For the day of Jehovah is at hand. It shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. ⁷ On account of this all hands shall droop, and every heart of man shall melt; ⁸ and they shall be afraid. Pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain like a woman bearing; they shall be amazed, each man to his neighbor; faces of flames shall be their faces. ⁹ Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, cruel and with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land waste.

¹ The word that Jehovah spoke against Babylon, against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet: ² Declare among the nations, and make them hear, and lift up a banner. Make them hear, do not hide it; say, Babylon is captured, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken in pieces, her images are put to shame, her idols are broken in pieces. ³ For a nation comes up against her from the north, which shall make her land a desert. Yea, no one shall dwell in it. They shall flee, they shall depart, both man and animal. ⁴ In these days, and at that time, the sons of Israel shall come, declares Jehovah, they and the sons of Judah together, going and weeping; they shall go and seek Jehovah their God. ⁵ They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces pointing there, saying, Come and let us join ourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant never to be forgotten. ⁶ My people are lost sheep, their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they turned them away on the mountains, they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place. ⁷ All who have found them have devoured them. And their enemies said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, and Jehovah, their fathers' hope. ⁸ Flee from the midst of Babylon, and go out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. ⁹ For, behold, I am stirring up and bringing up a company of great nations from a northern land against Babylon. And they shall array themselves against her. She shall be captured there; their arrows shall be as those of a mighty, skillful man; they shall not return empty. ¹⁰ And Chaldea shall be a prize; all who plunder her shall be satisfied, declares Jehovah. ¹¹ Because you rejoice, because you exult, O destroyers of My inheritance, because you are fat like the heifer in grass, and neigh like strong ones, ¹² your mother shall be deeply ashamed, she who bore you shall turn pale. Behold, the last of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. ¹³ Because of the wrath of Jehovah, it shall not be inhabited, but all of it shall be a waste. Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be amazed and hiss at all her plagues. ¹⁴ Put yourselves in order against Babylon all around. All you who tread a bow, shoot at her. Do not spare arrows, for she has sinned against Jehovah. ¹⁵ Shout against her all around. She has given her hand, her foundations have fallen, her walls have been thrown down, for it is Jehovah's vengeance. Take vengeance on her. As she has done, do to her. ¹⁶ Cut off the sower from Babylon, and the one handling the sickle in the time of harvest. They shall turn from a sword of the oppressor, each one to his people. And they shall flee, each one to his own land. ¹⁷ Israel is a scattered sheep, driven away by lions. First, the king of Assyria devoured him. And last, this king Nebu-chadnezzar of Babylon crunched him . ¹⁸ So Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, says this: Behold, I am punishing the king of Babylon and his land as I have punished the king of Assyria. ¹⁹ And I will again bring Israel to his home, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on Mount Ephraim and Gilead. ²⁰ In those days, and at that time, states Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall not be sought for, and it is not; and the sins of Judah, and they will not be found; for I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant. ²¹ Go up against the land of Merathaim, against it and against the dwellers of Pekod. Waste and destroy after them, says Jehovah, and do according to all that I have commanded you. ²² A sound of battle is in the land and of great ruin. ²³ How the hammer of all the earth is cut off and broken! How Babylon has become a ruin among the nations! ²⁴ I have laid a trap for you, and you also are captured, Babylon, and you did not know. You were found and also caught, because you stirred up yourself against Jehovah. ²⁵ Jehovah has opened His armory and has brought out the weapons of His fury. For this is a work of Jehovah, God of hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans. ²⁶ Come against her from the end, open her granaries, pile her up as heaps and utterly destroy her. Do not let a remnant be left. ²⁷ Put the sword to all her bulls, let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their punishment. ²⁸ The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of His temple. ²⁹ Make the archers hear against Babylon. All you who tread a bow camp against it all around. Let none of them escape. Repay her according to her work, according to all that she has done, do to her. For she has been proud against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰ So her young men shall fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be silenced in that day, declares Jehovah. ³¹ Behold, I am against you, O proud one, says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, for your day has come, the time I will punish you. ³² And the proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall burn up everything all around him. ³³ So says Jehovah of hosts, The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah are oppressed together. Yea, all who captured them held them fast, they refused to let them go. ³⁴ Their Redeemer is strong, Jehovah of Hosts is His name. He shall surely plead their cause, so that He may give rest to the land, and make to tremble the dwellers of Babylon. ³⁵ A sword is on the Chaldeans, states Jehovah, and on the dwellers of Babylon, and on her rulers, and on her wise men. ³⁶ A sword is on the liars, and they shall become fools; a sword is on her mighty men, and they shall be broken. ³⁷ A sword is on his horses and his chariots, and to all the mixed people in her midst. And they shall become as women. A sword is to her treasuries, and they shall be robbed. ³⁸ A drought is on her waters, and they shall be dried up. For it is the land of idols, and they boast themselves in idols. ³⁹ So the beasts of the desert shall dwell there with jackals. And the daughters of the ostrich shall dwell in her again. And it shall not again have anyone in it forever; it shall not be lived in until generation and generation. ⁴⁰ As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors, states Jehovah, so no man shall live there, nor shall a son of man stay in it. ⁴¹ Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth. ⁴² They lay hold of a bow and a javelin, they shall be cruel and will show no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea, and arrayed like a man for the battle, they shall ride on horses against you, O daughter of Babylon. ⁴³ The king of Babylon has heard their report, and his hands became feeble; anguish seized him, pangs like those of a woman in labor. ⁴⁴ Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the home of the strong. But I will make them suddenly run away from it. And who is a chosen one I will appoint over it? For who is like Me? And who will summon Me? And who is a shepherd who will stand before Me? ⁴⁵ So hear the counsel of Jehovah that He has planned against Babylon, and His purposes which He has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they shall drag them, the least of the flock. Surely He will make their dwelling desolate over them. ⁴⁶ At the sound of Babylon's capture, the earth shall tremble, and a cry is heard among the nations.

