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commaunded him: and the LORD shut him in.

Gen 8:1 And God remembred Noah, and euery liuing thing, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: and God made a winde to passe ouer the earth, and the waters asswaged.
Gen 8:2 The fountaines also of the deepe, and the windowes of heauen were stopped, and the raine from heauen was restrained.
Gen 8:3 And the waters returned from off the earth, continually: and after the end of the hundred and fiftie dayes, the waters were abated.
Gen 8:4 And the Arke rested in the seuenth moneth, on the seuenteenth day of the moneth, vpon the mountaines of Ararat.
Gen 8:5 And the waters decreased continually vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, on the first day of the moneth, were the tops of the mountaines seene.
Gen 8:6 And it came to passe at the end of forty dayes, that Noah opened the window of the Arke which he had made.
Gen 8:7 And he sent forth a Rauen, which went foorth to and fro, vntill the waters were dried vp from off the earth.
Gen 8:8 Also hee sent foorth a doue from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.
Gen 8:9 But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote, and she returned vnto him into the Arke: for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he put foorth his hand, and tooke her, and pulled her in vnto him, into the Arke.
Gen 8:10 And hee stayed yet other seuen dayes; and againe hee sent foorth the doue out of the Arke.
Gen 8:11 And the doue came in to him in the euening, and loe, in her mouth was an Oliue leafe pluckt off: So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
Gen 8:12 And hee stayed yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.
Gen 8:13 And it came to passe in the sixe hundredth and one yeere, in the first moneth, the first day of the moneth, the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remooued the couering of the Arke, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was drie.
Gen 8:14 And in the second moneth, on the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth, was the earth dried.
Gen 8:15 And God spake vnto Noah, saying,
Gen 8:16 Goe foorth of the Arke, thou, and thy wife, and thy sonnes, and thy sonnes wiues with thee:
Gen 8:17 Bring foorth with thee euery liuing thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowle, and of cattell, and of euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitfull, and multiply vpon the earth.
Gen 8:18 And Noah went foorth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him:
Gen 8:19 Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery fowle, and whatsoeuer creepeth vpon the earth, after their kinds, went foorth out of the Arke.
Gen 8:20 And Noah builded an Altar vnto the LORD, and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane fowle, and offred burnt offrings on the Altar.
Gen 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweete sauour, and the LORD said in his heart, I will not againe curse the ground any more for mans sake; for the imagination of mans heart is euil from his youth: neither will I againe smite any more euery thing liuing, as I haue done.
Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seed-time and haruest, and cold, and heat, and Summer, and Winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
Gen 9:1 And God blessed Noah, and his sonnes, and said vnto them, Bee fruitfull and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Gen 9:2 And the feare of you, & the dread of you shall be vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery fowle of the aire, vpon all that mooueth vpon the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they deliuered.
Gen 9:3 Euery mouing thing that liueth, shalbe meat for you; euen as the greene herbe haue I giuen you all things.
Gen 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall you not eate.
Gen 9:5 And surely your blood of your liues will I require: at the hand of euery beast will I require it, & at the hand of man, at the hand of euery mans brother will I require the life of man.
Gen 9:6 Who so sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Gen 9:7 And you, be ye fruitfull, and multiply, bring foorth aboundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Gen 9:8 And God spake vnto Noah, and to his sonnes with him, saying;
Gen 9:9 And I, behold, I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you:
Gen 9:10 And with euery liuing creature that is with you, of the fowle, of the cattell, and of euery beast of the earth with you, from all that goe out of the Arke, to euery beast of the earth.
Gen 9:11 And I wil establish my couenant with you, neither shal all flesh be cut off any more, by the waters of a flood, neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Gen 9:12 And God said, This is the token of the Couenant which I make betweene mee and you, and euery liuing creature that is with you, for perpetuall generations.
Gen 9:13 I doe set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a couenant, betweene me and the earth.
Gen 9:14 And it shall come to passe, when I bring a cloud ouer the earth, that the bow shall be seene in the cloud.
Gen 9:15 And I will remember my couenant, which is betweene mee and you, and euery liuing creature of all flesh: and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Gen 9:16 And the bow shalbe in the cloud; and I will looke vpon it, that I may remember the euerlasting couenant betweene God and euery liuing creature, of all flesh that is vpon the earth.
Gen 9:17 And God said vnto Noah, This is the token of the couenant, which I haue established betweene mee and all flesh, that is vpon the earth.
Gen 9:18 And the sonnes of Noah that went forth of the Arke, were Shem, and Ham, and Iaphet: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Gen 9:19 These are the three sonnes of Noah: and of them was the whole earth ouerspread.
Gen 9:20 And Noah began to bee an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
Gen 9:21 And he dranke of the wine, and was drunken, and hee was vncouered within his tent.
Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakednesse of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Gen 9:23 And Shem and Iaphet tooke a garment, and layed it vpon both their shoulders, and went backward, and couered the nakednesse of their father, and their faces were backward, and they saw not their fathers nakednesse.
Gen 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him.
Gen 9:25 And he said, Cursed bee Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall hee be vnto his brethren.
Gen 9:26 And hee saide, Blessed bee the LORD God of Shem, and Canaan shalbe his seruant.
Gen 9:27 God shall enlarge Iaphet, and he shal dwel in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shalbe his seruant.
Gen 9:28 And Noah liued after the flood, three hundred and fifty yeeres.
Gen 9:29 And all the dayes of Noah were nine hundred & fifty yeeres, and he died.
Gen 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sonnes of Noah; Shem, Ham, and Iaphet: and vnto them were sonnes borne after the Flood.
Gen 10:2 The sonnes of Iaphet: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Iauan, & Tubal, and Meshech, & Tiras.
Gen 10:3 And the sonnes of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gen 10:4 And the sons of Iauan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Gen 10:5 By these were the Iles of the Gentiles diuided in their lands, euery one after his tongue: after their families, in their nations.
Gen 10:6 And the sonnes of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
Gen 10:7 And the sonnes of Cush, Seba, and Hauilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sonnes of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.
Gen 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is saide, Euen as Nimrod the mightie hunter before the LORD.
Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdome was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Gen 10:11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineueh, and the citie Rehoboth, and Calah,
Gen 10:12 And Resen betweene Nineueh and Calah: the same is a great citie.
Gen 10:13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
Gen 10:14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim (out of whome came Philistiim) and Caphtorim.
Gen 10:15 And Canaan begate Sidon his first borne, and Heth,
Gen 10:16 And the Iebusite, and the Emorite, and the Girgasite,
Gen 10:17 And the Hiuite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Gen 10:18 And the Aruadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
Gen 10:19 And the border of the Canaanites, was from Sidon, as thou commest to Gerar, vnto Gaza, as thou goest vnto Sodoma and Gomorah, and Admah, & Zeboim, euen vnto Lasha.
Gen 10:20 These are the sonnes of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Gen 10:21 Unto Shem also the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Iaphet the elder, euen to him were children borne.
Gen 10:22 The children of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Gen 10:23 And the children of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Gen 10:24 And Arphaxad begate Salah, and Salah begate Eber.
Gen 10:25 And vnto Eber were borne two sonnes: the name of one was Peleg, for in his dayes was the earth diuided, and his brothers name was Ioktan.
Gen 10:26 And Ioktan begate Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaueth, and Ierah,
Gen 10:27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Gen 10:28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Gen 10:29 And Ophir, and Hauilah, & Iobab: all these were the sonnes of Ioktan.
Gen 10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest vnto Sephar, a mount of the East.
Gen 10:31 These are the sonnes of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands after their nations.
Gen 10:32 These are the families of the sonnes of Noah after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations diuided in the earth after the Flood.
Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speach.
Gen 11:2 And it came to passe as they iourneyed from the East, that they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
Gen 11:3 And they sayd one to another; Goe to, let vs make bricke, and burne them thorowly. And they had bricke for stone, and slime had they for morter.
