And Abraham [was] ninety and nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

And Ishmael his son [was] thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

In the same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they will keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.

And there came two angels to Sodom at evening; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom; and Lot seeing [them], rose to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face towards the ground;

And he urged them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

And Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Arise, depart from this place; for the LORD will destroy this city: but he seemed to his sons-in-law as one that mocked.

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters: the LORD being merciful to him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

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

And Lot went up from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he, and his two daughters.

And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same [is] the father of the Moabites to this day.

And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same [is] the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, she is my sister: And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

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

Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were greatly afraid.

And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and women-servants, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.

So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore [children].
