GE-1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

GE-1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness

[was]

upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the

face

of the waters.

GE-1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

GE-1:4  And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God

divided the

light from the darkness.

GE-1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called

Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

GE-1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of

the

waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

GE-1:7  And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which

[were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the

firmament: and it was so.

GE-1:8  And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and

the

morning were the second day.

GE-1:9  And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered

together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it

was so.

GE-1:10  And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering

together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was]

good.

GE-1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb

yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his

kind,

whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

GE-1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding

seed

after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in

itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.

GE-1:13  And the evening and the morning were the third day.

GE-1:14  And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of

the

heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for

signs,

and for seasons, and for days, and years:

GE-1:15  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the

heaven to

give light upon the earth: and it was so.

GE-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 stars

also.

GE-1:17  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give

light

upon the earth,

GE-1:18  And to rule over the day and over the night, and to

divide

the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.

GE-1:19  And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

GE-1:20  And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the

moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the

earth in the open firmament of heaven.

GE-1:21  And God created great whales, and every living creature

that

moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their

kind,

and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was]

good.

GE-1:22  And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply,

 and

fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

GE-1:23  And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

GE-1:24  And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living

creature

after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the

earth

after his kind: and it was so.

GE-1:25  And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and

cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the

earth

after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.

GE-1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our

likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

and

over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the

earth,

and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

GE-1:27  So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of

God

created he him; male and female created he them.

GE-1:28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be

fruitful,

and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have

dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,

and

over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

GE-1:29  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb

bearing

seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,

in

the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it

shall be

for meat.

GE-1:30  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of

the

air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein

[there

is] life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was

so.

GE-1:31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold,

[it

was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth

day.

GE-2:1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all

the host

of them.

GE-2:2  And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had

made;

and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had

made.

GE-2:3  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:

because

that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and

made.

GE-2:4  These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the

earth

when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the

earth

and the heavens,

GE-2:5  And every plant of the field before it was in the earth,

and

every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not

caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to

till

the ground.

GE-2:6  But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the

whole

face of the ground.

GE-2:7  And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground,

and

breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a

living

soul.

GE-2:8  And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and

there

he put the man whom he had formed.

GE-2:9  And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every

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

evil.

GE-2:10  And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and

from

thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

GE-2:11  The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which

compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;

GE-2:12  And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is]

bdellium and

the onyx stone.

GE-2:13  And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same

[is] it

that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

GE-2:14  And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that

[is] it

which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is]

Euphrates.

GE-2:15  And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the

garden of

Eden to dress it and to keep it.

GE-2:16  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every

tree of

the garden thou mayest freely eat:

GE-2:17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou

shalt

not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt

surely die.

GE-2:18  And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man

should

be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

GE-2:19  And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast

of the

field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam

to see

what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living

creature, that [was] the name thereof.

GE-2:20  And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of

the

air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not

found

an help meet for him.

GE-2:21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,

and

he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh

instead

thereof;

GE-2:22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,

made he a

woman, and brought her unto the man.

GE-2:23  And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and

flesh of

my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out

of Man.

GE-2:24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,

and

shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

GE-2:25  And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and

were not

ashamed.

GE-3:1  Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the

field

which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea,

hath God

said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

GE-3:2  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the

fruit

of the trees of the garden:

GE-3:3  But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of

the

garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye

touch

it, lest ye die.

GE-3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely

die:

GE-3:5  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then

your

eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and

evil.

GE-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 took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave

also

unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

GE-3:7  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew

that they

[were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made

themselves

aprons.

GE-3:8  And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the

garden

in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves

from the

presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

GE-3:9  And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him,

Where

[art] thou?

GE-3:10  And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was

afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.

GE-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

eat?

GE-3:12  And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest [to be]

with me,

she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

GE-3:13  And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this

[that]

thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and

I did

eat.

GE-3:14  And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou

hast

done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every

beast

of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou

eat

all the days of thy life:

GE-3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and

between

thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt

bruise

his heel.