Gen 11:4 And they said; Goe to, let vs build vs a city and a tower, whose top may reach vnto heauen, and let vs make vs a name, lest we be scattered abroad vpon the face of the whole earth.
Gen 11:5 And the LORD came downe to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Gen 11:6 And the LORD said; Behold, the people is one, and they haue all one language: and this they begin to doe: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they haue imagined to doe.
Gen 11:7 Goe to, let vs go downe, and there cofound their language, that they may not vnderstand one anothers speech.
Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence, vpon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the Citie.
Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad vpon the face of all the earth.
Gen 11:10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was an hundred yeres old, and begate Arphaxad two yeeres after the Flood.
Gen 11:11 And Shem liued, after he begate Arphaxad, fiue hundred yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Gen 11:12 And Arphaxad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Salah.
Gen 11:13 And Arphaxad liued, after he begate Salah, foure hundred and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Gen 11:14 And Salah liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Eber.
Gen 11:15 And Salah liued, after hee begate Eber, foure hundred and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Gen 11:16 And Eber liued foure and thirty yeeres, and begate Peleg.
Gen 11:17 And Eber liued, after hee begate Peleg, foure hundred and thirtie yeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Gen 11:18 And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.
Gen 11:19 And Peleg liued, after hee begate Reu, two hundred and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Gen 11:20 And Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
Gen 11:21 And Reu liued, after hee begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Gen 11:22 And Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
Gen 11:23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundred yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
Gen 11:24 And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
Gen 11:25 And Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundred & nineteene yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Gen 11:26 And Terah liued seuenty yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, & Haran.
Gen 11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: And Haran begate Lot.
Gen 11:28 And Haran died, before his father Terah in the land of his natiuity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Gen 11:29 And Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues: the name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Gen 11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no childe.
Gen 11:31 And Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife, and they went foorth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to goe into the land of Canaan: and they came vnto Haran, and dwelt there.
Gen 11:32 And the dayes of Terah, were two hundred and fiue yeres: and Terah died in Haran.
Gen 12:1 Now the LORD had said vnto Abram, Get thee out of thy countrey, and from thy kinred, and from thy fathers house, vnto a land that I will shew thee.
Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I wil blesse thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt bee a blessing.
Gen 12:3 And I will blesse them that blesse thee, and curse him, that curseth thee: and in thee shal all families of the earth be blessed.
Gen 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken vnto him, and Lot went with him: And Abram was seuentie and fiue yeeres old when he departed out of Haran.
Gen 12:5 And Abram tooke Sarai his wife, and Lot his brothers sonne, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the soules that they had gotten in Haran, and they went foorth to goe into the land of Canaan: and into the land of Canaan they came.
Gen 12:6 And Abram passed through the land, vnto the place of Sichem, vnto the plaine of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Gen 12:7 And the LORD appeared vnto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed wil I giue this land: and there builded hee an altar vnto the LORD, who appeared vnto him.
Gen 12:8 And he remoued from thence vnto a mountaine, on the East of Beth-el, and pitched his tent hauing Beth-el on the West, and Hai on the East: and there hee builded an altar vnto the LORD, and called vpon the Name of the LORD.
Gen 12:9 And Abram iourneyed, going on still toward the South.
Gen 12:10 And there was a famine in the land, and Abram went downe into Egypt, to soiourne there: for the famine was grieuous in the land.
Gen 12:11 And it came to passe when he was come neere to enter into Egypt, that he said vnto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a faire woman to looke vpon.
Gen 12:12 Therefore it shall come to passe, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will saue thee aliue.
Gen 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be wel with me, for thy sake; and my soule shall liue, because of thee.
Gen 12:14 And it came to passe, that when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that shee was very faire.
Gen 12:15 The Princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaohs house.
Gen 12:16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheepe, and oxen, and hee asses, and men seruants, and maid seruants, and shee asses, and camels.
Gen 12:17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh & his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abrams wife.
Gen 12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done vnto me? Why diddest thou not tell me, that she was thy wife?
Gen 12:19 Why saidest thou, Shee is my sister? so I might haue taken her to mee to wife: now therfore behold, thy wife, take her and goe thy way.
Gen 12:20 And Pharaoh comanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Gen 13:1 And Abram went vp out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
Gen 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer, and in gold.
Gen 13:3 And hee went on his iourneyes from the South, euen to Beth-el, vnto the place where his tent had bene at the beginning, betweene Beth-el and Hai:
Gen 13:4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the LORD.
Gen 13:5 And Lot also which went with Abram, had flocks and heards, & tents.
Gen 13:6 And the land was not able to beare them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
Gen 13:7 And there was a strife betweene the heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lots cattell: And the Canaanite, and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
Gen 13:8 And Abram said vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene mee and thee, and betweene my heardmen and thy heardmen: for wee bee brethren.
Gen 13:9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thy selfe, I pray thee, from mee: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will goe to the left.
Gen 13:10 And Lot lifted vp his eyes, and beheld all the plaine of Iordane, that it was well watered euery where before the Lord destroyed Sodome and Gomorah, euen as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou commest vnto Zoar.
Gen 13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plaine of Iordane: and Lot iourneyed East; and they separated themselues the one from the other.
Gen 13:12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent toward Sodome.
Gen 13:13 But the men of Sodome were wicked, and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Gen 13:14 And the LORD said vnto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift vp now thine eyes, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastward, and Westward.
Gen 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seede for euer.
Gen 13:16 And I will make thy seede as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbred.
Gen 13:17 Arise, walke through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it: for I will giue it vnto thee.
Gen 13:18 Then Abram remoued his tent, and came and dwelt in the plaine of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar vnto the LORD.
Gen 14:1 And it came to passe in the dayes of Amraphel King of Shinar, Arioch King of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer King of Elam, and Tidal King of nations:
Gen 14:2 That these made warre with Bera King of Sodome, and with Birsha King of Gomorrah, Shinab King of Admah, and Shemeber King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela, which is Zoar.
Gen 14:3 All these were ioyned together in the vale of Siddim; which is the salt Sea.
Gen 14:4 Twelue yeeres they serued Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth yeere they rebelled.
Gen 14:5 And in the fourteenth yeere came Chedorlaomer, and the Kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims, in Ashteroth Karnaim, & the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaueh Kiriathaim;
Gen 14:6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, vnto El-Paran, which is by the wildernesse.
Gen 14:7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, & smote all the countrey of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.
Gen 14:8 And there went out the King of Sodome, and the King of Gomorrah, and the King of Admah, and the King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela, (the same is Zoar) and they ioyned battell with them, in the vale of Siddim,
Gen 14:9 With Chedorlaomer the King of Elam, and with Tidal King of nations, and Amraphel King of Shinar, and Arioch King of Ellasar; foure Kings with fiue.
Gen 14:10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slime-pits: and the Kings of Sodome & Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained, fled to the mountaine.
Gen 14:11 And they tooke all the goods of Sodome and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
Gen 14:12 And they tooke Lot, Abrams brothers sonne, (who dwelt in Sodome) and his goods, and departed.
Gen 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew, for hee dwelt in the plaine of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
Gen 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captiue, he armed his trained seruants borne in his owne house, three hundred and eighteene, and pursued them vnto Dan.
Gen 14:15 And hee diuided himselfe against them, he and his seruants by night, and smote them, and pursued them vnto Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus:
Gen 14:16 And hee brought backe all the goods, and also brought againe his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Gen 14:17 And the king of Sodome went out to meete him, (after his returne from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the Kings that were with him) at the valley of Saueh, which is the Kings dale.
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek King of Salem brought foorth bread and wine: and he was the Priest of the most high God.
Gen 14:19 And hee blessed him, and saide; Blessed bee Abram of the most high God, possessour of heauen and earth,
Gen 14:20 And blessed bee the most high God, which hath deliuered thine enemies into thy hand: and hee gaue him tithes of all.
Gen 14:21 And the King of Sodome said vnto Abram, giue me the persons, and take the goods to thy selfe.
