Eber begat two sonnes: the name of the one was Peleg, because that in his tyme the worlde was deuyded, and his brothers name was Iaketan,

but Hara dyed before Terah his father in ye londe where he was borne, at Vr in Chaldea.

Then toke Terah Abra his sonne, & Lot his sonne Harans sonne, & Sarai his doughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife, & caried them wt him from Vr in Chaldea, to go in to the lande of Canaan. And they came to Haran, & dwelt there.

So Abram toke Sarai his wife, and Lot his brothers sonne, wt all their goodes which they had gotten, and soules which they begat in Hara, and departed to go in to ye londe of Canaan.

The brake he vp fro thece, vnto a mountayne yt laye on ye east syde of the cite of Bethel, & pitched his tent: so yt he had Bethel on the west side, and Ay on ye east syde: & there buylded he an altare also vnto the LORDE, & called vpon the name of the LORDE.

Afterwarde departed Abram farther, & toke his iourneye southwarde.

And whan he was come nye for to entre in to Egipte, he sayde vnto Sarai his wife: Beholde, I knowe yt thou art a fayre woman to loke vpon.

Now whan the Egipcians se the, they wil saye: She is his wife, and so shal they slaye me, and saue the alyue.

But ye LORDE plaged Pharao & his house wt greate plages, because of Sarai Abras wife.

He gaue his officers also a charge ouer him, to conveye him out, and his wife, and all that he had.

So Abra departed out of Egipte, wt his wife, & with all yt he had, & Lot wt him also, towarde ye south.

And he wente on forth from the south vnto Bethel, vnto the place where his tent was at ye first, betwene Bethel and Ay:

Then Lot lift vp his eyes, and behelde all the countre rounde aboute Iorda, that it was a plenteous countre of water. For before the LORDE destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra, it was rounde aboute Zoar, euen as the pleasaunt garden of the LORDE, and as the londe of Egipte.

Then Lot chose all the coastes of Iorda, and toke his iourney towarde ye East. And so the one brother departed from the other.

Abram dwelt in the lande of Canaan, and Lot in the cities of the same coastes, and pitched his tent towarde Sodome.

So Abram remoued his tent, and wente and dwelt in ye Okegroue of Mamre, which is in Ebron, and buylded there an altare vnto the LORDE.

They toke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne, & his good (for he dwelt at Sodome) and departed.

Now whan Abram herde yt his brother was taken, he harnessed his bonde seruauntes borne in his owne house, thre hundreth & eightene, & folowed after them vntill Dan,

& deuyded the, & fell vpo them by night wt his seruauntes, and smote the, and chased them awaye vnto Hoba, which lieth on ye left hande of the cite of Damascos,

and brought agayne all the goodes, and also his brother Lot, and his goodes, ye wemen also and the people.
