                                    ABRAHAM




GEN 11:26  And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.  

GEN 11:27  Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and
Haran; and Haran begat Lot.  

GEN 11:29  And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was
Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father
of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.  

GEN 11:31  And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son,
and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with
them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto
Haran, and dwelt there.  

GEN 12:1  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and
from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew
thee:  

GEN 12:2  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and
make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:  

GEN 12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth
thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.  

GEN 12:4  So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with
him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.  

GEN 12:5  And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all
their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in
Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of
Canaan they came.  

GEN 12:6  And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the
plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.  

GEN 12:7  And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give
this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.  

GEN 12:8  And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and
pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he
builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.  

GEN 12:9  And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.  

GEN 12:10  And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to
sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.  

GEN 12:11  And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that
he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to
look upon:  

GEN 12:12  Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee,
that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save
thee alive.  

GEN 12:13  Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for
thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.  

GEN 12:14  And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the
Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.  

GEN 12:15  The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before
Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.  

GEN 12:16  And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen,
and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.  

GEN 12:17  And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because
of Sarai Abram's wife.  

GEN 12:18  And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done
unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?  

GEN 12:19  Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to
wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.  

GEN 12:20  And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away,
and his wife, and all that he had.  

GEN 13:1  And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had,
and Lot with him, into the south.  

GEN 13:2  And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.  

GEN 13:3  And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the
place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;  

GEN 13:4  Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and
there Abram called on the name of the LORD.  

GEN 13:5  And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 


GEN 13:6  And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell
together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 


GEN 13:7  And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the
herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the
land.  

GEN 13:8  And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between
me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.  

GEN 13:9  Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from
me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou
depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.  

GEN 13:11  Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east:
and they separated themselves the one from the other.  

GEN 13:12  Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of
the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.  

GEN 13:14  And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him,
Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and
southward, and eastward, and westward:  

GEN 13:15  For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy
seed for ever.  

GEN 13:16  And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man
can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.  

GEN 13:17  Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth
of it; for I will give it unto thee.  

GEN 13:18  Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of
Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.  

GEN 14:12  And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his
goods, and departed.  

GEN 14:13  And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for
he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of
Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.  

GEN 14:14  And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his
trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued
them unto Dan.  

GEN 14:15  And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night,
and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of
Damascus.  

GEN 14:16  And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother
Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.  

GEN 14:17  And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the
slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of
Shaveh, which is the king's dale.  

GEN 14:19  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth:  

GEN 14:20  And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies
into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.  

GEN 14:21  And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take
the goods to thyself.  

GEN 14:22  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto
the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,  

GEN 14:23  That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I
will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made
Abram rich:  

GEN 14:24  Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the
men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.  

GEN 15:1  After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision,
saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.  

GEN 15:2  And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go
childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?  

GEN 15:3  And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one
born in my house is mine heir.  

GEN 15:4  And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall
not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be
thine heir.  

GEN 15:5  And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and
tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall
thy seed be.  

GEN 15:6  And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
righteousness.  

GEN 15:7  And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the
Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.  

GEN 15:8  And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?  

GEN 15:9  And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she
goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a
young pigeon.  

GEN 15:10  And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and
laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.  

GEN 15:11  And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them
away.  

GEN 15:12  And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and,
lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.  

GEN 15:13  And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a
stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall
afflict them four hundred years;  

GEN 15:15  And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a
good old age.  

GEN 15:18  In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy
seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the
river Euphrates:  

GEN 16:3  And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram
had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to
be his wife.  

GEN 16:15  And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which
Hagar bare, Ishmael.  

GEN 16:16  And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to
Abram.  

GEN 17:1  And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to
Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou
perfect.  

GEN 17:2  And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply
thee exceedingly.  

GEN 17:3  And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,  

GEN 17:4  As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a
father of many nations.  

GEN 17:5  Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be
Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.  

GEN 17:6  And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of
thee, and kings shall come out of thee.  

GEN 17:7  And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed
after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto
thee, and to thy seed after thee.  

GEN 17:8  And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land
wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting
possession; and I will be their God.  

GEN 17:9  And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore,
thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.  

GEN 17:10  This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy
seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.  

GEN 17:11  And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a
token of the covenant betwixt me and you.  

GEN 17:12  And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every
man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with
money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.  

GEN 17:13  He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money,
must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an
everlasting covenant.  

GEN 17:14  And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not
circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my
covenant.  

GEN 17:15  And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call
her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.  

GEN 17:16  And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will
bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of
her.  

GEN 17:17  Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart,
Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah,
that is ninety years old, bear?  

GEN 17:18  And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!  