Gen 14:22 And Abram said to the King of Sodome, I haue lift vp my hand vnto the LORD, the most high God, the possessour of heauen and earth,
Gen 14:23 That I wil not take from a threed euen to a shoe latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I haue made Abram rich:
Gen 14:24 Saue onely that which the yong men haue eaten, and the portion of the men which went with mee, Aner, Eschol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
Gen 15:1 After these things, the word of the LORD came vnto Abram in a vision, saying; Feare not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
Gen 15:2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou giue me, seeing I goe childlesse? and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.
Gen 15:3 And Abram said; Behold, to mee thou hast given no seed: and loe, one borne in my house is mine heire.
Gen 15:4 And behold, the word of the LORD came vnto him, saying; This shall not be thine heire: but he that shall come foorth out of thy owne bowels, shalbe thine heire.
Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Looke now towards heauen, and tell the starres, if thou be able to number them. And hee said vnto him, So shall thy seed be.
Gen 15:6 And he beleeued in the LORD; and hee counted it to him for righteousnesse.
Gen 15:7 And he said vnto him; I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Caldees, to give thee this land, to inherit it.
Gen 15:8 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shal I know that I shall inherit it?
Gen 15:9 And he said vnto him, Take me an heifer of three yeeres old, and a shee goat of three yeeres old, and a ramme of three yeeres old, and a turtle doue, and a yong pigeon.
Gen 15:10 And he tooke vnto him all these, and diuided them in the midst, and layd each peece one against another: but the birds diuided he not.
Gen 15:11 And when the fowles came downe vpon the carcases, Abram droue them away.
Gen 15:12 And when the Sunne was going downe, a deepe sleepe fell vpon Abram: and loe, an horrour of great darkenesse fell vpon him.
Gen 15:13 And he said vnto Abram, Know of a surety, that thy seed shalbe a stranger, in a land that is not theirs, and shal serue them, and they shall afflict them foure hundred yeeres.
Gen 15:14 And also that nation whom they shall serue, wil I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Gen 15:15 And thou shalt goe to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
Gen 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the iniquitie of the Amorites is not yet full.
Gen 15:17 And it came to passe that when the Sunne went downe, and it was darke, behold, a smoking furnace, and a burning lampe that passed betweene those pieces.
Gen 15:18 In that same day the LORD made a couenant with Abram, saying; Unto thy seed haue I giuen this land from the riuer of Egypt vnto the great riuer, the riuer Euphrates:
Gen 15:19 The Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites:
Gen 15:20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Gen 15:21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
Gen 16:1 Now Sarai Abrams wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaide, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Gen 16:2 And Sarai said vnto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee go in vnto my maid: it may bee that I may obtaine children by her: and Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Gen 16:3 And Sarai Abrams wife, tooke Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten yeeres in the land of Canaan, and gaue her to her husband Abram, to be his wife.
Gen 16:4 And he went in vnto Hagar, and she conceiued: And when shee saw that shee had conceiued, her mistresse was despised in her eyes.
Gen 16:5 And Sarai said vnto Abram, My wrong be vpon thee: I haue giuen my maid into thy bosome, and when shee saw that she had conceiued, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD iudge betweene me and thee.
Gen 16:6 But Abram said vnto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; doe to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, shee fled from her face.
Gen 16:7 And the Angel of the LORD found her by a fountaine of water, in the wildernesse, by the fountaine, in the way to Shur:
Gen 16:8 And he said, Hagar Sarais maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou goe? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistresse Sarai.
Gen 16:9 And the Angel of the LORD said vnto her, Returne to thy mistresse, and submit thy selfe vnder her hands.
Gen 16:10 And the Angel of the LORD said vnto her, I will multiply thy seede exceedingly, that it shall not be numbred for multitude.
Gen 16:11 And the Angel of the LORD said vnto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
Gen 16:12 And he will be a wilde man; his hand will be against euery man, and euery mans hand against him: & he shal dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Gen 16:13 And shee called the name of the LORD that spake vnto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Haue I also here looked after him that seeth me?
Gen 16:14 Wherefore the well was called, Beer-lahai-roi: Behold, It is betweene Cadesh and Bered.
Gen 16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a sonne: and Abram called his sonnes name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
Gen 16:16 And Abram was fourescore and sixe yeeres old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
Gen 17:1 And when Abram was ninetie yeres old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said vnto him, I am the almightie God, walke before me, and be thou perfect.
Gen 17:2 And I wil make my couenant betweene me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
Gen 17:3 And Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
Gen 17:4 As for me, behold, my couenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
Gen 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall bee Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made thee.
Gen 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitfull, and I will make nations of thee, and Kings shall come out of thee.
Gen 17:7 And I will establish my couenant betweene me and thee, and thy seede after thee, in their generations for an euerlasting couenant, to bee a God vnto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Gen 17:8 And I will giue vnto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an euerlasting possession, and I will be their God.
Gen 17:9 And God said vnto Abraham, Thou shalt keepe my couenant therefore, thou, and thy seede after thee, in their generations.
Gen 17:10 This is my couenant, which yee shall keepe betweene me and you, and thy seed after thee: euery man child among you shall be circumcised.
Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskinne; and it shal be a token of the couenant betwixt me and you.
Gen 17:12 And he that is eight dayes olde, shalbe circumcised among you, euery man child in your generations, he that is borne in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
Gen 17:13 He that is borne in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my couenant shall be in your flesh, for an euerlasting couenant.
Gen 17:14 And the vncircumcised man-child, whose flesh of his foreskinne is not circumcised, that soule shall be cut off from his people: hee hath broken my couenant.
Gen 17:15 And God said vnto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
Gen 17:16 And I will blesse her, and giue thee a sonne also of her: yea I wil blesse her, and she shalbe a mother of nations; Kings of people shall be of her.
Gen 17:17 Then Abraham fell vpon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be borne vnto him that is an hundred yeeres old? and shal Sarah that is ninetie yeeres old, beare?
Gen 17:18 And Abraham said vnto God, O that Ishmael might liue before thee.
Gen 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall beare thee a sonne in deede, and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my couenant with him, for an euerlasting couenant, and with his seed after him.
Gen 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I haue heard thee: behold, I haue blessed him, and will make him fruitfull, and will multiplie him exceedingly: Twelue princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Gen 17:21 But my couenant wil I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall beare vnto thee, at this set time, in the next yeere.
Gen 17:22 And he left off talking with him, and God went vp from Abraham.
Gen 17:23 And Abraham tooke Ishmael his sonne, and all that were borne in his house, and all that were bought with his money, euery male, among the men of Abrahams house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskinne, in the selfesame day, as God had said vnto him.
Gen 17:24 And Abraham was ninety yeeres old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskinne.
Gen 17:25 And Ishmael his sonne was thirteene yeeres old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskinne.
Gen 17:26 In the selfe same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his sonne.
Gen 17:27 And all the men of his house, borne in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Gen 18:1 And the LORD appeared vnto him, in the plaines of Mamre: and he sate in the tent doore, in the heat of the day.
Gen 18:2 And he lift vp his eyes and looked, and loe, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, hee ranne to meete them from the tent doore, and bowed himselfe toward the ground,
Gen 18:3 And said, My Lord, If now I haue found fauour in thy sight, passe not away, I pray thee, fro thy seruant:
Gen 18:4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feete, and rest your selues vnder the tree:
Gen 18:5 And I will fetch a morsell of bread; and comfort ye your hearts, after that you shall passe on: for therefore are you come to your seruant. And they said; So doe, as thou hast said.
Gen 18:6 And Abraham hastened into the tent, vnto Sarah, & said; Make ready quickly three measures of fine meale, knead it, and make cakes vpon the hearth.
Gen 18:7 And Abraham ranne vnto the heard, and fetcht a calfe, tender and good, and gaue it vnto a yong man: and he hasted to dresse it.
Gen 18:8 And he tooke butter, and milke, and the calfe which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them vnder the tree: and they did eate.