GE-3:16  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy

sorrow

and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;

and thy

desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

GE-3:17  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto

the

voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I

commanded

thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground

for thy

sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;

GE-3:18  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;

and

thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

GE-3:19  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou

return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust

thou

[art], and unto dust shalt thou return.

GE-3:20  And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the

mother of all living.

GE-3:21  Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make

coats of

skins, and clothed them.

GE-3:22  And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one

of

us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand,

and

take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

GE-3:23  Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of

Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

GE-3:24  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of

the

garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every

way,

to keep the way of the tree of life.

GE-4:1  And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare

Cain,

and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

GE-4:2  And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a

keeper of

sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

GE-4:3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain

brought of

the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

GE-4:4  And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock

and

of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his

offering:

GE-4:5  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.

And Cain

was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

GE-4:6  And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why

is

thy countenance fallen?

GE-4:7  If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if

thou

doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall be]

his

desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

GE-4:8  And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to

pass,

when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his

brother, and slew him.

GE-4:9  And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy

brother? And

he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?

GE-4:10  And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy

brother's

blood crieth unto me from the ground.

GE-4:11  And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath

opened

her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

GE-4:12  When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth

yield

unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be

in the

earth.

GE-4:13  And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater

than

I can bear.

GE-4:14  Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face

of the

earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a

fugitive and

a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, [that] every

one

that findeth me shall slay me.

GE-4:15  And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth

Cain,

vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a

mark

upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

GE-4:16  And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and

dwelt in

the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

GE-4:17  And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare

Enoch:

and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after

the name

of his son, Enoch.

GE-4:18  And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael:

and

Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

GE-4:19  And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one

[was]

Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

GE-4:20  And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell

in

tents, and [of such as have] cattle.

GE-4:21  And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father

of all

such as handle the harp and organ.

GE-4:22  And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of

every

artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was]

Naamah.

GE-4:23  And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my

voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have

slain a

man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.

GE-4:24  If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech

seventy and

sevenfold.

GE-4:25  And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and

called

his name Seth: For God, [said she], hath appointed me another

seed

instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

GE-4:26  And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he

called

his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

GE-5:1  This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the

day that

God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

GE-5:2  Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and

called

their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

GE-5:3  And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat [a

son]

in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

GE-5:4  And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were

eight

hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:5  And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and

thirty

years: and he died.

GE-5:6  And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

GE-5:7  And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and

seven

years, and begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:8  And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve

years:

and he died.

GE-5:9  And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:

GE-5:10  And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and

fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:11  And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five

years:

and he died.

GE-5:12  And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:

GE-5:13  And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight

hundred and

forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:14  And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten

years:

and he died.

GE-5:15  And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat

Jared:

GE-5:16  And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred

and

thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:17  And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred

ninety and

five years: and he died.

GE-5:18  And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he

begat

Enoch:

GE-5:19  And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred

years, and

begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:20  And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and

two

years: and he died.

GE-5:21  And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat

Methuselah:

GE-5:22  And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah

three

hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:23  And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and

five

years:

GE-5:24  And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God

took

him.

GE-5:25  And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years,

and

begat Lamech:

GE-5:26  And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred

eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:27  And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty

and

nine years: and he died.

GE-5:28  And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and

begat a

son:

GE-5:29  And he called his name Noah, saying, This [same] shall

comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of

the

ground which the LORD hath cursed.

GE-5:30  And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred

ninety and

five years, and begat sons and daughters:

GE-5:31  And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy

and

seven years: and he died.

GE-5:32  And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat

Shem,

Ham, and Japheth.

GE-6:1  And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the

face of

the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

GE-6:2  That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they

[were]

fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

GE-6:3  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive

with man,

for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and

twenty years.

GE-6:4  There were giants in the earth in those days; and also

after

that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,

and they

bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which

[were] of

old, men of renown.

GE-6:5  And God saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the

earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart

[was]

only evil continually.

