Genesis Chapter 15:1

After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

Genesis Chapter 15:2

And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

Genesis Chapter 15:3

And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

Genesis Chapter 15:4

And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

Genesis Chapter 15:5

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

Genesis Chapter 15:6

And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Genesis Chapter 15:7

And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

Genesis Chapter 15:8

And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

Genesis Chapter 15:9

And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

Genesis Chapter 15:10

And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

Genesis Chapter 15:11

And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

Genesis Chapter 15:12

And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

Genesis Chapter 15:13

And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

Genesis Chapter 15:14

And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

Genesis Chapter 15:15

And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

Genesis Chapter 15:16

But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

Genesis Chapter 15:17

And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

Genesis Chapter 15:18

In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Genesis Chapter 15:19

The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

Genesis Chapter 15:20

And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

Genesis Chapter 15:21

And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Genesis Chapter 21:1

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

Genesis Chapter 21:2

For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

Genesis Chapter 21:3

And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

Genesis Chapter 21:4

And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

Genesis Chapter 21:5

And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

Genesis Chapter 21:6

And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

Genesis Chapter 21:7

And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

Genesis Chapter 21:8

And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

Genesis Chapter 21:9

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

Genesis Chapter 21:10

Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

Genesis Chapter 21:11

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.

Genesis Chapter 21:12

And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Genesis Chapter 21:13

And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

Genesis Chapter 21:14

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

Genesis Chapter 21:15

And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

Genesis Chapter 21:16

And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.

Genesis Chapter 21:17

And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

Genesis Chapter 21:18

Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

Genesis Chapter 21:19

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

Genesis Chapter 21:20

And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

Genesis Chapter 21:21

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

Genesis Chapter 21:22

And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:

Genesis Chapter 21:23

Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

Genesis Chapter 21:24

And Abraham said, I will swear.

Genesis Chapter 21:25

And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

Genesis Chapter 21:26

And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.

Genesis Chapter 21:27

And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

Genesis Chapter 21:28

And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

Genesis Chapter 21:29

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

Genesis Chapter 21:30

And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.

Genesis Chapter 21:31

Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.

Genesis Chapter 21:32

Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

Genesis Chapter 21:33

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

Genesis Chapter 21:34

And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.

Genesis Chapter 22:1

And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

Genesis Chapter 22:2

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Genesis Chapter 22:3

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

Genesis Chapter 22:4

Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

Genesis Chapter 22:5

And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

Genesis Chapter 22:6

And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

Genesis Chapter 22:7

And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

Genesis Chapter 22:8

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Genesis Chapter 22:9

And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

Genesis Chapter 22:10

And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

Genesis Chapter 22:11

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

Genesis Chapter 22:12

And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

Genesis Chapter 22:13

And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

Genesis Chapter 22:14

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.

Genesis Chapter 22:15

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

Genesis Chapter 22:16

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:

Genesis Chapter 22:17

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

Genesis Chapter 22:18

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Genesis Chapter 22:19

So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

Genesis Chapter 22:20

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;

Genesis Chapter 22:21

Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,

Genesis Chapter 22:22

And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

Genesis Chapter 22:23

And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

Genesis Chapter 22:24

And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

John Chapter 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Hebrews Chapter 11:17

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

Hebrews Chapter 11:18

Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

Hebrews Chapter 11:19

Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