Gen 18:9 And they said vnto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Gen 18:10 And he said, I will certainly returne vnto thee according to the time of life; and loe, Sarah thy wife shall haue a sonne. And Sarah heard it in the tent doore, which was behind him.
Gen 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age: and it ceased to be with Sarah after the maner of women.
Gen 18:12 Therefore Sarah laughed within her selfe, saying, After I am waxed old, shall I haue pleasure, my lord being old also?
Gen 18:13 And the LORD said vnto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying; Shall I of a surety beare a childe, which am old?
Gen 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed will I returne vnto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall haue a sonne.
Gen 18:15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not: for she was afraid. And he said, Nay, but thou diddest laugh.
Gen 18:16 And the men rose vp from thence, and looked toward Sodome: and Abraham went with them, to bring them on the way.
Gen 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I doe;
Gen 18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Gen 18:19 For I know him, that hee will command his children, and his household after him, and they shall keepe the way of the LORD, to doe iustice and iudgement, that the LORD may bring vpon Abraham, that which hee hath spoken of him.
Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodome and Gomorrah is great, and because their sinne is very grieuous:
Gen 18:21 I will goe downe now, and see whether they haue done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come vnto me: and if not, I will know.
Gen 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodome: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Gen 18:23 And Abraham drew neere, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Gen 18:24 Peraduenture there be fifty righteous within the citie; wilt thou also destroy, and not spare the place for the fiftie righteous, that are therein?
Gen 18:25 That be farre from thee, to do after this maner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be farre from thee: Shall not the Iudge of all the earth doe right?
Gen 18:26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fiftie righteous, within the citie, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
Gen 18:27 And Abraham answered, and said, Behold now, I haue taken vpon me to speake vnto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes.
Gen 18:28 Peraduenture there shall lacke fiue of the fiftie righteous: wilt thou destroy all the citie for lacke of fiue? And he said, If I find there fourtie and fiue, I will not destroy it.
Gen 18:29 And hee spake vnto him yet againe, and said, Peraduenture there shall be fourtie found there: and he said, I will not doe it for fourties sake.
Gen 18:30 And he said vnto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speake: Peraduenture there shall thirtie bee found there. And he said, I will not doe it, if I find thirtie there.
Gen 18:31 And he said, Behold now, I haue taken vpon mee to speake vnto the Lord: Peraduenture there shall bee twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenties sake.
Gen 18:32 And hee saide, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speake yet but this once: Peraduenture ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for tennes sake.
Gen 18:33 And the LORD went his way, assoone as hee had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned vnto his place.
Gen 19:1 And there came two Angels to Sodome at euen, and Lot sate in the gate of Sodome: and Lot seeing them, rose vp to meet them, and he bowed himselfe with his face toward the ground.
Gen 19:2 And he said, Beholde now my Lords, turne in, I pray you, into your seruants house, and tarie all night, and wash your feete, and ye shall rise vp early and goe on your wayes. And they said, Nay: but we wil abide in the street all night.
Gen 19:3 And he pressed vpon them greatly, and they turned in vnto him, and entred into his house: and he made them a feast, and did bake vnleauened bread, and they did eate.
Gen 19:4 But before they lay downe, the men of the citie, euen the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and yong, all the people from euery quarter.
Gen 19:5 And they called vnto Lot, and said vnto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out vnto vs, that we may know them.
Gen 19:6 And Lot went out at the doore vnto them, & shut the doore after him,
Gen 19:7 And said, I pray you, brethren, doe not so wickedly.
Gen 19:8 Behold now, I haue two daughters, which haue not knowen man; let mee, I pray you, bring them out vnto you, and doe ye to them, as is good in your eyes: onely vnto these men do nothing: for therefore came they vnder the shadow of my roofe.
Gen 19:9 And they said, Stand backe. And they said againe, This one fellow came in to soiourne, and he will needs bee a Iudge: Now wil we deale worse with thee, then with them. And they pressed sore vpon the man, euen Lot, and came neere to breake the doore.
Gen 19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the doore.
Gen 19:11 And they smote the men that were at the doore of the house, with blindnes, both small and great: so that they wearied themselues to finde the doore.
Gen 19:12 And the men said vnto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? sonne in law, and thy sonnes, and thy daughters, and whatsoeuer thou hast in the citie, bring them out of this place.
Gen 19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the crie of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD: and the LORD hath sent vs to destroy it.
Gen 19:14 And Lot went out, and spake vnto his sonnes in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get yee out of this place: for the LORD wil destroy this citie: but hee seemed as one that mocked, vnto his sonnes in law.
Gen 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the Angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, & thy two daughters, which are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquitie of the citie.
Gen 19:16 And while he lingred, the men laid hold vpon his hand, and vpon the hand of his wife, and vpon the hand of his two daughters, the LORD being mercifull vnto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the citie.
Gen 19:17 And it came to passe, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life, looke not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plaine: escape to the mountaine, lest thou bee consumed.
Gen 19:18 And Lot said vnto them, Oh not so, my Lord.
Gen 19:19 Beholde now, thy seruant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed vnto me, in sauing my life, and I cannot escape to the mountaine, lest some euill take me, and I die.
Gen 19:20 Behold now, this citie is neere to flee vnto, and it is a litle one: Oh let me escape thither, (is it not a litle one?) and my soule shall liue.
Gen 19:21 And he said vnto him, See, I haue accepted thee concerning this thing, that I will not ouerthrow this citie, for the which thou hast spoken.
Gen 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither: for I cannot doe any thing till thou bee come thither: therefore the name of the citie was called Zoar.
Gen 19:23 The sunne was risen vpon the earth, when Lot entred into Zoar.
Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained vpon Sodome & vpon Gomorrah, brimstone and fire, from the LORD out of heauen.
Gen 19:25 And he ouerthrew those cities, and all the plaine, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew vpon the ground.
Gen 19:26 But his wife looked backe from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Gen 19:27 And Abraham gate vp earely in the morning, to the place, where hee stood before the LORD.
Gen 19:28 And he looked toward Sodome and Gomorrah, & toward all the land of the plaine, and beheld, and loe, the smoke of the countrey went vp as the smoke of a furnace.
Gen 19:29 And it came to passe, when God destroyed the cities of the plaine, that God remembred Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the ouerthrow, when he ouerthrew the cities, in the which Lot dwelt.
Gen 19:30 And Lot went vp out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountaine, and his two daughters with him: for hee feared to dwell in Zoar, and he dwelt in a caue, he and his two daughters.
Gen 19:31 And the first borne saide vnto the yonger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth, to come in vnto vs, after the maner of all the earth.
Gen 19:32 Come, let vs make our father drinke wine, and we will lye with him, that we may preserue seed of our father.
Gen 19:33 And they made their father drinke wine that night, & the first borne went in, and lay with her father: and he perceiued not, when shee lay downe, nor when she arose.
Gen 19:34 And it came to passe on the morrow, that the first borne said vnto the yonger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let vs make him drinke wine this night also, and goe thou in, and lye with him, that we may preserue seed of our father.
Gen 19:35 And they made their father drinke wine that night also, and the yonger arose, and lay with him: and he perceiued not, when she lay downe, nor when she arose.
Gen 19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with childe by their father.
Gen 19:37 And the first borne bare a sonne, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites vnto this day.
Gen 19:38 And the yonger, she also bare a sonne, and called his name, Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon, vnto this day.
Gen 20:1 And Abraham iourneyed from thence, toward the South-Countrey, and dwelled betweene Cadesh and Shur, and soiourned in Gerar.
Gen 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: And Abimelech King of Gerar sent, and tooke Sarah.
Gen 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dreame by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken: for shee is a mans wife.
Gen 20:4 But Abimelech had not come neere her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
Gen 20:5 Said he not vnto me, She is my sister? and she, euen she herselfe said, Hee is my brother: in the integritie of my heart, and innocencie of my hands haue I done this.
