Bible (KJV) 01-03: Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus

01:013:001 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. 01:013:002 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 01:013:003 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; 01:013:004 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 01:013:005 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 01:013:006 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. 01:013:007 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. 01:013:008 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. 01:013:009 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. 01:013:010 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 thou comest unto Zoar. 01:013:011 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 01:013:012 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 01:013:013 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. 01:013:014 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: 01:013:015 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 01:013:016 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. 01:013:017 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. 01:013:018 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. 01:014:001 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; 01:014:002 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. 01:014:003 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. 01:014:004 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 01:014:005 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, 01:014:006 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness. 01:014:007 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar. 01:014:008 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; 01:014:009 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. 01:014:010 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain. 01:014:011 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. 01:014:012 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. 01:014:013 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. 01:014:014 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. 01:014:015 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. 01:014:016 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. 01:014:017 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. 01:014:018 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 01:014:019 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 01:014:020 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. 01:014:021 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 01:014:022 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, 01:014:023 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: 01:014:024 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. 01:015:001 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. 01:015:002 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? 01:015:003 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. 01:015:004 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. 01:015:005 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. 01:015:006 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. 01:015:007 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. 01:015:008 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? 01:015:009 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. 01:015:010 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. 01:015:011 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away. 01:015:012 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. 01:015:013 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy 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; 01:015:014 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 01:015:015 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 01:015:016 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. 01:015:017 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. 01:015:018 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: 01:015:019 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 01:015:020 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 01:015:021 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. 01:016:001 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 01:016:002 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 01:016:003 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. 01:016:004 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 01:016:005 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee. 01:016:006 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. 01:016:007 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. 01:016:008 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 01:016:009 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. 01:016:010 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 01:016:011 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 01:016:012 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 brethren. 01:016:013 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? 01:016:014 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 01:016:015 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael. 01:016:016 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram. 01:017:001 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. 01:017:002 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 01:017:003 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 01:017:004 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 01:017:005 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. 01:017:006 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 01:017:007 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. 01:017:008 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. 01:017:009 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 01:017:010 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. 01:017:011 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. 01:017:012 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. 01:017:013 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. 01:017:014 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. 01:017:015 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 01:017:016 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. 01:017:017 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? 01:017:018 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 01:017:019 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. 01:017:020 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: 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. 01:017:021 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 01:017:022 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. 01:017:023 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. 01:017:024 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 01:017:025 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 01:017:026 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. 01:017:027 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. 01:018:001 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 01:018:002 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, 01:018:003 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 01:018:004 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 01:018:005 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. 01:018:006 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. 01:018:007 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. 01:018:008 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. 01:018:009 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 01:018:010 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. 01:018:011 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 01:018:012 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 01:018:013 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 01:018:014 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. 01:018:015 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. 01:018:016 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 01:018:017 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 01:018:018 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 01:018:019 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. 01:018:020 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 01:018:021 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. 01:018:022 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 01:018:023 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 01:018:024 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 01:018:025 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? 01:018:026 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. 01:018:027 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: 01:018:028 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. 01:018:029 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. 01:018:030 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. 01:018:031 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. 01:018:032 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. 01:018:033 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
