And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hands to the God Most High, the possessor of heaven and earth,

And Abram said, O LORD God, what will thou give me, for I will die childless, and Eliezer of Damascus, one of my household, will be my heir?

And Abram said, O LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

And she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, and said, Thou art God whom I saw; for she said, Behold, I have also seen a vision after he had seen me.

WHEN Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk well before me, and be faultless.

And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,

And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, and I will be God to you and to your descendants after you.

And I will give to you, and your descendants after you, the land in which you sojourn, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting inheritance; and I will be their God.

And God said to Abraham, You shall keep my covenant, you, and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

Then God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name.

And Abraham said to God, O that Ishmael might live in thy presence!

And God said to Abraham, Truly, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son; and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

And when God was through talking with him, he went up from Abraham.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son and all of those that were born in his house and all of those that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abrahams household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in that very day, as God had said unto him.

And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the devastated region, when he overthrew the cities wherein Lot dwelt.

But God came to Abimeleck in a dream by night and said to him, Behold, you will die on account of the woman whom you have taken; for she is another mans wife.

And God said to him in a dream, Yea, I know that you have done this in the innocence of your heart; for I also restrained you from sinning against me; therefore I did not permit you to touch her.

And Abraham said, Because I thought, perhaps there is no fear of God in this country; and they will slay me for my wifes sake.

And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of my fathers house, I said to her, This is the favor which you shall do to me; at every place whither we shall go, say of me, He is my brother.

So Abraham prayed to God and God healed Abimeleck and his wife and his maidservants, and they bore children.