Gen 20:6 And God saide vnto him in a dreame, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integritie of thy heart: for I also withheld thee from sinning against mee, therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Gen 20:7 Now therefore restore the man his wife: for he is a Prophet, and he shal pray for thee, and thou shalt liue: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Gen 20:8 Therefore Abimelech rose earely in the morning, and called all his seruants, and told all these things in their eares: and the men were sore afraid.
Gen 20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said vnto him, What hast thou done vnto vs? and what haue I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdome a great sinne? thou hast done deeds vnto mee that ought not to be done.
Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Gen 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the feare of God is not in this place: and they will slay mee for my wiues sake.
Gen 20:12 And yet indeed shee is my sister: she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and shee became my wife.
Gen 20:13 And it came to passe when God caused me to wander from my fathers house, that I said vnto her, This is thy kindnesse which thou shalt shew vnto me; at euery place whither wee shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Gen 20:14 And Abimelech tooke sheepe and oxen, and men-seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Gen 20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee; dwel where it pleaseth thee.
Gen 20:16 And vnto Sarah hee said, Behold, I haue giuen thy brother a thousand pieces of siluer: behold, he is to thee a couering of the eyes, vnto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus shee was reproued.
Gen 20:17 So Abraham prayed vnto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-seruants, and they bare children.
Gen 20:18 For the LORD had fast closed vp all the wombes of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abrahams wife.
Gen 21:1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did vnto Sarah as he had spoken.
Gen 21:2 For Sarah conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his old age, at the set time, of which God had spoken to him.
Gen 21:3 And Abraham called the name of his sonne, that was borne vnto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
Gen 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his sonne Isaac, being eight dayes old, as God had commanded him.
Gen 21:5 And Abraham was an hundred yeeres old, when his sonne Isaac was borne vnto him.
Gen 21:6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that heare, will laugh with me.
Gen 21:7 And she said, Who would haue said vnto Abraham, that Sarah should haue giuen children sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in his old age.
Gen 21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast, the same day that Isaac was weaned.
Gen 21:9 And Sarah saw the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian, which shee had borne vnto Abraham, mocking.
Gen 21:10 Wherfore she said vnto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman, and her sonne: for the sonne of this bond woman shall not be heire with my sonne, euen with Isaac.
Gen 21:11 And the thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.
Gen 21:12 And God said vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond woman. In all that Sarah hath said vnto thee, hearken vnto her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Gen 21:13 And also, of the sonne of the bond woman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Gen 21:14 And Abraham rose vp earely in the morning, and tooke bread, and a bottle of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, (putting it on her shoulder,) and the child, and sent her away: and shee departed, and wandered in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba.
Gen 21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and shee cast the child vnder one of the shrubs.
Gen 21:16 And she went, and sate her downe ouer against him, a good way off, as it were a bow shoot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And shee sate ouer against him, and lift vp her voice, and wept.
Gen 21:17 And God heard the voice of the lad, and the Angel of God called to Hagar out of heauen, and said vnto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? feare not: for God hath heard the voice of the ladde, where he is.
Gen 21:18 Arise, lift vp the lad, and hold him in thine hand: for I will make him a great nation.
Gen 21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and shee went, and filled the bottle with water, and gaue the lad drinke.
Gen 21:20 And God was with the lad, and he grew, and dwelt in the wildernesse, and became an archer.
Gen 21:21 And hee dwelt in the wildernesse of Paran: and his mother tooke him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Gen 21:22 And it came to passe at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chiefe captaine of his hoste spake vnto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
Gen 21:23 Now therefore sweare vnto mee here by God, that thou wilt not deale falsly with me, nor with my sonne, nor with my sonnes sonne: but according to the kindnesse that I haue done vnto thee, thou shalt doe vnto me, and to the land wherein thou hast soiourned.
Gen 21:24 And Abraham saide, I will sweare.
Gen 21:25 And Abraham reproued Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken away.
Gen 21:26 And Abimelech saide, I wote not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
Gen 21:27 And Abraham tooke sheepe and oxen, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and both of them made a couenant.
Gen 21:28 And Abraham set seuen ewe lambes of the flocke by themselues.
Gen 21:29 And Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen ewe lambes, which thou hast set by themselues?
Gen 21:30 And he said, For these seuen ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witnesse vnto me, that I haue digged this well.
Gen 21:31 Wherefore he called that place, Beer-sheba: because there they sware both of them.
Gen 21:32 Thus they made a couenant at Beeer-sheba: then Abimelech rose vp, and Phichol the chiefe captaine of his hoste, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Gen 21:33 And Abraham planted a groue in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of the LORD, the euerlasting God.
Gen 21:34 And Abraham soiourned in the Philistines land, many dayes.
Gen 22:1 And it came to passe after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. And hee said, Beholde, heere I am.
Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy sonne, thine onely sonne Isaac, whom thou louest, and get thee into the land of Moriah: and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the Mountaines which I will tell thee of.
Gen 22:3 And Abraham rose vp earely in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his yong men with him, and Isaac his sonne, and claue the wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp, and went vnto the place of which God had told him.
Gen 22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and saw the place afarre off.
Gen 22:5 And Abraham said vnto his yong men, Abide you here with the asse, and I and the lad will goe yonder and worship, and come againe to you.
Gen 22:6 And Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layd it vpon Isaac his sonne: and he tooke the fire in his hand, and a knife: and they went both of them together.
Gen 22:7 And Isaac spake vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my sonne. And hee said, Behold the fire and wood: but where is the lambe for a burnt offring?
Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My sonne, God will prouide himselfe a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Gen 22:9 And they came to the place which God had tolde him of, and Abraham built an Altar there, and layd the wood in order, and bound Isaac his sonne, and layde him on the Altar vpon the wood.
Gen 22:10 And Abraham stretched foorth his hand, and tooke the knife to slay his sonne.
Gen 22:11 And the Angel of the LORD called vnto him out of heauen, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here am I.
Gen 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand vpon the lad, neither do thou any thing vnto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withhelde thy sonne, thine onely sonne from mee.
Gen 22:13 And Abraham lifted vp his eyes, and looked, and beholde, behinde him a Ramme caught in a thicket by his hornes: And Abraham went and tooke the Ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering, in the stead of his sonne.
Gen 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Iehouah-ijreh, as it is said to this day, In the Mount of the LORD it shalbe seene.
Gen 22:15 And the Angel of the LORD called vnto Abraham out of heauen the second time,
Gen 22:16 And said, By my selfe haue I sworne, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy sonne, thine onely sonne,
Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will blesse thee, and in multiplying, I will multiply thy seed as the starres of the heauen, and as the sand which is vpon the sea shore, and thy seed shall possesse the gate of his enemies.
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Gen 22:19 So Abraham returned vnto his yong men, and they rose vp, and went together to Beer-sheba, and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Gen 22:20 And it came to passe after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold Milcah, shee hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor,
Gen 22:21 Huz his first borne, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Gen 22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Iidlaph, and Bethuel.
Gen 22:23 And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight Milcah did beare to Nahor, Abrahams brother.
Gen 22:24 And his concubine whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Gen 23:1 And Sarah was an hundred and seuen and twenty yeeres olde: these were the yeeres of the life of Sarah.
Gen 23:2 And Sarah died in Kiriath arba, the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: And Abraham came to mourne for Sarah, and to weepe for her.
Gen 23:3 And Abraham stood vp from before his dead, & spake vnto the sonnes of Heth, saying,
Gen 23:4 I am a stranger and a soiourner with you: giue me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
Gen 23:5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Gen 23:6 Heare vs, my Lord, thou art a mightie Prince amongst vs: in the choise of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of vs shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
Gen 23:7 And Abraham stood vp and bowed himselfe to the people of the land, euen to the children of Heth.
Gen 23:8 And hee communed with them, saying, if it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, heare me, and entreat for me to Ephron the sonne of Zohar:
Gen 23:9 That he may giue me the caue of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field: for as much money as it is worth he shall giue it mee, for a possession of a burying place amongst you.
