And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt.

And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him (for he was afraid to stay in Segor) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in, and lay with her father: but he perceived not, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.

And the elder bore a son, and she called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

The younger also bore a son, and she called his name Ammon; that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day.

And he said of Sara his wife: She is my sister. So Abimelech the king of Gerara sent, and took her.

Now therefore restore the man his wife, for he is a prophet: and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: but if thou wilt not restore her, know that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thine.

And Abimelech forthwith rising up in the night, called all his servants: and spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were exceedingly afraid.

And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gave to Abraham: and restored to him Sara his wife,

And when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bore children:

And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.

When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father, was Isaac born.

And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age?

And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.

Abraham took this grievously for his son.

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army, said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.

And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.

And Abimelech and Phicol, the general of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.

So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass, and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he went his way to the place which God had commanded him.
