Pure Cambridge Edition selected
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
¶ And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

    1THEN again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

    2And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

    3And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

    4And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

    5¶ And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

    6But 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.

    7And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.

    8Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.

    9And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

    10The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

    11¶ And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.

    12¶ Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

    13And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

    14And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

    15Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

    16These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.

    17And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.

    18And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.

    19¶ And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:

    20And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

    21And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

    22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the Lord.

    23And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

    24¶ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

    25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

    26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.

    27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

    28And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

    29¶ And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

    30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

    31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

    32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

    33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

    34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

    1NOW these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

    2Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

    3And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

    4And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;

    5And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

    6And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.

    7For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.

    8Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

    9¶ And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:

    10These are the names of Esau’s sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.

    11And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.

    12And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau’s wife.

    13And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife.

    14¶ And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.

    15¶ These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,

    16Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.

    17¶ And these are the sons of Reuel Esau’s son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife.

    18¶ And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau’s wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.

    19These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.

    20¶ These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,

    21And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

    22And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna.

    23And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

    24And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.

    25And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.

    26And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.

    27The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.

    28The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.

    29These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,

    30Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.

    31¶ And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.

    32And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

    33And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.

    34And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.

    35And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.

    36And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.

    37And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.

    38And Saul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.

    39And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

    40And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,

    41Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,

    42Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,

    43Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.

13:5¶ And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

13:6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

13:7And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

13:8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.

13:9Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

13:10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

13:11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

13:12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

13:13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