GEN 17:19  And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou
shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an
everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.  

GEN 17:21  But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear
unto thee at this set time in the next year.  

GEN 17:22  And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.  

GEN 17:23  And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his
house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of
Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame
day, as God had said unto him.  

GEN 17:24  And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in
the flesh of his foreskin.  

GEN 17:25  And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised
in the flesh of his foreskin.  

GEN 17:26  In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.  

GEN 17:27  And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with
money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.  

GEN 18:1  And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in
the tent door in the heat of the day;  

GEN 18:2  And he lift 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,  

GEN 18:3  And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not
away, I pray thee, from thy servant:  

GEN 18:4  Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and
rest yourselves under the tree:  

GEN 18:5  And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after
that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said,
So do, as thou hast said.  

GEN 18:6  And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready
quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.  

GEN 18:7  And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and
gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.  

GEN 18:8  And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and
set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.  

GEN 18:9  And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold,
in the tent.  

GEN 18:10  And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time
of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the
tent door, which was behind him.  

GEN 18:11  Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it
ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.  

GEN 18:12  Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old
shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?  

GEN 18:13  And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying,
Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?  

GEN 18:14  Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will
return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.  

GEN 18:15  Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he
said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.  

GEN 18:16  And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham
went with them to bring them on the way.  

GEN 18:19  For I know him, that he will command his children and his household
after him, and they shall 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.  

GEN 18:23  And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous
with the wicked?  

GEN 18:24  Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also
destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?  

GEN 18:25  That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous
with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far
from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?  

GEN 18:26  And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the
city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.  

GEN 18:27  And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to
speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:  

GEN 18:28  Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou
destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and
five, I will not destroy it.  

GEN 18:29  And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall
be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.  

GEN 18:30  And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak:
Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it,
if I find thirty there.  

GEN 18:31  And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord:
Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy
it for twenty's sake.  

GEN 18:32  And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but
this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not
destroy it for ten's sake.  

GEN 18:33  And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with
Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.  

GEN 19:27  And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood
before the LORD:  

GEN 19:28  And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of
the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of
a furnace.  

GEN 20:1  And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and
dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.  

GEN 20:2  And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech
king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.  

GEN 20:3  But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him,
Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is
a man's wife.  

GEN 20:4  But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay
also a righteous nation?  

GEN 20:5  Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said,
He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I
done this.  

GEN 20:7  Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he
shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou
that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.  

GEN 20:9  Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done
unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my
kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.  

GEN 20:10  And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast
done this thing?  

GEN 20:11  And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in
this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.  

GEN 20:12  And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father,
but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.  

GEN 20:13  And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's
house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me;
at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.  

GEN 20:14  And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.  

GEN 20:15  And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it
pleaseth thee.  

GEN 20:16  And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand
pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that
are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.  

GEN 20:17  So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife,
and his maidservants; and they bare children.  

GEN 20:18  For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of
Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.  

GEN 21:2  For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set
time of which God had spoken to him.  

GEN 21:3  And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom
Sarah bare to him, Isaac.  

GEN 21:5  And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto
him.  

GEN 21:10  Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son:
for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.  

GEN 21:11  And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his
son.  

GEN 21:12  And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight
because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said
unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.  

GEN 21:13  And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he
is thy seed.  

GEN 21:14  And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a
bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the
child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of
Beersheba.  

GEN 21:22  And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the
chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all
that thou doest:  

GEN 21:23  Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal
falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the
kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land
wherein thou hast sojourned.  

GEN 21:24  And Abraham said, I will swear.  

GEN 21:25  And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which
Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.  

GEN 21:26  And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst
thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.  

GEN 21:27  And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and
both of them made a covenant.  

GEN 21:28  And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.  

GEN 21:29  And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs
which thou hast set by themselves?  

GEN 21:30  And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand,
that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.  

GEN 21:31  Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware
both of them.  

GEN 21:32  Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and
Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the
Philistines.  

GEN 21:33  And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the
name of the LORD, the everlasting God.  

GEN 21:34  And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.  

GEN 22:1  And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham,
and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.  

GEN 22:2  And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,
and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering
upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.  

GEN 22:3  And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for
the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told
him.  

GEN 22:4  Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place
afar off.  

GEN 22:5  And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I
and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.  

GEN 22:6  And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon
Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both
of them together.  

GEN 22:7  And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he
said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is
the lamb for a burnt offering?  

GEN 22:8  And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
offering: so they went both of them together.  

GEN 22:9  And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham
built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and
laid him on the altar upon the wood.  

GEN 22:10  And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his
son.  

