Gen 17:5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
Gen 17:9 And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
Gen 17:15 And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
Gen 17:17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”
Gen 17:18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
Gen 17:22 When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
Gen 17:23 Then Abraham took Ishmael his son and all those born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.
Gen 17:24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Gen 17:26 That very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.
Gen 18:6 And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick! Three seahs of fine flour! Knead it, and make cakes.”
Gen 18:7 And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly.
Gen 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years. The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah.
Gen 18:13 The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’
Gen 18:16 Then the men set out from there, and they looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way.
Gen 18:17 The Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
Gen 18:18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Gen 18:19 For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”
Gen 18:22 So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord.
Gen 18:23 Then Abraham drew near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Gen 18:27 Abraham answered and said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.
Gen 18:33 And the Lord went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
Gen 19:27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
Gen 19:29 So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.
Gen 20:1 From there Abraham journeyed toward the territory of the Negeb and lived between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
Gen 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Gen 20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done.”
Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you did this thing?”
Gen 20:11 Abraham said, “I did it because I thought, ‘There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’
Gen 20:14 Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned Sarah his wife to him.
Gen 20:17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and also healed his wife and female slaves so that they bore children.
Gen 20:18 For the Lord had closed all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
Gen 21:2 And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him.
Gen 21:3 Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac.
Gen 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Gen 21:5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
Gen 21:7 And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Gen 21:8 And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Gen 21:9 But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing.
Gen 21:10 So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.”
Gen 21:11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son.
Gen 21:12 But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named.
Gen 21:14 So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Gen 21:22 At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
Gen 21:24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Gen 21:25 When Abraham reproved Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
Gen 21:27 So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
Gen 21:28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart.
Gen 21:29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?”
Gen 21:34 And Abraham sojourned many days in the land of the Philistines.
Gen 22:1 After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Gen 22:3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.
Gen 22:4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.
Gen 22:5 Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you.”
Gen 22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together.
Gen 22:7 And Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
Gen 22:8 Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together.
Gen 22:9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Gen 22:10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
Gen 22:11 But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Gen 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
