Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up! Get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.

But he lingered; and the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, the LORD being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Lot went up out of Tzo`ar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Tzo`ar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.

The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben-`Ammi. The same is the father of the children of `Ammon to this day.

Avraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Avimelekh king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Avimelekh rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.

Avimelekh took sheep and oxen, men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Avraham, and restored Sarah, his wife to him.

Avraham prayed to God. God healed Avimelekh, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore children.

Sarah conceived, and bore Avraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

Avraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bare to him, Yitzchak.

Avraham circumcised his son, Yitzchak, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

Avraham was one hundred years old when his son, Yitzchak, was born to him.

She said, "Who would have said to Avraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age."

The thing was very grievous in Avraham's sight on account of his son.

He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Mitzrayim.

It happened at that time, that Avimelekh and Pikhol the captain of his host spoke to Avraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.

So they made a covenant at Be'er-Sheva. Avimelekh rose up with Pikhol, the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Pelishtim.

Avraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Yitzchak his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

On the third day Avraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
