Noah's Sacrifice.

13 And it came to pass, in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

15 And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, 3.17,18. and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their 2 kinds, went forth out of the ark.

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covereds the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him:

25 And he said, " Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD Godade. Eph.2.13. of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 10 Arpach27 God shall enlarge 9 Japheth," and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and

And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; c.17.15. and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. "

2 And Abram was very rich, din cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he went on his journeys from the Mat.6.33. south, even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai;

ee He.11.8.

5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran: and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 6 And Abram passed through the land De.11.30. unto the place of Sichem, unto the plaing c.12.7,8. of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an 'altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, n and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai1 on the east; and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called • upon the name of the LORD.

9 And Abram journeyed, 2 going on still toward the south.

10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. 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?

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