GE-6:6  And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the

earth,

and it grieved him at his heart.

GE-6:7  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have

created from

the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping

thing,

and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made

them.

GE-6:8  But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

GE-6:9  These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man

[and]

perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.

GE-6:10  And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

GE-6:11  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was

filled with violence.

GE-6:12  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was

corrupt;

for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

GE-6:13  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come

before

me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and,

behold, I

will destroy them with the earth.

GE-6:14  Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make

in the

ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

GE-6:15  And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make it [of]:

 The

length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth

of it

fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

GE-6:16  A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit

shalt

thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in

the

side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt

thou

make it.

GE-6:17  And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon

the

earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life,

from

under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die.

GE-6:18  But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou

shalt

come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy

sons'

wives with thee.

GE-6:19  And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every

[sort]

shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee;

they

shall be male and female.

GE-6:20  Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their

kind, of

every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every

[sort]

shall come unto thee, to keep [them] alive.

GE-6:21  And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and

thou

shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee,

and for

them.

GE-6:22  Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him,

so

did he.

GE-7:1  And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house

into

the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this

generation.

GE-7:2  Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens,

the

male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two,

the

male and his female.

GE-7:3  Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the

female;

to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

GE-7:4  For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the

earth

forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I

have

made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

GE-7:5  And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded

him.

GE-7:6  And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of

waters

was upon the earth.

GE-7:7  And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his

sons'

wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

GE-7:8  Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and

of

fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

GE-7:9  There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the

male and

the female, as God had commanded Noah.

GE-7:10  And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters

of the

flood were upon the earth.

GE-7:11  In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second

month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all

the

fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven

were

opened.

GE-7:12  And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty

nights.

GE-7:13  In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and

Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives

of his

sons with them, into the ark;

GE-7:14  They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle

after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the

earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird

of

every sort.

GE-7:15  And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of

all

flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.

GE-7:16  And they that went in, went in male and female of all

flesh,

as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

GE-7:17  And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the

waters

increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the

earth.

GE-7:18  And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly

upon the

earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

GE-7:19  And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth;

and all

the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were covered.

GE-7:20  Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the

mountains were covered.

GE-7:21  And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of

fowl,

and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that

creepeth

upon the earth, and every man:

GE-7:22  All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all

that

[was] in the dry [land], died.

GE-7:23  And every living substance was destroyed which was upon

the

face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping

things, and

the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth:

and

Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the

ark.

GE-7:24  And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and

fifty

days.

GE-8:1  And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all

the

cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to

pass

over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

GE-8:2  The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven

were

stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

GE-8:3  And the waters returned from off the earth continually:

and

after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were

abated.

GE-8:4  And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the

seventeenth

day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

GE-8:5  And the waters decreased continually until the tenth

month: in

the tenth [month], on the first [day] of the month, were the

tops of

the mountains seen.

GE-8:6  And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah

opened

the window of the ark which he had made:

GE-8:7  And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,

until

the waters were dried up from off the earth.

GE-8:8  Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters

were

abated from off the face of the ground;

GE-8:9  But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and

she

returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the

face of

the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and

pulled

her in unto him into the ark.

GE-8:10  And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent

forth

the dove out of the ark;

GE-8:11  And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in

her

mouth [was] an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the

waters

were abated from off the earth.

GE-8:12  And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the

dove;

which returned not again unto him any more.

GE-8:13  And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year,

 in

the first [month], the first [day] of the month, the waters were

dried

up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark,

and

looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

GE-8:14  And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day

of

the month, was the earth dried.

GE-8:15  And God spake unto Noah, saying,

GE-8:16  Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons,

and

thy sons' wives with thee.

GE-8:17  Bring forth with thee every living thing that [is] with

thee,

of all flesh, [both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every

creeping

thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed

abundantly in

the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

GE-8:18  And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his

sons' wives with him:

GE-8:19  Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and]

whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went

forth out

of the ark.

