11:10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arpachshad two years after the flood. 11:11 And Shem lived after he begot Arpachshad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. {S} 11:12 And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begot Shelah. 11:13 And Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. {S} 11:14 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber. 11:15 And Shelah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. {S} 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begot Peleg. 11:17 And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters. {S} 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu. 11:19 And Peleg lived after he begot Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. {S} 11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begot Serug. 11:21 And Reu lived after he begot Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters. {S} 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor. 11:23 And Serug lived after he begot Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. {S} 11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Terah. 11:25 And Nahor lived after he begot Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters. {S} 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot. 11:28 And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 11:30 And Sarai was barren; she had no child. 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran. {P}

A 12:1 Now the LORD said unto Abram: 'Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee. 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing. 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.' 12:4 So Abram went, 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. 12:5 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. 12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the terebinth of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said: 'Unto thy seed will I give this land'; and he builded there an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

A 12:10 And there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land. 12:11 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. 12:12 And it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say: This is his wife; and they will kill me, but thee they will keep alive. 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.' 12:14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 12:15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 12:16 And he dealt well with Abram for her sake; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels. 12:17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. 12:18 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? 12:19 Why saidst thou: She is my sister? so that I took her to be my wife; now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.' 12:20 And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him; and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had. 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. 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

B 12:8 And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east; and he builded there an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. 12:9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South. {P}

B 13:3 And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai; 13:4 unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and Abram called there on the name of the LORD.