And he fathered sons and daughters. ²³ And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty five years. ²⁴ And Enoch walked with God; then he was not; for God took him. ²⁵ And Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty seven years and fathered Lamech. ²⁶ And after he fathered Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty two years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ²⁷ And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty nine years; and he died. ²⁸ And Lamech lived one hundred and eighty two years and fathered a son. ²⁹ And he called his name Noah, saying, This one shall comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands because of the ground which the Lord has cursed. ³⁰ And after he fathered Noah, Lamech lived five hundred and ninety five years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ³¹ And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy seven years. And he died. ³² And Noah was five hundred years old. And Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

⁷ And you, be fruitful and multiply. Swarm over the earth and multiply in it.

³ Behold! Children are an inheritance of Jehovah; the fruit of the womb is His reward. ⁴ As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of the young.

³ Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine by the sides of your house; your sons shall be like olive plants around your table. ⁴ Behold! So shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah.

¹² so that our sons may be like plants grown up in their youth; and our daughters like corner-stones hewn like a palace building;

³⁶ the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,

²¹ And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

²⁴ And ships shall come from the coast of Cyprus, and they shall humble Assyria, and they shall humble Eber, and he also shall come to destruction forever.

¹⁹ And to Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

³⁵ the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Salah,

² And Joshua said to all the people, So says Jehovah the God of Israel, Your fathers have in the past lived Beyond the River (Terah the father of Abraham and father of Nahor) and they served other gods.

³⁴ the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,

⁴ And Abram went out, even as Jehovah had spoken to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was a son of seventy five years when he went out from Haran. ⁵ And Abram took his wife Sarai, and his brother's son, Lot, and all their substance that they had gained, and the persons they had gotten in Haran. And they went out to go into the land of Canaan. And they came into the land of Canaan.