GEN 22:11  And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said,
Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.  

GEN 22:12  And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any
thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son from me.  

GEN 22:13  And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a
ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and
offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.  

GEN 22:14  And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said
to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.  

GEN 22:15  And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the
second time,  

GEN 22:16  And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou
hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:  

GEN 22:17  That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will
multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the
sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;  

GEN 22:18  And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
because thou hast obeyed my voice.  

GEN 22:19  So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went
together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.  

GEN 23:2  And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of
Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.  

GEN 23:3  And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of
Heth, saying,  

GEN 23:4  I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a
buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.  

GEN 23:5  And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,  

GEN 23:6  Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of
our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre,
but that thou mayest bury thy dead.  

GEN 23:7  And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land,
even to the children of Heth.  

GEN 23:8  And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should
bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of
Zohar,  

GEN 23:9  That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in
the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a
possession of a buryingplace amongst you.  

GEN 23:10  And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite
answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went
in at the gate of his city, saying,  

GEN 23:11  Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is
therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it
thee: bury thy dead.  

GEN 23:12  And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.  

GEN 23:13  And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land,
saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money
for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.  

GEN 23:14  And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,  

GEN 23:15  My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of
silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.  

GEN 23:16  And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the
silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred
shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.  

GEN 23:17  And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before
Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in
the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure  

GEN 23:18  Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of
Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.  

GEN 23:19  And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the
field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.  

GEN 23:20  And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto
Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.  

GEN 24:1  And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had
blessed Abraham in all things.  

GEN 24:2  And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over
all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:  

GEN 24:3  And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God
of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of
the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:  

GEN 24:4  But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife
unto my son Isaac.  

GEN 24:5  And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be
willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the
land from whence thou camest?  

GEN 24:6  And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son
thither again.  

GEN 24:7  The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from
the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying,
Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and
thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.  

GEN 24:8  And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt
be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.  

GEN 24:9  And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master,
and sware to him concerning that matter.  

GEN 24:10  And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and
departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and
went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.  

GEN 24:12  And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me
good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.  

GEN 24:27  And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath
not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the
LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.  

GEN 24:34  And he said, I am Abraham's servant.  

GEN 24:35  And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great:
and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants,
and maidservants, and camels, and asses.  

GEN 24:36  And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old:
and unto him hath he given all that he hath.  

GEN 24:37  And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my
son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:  

GEN 24:38  But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take
a wife unto my son.  

GEN 24:39  And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. 


GEN 24:40  And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his
angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of
my kindred, and of my father's house:  

GEN 24:41  Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my
kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.  

GEN 24:42  And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master
Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:  

GEN 24:48  And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the
LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my
master's brother's daughter unto his son.  

GEN 24:49  And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and
if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.  

GEN 24:51  Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy
master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.  

GEN 24:52  And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words,
he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.  

GEN 24:54  And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and
tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away
unto my master.  

GEN 24:55  And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a
few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.  

GEN 24:56  And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered
my way; send me away that I may go to my master.  

GEN 24:59  And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's
servant, and his men.  

GEN 25:1  Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.  

GEN 25:2  And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and
Ishbak, and Shuah.  

GEN 25:3  And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were
Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.  

GEN 25:4  And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and
Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.  

GEN 25:5  And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.  

GEN 25:6  But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave
gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto
the east country.  

GEN 25:7  And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived,
an hundred threescore and fifteen years.  

GEN 25:8  Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old
man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.  

GEN 25:9  And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in
the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;  

GEN 25:10  The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was
Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.  

GEN 26:1  And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was
in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines
unto Gerar.  

GEN 26:5  Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my
commandments, my statutes, and my laws.  

GEN 35:27  And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of
Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.  

JOS 24:2  And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even
Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other
gods.  

JOS 24:3  And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and
led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him
Isaac.  

1CH 1:32  Now the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine: she bare Zimran, and
Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan;
Sheba, and Dedan.  

1CH 1:33  And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Henoch, and Abida, and
Eldaah. All these are the sons of Keturah.  

1CH 1:34  And Abraham begat Isaac. The sons of Isaac; Esau and Israel.  

2CH 20:7  Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land
before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for
ever?  

NEH 9:7  Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him
forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;  

NEH 9:8  And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with
him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his
seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:  

ISA 41:8  But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed
of Abraham my friend.  

ISA 51:2  Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I
called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.  

EZE 33:24  Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel
speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the
land is given us for inheritance.  

MIC 7:20  Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which
thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.  

MAT 3:9  And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father:
for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto
Abraham.  

MAT 8:11  And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and
shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.  

