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

And the elder bore a son and called his name Moab, saying, He is of my father. This is the father of the Moabites to this present day.

And the younger also bore a son, and called his name Amman, saying, The son of my family. This is the father of the Ammanites to this present day.

And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.

But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live; but if thou restore her not, know that thou shalt die and all thine.

And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.

And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maid-servants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.

And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.

And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac.

And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.

And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his son Isaac was weaned.

But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son.

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

And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with thee in all things, whatsoever thou mayest do.

And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines.

And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole-burnt-offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,

on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.

And Abraam said to his servants, Sit ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.

And Abraam took the wood of the whole-burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.

And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole-burnt-offering?
