Sarah's death

(1)  And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old:  these were the years of the life of Sarah.
(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.*
(3)  And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 
(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.
(5)  And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
(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.*
(7)  And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
(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,
(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.
(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,*

Abraham offers Isaac

(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.
(14)  And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh: as it is said to this day,  In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
(15)  And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 
(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:
(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;*
(18)  And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
(19)  So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
(20)  And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying,  Behold,  Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;*
(21)  Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kenuel the father of Aram.*
(22)  And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
(23)  And Bethuel begat Rebekah:  these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
(24)  And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

Abraham offers Isaac

(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.
(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 here for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.*
(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.
(4)  Then on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.
(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.
(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.*
(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?
(8)  And Abraham said,  My son,  God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:  so they went both of them together.
(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.
(10) And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
(11) And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said,  Abraham, Abraham:  and he said,  Here am I.
(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.*

Lot entertains angels

(24)  Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven.*
(25)  And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.*
(26)  But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.*
(27)  And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
(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.*
(29)  And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst 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.

(16)  And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the band of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him, and they brought him forth and set him without the city.*
(17)  And it came to pass when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said,  Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.*
(18)  And Lot said unto them,  Oh, not so, my Lord:
(19)  Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life: and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
(20)  Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one:  Oh, let me escape thither,  (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
(21)  And he said unto him,  See,  I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which, thou hast spoken.*
(22)  Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither.  Therefore the name of the city was called *Zoar.*
(23)  The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

Lot entertains angels

(9)  And they said,  Stand back.  And they said again,  This one fellow came into sojourn, and he will needs be a judge:  now will we deal worse with thee, than with them.  And they pressed sore upon the man, 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 shut to the door.
(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.*
(12) And the men said unto Lot,  Hast thou here any besides?  son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place.
(13) For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
(14) And Lot went out, and spake unto 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 unto his sons in law.
(15) And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying,  Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the *iniquity of the city.*
