⁵³ the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us -- the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac.

⁴² unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'

⁵ And Sarai saith unto Abram, `My violence `is' for thee; I -- I have given mine handmaid into thy bosom, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; Jehovah doth judge between me and thee.'

² And Joshua saith unto all the people, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Beyond the River have your fathers dwelt of old -- Terah father of Abraham and father of Nachor -- and they serve other gods;

⁶ He saith also, `I `am' the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;' and Moses hideth his face, for he is afraid to look towards God.

²⁴ And Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth Terah.

²⁵ And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

²⁶ And Terah liveth seventy years, and begetteth Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

²⁷ And these `are' births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;

²⁸ and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.

²⁹ And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife `is' Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife `is' Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.

¹³ Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;

¹³ and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, `I `am' Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed;

²⁸ And they say, `We have certainly seen that Jehovah hath been with thee, and we say, `Let there be, we pray thee, an oath between us, between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;

²⁹ do not evil with us, as we have not touched thee, and as we have only done good with thee, and send thee away in peace; thou `art' now blessed of Jehovah.'

³⁰ And he maketh for them a banquet, and they eat and drink,

³¹ and rise early in the morning, and swear one to another, and Isaac sendeth them away, and they go from him in peace.

³ and I cause thee to swear by Jehovah, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, that thou dost not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am dwelling;

⁴ but unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.'

²⁰ And it cometh to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, `Lo, Milcah hath borne, even she, sons to Nahor thy brother:

²¹ Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother; and Kemuel father of Aram,

²² and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;

²³ and Bethuel hath begotten Rebekah;' these eight hath Milcah borne to Nahor, Abraham's brother;

²⁴ and his concubine, whose name `is' Reumah, she also hath borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.

²³ and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'

²⁴ And Abraham saith, `I -- I do swear.'

⁷ `And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

²² and Abram saith unto the king of Sodom, `I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessing heaven and earth --

³¹ And Terah taketh Abram his son, and Lot, son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come unto Charan, and dwell there.
