    Gen 15:3  And Abram said, “Behold, You have given no seed to me; and lo, one born in my house is my heir.”

    Gen 15:4  And behold, the Word of the LORD came to him saying, “This man shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own loins shall be your heir.”

    Gen 15:9  And He said to him, “Take Me a 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.”

    Gen 15:13  And He said to Abram, “You must surely know that your seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, (and shall serve them and they shall afflict them) four hundred years.

    Gen 15:14  And also I will judge that nation whom they shall serve. And afterward they shall come out with great substance.

    Gen 14:23  That I will take nothing that is yours—from a thread even to a sandal strap—lest you say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’

    Gen 13:4  To the place of the altar which he had made there at the first. And Abram called on the name of the LORD there.

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

    Gen 13:6  And 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.

    Gen 13:7  And there was 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.

    Gen 13:8  And Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brethren.

    Gen 13:9  Is not the whole land before you? I pray you, separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”

    Gen 13:10  And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was all well watered—before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you come to Zoar.

    The Tower of Babel

    Gen 11:1  And the whole earth was of one language and one speech.

    Gen 11:2  And it came to pass, as they traveled from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar. And they settled there.

    Gen 11:3  And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.

    Gen 11:4  And they said, “Come, let us build us a city and a tower, with its top reaching into the heavens. And let us establish a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered upon the face of the whole earth.”

    Gen 11:5  And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men had built.

    Gen 11:6  And the LORD said, “Behold, the people are one and they all have one language. And this is only the beginning of what they will do—now nothing which they have imagined to do will be restrained from them.

    Gen 11:7  Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they cannot understand one another’s speech.”

    Gen 11:8  So the LORD scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of all the earth. And they quit building the city.

    Gen 11:9  Therefore the name of it is called Babel, because the LORD confused the language of all the earth there. And from there the LORD scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

    Gen 8:13  And it came to pass in Noah’s six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were drying up from off the face of the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and, behold, the face of the earth was drying!

    Gen 8:14  And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the land was fully dry.

    Gen 8:17  Bring out with you every living thing that is with you—of all flesh, of fowl, of livestock, and of every crawling thing that crawls upon the earth—so that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.”

    Gen 6:15  And this is the way you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it shall be fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits.

    Gen 6:16  You shall make a window in the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and you shall set the door of the ark in the side of it. You shall make it with lower, second and third stories.

    Gen 6:17  And behold, I, even I am bringing a flood of waters upon the earth in order to destroy all flesh—in which is the breath of life—from under heaven. Everything which is upon the earth shall die.

    Gen 6:18  But I will establish My covenant with you. And you shall come into the ark—you and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

    Gen 6:19  And you shall bring into the ark two of every kind, of every living thing of all flesh, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

    Gen 6:20  Two of every kind shall come to you to keep them alive—of fowls after their kind, and of animals after their kind, of every crawling thing of the earth after its kind.

    Gen 6:21  And take for yourself all that is eaten as food, and you shall gather it for yourself; and it shall be for food, for you and for them.”

    Gen 6:22  Noah did so, according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

    Cain and Abel

    Gen 4:1  Then Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man from the LORD.”

    Gen 4:2  And she bore again, his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

    Gen 4:3  It came to pass that Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground.

    Gen 4:4  And Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat of it. And the LORD had regard unto Abel and his offering,

    Gen 4:5  But He did not have regard unto Cain and his offering. And Cain was extremely angry and his countenance fell.

    Gen 4:6  And the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? And why has your countenance fallen?

    Gen 4:7  If you do well, shall you not be accepted? But if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it!”

    Gen 4:8  And Cain talked with his brother Abel. And it came to pass that when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.

    Gen 4:9  And the LORD said unto Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

    Gen 4:10  And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to Me from the ground.

    Gen 4:11  And now you are cursed from the earth, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

    Gen 4:12  When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you, and you shall be a wanderer and a fugitive upon the earth.”

    Gen 4:13  And Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.

    Gen 4:14  Behold, You have driven me out from the face of the earth today, and I shall be hidden from Your face. And I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth, and it shall be that anyone who finds me shall kill me.”

    Gen 4:15  And the LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD set a mark upon Cain so that anyone who found him should not kill him.

    Gen 4:16  And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and lived in the land of Nod, to the east of Eden.

    Gen 4:17  And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

    Gen 4:18  And Irad was born to Enoch. And Irad begat Mehujael, and Mehujael begat Methusael, and Methusael begat Lamech.

    Gen 4:19  And Lamech took two wives to himself: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.

    Gen 4:20  And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

    Gen 4:21  And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who corruptly play the lyre and the pipe.

    Gen 4:22  And Zillah also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

    Gen 4:24  For if Cain is avenged seven times, then truly Lamech is avenged seventy-seven times.”
