יְהוֹוָה

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,

And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