GE-8:20  And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of

every

clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt

offerings on

the altar.

GE-8:21  And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said

in his

heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake;

 for

the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; neither

will

I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

GE-8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and

cold and

heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

GE-9:1  And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be

fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

GE-9:2  And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon

every

beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that

moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea;

into your

hand are they delivered.

GE-9:3  Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you;

even as

the green herb have I given you all things.

GE-9:4  But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood

thereof,

shall ye not eat.

GE-9:5  And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at

the

hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man;

at the

hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

GE-9:6  Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be

shed:

for in the image of God made he man.

GE-9:7  And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth

abundantly

in the earth, and multiply therein.

GE-9:8  And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him,

saying,

GE-9:9  And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and

with your

seed after you;

GE-9:10  And with every living creature that [is] with you, of

the

fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you;

from

all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

GE-9:11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither

shall 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.

GE-9:12  And God said, This [is] the token of the covenant which

I

make between me and you and every living creature that [is] with

you,

for perpetual generations:

GE-9:13  I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a

token of

a covenant between me and the earth.

GE-9:14  And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the

earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

GE-9:15  And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me

and

you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall

no

more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

GE-9:16  And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon

it,

that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and

every

living creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth.

GE-9:17  And God said unto Noah, This [is] the token of the

covenant,

which I have established between me and all flesh that [is] upon

the

earth.

GE-9:18  And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were

Shem,

and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.

GE-9:19  These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the

whole

earth overspread.

GE-9:20  And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a

vineyard:

GE-9:21  And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was

uncovered within his tent.

GE-9:22  And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his

father, and told his two brethren without.

GE-9:23  And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon

both

their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of

their

father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their

father's nakedness.

GE-9:24  And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger

son

had done unto him.

GE-9:25  And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants

shall

he be unto his brethren.

GE-9:26  And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and

Canaan

shall be his servant.

GE-9:27  God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the

tents of

Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

GE-9:28  And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty

years.

GE-9:29  And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty

years:

and he died.

GE-10:1  Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah,

Shem,

Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

GE-10:2  The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and

Javan,

and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

GE-10:3  And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and

Togarmah.

GE-10:4  And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim,

and

Dodanim.

GE-10:5  By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their

lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their

nations.

GE-10:6  And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and

Canaan.

GE-10:7  And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and

Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

GE-10:8  And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in

the

earth.

GE-10:9  He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is

said,

Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

GE-10:10  And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech,

and

Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

GE-10:11  Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded

Nineveh, and

the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

GE-10:12  And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a

great

city.

GE-10:13  And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and

Naphtuhim,

GE-10:14  And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came

Philistim,)

and Caphtorim.

GE-10:15  And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

GE-10:16  And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

GE-10:17  And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

GE-10:18  And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite:

and

afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

GE-10:19  And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as

thou

comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and

Gomorrah,

and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

GE-10:20  These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families,

after

their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations.

GE-10:21  Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber,

 the

brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born.

GE-10:22  The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad,

and

Lud, and Aram.

GE-10:23  And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and

Mash.

GE-10:24  And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

GE-10:25  And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was]

Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's

name

[was] Joktan.

GE-10:26  And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth,

 and

Jerah,

GE-10:27  And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

GE-10:28  And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

GE-10:29  And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were]

the sons

of Joktan.

GE-10:30  And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto

Sephar

a mount of the east.

GE-10:31  These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families,

after

their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

GE-10:32  These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after

their

generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations

divided

in the earth after the flood.

GE-11:1  And the whole earth was of one language, and of one

speech.

GE-11:2  And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east,

that

they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

GE-11:3  And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick,

and

burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime

had they

for mortar.

GE-11:4  And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a

tower,

whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name,

lest we

be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

GE-11:5  And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,

which

the children of men builded.

GE-11:6  And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and

they have

all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing

will be

restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

GE-11:7  Go to, let us go down, and there confound their

language,

that they may not understand one another's speech.

