Genesis 12 (King James Version)
  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.

Genesis 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 make 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 the LORD destroyed Sodom  
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt,  
as thou comest unto Zoar.

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

  12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the  
cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

  13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD  
exceedingly.

  14 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:

  15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to  
thy seed for ever.

  16 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.

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

  18 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.


Genesis 16
  1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an  
handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

  2 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.

  3 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.

  4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw  
that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

  5 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.

  6 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.

  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.

  8 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.

  9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress,  
and submit thyself under her hands.

  10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed  
exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

  11 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.

  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 brethren.

  13 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?

  14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between  
Kadesh and Bered.

  15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name,  
which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

  16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare  
Ishmael to Abram.
