And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy feed after thee, in their generations for an everlasting covenant; to be a God unto thee, and to thy feed after thee.

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy feed after thee, the land wherein thou art a ftran ger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting poffeffion; and I will be their God.

99 And God faid unto Abram, Thou fhalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy feed after thee in their generations.

To This is my covenant, which ye shall keep between me, and you, and thy feed after thee; Every man-child among you shall be circumcifed.

16 And the men rofe up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17 And the LORD faid, fhall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

18 Seeing that Abraham fhall furely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nati ons of the earth thall be blefled in him?

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

20 And the LORD faid, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their fin 18 very grievous;

3 And faid, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy fight, país not away, I pray thee, from thy fervant.

4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetch ed, and wash your feet, and reft your felves under the tree.

And I will fetch a morfel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you' fhall pais on for therefore are ye come to your fervant. And they faid, So do as thou haft faid.

6 And Abraham haftned unto the tent unto Sarah, and faid, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

23 And Abraham drew near, and faid, Wilt thou alfo destroy the righteous with the wicked?

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou alfo deftroy, and not fpare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to flay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous fhould be as the wicked, that be far from thee: fhall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

26 And the LORD faid, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will fpare all the place for their fakes.

27And Abraham anfwered and faid,Behold now, I have taken upon me to fpeak unto the Lord, which am but duft and alhes.

28 Perad enture there fhall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou deftroy all the city for lack of five? And he faid, If I find there forty and five, I will not deftroy it.

And there came two angels to Sodom at cape for thy life; look not behind thee, nei

2 And he laid, Behold now my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your fervants houfe, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye fhall rife up early, and go on your ways. And they laid, Nay, but we will abide in the fureet all night.

3 And he preffed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entred into his houte: and he made them a feaft, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

44 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compaffed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter.

5 And they called unto Lot, and faid unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and fhut the door after him,

And faid, I pray you, brethren, do not fo wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as good in your eyes: only unto thefe men do nothing; for therefore came they under the fhadow of my roof.

9 And they faid, Stand back. And they faid again, This one fellow came in to fojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worfe with thee, than with them. And they preffed fore upon the aran, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and thut to the door.

12 And the men faid unto Lot, Haft thou here any befides? fon in law, and thy fons, and thy daughters, and whatfoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place.

13 For we will deftroy this place: becaufe the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD hath fent us to deftroy it.

14 And Lot went out, and fpake anto his fons in law, which married his daughters, and laid, Up, get ye out of this place; for the LORD will deftroy this city but he feemed as one that mocked unto his fons in law.

15 And when the morning arofe, then the angels haftned Lot, laying, Arife, take thy wife, and thy two daughters which are here; left thou be confumed in the iniquity of the city.

20 Behold now, this city near to flee unto, and it a little one: Oh let me elcape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my foul fball live.

21 And he faid unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing alfo, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou haft spoken.

22 Hate thee, efcape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither: therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 4 The fun was rifên upon the earth when Lot entred into Zoar.

24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimftone and fire from the LORD out of heaven.

25 And he overthrew thofe cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning, to the place where he ftood before the LORD.

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

29 And it came to pals, when God defroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembred Abraham, and fent Lot out of the midit of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities, in the which Lot dwelt.

30 And Lot went up out of 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.

2 And Abraham faid of Sarah his wife, She my fifter: And Abimelech king of Gerar fent and took Sarah.

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and faid to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou haft taken: for he is a mans wife.

4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he faid, LORD, wilt thou flay alfo a righteous nation?

Said he not unto me, She is my fifter? and the, even the her felf faid, He my brother: in the integrity of my heart, and inno cency of my hands have I done this.

10 And Abimelech faid unto Abraham, What faweft thou, that thou haft done this thing?

2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a fon in his old age, at the fet time of which God had fpoken to him.

3 And Abraham called the name of his fon that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Ifaac.

4 And Abraham circumcifed his fon Ifaac, being eight days old, as God had command

And the faid, who would have faid unto Abraham, that Sarah fhould have given children fuck? for I have born bim a fen in his old age.