LUK 1:73  The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,  

LUK 13:16  And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan
hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath
day?  

LUK 13:28  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and
you yourselves thrust out.  

LUK 16:22  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;  

LUK 16:23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.  

LUK 16:24  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for
I am tormented in this flame.  

LUK 16:25  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst
thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and
thou art tormented.  

LUK 16:26  And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed:
so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to
us, that would come from thence.  

LUK 16:27  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send
him to my father's house:  

LUK 16:28  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they
also come into this place of torment.  

LUK 16:29  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them
hear them.  

LUK 16:30  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the
dead, they will repent.  

LUK 16:31  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.  

LUK 19:9  And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house,
forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.  

JOH 8:33  They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to
any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?  

JOH 8:34  Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin.  

JOH 8:35  And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth
ever.  

JOH 8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  

JOH 8:37  I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my
word hath no place in you.  

JOH 8:38  I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye
have seen with your father.  

JOH 8:39  They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith
unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.  

JOH 8:40  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which
I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.  

JOH 8:52  Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil.
Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he
shall never taste of death.  

JOH 8:53  Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the
prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?  

JOH 8:54  Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my
Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:  

JOH 8:55  Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know
him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.  

JOH 8:56  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was
glad.  

JOH 8:57  Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and
hast thou seen Abraham?  

JOH 8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am.  

JOH 8:59  Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and
went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.  

ACT 7:2  And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory
appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in
Charran,  

ACT 7:3  And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred,
and come into the land which I shall shew thee.  

ACT 7:4  Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran:
and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land,
wherein ye now dwell.  

ROM 4:1  What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the
flesh, hath found?  

ROM 4:2  For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but
not before God.  

ROM 4:3  For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted
unto him for righteousness.  

ROM 4:12  And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision
only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which
he had being yet uncircumcised.  

ROM 4:13  For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to
Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of
faith.  

ROM 4:14  For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the
promise made of none effect:  

ROM 4:16  Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the
promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but
to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,  

ROM 4:17  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before
him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those
things which be not as though they were.  

ROM 4:18  Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of
many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.  

ROM 4:19  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead,
when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's
womb:  

ROM 4:20  He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was
strong in faith, giving glory to God;  

ROM 4:21  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also
to perform.  

ROM 4:22  And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.  

ROM 15:8  Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the
truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:  

GAL 3:6  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for
righteousness.  

GAL 3:7  Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham.  

GAL 3:8  And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen
through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall
all nations be blessed.  

GAL 3:9  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.  

GAL 3:10  For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it
is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are
written in the book of the law to do them.  

GAL 3:11  But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is
evident: for, The just shall live by faith.  

GAL 3:12  And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live
in them.  

GAL 3:13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse
for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:  

GAL 3:14  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus
Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.  

GAL 3:15  Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's
covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.  

GAL 3:16  Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And
to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.  

GAL 3:17  And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in
Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul,
that it should make the promise of none effect.  

GAL 3:18  For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but
God gave it to Abraham by promise.  

GAL 3:29  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according
to the promise.  

GAL 4:22  For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid,
the other by a freewoman.  

GAL 4:23  But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of
the freewoman was by promise.  

GAL 4:24  Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one
from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.  

GAL 4:25  For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem
which now is, and is in bondage with her children.  

GAL 4:26  But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.  

GAL 4:27  For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth
and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than
she which hath an husband.  

GAL 4:28  Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.  

GAL 4:29  But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was
born after the Spirit, even so it is now.  

GAL 4:30  Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her
son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the
freewoman.  

GAL 4:31  So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the
free.  

HEB 6:13  For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himself,  

HEB 6:14  Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will
multiply thee.  

HEB 7:1  For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who
met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;  

HEB 7:2  To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by
interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which
is, King of peace;  

HEB 7:3  Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither
beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a
priest continually.  

HEB 7:4  Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch
Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.  

HEB 7:5  And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of
the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the
law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:  

HEB 7:6  But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of
Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.  

HEB 7:7  And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.  

HEB 7:8  And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of
whom it is witnessed that he liveth.  

HEB 7:9  And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in
Abraham.  

HEB 7:10  For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.  

HEB 11:8  By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he
should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing
whither he went.  

HEB 11:9  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country,
dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same
promise:  

HEB 11:10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and
maker is God.  

HEB 11:17  By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that
had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,  

HEB 11:18  Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:  

HEB 11:19  Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead;
from whence also he received him in a figure.  

JAM 2:21  Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered
Isaac his son upon the altar?  

JAM 2:22  Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith
made perfect?  

JAM 2:23  And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and
it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 


JAM 2:24  Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith
only.
