Genesis 9-19

9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers. 
9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 
9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 
9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 
9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. 
10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood. 
10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 
10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 
10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 
10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 
10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 
10:7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 
10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 
10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: why it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 
10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 
10:11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 
10:12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 
10:13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 
10:14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 
10:15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, 
10:16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 
10:17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 
10:18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 
10:19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, to Gaza; as you go, to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha. 
10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 
10:21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 
10:22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 
10:23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 
10:24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 
10:25 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 
10:26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 
10:27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 
10:28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 
10:29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 
10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar a mount of the east. 
10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 
10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. 
11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 
11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelled there. 
11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 
11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the face of the whole earth. 
11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built. 
11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 
11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 
11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 
11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from there did the LORD scatter them abroad on the face of all the earth. 
11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: 
11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 
11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: 
11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 
11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 
11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 
11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: 
11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 
11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: 
11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. 
11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: 
11:21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. 
11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: 
11:23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 
11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: 
11:25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 
11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 
11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. 
11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 
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. 
11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child. 
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 to Haran, and dwelled there. 
11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. 
12:1 Now the LORD had said to Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you: 
12:2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing: 
12:3 And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed. 
12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. 
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. 
12:6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 
12:7 And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, To your seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar to the LORD, who appeared to him. 
12:8 And he removed from there to a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar to the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD. 
12:9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. 
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. 
12:11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a fair woman to look on: 
12:12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see you, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save you alive. 
12:13 Say, I pray you, you are my sister: that it may be well with me for your sake; and my soul shall live because of you. 
12:14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 
12:15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 
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. 
12:17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. 
12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 
12:19 Why said you, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold your wife, take her, and go your way. 
12:20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. 
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. 
13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 
13:3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 
13:4 To the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 
13:5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 
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. 
13:7 And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 
13:8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we be brothers. 
13:9 Is not the whole land before you? separate yourself, I pray you, from me: if you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 
13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you come to Zoar. 
13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 
13:12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 
13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. 
13:14 And the LORD said to Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 
13:15 For all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever. 
13:16 And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be numbered. 
13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to you. 
13:18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelled in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar to the LORD. 
14:1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; 
14:2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. 
14:3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. 
14:4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 
14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim, 
14:6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness. 
14:7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelled in Hazezontamar. 
14:8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim; 
14:9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five. 
14:10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain. 
14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. 
14:12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelled in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. 
14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelled in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. 
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 to Dan. 
14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. 
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. 
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. 
14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 
14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 
14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him tithes of all. 
14:21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to yourself. 
14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up my hand to the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, 
14:23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich: 
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. 
15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward. 
15:2 And Abram said, LORD God, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 
15:3 And Abram said, Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, see, one born in my house is my heir. 
15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir. 
15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if you be able to number them: and he said to him, So shall your seed be. 
15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. 
15:7 And he said to him, I am the LORD that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it. 
15:8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? 
15:9 And he said to 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. 
15:10 And he took to him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. 
15:11 And when the fowls came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. 
15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram; and, see, an horror of great darkness fell on him. 
15:13 And he said to Abram, Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 
15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 
15:15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age. 
15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come here again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. 
15:17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. 
15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: 
15:19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 
15:20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 
15:21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. 
16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bore him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 
16:2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing: I pray you, go in to my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 
16:3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. 
16:4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 
16:5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on you: I have given my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and you. 
16:6 But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as it pleases you. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. 
16:7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. 
16:8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, from where came you? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 
16:9 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands. 
16:10 And the angel of the LORD said to her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 
16:11 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael; because the LORD has heard your affliction. 
16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brothers. 
16:13 And she called the name of the LORD that spoke to her, You God see me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that sees me? 
16:14 Why the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 
16:15 And Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael. 
16:16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram. 
17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be you perfect. 
17:2 And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly. 
17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 
17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 
17:5 Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you. 
17:6 And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you. 
17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you, and to your seed after you. 
17:8 And I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land wherein you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 
17:9 And God said to Abraham, You shall keep my covenant therefore, you, and your seed after you in their generations. 
17:10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 
17:11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you. 
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 your seed. 
17:13 He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 
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 has broken my covenant. 
17:15 And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 
17:16 And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her: yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. 
17:17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? 
17:18 And Abraham said to God, O that Ishmael might live before you! 
17:19 And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed; and you shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 
17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 
17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year. 
17:22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. 
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 to him. 
17:24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 
17:25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 
17:26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. 
17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. 
18:1 And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 
18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, see, 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, 
18:3 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favor in your sight, pass not away, I pray you, from your servant: 
18:4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 
18:5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort you your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are you come to your servant. And they said, So do, as you have said. 
18:6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes on the hearth. 
18:7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to a young man; and he hurried to dress it. 
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. 
18:9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 
18:10 And he said, I will certainly return to you according to the time of life; and, see, Sarah your wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. 
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. 
18:12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 
18:13 And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 
18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 
18:15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but you did laugh. 
18:16 And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 
18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 
18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 
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 on Abraham that which he has spoken of him. 
18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 
18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know. 
18:22 And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 
18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Will you also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 
18:24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: will you also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 
18:25 That be far from you 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 you: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 
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. 
18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken on me to speak to the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: 
18:28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: will you destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 
18:29 And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. 
18:30 And he said to 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. 
18:31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken on me to speak to the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. 
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. 
18:33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place. 
19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; 
19:2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and you shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, No; but we will abide in the street all night. 
19:3 And he pressed on them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. 
19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 
19:5 And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men which came in to you this night? bring them out to us, that we may know them. 
19:6 And Lot went out at the door to them, and shut the door after him, 
19:7 And said, I pray you, brothers, do not so wickedly. 
19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do you to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. 
19:9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with you, than with them. And they pressed sore on the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 
19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 
19:11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 
19:12 And the men said to Lot, Have you here any besides? son in law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whatever you have in the city, bring them out of this place: 
19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD has sent us to destroy it. 
19:14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked to his sons in law. 
19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters, which are here; lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 
19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful to him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. 
19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for your life; look not behind you, neither stay you in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed. 
19:18 And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my LORD: 
19:19 Behold now, your servant has found grace in your sight, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have showed to me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: 
19:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. 
19:21 And he said to him, See, I have accepted you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which you have spoken. 
19:22 Haste you, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till you be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 
19:23 The sun was risen on the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 
19:24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 
19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground. 
19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. 
19:27 And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: 
19:28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, see, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. 
19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelled. 
19:30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelled in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelled in a cave, he and his two daughters. 
19:31 And the firstborn said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth: 
19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 
19:33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 
19:34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go you in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 
19:35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 
19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. 
19:37 And the first born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day. 
19:38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
