Whom
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.
But Sarai was barren;
she
had no child.
**
Now
Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it
ceased
to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
**
Now Sarai Abram's
wife - bare him no children:
and
she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
**
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
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;
*
And
Abram hearkened to
the voice of Sarai.
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.
*
And
he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: . . .
*
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. . . .
*
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?
Wherefore
the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
And
Hagar bare Abram a
son:
and Abram called his son's name,
which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
***
And Abraham said
unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! . . .
*
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 God said, Sarah thy wife
shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac:
and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
***
Un-to
Adam also
and
to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and
clothed them.
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:
Therefore
the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden,
to till the ground from whence he was taken.
*
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time - in the next year.
And
he left off talking with him,
and
God
went up - from
Abraham.
**
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
he went in
unto Hagar,
and she conceived:
**
And
the Lord
visited
Sarah as
he had said, and the Lord
did unto Sarah
as he
had spoken.
For Sarah conceived, . . .
*
And
the Lord God planted a
garden eastward in Eden; and there he put
the man whom he had formed.
*
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.
*
and
bare Abraham a son in his old
age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
And
Abraham called
the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
*****
And
he
arose,
and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off,
- - his father saw him, and had compassion,
and ran,
and fell on his neck,
and kissed
him.