Gen 23:10 And Ephron dwelt amongst the children of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie, saying,
Gen 23:11 Nay, my lord, heare mee: the field giue I thee, and the caue that is therein, I giue it thee, in the presence of the sonnes of my people giue I it thee: bury thy dead.
Gen 23:12 And Abraham bowed downe himselfe before the people of the land.
Gen 23:13 And he spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt giue it, I pray thee, heare mee: I will giue thee money for the field: take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
Gen 23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Gen 23:15 My lord, hearken vnto mee: the land is worth foure hundred shekels of siluer: what is that betwixt mee and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
Gen 23:16 And Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and Abraham weighed to Ephron the siluer, which he had named, in the audience of the sonnes of Heth, foure hundred shekels of siluer, currant money with the merchant.
Gen 23:17 And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the fielde and the caue which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
Gen 23:18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gates of his Citie.
Gen 23:19 And after this Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the caue of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
Gen 23:20 And the field, and the caue that is therein, were made sure vnto Abraham, for a possession of a burying place, by the sonnes of Heth.
Gen 24:1 And Abraham was olde and well stricken in age: And the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Gen 24:2 And Abraham said vnto his eldest seruant of his house, that ruled ouer all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand vnder my thigh:
Gen 24:3 And I will make thee sweare by the LORD the God of heauen, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife vnto my sonne of the daughters of the Canaanites amongst whom I dwell.
Gen 24:4 But thou shalt go vnto my countrey, and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sonne Isaac.
Gen 24:5 And the seruant said vnto him, Peraduenture the woman will not bee willing to follow mee vnto this land: must I needes bring thy sonne againe, vnto the land from whence thou camest?
Gen 24:6 And Abraham said vnto him, Beware thou, that thou bring not my sonne thither againe.
Gen 24:7 The LORD God of heauen which tooke mee from my fathers house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake vnto mee, and that sware vnto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I giue this land, he shall send his Angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife vnto my sonne from thence.
Gen 24:8 And if the woman wil not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt bee cleare from this my othe: onely bring not my sonne thither againe.
Gen 24:9 And the seruant put his hand vnder the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
Gen 24:10 And the seruant tooke ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed, ( for all the goods of his master were in his hand) and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, vnto the citie of Nahor.
Gen 24:11 And he made his camels to kneele downe without the citie, by a well of water, at the time of the euening, euen the time that women goe out to draw water.
Gen 24:12 And he said, O LORD, God of my master Abraham, I pray thee send me good speed this day, and shew kindnesse vnto my master Abraham.
Gen 24:13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the Citie come out to draw water:
Gen 24:14 And let it come to passe, that the damsell to whom I shall say, Let downe thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drinke, and she shall say, Drinke, and I will giue thy camels drinke also; let the same be shee that thou hast appointed for thy seruant Isaac: and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindnesse vnto my master.
Gen 24:15 And it came to passe before hee had done speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was borne to Bethuel, sonne of Milcah, the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother, with her pitcher vpon her shoulder.
Gen 24:16 And the damsell was very faire to looke vpon, a virgine, neither had any man knowen her; and shee went downe to the wel, and filled her pitcher, and came vp.
Gen 24:17 And the seruant ranne to meete her, and said, Let mee (I pray thee) drinke a little water of thy pitcher.
Gen 24:18 And she said, Drinke, my lord: and she hasted, and let downe her pitcher vpon her hand, and gaue him drinke.
Gen 24:19 And when shee had done giuing him drinke, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, vntill they haue done drinking.
Gen 24:20 And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ranne againe vnto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
Gen 24:21 And the man wondering at her, helde his peace, to wit, whether the LORD had made his iourney prosperous, or not.
Gen 24:22 And it came to passe as the camels had done drinking, that the man tooke a golden eare-ring, of halfe a shekel weight, & two bracelets for her handes, of ten shekels weight of gold,
Gen 24:23 And said, whose daughter art thou? tell mee, I pray thee: is there roome in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in?
Gen 24:24 And she said vnto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the sonne of Milcah, which she bare vnto Nahor:
Gen 24:25 She said moreouer vnto him, We haue both straw & prouender ynough, and roome to lodge in.
Gen 24:26 And the man bowed downe his head, and worshipped the LORD.
Gen 24:27 And hee saide, Blessed bee the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy, and his trueth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my masters brethren.
Gen 24:28 And the damsell ranne, and told them of her mothers house, these things.
Gen 24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ranne out vnto the man, vnto the well.
Gen 24:30 And it came to passe when he saw the eare-ring, and bracelets vpon his sisters hands, and when hee heard the wordes of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man vnto me, that he came vnto the man; and behold, hee stood by the camels, at the well.
Gen 24:31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD, wherefore standest thou without? for I haue prepared the house, and roome for the camels.
Gen 24:32 And the man came into the house: and he vngirded his camels, and gaue straw and prouender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the mens feet that were with him.
Gen 24:33 And there was set meat before him to eate: but he said, I will not eate, vntill I haue tolde mine errand. And hee said, Speake on.
Gen 24:34 And he said, I am Abrahams seruant.
Gen 24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly, and hee is become great: and hee hath giuen him flocks, and heards, and siluer, and gold, and men seruants, and mayd seruants, and camels, and asses.
Gen 24:36 And Sarah my masters wife bare a sonne to my master when shee was old: and vnto him hath hee giuen all that he hath.
Gen 24:37 And my master made me sweare, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my sonne, of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Gen 24:38 But thou shalt goe vnto my fathers house, and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sonne.
Gen 24:39 And I said vnto my master, Peraduenture the woman will not followe me.
Gen 24:40 And hee saide vnto me, The LORD, before whom I walke, will send his Angel with thee, and prosper thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my sonne, of my kinred, and of my fathers house.
Gen 24:41 Then shalt thou bee cleare from this my oath, when thou commest to my kinred, and if they giue not thee one, thou shalt be cleare from my oath.
Gen 24:42 And I came this day vnto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou doe prosper my way, which I goe:
Gen 24:43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to passe, that when the virgine commeth foorth to draw water, and I say to her, Giue me, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher to drinke;
Gen 24:44 And she say to me, Both drinke thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman, who the LORD hath appointed out for my masters sonne.
Gen 24:45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth, with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went downe vnto the well, and drew water: and I said vnto her, Let me drinke, I pray thee.
Gen 24:46 And she made haste, & let downe her pitcher from her shoulder, and saide, Drinke, and I will giue thy camels drinke also: so I dranke, and she made the camels drinke also.
Gen 24:47 And I asked her, and said, whose daughter art thou? and she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahors sonne, whom Milcah bare vnto him: and I put the earering vpon her face, and the bracelets vpon her hands.
Gen 24:48 And I bowed downe my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led mee in the right way to take my masters brothers daughter vnto his sonne.
Gen 24:49 And now if you wil deale kindly and truely with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me, that I may turne to the right hand, or to the left.
Gen 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speake vnto thee bad or good.
Gen 24:51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and goe, and let her be thy masters sonnes wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
Gen 24:52 And it came to passe, that when Abrahams seruant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himselfe to the earth.
Gen 24:53 And the seruant brought foorth iewels of siluer, and iewels of gold, and raiment, and gaue them to Rebekah: He gaue also to her brother, and to her mother precious things.
Gen 24:54 And they did eate and drinke, he and the men that were with him, and taried all night, and they rose vp in the morning, and he said, Send me away vnto my master.
Gen 24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsell abide with vs a few dayes, at the least ten; after that, she shall goe.
Gen 24:56 And he said vnto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may goe to my master.
Gen 24:57 And they said, wee will call the Damsell, and enquire at her mouth.
Gen 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said vnto her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will goe.
Gen 24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abrahams seruant, and his men.
Gen 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said vnto her, Thou art our sister, bee thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possesse the gate of those which hate them.