GE-11:8  So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the

face

of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

GE-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 upon the face of all the earth.

GE-11:10  These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an

hundred

years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

GE-11:11  And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred

years,

and begat sons and daughters.

GE-11:12  And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat

Salah:

GE-11:13  And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred

and

three years, and begat sons and daughters.

GE-11:14  And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:

GE-11:15  And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and

three

years, and begat sons and daughters.

GE-11:16  And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:

GE-11:17  And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and

thirty

years, and begat sons and daughters.

GE-11:18  And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:

GE-11:19  And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine

years, and begat sons and daughters.

GE-11:20  And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:

GE-11:21  And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and

seven

years, and begat sons and daughters.

GE-11:22  And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:

GE-11:23  And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years,

 and

begat sons and daughters.

GE-11:24  And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:

GE-11:25  And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and

nineteen

years, and begat sons and daughters.

GE-11:26  And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor,

and

Haran.

GE-11:27  Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat

Abram,

Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

GE-11:28  And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of

his

nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

GE-11:29  And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of

Abram's

wife [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the

daughter

of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

GE-11:30  But Sarai was barren; she [had] no child.

GE-11:31  And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran

his

son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife;

and

they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into

the land

of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

GE-11:32  And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years:

and

Terah died in Haran.

GE-12:1  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy

country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto

a

land that I will show thee:

GE-12:2  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless

thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

GE-12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him

that

curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be

blessed.

GE-12:4  So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and

Lot

went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he

departed out of Haran.

GE-12:5  And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's

son, and

all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that

they

had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of

Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

GE-12:6  And Abram passed through the land unto the place of

Sichem,

unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the

land.

GE-12:7  And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy

seed

will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the

LORD,

who appeared unto him.

GE-12:8  And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east

of

Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel on the west, and

Hai on

the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and

called upon

the name of the LORD.

GE-12:9  And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

GE-12:10  And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went

down into

Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the

land.

GE-12:11  And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter

into

Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that

thou

[art] a fair woman to look upon:

GE-12:12  Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians

shall

see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will

kill

me, but they will save thee alive.

GE-12:13  Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be

well

with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

GE-12:14  And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into

Egypt,

the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.

GE-12:15  The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her

before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

GE-12:16  And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had

sheep,

and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and

she

asses, and camels.

GE-12:17  And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great

plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

GE-12:18  And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this

[that]

thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she

[was] thy

wife?

GE-12:19  Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have

taken

her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her],

and go

thy way.

GE-12:20  And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and

they

sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

GE-13:1  And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and

all

that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

GE-13:2  And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in

gold.

GE-13:3  And he went on his journeys from the south even to

Bethel,

unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between

Bethel and Hai;

GE-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.

GE-13:5  And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and

herds,

and tents.

GE-13:6  And the land was not able to bear them, that they might

dwell

together: for their substance was great, so that they could not

dwell

together.

GE-13:7  And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's

cattle

and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the

Perizzite

dwelled then in the land.

GE-13:8  And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray

thee,

between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for

we

[be] brethren.

GE-13:9  [Is] not the whole land before thee? separate thyself,

I pray

thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go

to

the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go

to

the left.

GE-13:10  And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of

Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD

destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD,

like

the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

GE-13:11  Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot

journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the

other.

GE-13:12  Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled

in the

cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.

GE-13:13  But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before

the

LORD exceedingly.

GE-13:14  And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was

separated

from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where

thou

art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

GE-13:15  For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give

it,

and to thy seed for ever.

GE-13:16  And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so

that

if a man can number the dust of the earth, [then] shall thy seed

also

be numbered.

GE-13:17  Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and

in the

breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

GE-13:18  Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in

the

plain of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar

unto

the LORD.

GE-14:1  And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of

Shinar,

Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal

king of

nations;

GE-14:2  [That these] made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with

Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king

of

Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

GE-14:3  All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim,

which

is the salt sea.

GE-14:4  Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the

thirteenth

year they rebelled.

