¹ καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ αβραμ ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς γῆς σου καὶ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας σου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἄν σοι δείξω

² καὶ ποιήσω σε εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ εὐλογήσω σε καὶ μεγαλυνῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου καὶ ἔσῃ εὐλογητός

³ καὶ εὐλογήσω τοὺς εὐλογοῦντάς σε καὶ τοὺς καταρωμένους σε καταράσομαι καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς

⁴ καὶ ἐπορεύθη αβραμ καθάπερ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ κύριος καὶ ὤ|χετο μετ' αὐτοῦ λωτ αβραμ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε ὅτε ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ χαρραν

⁵ καὶ ἔλαβεν αβραμ τὴν σαραν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν λωτ υἱὸν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν ὅσα ἐκτήσαντο καὶ πᾶσαν ψυχήν ἣν ἐκτήσαντο ἐν χαρραν καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν χανααν καὶ ἦλθον εἰς γῆν χανααν

⁶ καὶ διώδευσεν αβραμ τὴν γῆν εἰς τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ τόπου συχεμ ἐπὶ τὴν δρῦν τὴν ὑψηλήν οἱ δὲ χαναναῖοι τότε κατῴκουν τὴν γῆν

⁷ καὶ ὤφθη κύριος τῷ αβραμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τῷ σπέρματί σου δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ αβραμ θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ ὀφθέντι αὐτῷ

⁸ καὶ ἀπέστη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατ' ἀνατολὰς βαιθηλ καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ βαιθηλ κατὰ θάλασσαν καὶ αγγαι κατ' ἀνατολάς καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου

⁹ καὶ ἀπῆρεν αβραμ καὶ πορευθεὶς ἐστρατοπέδευσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

¹⁰ καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ κατέβη αβραμ εἰς αἴγυπτον παροικῆσαι ἐκεῖ ὅτι ἐνίσχυσεν ὁ λιμὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

¹¹ ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν αβραμ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς αἴγυπτον εἶπεν αβραμ σαρα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ γινώσκω ἐγὼ ὅτι γυνὴ εὐπρόσωπος εἶ

¹² ἔσται οὖν ὡς ἂν ἴδωσίν σε οἱ αἰγύπτιοι ἐροῦσιν ὅτι γυνὴ αὐτοῦ αὕτη καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσίν με σὲ δὲ περιποιήσονται

¹³ εἰπὸν οὖν ὅτι ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ εἰμι ὅπως ἂν εὖ μοι γένηται διὰ σέ καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἕνεκεν σοῦ

¹⁴ ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα εἰσῆλθεν αβραμ εἰς αἴγυπτον ἰδόντες οἱ αἰγύπτιοι τὴν γυναῖκα ὅτι καλὴ ἦν σφόδρα

¹⁵ καὶ εἶδον αὐτὴν οἱ ἄρχοντες φαραω καὶ ἐπῄνεσαν αὐτὴν πρὸς φαραω καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν οἶκον φαραω

¹⁶ καὶ τῷ αβραμ εὖ ἐχρήσαντο δι' αὐτήν καὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχοι καὶ ὄνοι παῖδες καὶ παιδίσκαι ἡμίονοι καὶ κάμηλοι

¹⁷ καὶ ἤτασεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν φαραω ἐτασμοῖς μεγάλοις καὶ πονηροῖς καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ περὶ σαρας τῆς γυναικὸς αβραμ

¹⁸ καλέσας δὲ φαραω τὸν αβραμ εἶπεν τί τοῦτο ἐποίησάς μοι ὅτι οὐκ ἀπήγγειλάς μοι ὅτι γυνή σού ἐστιν

¹⁹ ἵνα τί εἶπας ὅτι ἀδελφή μού ἐστιν καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὴν ἐμαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἡ γυνή σου ἐναντίον σου λαβὼν ἀπότρεχε

²⁰ καὶ ἐνετείλατο φαραω ἀνδράσιν περὶ αβραμ συμπροπέμψαι αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ καὶ λωτ μετ' αὐτοῦ

¹ Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

² Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

³ He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

⁴ to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

⁵ Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

⁶ The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

⁷ There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

⁸ Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

⁹ Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

¹⁰ Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

¹¹ So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

¹² Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

¹³ Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

¹⁴ Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

¹⁵ for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

¹⁶ I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

¹⁷ Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

¹⁸ Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