Gen 24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, & they rode vpon the camels, and followed the man: and the seruant tooke Rebekah, and went his way.
Gen 24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi, for he dwelt in the South countrey.
Gen 24:63 And Isaac went out, to meditate in the field, at the euentide: and hee lift vp his eyes, and saw, and behold, the camels were comming.
Gen 24:64 And Rebekah lift vp her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
Gen 24:65 For she had said vnto the seruant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet vs? and the seruant had said, It is my master: therefore shee tooke a vaile and couered her selfe.
Gen 24:66 And the seruant tolde Isaac all things that he had done.
Gen 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarahs tent, and tooke Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loued her: and Isaac was comforted after his mothers death.
Gen 25:1 Then againe Abraham tooke a wife, & her name was Keturah.
Gen 25:2 And shee bare him Zimran, and Iokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Gen 25:3 And Iokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sonnes of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Gen 25:4 And the sonnes of Midian, Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah: all these were the children of Keturah.
Gen 25:5 And Abraham gaue all that he had, vnto Isaac.
Gen 25:6 But vnto the sonnes of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gaue gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his sonne (while he yet liued) Eastward, vnto the East country.
Gen 25:7 And these are the dayes of the yeres of Abrahams life which he liued; an hundred, threescore & fifteene yeeres.
Gen 25:8 Then Abraham gaue vp the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of yeeres, and was gathered to his people.
Gen 25:9 And his sonnes Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the caue of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the sonne of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
Gen 25:10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sonnes of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
Gen 25:11 And it came to passe after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his sonne Isaac, and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
Gen 25:12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, whom Hagar the Egyptian Sarahs handmayd, bare vnto Abraham:
Gen 25:13 And these are the names of the sonnes of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations; The first borne of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Gen 25:14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Gen 25:15 Hadar, and Tema, Ietur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Gen 25:16 These are the sonnes of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their townes and by their castels; twelue princes according to their nations.
Gen 25:17 And these are the yeeres of the life of Ishmael; an hundred and thirty and seuen yeeres: and he gaue vp the ghost and died, and was gathered vnto his people.
Gen 25:18 And they dwelt from Hauilah vnto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assyria: and hee died in the presence of all his brethren.
Gen 25:19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abrahams sonne: Abraham begate Isaac.
Gen 25:20 And Isaac was fortie yeeres old when hee tooke Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
Gen 25:21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiued.
Gen 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? and shee went to enquire of the LORD.
Gen 25:23 And the LORD said vnto her, Two nations are in thy wombe, and two maner of people shall be separated from thy bowels: and the one people shalbe stronger then the other people: and the elder shall serue the yonger.
Gen 25:24 And when her dayes to be deliuered were fulfilled, behold, there were twinnes in her wombe.
Gen 25:25 And the first came out red, all ouer like an hairy garment: and they called his name, Esau.
Gen 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand tooke holde on Esaus heele; and his name was called Iacob: and Isaac was threescore yeres old, when shee bare them.
Gen 25:27 And the boyes grew; and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the fielde: and Iacob was a plaine man, dwelling in tents.
Gen 25:28 And Isaac loued Esau, because he did eate of his venison: but Rebekah loued Iacob.
Gen 25:29 And Iacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and hee was faint.
Gen 25:30 And Esau said to Iacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage: for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom.
Gen 25:31 And Iacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
Gen 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright doe to me?
Gen 25:33 And Iacob said, Sweare to mee this day: and he sware to him: and he sold his birthright vnto Iacob.
Gen 25:34 Then Iacob gaue Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eate and drinke, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
Gen 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the dayes of Abraham. And Isaac went vnto Abimelech King of the Philistims, vnto Gerar.
Gen 26:2 And the LORD appeared vnto him and said, Goe not downe into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of.
Gen 26:3 Soiourne in this land, and I wil be with thee, and will blesse thee: for vnto thee, and vnto thy seed I will giue all these countreys, and I wil performe the othe, which I sware vnto Abraham thy father.
Gen 26:4 And I wil make thy seed to multiply as the starres of heauen, and will giue vnto thy seed all these countreys: and in thy Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed:
Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voyce, and kept my charge, my Commandements, my Statutes and my Lawes.
Gen 26:6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
Gen 26:7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife: and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because shee was faire to looke vpon.
Gen 26:8 And it came to passe when he had bene there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistims looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
Gen 26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac and said, Behold, of a suretie she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said vnto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
Gen 26:10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done vnto vs? one of the people might lightly haue lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest haue brought guiltinesse vpon vs.
Gen 26:11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, Hee that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely bee put to death.
Gen 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and receiued in the same yeere an hundred fold: & the LORD blessed him.
Gen 26:13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew vntill he became very great.
Gen 26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of heards, and great store of seruants, and the Philistims enuied him.
Gen 26:15 For all the wels which his fathers seruants had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father, the Philistims had stopped them, & filled them with earth.
Gen 26:16 And Abimelech said vnto Isaac, Goe from vs: for thou art much mightier then we.
Gen 26:17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Gen 26:18 And Isaac digged againe the wels of water, which they had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father: for the Philistims had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Gen 26:19 And Isaacs seruants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Gen 26:20 And the heardmen of Gerar did striue with Isaacs heardmen, saying, The water is ours; and hee called the name of the well, Esek, because they stroue with him.
Gen 26:21 And they digged another well, and stroue for that also: and hee called the name of it, Sitnah.
Gen 26:22 And he remoued from thence, and digged another well, and for that they stroue not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth: and he said, For now the LORD hath made roome for vs, and we shall be fruitfull in the land.
Gen 26:23 And he went vp from thence to Beer-sheba.
Gen 26:24 And the LORD appeared vnto him the same night, and saide, I am the God of Abraham thy father: feare not, for I am with thee, and will blesse thee, and multiply thy seede, for my seruant Abrahams sake.
Gen 26:25 And he builded an altar there, and called vpon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaacs seruants digged a well.
Gen 26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chiefe captaine of his armie.
Gen 26:27 And Isaac saide vnto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and haue sent me away from you?
Gen 26:28 And they said, we saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and wee said, Let there be now an othe betwixt vs, euen betwixt vs and thee, and let vs make a couenant with thee,
Gen 26:29 That thou wilt doe vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothing but good, and haue sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
Gen 26:30 And he made them a feast, and they did eate and drinke.
Gen 26:31 And they rose vp betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Gen 26:32 And it came to passe the same day, that Isaacs seruants came, and tolde him concerning the well which they had digged, and said vnto him, we haue found water.
Gen 26:33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the citie is Beer-sheba vnto this day.
Gen 26:34 And Esau was forty yeeres old, when he tooke to wife Iudith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Gen 26:35 Which were a griefe of minde vnto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Gen 27:1 And it came to passe that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dimme, so that he could not see, hee called Esau his eldest son, and said vnto him, My sonne. And hee said vnto him, Behold, here am I.
Gen 27:2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death.
Gen 27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiuer, and thy bow, and goe out to the field, and take mee some venison.
Gen 27:4 And make me sauoury meat, such as I loue, and bring it to mee, that I may eate, that my soule may blesse thee before I die.
Gen 27:5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his sonne: and Esau went to the fielde to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Gen 27:6 And Rebekah spake vnto Iacob her sonne, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speake vnto Esau thy brother, saying,
Gen 27:7 Bring me venison, and make mee sauoury meat, that I may eate, and blesse thee before the LORD, before my death.
Gen 27:8 Now therefore, my sonne, obey my voyce, according to that which I command thee.
Gen 27:9 Goe now to the flocke, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goates, and I will make them sauoury meat for thy father, such as he loueth.
Gen 27:10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eate, and that he may blesse thee, before his death.
Gen 27:11 And Iacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Gen 27:12 My father peraduenture will feele me, and I shall seeme to him as a deceiuer, and I shall bring a curse vpon me, and not a blessing.
Gen 27:13 And his mother said vnto him, Upon me be thy curse, my sonne: onely obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Gen 27:14 And hee went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother, and his mother made sauoury meat, such as his father loued.