²⁰ And it happened after these things it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold! Milcah, she also, has borne sons to your brother Nahor: ²¹ Uz, his firstborn, Buz, and his brother Kemuel, the father of Aram, ²² and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. ²³ And Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight to Nahor, the brother of Abraham. ²⁴ And his concubine called Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

⁴ And Jacob said to them, My brothers, from where are you? And they said, We are from Haran. ⁵ And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him .

³¹ And Terah took his son Abram, and Lot, Haran's son, his grandson and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife. And he went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and lived there.

⁴ And Abram went out, even as Jehovah had spoken to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was a son of seventy five years when he went out from Haran.

¹ And Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negeb, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot being with him. ² And Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver and in gold. ³ And he went on his journeys from the south, even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been there at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, ⁴ to the place of the altar which he had made there at the first. And Abram called on the name of Jehovah there. ⁵ And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. ⁶ And the land was not able to bear them, for dwelling together, for their wealth was great, so that they could not dwell together. 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 then in the land. ⁸ And Abram said to Lot, Please let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are men, brothers. ⁹ is not all the land before you? Please separate 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. ¹⁰ And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the circuit of Jordan, that it was well-watered before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt as you come to Zoar. ¹¹ Then Lot chose all the circuit of Jordan for himself. And Lot pulled up toward the east. And they were separated, each one from his brother.

¹² And they took Lot, the son of Abram's brother, and his goods, and left; and he was living in Sodom.

¹ And the two angels came into Sodom at evening. And Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw, and he rose up to meet them and bowed his face to the earth. ² And he said, Behold, now, my lords, please turn into your servant's house and lodge, and wash your feet; and rise early and go to your way. And they said, No, for we will lodge in the street. ³ And he much urged them, and they turned into him and came into his house. And he made a feast for them. And he baked unleavened cakes, and they ate. ⁴ Before they had laid down, even the men of the city, the men of Sodom, circled the house; from the young to the aged, all the people from its limits. ⁵ And they called to Lot and said to him, Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them. ⁶ And Lot went out to them, to the door, and he closed the door behind him. ⁷ And he said, My brothers, please do not act evilly. ⁸ Behold, now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please let me bring them out to you and do to them as you see fit; only do not do a thing to these men, because on account of this they came into the shade of my roof. ⁹ And they said, Stand back! And they said, This one came into visit, and must he always judge? Now we will do evil to you rather than to them. And they pressed on the man, upon Lot violently, and drew near to break the door. ¹⁰ But the men put out their hands and pulled Lot to them, into the house, and shut the door. ¹¹ And they struck the men at the door of the house with blindness, from the small to the great; and they struggled to find the door. ¹² And the men said to Lot, Who still is here to you? Bring out of this place your sons and your sons-in-law and your daughters, and whoever belongs to you in the city. ¹³ For we are about to destroy this place, for the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it. ¹⁴ And Lot went out to speak to his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters. And he said, Rise up, go out from this place, for Jehovah is about to destroy the city. And he seemed as one joking to his sons-in-law. ¹⁵ And when the dawn rose, then the angels urged Lot, saying, Rise up, take your wife and your two daughters who are found, lest you be cut off in the depravity of the city. ¹⁶ And he lingered. And the men lay hold of his hand and his wife's hand, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah having mercy on him. And they caused him to go out, and they put him down outside the city. ¹⁷ And it happened as they led them outside, he said, Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay in all the plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you be swept away. ¹⁸ And Lot said to them, Oh no, Lord! ¹⁹ Behold, now, Your servant has found grace in Your sight, and You have magnified Your mercy which You have shown to me in saving my life. And I am not able to escape to the mountain lest some evil overtake me and I die. ²⁰ Behold, now, this city is near, to flee there, and it is a little one. Please let me escape there! Is it not a little thing, that my soul may live? ²¹ And He said to him, See, I have lifted up your face also as to this thing, without overthrowing the city for which you have spoken. ²² Hurry, escape there, for I am not able to do anything until you have come there. So the name of the city was called Zoar. ²³ The sun had risen on the earth, and Lot came into Zoar. ²⁴ And Jehovah rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from Jehovah out of the heavens. ²⁵ And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all those living in the cities, and the produce of the ground. ²⁶ And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. ²⁷ And Abraham started up early in the morning, going to the place where he had stood there before Jehovah. ²⁸ And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain. And he saw. And, behold, the smoke of the country went up like the smoke of a furnace. ²⁹ And it happened when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham; and He sent Lot out from the overthrow when overturning the cities in which Lot lived.

