Ask a Question"As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
"This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised;
"He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant.
"He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
"And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant."
Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"
Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" So he said, "Here, in the tent."
"Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."
And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave,
"See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof."
"See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live."
Now the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth to come in to us as is the custom of all the earth.
The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name BenAmmi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.
Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife."
"Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister'? And she, even she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this."
"Now therefore, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours."
And Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife.
"But indeed she is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