Gen 27:15 And Rebekah tooke goodly raiment of her eldest sonne Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them vpon Iacob her yonger sonne:
Gen 27:16 And shee put the skinnes of the kids of the goats vpon his hands, and vpon the smooth of his necke.
Gen 27:17 And she gaue the sauoury meate, and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her sonne Iacob.
Gen 27:18 And he came vnto his father, and said, My father: And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my sonne?
Gen 27:19 And Iacob said vnto his father, I am Esau, thy first borne; I haue done according as thou badest mee: arise, I pray thee, sit, and eate of my venison, that thy soule may blesse me.
Gen 27:20 And Isaac said vnto his sonne, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my sonne? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
Gen 27:21 And Isaac saide vnto Iacob, Come neere, I pray thee, that I may feele thee, my sonne, whether thou bee my very sonne Esau, or not.
Gen 27:22 And Iacob went neere vnto Isaac his father: and hee felt him, and said, The voyce is Iacobs voyce, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Gen 27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairie, as his brother Esaus hands: So he blessed him.
Gen 27:24 And he said, Art thou my very sonne Esau? And he said, I am.
Gen 27:25 And he said, Bring it neere to me, and I will eate of my sonnes venison, that my soule may blesse thee: and hee brought it neere to him, and he did eate: and he brought him wine, & he dranke.
Gen 27:26 And his father Isaac saide vnto him, Come neere now, and kisse me, my sonne.
Gen 27:27 And hee came neere, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my sonne is as the smell of a field, which the LORD hath blessed.
Gen 27:28 Therefore God giue thee of the dew of heauen, and the fatnesse of the earth, and plenty of corne and wine.
Gen 27:29 Let people serue thee, and nations bow downe to thee: bee lord ouer thy brethren, & let thy mothers sonnes bow downe to thee: Cursed bee euery one that curseth thee, and blessed be hee that blesseth thee.
Gen 27:30 And it came to passe, as soone as Isaac had made an ende of blessing Iacob, and Iacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Gen 27:31 And hee also had made sauoury meate, and brought it vnto his father, and said vnto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his sonnes venison, that thy soule may blesse me.
Gen 27:32 And Isaac his father said vnto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy sonne, thy first borne Esau.
Gen 27:33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? Where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I haue eaten of all before thou camest, and haue blessed him? Yea and he shalbe blessed.
Gen 27:34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said vnto his father, Blesse mee, euen me also, O my father.
Gen 27:35 And hee said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
Gen 27:36 And he said, Is not he rightly naned Iacob? For he hath supplanted me these two times: hee tooke away my birthright, and behold, now he hath taken away my blessing: and hee said, Hast thou not reserued a blessing for mee?
Gen 27:37 And Isaac answered and saide vnto Esau, Behold, I haue made him thy lord, and all his brethren haue I giuen to him for seruants: and with corne and wine haue I susteined him: and what shall I doe now vnto thee, my sonne?
Gen 27:38 And Esau said vnto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? Blesse mee, euen mee also, O my father. And Esau lift vp his voyce, and wept.
Gen 27:39 And Isaac his father answered, and said vnto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatnesse of the earth, and of the dew of heauen from aboue.
Gen 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou liue, and shalt serue thy brother: and it shall come to passe when thou shalt haue the dominion, that thou shalt breake his yoke from off thy necke.
Gen 27:41 And Esau hated Iacob, because of the blessing, wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The dayes of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Iacob.
Gen 27:42 And these words of Esau her elder sonne were told to Rebekah: And shee sent and called Iacob her yonger sonne, and said vnto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doeth comfort himselfe, purposing to kill thee.
Gen 27:43 Now therefore my sonne, obey my voice: and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother, to Haran.
Gen 27:44 And tary with him a few dayes, vntill thy brothers furie turne away;
Gen 27:45 Untill thy brothers anger turne away from thee, and hee forget that, which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be depriued also of you both in one day?
Gen 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of Heth: If Iacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life doe me?
Gen 28:1 And Isaac called Iacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and saide vnto him, Thou shalt not take a wife, of the daughters of Canaan.
Gen 28:2 Arise, goe to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father, and take thee a wife from thence, of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother.
Gen 28:3 And God Almighty blesse thee, and make thee fruitfull, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people:
Gen 28:4 And giue thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seede with thee, that thou mayest inherit the lande wherein thou art a stranger, which God gaue vnto Abraham.
Gen 28:5 And Isaac sent away Iacob, and hee went to Padan-Aram vnto Laban, sonne of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Iacobs and Esaus mother.
Gen 28:6 When Esau sawe that Isaac had blessed Iacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him, he gaue him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Gen 28:7 And that Iacob obeyed his father, and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram;
Gen 28:8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father.
Gen 28:9 Then went Esau vnto Ishmael, and tooke vnto the wiues which hee had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Gen 28:10 And Iacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
Gen 28:11 And hee lighted vpon a certaine place, and taried there all night, because the sunne was set: and hee tooke of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillowes, and lay downe in that place to sleepe.
Gen 28:12 And he dreamed, and beholde, a ladder set vp on the earth, and the top of it reached to heauen: and beholde the Angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Gen 28:13 And behold, the LORD stood aboue it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I giue it, and to thy seede.
Gen 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the South: and in thee, and in thy seed, shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Gen 28:15 And behold, I am with thee, and will keepe thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee againe into this land: for I will not leaue thee, vntill I haue done that which I haue spoken to thee of.
Gen 28:16 And Iacob awaked out of his sleepe, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place, and I knew it not.
Gen 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place? this is none other, but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen.
Gen 28:18 And Iacob rose vp earely in the morning, and tooke the stone that hee had put for his pillowes, and set it vp for a pillar, and powred oile vpon the top of it.
Gen 28:19 And hee called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of that citie was called Luz, at the first.
Gen 28:20 And Iacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keepe me in this way that I goe, and will giue me bread to eate, and raiment to put on,
Gen 28:21 So that I come againe to my fathers house in peace: then shall the LORD be my God.
Gen 28:22 And this stone which I haue set for a pillar, shall be Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, I will surely giue the tenth vnto thee.
Gen 29:1 Then Iacob went on his iourney, and came into the land of the people of the East.
Gen 29:2 And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and loe, there were three flocks of sheepe lying by it: for out of that wel they watered the flocks: and a great stone was vpon the welles mouth.
Gen 29:3 And thither were all the flockes gathered, and they rolled the stone from the wels mouth, & watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the wels mouth in his place.
Gen 29:4 And Iacob said vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? and they saide, Of Haran are we.
Gen 29:5 And he said vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? And they sayde, We knowe him.
Gen 29:6 And he said vnto them, Is hee well? and they said, He is well: and behold, Rachel his daughter commeth with the sheepe.
Gen 29:7 And hee said, Loe, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattell should be gathered together: water yee the sheepe, and goe and feed them.
Gen 29:8 And they said, We cannot, vntill all the flockes bee gathered together, and till they rolle the stone from the welles mouth: then wee water the sheepe.
Gen 29:9 And while hee yet spake with them, Rachel came with her fathers sheepe: for she kept them.
Gen 29:10 And it came to passe, when Iacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheepe of Laban his mothers brother; that Iacob went neere, and rolled the stone from the wels mouth, and watered the flocke of Laban his mothers brother.
Gen 29:11 And Iacob kissed Rachel, and lifted vp his voyce, and wept.
Gen 29:12 And Iacob told Rachel, that hee was her fathers brother, and that hee was Rebekahs sonne: and she ranne, and told her father.
Gen 29:13 And it came to passe, when Laban heard the tidings of Iacob his sisters sonne, that he ranne to meete him, and imbraced him, and kissed him, & brought him to his house: and hee tolde Laban all these things.
Gen 29:14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh: and he abode with him the space of a moneth.
Gen 29:15 And Laban said vnto Iacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serue me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
