¹ 亚伯拉罕从那里向南地迁去，寄居在加低斯和书珥中间的基拉耳。

² 亚伯拉罕称他的妻撒拉为妹子，基拉耳王亚比米勒差人把撒拉取了去。

³ 但夜间，神来，在梦中对亚比米勒说：你是个死人哪！因为你取了那女人来；他原是别人的妻子。

⁴ 亚比米勒却还没有亲近撒拉；他说：主阿，连有义的国，你也要毁灭麽？

⁵ 那人岂不是自己对我说他是我的妹子麽？就是女人也自己说：他是我的哥哥。我作这事是心正手洁的。

⁶ 神在梦中对他说：我知道你作这事是心中正直；我也拦阻了你，免得你得罪我，所以我不容你沾着他。

⁷ 现在你把这人的妻子归还他；因为他是先知，他要为你祷告，使你存活。你若不归还他，你当知道，你和你所有的人都必要死。

⁸ 亚比米勒清早起来，召了众臣仆来，将这些事都说给他们听，他们都甚惧怕。

⁹ 亚比米勒召了亚伯拉罕来，对他说：你怎麽向我这样行呢？我在甚麽事上得罪了你，你竟使我和我国里的人陷在大罪里？你向我行不当行的事了！

¹⁰ 亚比米勒又对亚伯拉罕说：你见了甚麽才做这事呢？

¹¹ 亚伯拉罕说：我以为这地方的人总不惧怕神，必为我妻子的缘故杀我。

¹² 况且他也实在是我的妹子；他与我是同父异母，後来作了我的妻子。

¹³ 当神叫我离开父家、飘流在外的时候，我对他说：我们无论走到甚麽地方，你可以对人说：他是我的哥哥；这就是你待我的恩典了。

¹⁴ 亚比米勒把牛、羊、仆婢赐给亚伯拉罕，又把他的妻子撒拉归还他。

¹⁵ 亚比米勒又说：看哪，我的地都在你面前，你可以随意居住；

¹⁶ 又对撒拉说：我给你哥哥一千银子，作为你在阖家人面前遮羞(原文作眼)的，你就在众人面前没有不是了。

¹⁷ 亚伯拉罕祷告神，神就医好了亚比米勒和他的妻子，并他的众女仆，他们便能生育。

¹⁸ 因耶和华为亚伯拉罕的妻子撒拉的缘故，已经使亚比米勒家中的妇人不能生育。

¹ Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

³ The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴ The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵ Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

⁶ The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

⁷ The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸ Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

¹⁰ The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

¹³ Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

¹⁴ Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

¹⁶ the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

¹⁷ the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

¹⁸ the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹ The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

²¹ To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

²² The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

²³ The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

²⁴ Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

²⁵ To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

²⁶ Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷ Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸ Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

²⁹ Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

³⁰ Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

³¹ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