GE-14:5  And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the

kings

that [were] with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth

Karnaim, and

the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

GE-14:6  And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan,

which [is]

by the wilderness.

GE-14:7  And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which [is]

Kadesh,

and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the

Amorites,

that dwelt in Hazezontamar.

GE-14:8  And there went out the king of Sodom, 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 joined battle with them

in the

vale of Siddim;

GE-14:9  With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king

of

nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar;

 four

kings with five.

GE-14:10  And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits; and the

kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that

remained fled to the mountain.

GE-14:11  And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and

all

their victuals, and went their way.

GE-14:12  And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in

Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

GE-14:13  And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the

Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother

of

Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate with

Abram.

GE-14:14  And when Abram heard that his brother was taken

captive, he

armed his trained [servants], born in his own house, three

hundred and

eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan.

GE-14:15  And he divided himself against them, he and his

servants, by

night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is]

on the

left hand of Damascus.

GE-14:16  And he brought back all the goods, and also brought

again

his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the

people.

GE-14:17  And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his

return

from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that [were]

with

him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king's dale.

GE-14:18  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and

wine:

and he [was] the priest of the most high God.

GE-14:19  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of

the most

high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

GE-14:20  And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered

thine

enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

GE-14:21  And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the

persons,

and take the goods to thyself.

GE-14:22  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up

mine

hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven

and

earth,

GE-14:23  That I will not [take] from a thread even to a

shoelatchet,

and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou

shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

GE-14:24  Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the

portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre;

let

them take their portion.

GE-15:1  After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram

in a

vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield, [and] thy

exceeding great reward.

GE-15:2  And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me,

seeing I go

childless, and the steward of my house [is] this Eliezer of

Damascus?

GE-15:3  And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed:

and,

lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

GE-15:4  And, behold, the word of the LORD [came] unto him,

saying,

This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of

thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

GE-15:5  And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now

toward

heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and

he

said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

GE-15:6  And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him

for

righteousness.

GE-15:7  And he said unto him, I [am] the LORD that brought thee

out

of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

GE-15:8  And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall

inherit it?

GE-15:9  And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years

old,

and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old,

and a

turtledove, and a young pigeon.

GE-15:10  And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the

midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds

divided

he not.

GE-15:11  And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram

drove

them away.

GE-15:12  And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon

Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

GE-15:13  And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed

shall

be a stranger in a land [that is] not theirs, and shall serve

them;

and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

GE-15:14  And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I

judge:

and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

GE-15:15  And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt

be

buried in a good old age.

GE-15:16  But in the fourth generation they shall come hither

again:

for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full.

GE-15:17  And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and

it

was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that

passed

between those pieces.

GE-15:18  In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram,

saying,

Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt

unto the

great river, the river Euphrates:

GE-15:19  The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

GE-15:20  And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

GE-15:21  And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the

Girgashites,

and the Jebusites.

GE-16:1  Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she

had an

handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar.

GE-16:2  And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath

restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it

may be

that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the

voice of

Sarai.

GE-16:3  And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian,

after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave

her to

her husband Abram to be his wife.

GE-16:4  And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when

she

saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her

eyes.

GE-16:5  And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong [be] upon thee: I

have

given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had

conceived,

I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

GE-16:6  But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid [is] in thy

hand;

do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with

her,

she fled from her face.

GE-16:7  And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of

water in

the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

GE-16:8  And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou?

and

whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my

mistress Sarai.

GE-16:9  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy

mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

GE-16:10  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will

multiply thy

seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

GE-16:11  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou

[art]

with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name

Ishmael;

because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

GE-16:12  And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against

every

man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the

presence of all his brethren.

GE-16:13  And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto

her,

Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after

him

that seeth me?

GE-16:14  Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold,

[it is]

between Kadesh and Bered.

GE-16:15  And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's

name,

which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

GE-16:16  And Abram [was] fourscore and six years old, when

Hagar bare

Ishmael to Abram.

GE-17:1  And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD
