And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and abraham went with them to bring them on the way. And the LORD said, Shall I hide from abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 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. read more And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but abraham stood yet before the LORD. And abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 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 abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with abraham: and abraham returned unto his place. show less

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

And abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

And abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,

• Concubinage

But unto the sons of the concubines, which abraham had, abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

• Adoption
• Angel

The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

• Reproof

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

And I took your father abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

Doubtless thou art our father, though abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

• Covenant
• Truth

Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

So all the generations from abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

And he said, Nay, father abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