⁷ And He delivered righteous Lot, who had been oppressed by the behavior of the lawless in lustfulness.

⁷ And He said to him, I am Jehovah who caused you to come out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.

⁷ You are Jehovah the God who chose Abram, and brought him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and appointed his name Abraham.

² And he said, Men, brothers, and fathers, listen! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia before he lived in Haran, ³ and said to him, "Go out from your land and from your kindred," "and come into a land which I will show to you." Gen. 12:1 ⁴ Then going out from the land of the Chaldeans, he lived in Haran. And after his father died, God moved him from there into this land in which you now live.

¹⁵ And God said to Abraham, You shall not call your wife Sarai by her name Sarai, for Sarah shall be her name;

¹² And yet she really is my sister, daughter of my father; only not daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.

²⁰ And it happened after these things it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold! Milcah, she also, has borne sons to your brother Nahor:

¹⁵ And it happened before he had finished speaking. Behold! Rebekah came out, she who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, the brother of Abraham, with her pitcher on her shoulder.

² And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what will You give to me since I am going childless and the son of the inheritance of my house is Eleazar of Damascus? ³ And Abram said, Behold! You have given no seed to me; and lo, the son of my house is inheriting of me! And behold!

¹ And Sarai, Abram's wife, did not bear to him; and to her belonged a female slave, an Egyptian, and her name was Hagar. ² And Sarai said to Abram, See, now, Jehovah has kept me from bearing; go in now to my slave-girl; perhaps I may be built up from her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

¹¹ And Abraham and Sarah were aged, going on in days. The custom as to women had ceased to be to Sarah. ¹² And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After my being old, shall there be pleasure to me; my lord also being old?

¹ And Jehovah visited Sarah as He had said. And the Lord did to Sarah as He had spoken. ² And Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the time appointed, that which God had spoken with him.

²¹ And Isaac prayed to Jehovah for his wife for she was barren. And Jehovah was entreated for him, and his wife Rebekah conceived.

³¹ And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated. And He opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

¹ And Rachel saw that she did not bear to Jacob, and Rachel was jealous of her sister. And she said to Jacob, Give me sons; and if there is none, I shall die. ² And Jacob's anger glowed against Rachel, and he said, Am I in God's place, who has kept back from you the fruit of the womb?

² And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren, and had not borne.

² And he had two wives the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the second, Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

⁹ He causes the barren to live in the house as the joyful mother of sons. Praise Jehovah!

⁷ And no child was born to them, because Elizabeth was barren. And both were advanced in their days.

³⁶ And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth! She also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;

¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, as far as Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha.

²⁶ And Terah lived seventy years and fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran. ²⁷ And these are the generations of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot. ²⁸ And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

³² And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.

¹⁰ And the slave took ten camels from his master's camels and left. And all his master's were in his hand. And he rose up and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

⁴³ And now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran.

² And Joshua said to all the people, So says Jehovah the God of Israel, Your fathers have in the past lived Beyond the River (Terah the father of Abraham and father of Nahor) and they served other gods. ³ And I took your father Abraham from Beyond the River, and caused him to go through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave Isaac to him.

⁸ Having been called out by faith, Abraham obeyed to go forth to a place which he was going to receive for an inheritance; and he went out not understanding where he went.
