The Beginning (Genesis) 13

1And Exalted Father (Abram) went up out of Double Straights (Egypt), he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Covering (Lot) with him, into the south.

 2And Exalted Father (Abram) was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

 3And he went on his journeys from the south to the House of God (Bethel), to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between House of God (Bethel) and Heap of Ruins (Hai);

 4To the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Exalted Father (Abram) called on the name of I AM (the LORD - Yehovah).

 5And Covering (Lot) also, who went with Exalted Father (Abram), had flocks, and herds, and tents.

 6And 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.

 7And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Exalted Father's (Abram) cattle and the herdsmen of Covering's (Lot) cattle: and the Humbled Ones (Canaanite) and the Village Dwellers (Perizzite) also dwelt then in the land.

 8And Exalted Father (Abram) said to Covering (Lot), Let's not fight, you and me, or my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 

9 Look, you can have your choice of the land, if you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you choose to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

 10And Covering (Lot) lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Descender (Jordan), that it was well watered every where, before I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) destroyed Burning (Sodom) and Tyrants (Gomorrah), even as the garden of I AM (the LORD - Yehovah), like the land of Double Straights (Egypt), as you come to Insignificance (Zoar).

 11Then Covering (Lot) chose all the plain of the Descender (Jordan); and Covering (Lot) journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

 12Exalted Father (Abram) dwelt in the land of Humbled One (Canaan), and Covering (Lot) dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Burning (Sodom).

 13But the men of Burning (Sodom) were wicked and sinners before I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) exceedingly.

 14And the I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) said unto Exalted Father (Abram), after Covering (Lot) was separated from him, Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

 15For all the land which you see, I give to you, and to your seed for ever.

 16And 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.

 17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to you.

 18Then Exalted Father (Abram ) removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Strength (Mamre), which is in Association (Hebron), and built there an altar unto I AM (the LORD - Yehovah).

The Beginning (Genesis)12

1Now I AM (the LORD – Yehovah) said to Exalted Father (Abram), Get out of Your country, and away from your native land and from your family, and go to a land that I will show you:

 2And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing:

 3And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.

 4So Exalted Father (Abram) departed, as I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) had told him to do; and Covering (Lot) went with him: and Exalted Father (Abram) was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Mountaineer (Haran).

 5And Exalted Father (Abram) took Princess (Sarai) his wife, and Covering (Lot) his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Mountaineer (Haran); and they went tothe land of the Humbled One (Canaan).

 6And Exalted Father (Abram) passed through the land of Upper Back-Shoulders (Sichem), to the plain of the Teacher (Moreh). And the Humbled One (Cannanite) was then in the land.

 7And I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) appeared to Exalted Father (Abram), and said, To your seed will I give this land: and there he built an altar to I AM (the LORD - Yehovah), who appeared to him.

 8And he went from there to a mountain on the east of the House of God (Bethel), and pitched his tent, having the House of God (Bethel) on the west, and Heap of Ruins (Hai) on the east: and there he built an altar unto I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) , and called on the name of I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) .

 9And Exalted Father (Abram) journeyed, further toward the south.

 10And there was a famine in the land: and Exalted Father (Abram) went down to the Land of the Copts (Egypt) to stay there; for the famine was severe in the land.

 11When he was about to enter the Land of the Copts (Egypt), that he said unto Princess (Sarai) his wife, Look, you are a beautiful woman:

 12 When the Copts (Egyptians) see you, that they will say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will keep you alive.

 13 Please say you are my sister so they won't want to kill me.

 14When Exalted Father (Abram) came into the Land of the Copts (Egypt), the Copts (Egyptians) saw that Princess (Sarai) was very fair.

 15The princes of Great House (Pharaoh) also saw her, and told Great House (Pharaoh) about her: and the woman was taken into Great House's (Pharaoh's) house.

 16And he lavished Exalted Father (Abram) with gifts for her sake, sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

 17And I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) plagued Great House (Pharaoh) and his house with great plagues because of Princess (Sarai) Exalted Father's (Abram) wife.

 18And Great House (Pharaoh) called Exalted Father (Abram) and said, What have you done to me? why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?

 19Why did you say, She is my sister? I might have taken her as my wife! Here is your wife, take her, and go your way.

 20And Great House (Pharaoh) commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

The Beginning (Genesis) 11

 1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in The Land of Two Rivers (Shinar); and they dwelt there.

 3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime for morter.

 4And they said, 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 upon the face of the whole earth.

 5And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

 6And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said, Behold, the people are 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.

 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

 8So I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.

 9Therefore is the name of it called Confusion (Babel); because I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) confounded the language of all the earth there: and from there I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

 10These are the generations of Renowned (Shem): Renowned (Shem) was an hundred years old, and begat I Shall Fail as the Breast: He Cursed the Breast-Bottle (Arphaxad) two years after the flood:

 11And Renowned (Shem) lived after he begat I Shall Fail as the Breast: He Cursed the Breast-Bottle (Arphaxad) five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

 12And I Shall Fail as the Breast: He Cursed the Breast-Bottle (Arphaxad) lived five and thirty years, and begat Sprout (Salah):

 13And I Shall Fail as the Breast: He Cursed the Breast-Bottle (Arphaxad) lived after he begat Sprout (Salah) four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

 14And Sprout (Salah) lived thirty years, and begat The Region Beyond (Eber):

 15And Sprout (Salah) lived after he begat The Region Beyond (Eber) four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

 16And The Region Beyond (Eber) lived four and thirty years, and begat Division (Peleg):

 17And The Region Beyond (Eber) lived after he begat Division (Peleg) four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

 18And Division (Peleg) lived thirty years, and begat Friend (Reu):

 19And Division (Peleg) lived after he begat Friend (Reu) two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

 20And Friend (Reu) lived two and thirty years, and begat Branch (Serug):

 21And Friend (Reu) lived after he begat Branch (Serug) two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

 22And Branch (Serug) lived thirty years, and begat Snorting (Nahor) :

 23And Branch (Serug) lived after he begat Snorting (Nahor) two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

 24And Snorting (Nahor) lived nine and twenty years, and begat Spirited Station (Terah):

 25And Snorting (Nahor) lived after he begat Spirited Station (Terah)an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

 26And Spirited Station (Terah)lived seventy years, and begat Exhalted Father (Abram), Snorting (Nahor), and Mountianeer (Haran).

 27Now these are the generations of Spirited Station (Terah): Spirited Station (Terah) begat Exhalted Father (Abram), Snorting (Nahor), and Mountianeer (Haran); and Mountianeer (Haran) begat Covering (Lot).

 28And Mountianeer (Haran) died before his father Spirited Station (Terah) in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

 29And Exhalted Father (Abram) and Snorting (Nahor) took wives: the name of Exhalted Father's (Abram) wife was Princess (Sarai); and the name of Snorting's (Nahor) wife was Queen (Milcah), the daughter of Mountianeer (Haran), the father of Queen (Milcah), and the father of One Who Looks Forth (Iscah).

 30But Princess (Sarai) was barren; she had no child.

 31And Spirited Station (Terah) took Exhalted Father (Abram) his son, and Covering (Lot) the son of Mountianeer (Haran) his son's son, and Princess (Sarai) his daughter in law, his son Exhalted Father's (Abram) wife; and they went forth with them from Flame of the Clod Breakers (Ur of the Chaldees), to go into the land of Humbled One (Canaan); and they came unto Mountianeer (Haran), and dwelt there.

 32And the days of Spirited Station (Terah) were two hundred and five years: and Spirited Station (Terah) died in Mountianeer (Haran).
