Haran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran
begat Lot.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
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.
30 But Sarai was barren; she
had no child.
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.
32 And the days of Terah were two
hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
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:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still
toward the south.
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.
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:
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.
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.
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram
was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 The princes also of
Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
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.
17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with
great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
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?
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.
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.
2
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
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;
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.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
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.
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.
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.
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.
10 And
Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before
