Abraham 2
Now
the
Lord
God
caused
the
a
famine
to
wax
sore
in
the
land
of
Ur,
insomuch
that
b
Haran,
my
brother,
died;
but
c
Terah,
my
father,
yet
lived
in
the
land
of
Ur,
of
the
Chaldees.
2 And
it
came
to
pass
that
I,
Abraham,
took
a
Sarai
to
wife,
and
b
Nahor,
my
brother,
took
Milcah
to
wife,
who
was
the
c
daughter
of
Haran.
3 Now
the
Lord
had
a
said
unto
me:
Abraham,
get
thee
out
of
thy
country,
and
from
thy
kindred,
and
from
thy
father's
house,
unto
a
land
that
I
will
show
thee.
4 Therefore
I
left
the
land
of
a
Ur,
of
the
Chaldees,
to
go
into
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
I
took
Lot,
my
brother's
son,
and
his
wife,
and
Sarai
my
wife;
and
also
my
b
father
followed
after
me,
unto
the
land
which
we
denominated
Haran.
5 And
the
famine
abated;
and
my
father
tarried
in
Haran
and
dwelt
there,
as
there
were
many
flocks
in
Haran;
and
my
father
turned
again
unto
his
a
idolatry,
therefore
he
continued
in
Haran.
6 But
I,
Abraham,
and
Lot,
my
brother's
son,
prayed
unto
the
Lord,
and
the
Lord
a
appeared
unto
me,
and
said
unto
me:
Arise,
and
take
Lot
with
thee;
for
I
have
purposed
to
take
thee
away
out
of
Haran,
and
to
make
of
thee
a
b
minister
to
bear
my
c
name
in
a
strange
d
land
which
I
will
give
unto
thy
seed
after
thee
for
an
everlasting
possession,
when
they
hearken
to
my
voice.
7 For
I
am
the
Lord
thy
God;
I
dwell
in
a
heaven;
the
earth
is
my
b
footstool;
I
stretch
my
hand
over
the
sea,
and
it
obeys
my
voice;
I
cause
the
wind
and
the
fire
to
be
my
c
chariot;
I
say
to
the
mountains—Depart
hence—and
behold,
they
are
taken
away
by
a
whirlwind,
in
an
instant,
suddenly.
8 My
a
name
is
Jehovah,
and
I
b
know
the
end
from
the
beginning;
therefore
my
hand
shall
be
over
thee.
9 And
I
will
make
of
thee
a
great
a
nation,
and
I
will
b
bless
thee
above
measure,
and
make
thy
name
great
among
all
nations,
and
thou
shalt
be
a
blessing
unto
thy
seed
after
thee,
that
in
their
hands
they
shall
bear
this
ministry
and
c
Priesthood
unto
all
nations;
10 And
I
will
a
bless
them
through
thy
name;
for
as
many
as
receive
this
b
Gospel
shall
be
called
after
thy
c
name,
and
shall
be
accounted
thy
d
seed,
and
shall
rise
up
and
bless
thee,
as
their
e
father;
11 And
I
will
a
bless
them
that
bless
thee,
and
b
curse
them
that
curse
thee;
and
in
thee
(that
is,
in
thy
Priesthood)
and
in
thy
c
seed
(that
is,
thy
Priesthood),
for
I
give
unto
thee
a
promise
that
this
d
right
shall
continue
in
thee,
and
in
thy
seed
after
thee
(that
is
to
say,
the
literal
seed,
or
the
seed
of
the
body)
shall
all
the
families
of
the
earth
be
blessed,
even
with
the
blessings
of
the
Gospel,
which
are
the
blessings
of
salvation,
even
of
life
eternal.
12 Now,
after
the
Lord
had
withdrawn
from
speaking
to
me,
and
withdrawn
his
face
from
me,
I
said
in
my
heart:
Thy
servant
has
a
sought
thee
earnestly;
now
I
have
found
thee;
13 Thou
didst
send
thine
angel
to
a
deliver
me
from
the
gods
of
Elkenah,
and
I
will
do
well
to
hearken
unto
thy
voice,
therefore
let
thy
servant
rise
up
and
depart
in
peace.
14 So
I,
Abraham,
departed
as
the
Lord
had
said
unto
me,
and
Lot
with
me;
and
I,
Abraham,
was
a
sixty
and
two
years
old
when
I
departed
out
of
Haran.
15 And
I
took
Sarai,
whom
I
took
to
wife
when
I
was
in
Ur,
in
Chaldea,
and
Lot,
my
brother's
son,
and
all
our
substance
that
we
had
gathered,
and
the
souls
that
we
had
a
won
in
Haran,
and
came
forth
in
the
way
to
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
dwelt
in
tents
as
we
came
on
our
way;
16 Therefore,
a
eternity
was
our
covering
and
our
b
rock
and
our
salvation,
as
we
journeyed
from
Haran
by
the
way
of
c
Jershon,
to
come
to
the
land
of
Canaan.
17 Now
I,
Abraham,
built
an
a
altar
in
the
land
of
Jershon,
and
made
an
offering
unto
the
Lord,
and
prayed
that
the
b
famine
might
be
turned
away
from
my
father's
house,
that
they
might
not
perish.
18 And
then
we
passed
from
Jershon
through
the
land
unto
the
place
of
Sechem;
it
was
situated
in
the
plains
of
Moreh,
and
we
had
already
come
into
the
borders
of
the
land
of
the
a
Canaanites,
and
I
offered
b
sacrifice
there
in
the
plains
of
Moreh,
and
called
on
the
Lord
devoutly,
because
we
had
already
come
into
the
land
of
this
idolatrous
nation.
19 And
the
Lord
a
appeared
unto
me
in
answer
to
my
prayers,
and
said
unto
me:
Unto
thy
seed
will
I
give
this
b
land.
20 And
I,
Abraham,
arose
from
the
place
of
the
altar
which
I
had
built
unto
the
Lord,
and
removed
from
thence
unto
a
mountain
on
the
east
of
a
Bethel,
and
pitched
my
tent
there,
Bethel
on
the
west,
and
b
Hai
on
the
east;
and
there
I
built
another
c
altar
unto
the
Lord,
and
d
called
again
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord.
21 And
I,
Abraham,
journeyed,
going
on
still
towards
the
south;
and
there
was
a
continuation
of
a
famine
in
the
land;
and
I,
Abraham,
concluded
to
go
down
into
Egypt,
to
sojourn
there,
for
the
famine
became
very
grievous.
22 And
it
came
to
pass
when
I
was
come
near
to
enter
into
Egypt,
the
Lord
a
said
unto
me:
Behold,
Sarai,
thy
wife,
is
a
very
fair
woman
to
look
upon;
23 Therefore
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
the
Egyptians
shall
see
her,
they
will
say—She
is
his
wife;
and
they
will
kill
you,
but
they
will
save
her
alive;
therefore
see
that
ye
do
on
this
wise:
24 Let
her
say
unto
the
Egyptians,
she
is
thy
sister,
and
thy
soul
shall
live.
25 And
it
came
to
pass
that
I,
Abraham,
told
Sarai,
my
wife,
all
that
the
Lord
had
said
unto
me—Therefore
say
unto
them,
I
pray
thee,
thou
art
my
a
sister,
that
it
may
be
well
with
me
for
thy
sake,
and
my
soul
shall
live
because
of
thee.
