After he fathered Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and fathered other sons and daughters.

After he fathered Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and fathered other sons and daughters.

Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran’s son), and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they set out together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.

He took his wife, Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated, and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,

Abram continued, “Look, you have given me no offspring, so a slave born in[fn] my house will be my heir.”

So Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son, and Abram named his son (whom Hagar bore) Ishmael.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.

“Throughout your generations, every male among you is to be circumcised at eight days old ​— ​every male born in your household or purchased from any foreigner and not your offspring.

“I will bless her; indeed, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will produce nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”

Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a hundred-year-old man? Can Sarah, a ninety-year-old woman, give birth? ”

But God said, “No. Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac.[fn] I will confirm my covenant with him as a permanent covenant for his future offspring.

So Abraham took his son Ishmael and those born in his household or purchased ​— ​every male among the members of Abraham’s household ​— ​and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day, just as God had said to him.

Abraham was ninety-nine years old when the flesh of his foreskin was circumcised,

and his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when the flesh of his foreskin was circumcised.

On that very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.

And all the men of his household ​— ​whether born in his household or purchased from a foreigner ​— ​were circumcised with him.

Then Abraham took curds[fn] and milk, as well as the calf that he had prepared, and set them before the men. He served[fn] them as they ate under the tree.

The LORD said, “I will certainly come back to you in about a year’s time, and your wife Sarah will have a son! ” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent behind him.

“Is anything impossible for the LORD? At the appointed time I will come back to you, and in about a year she will have a son.”

“For I have chosen[fn] him so that he will command his children and his house after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just. This is how the LORD will fulfill to Abraham what he promised him.”

The firstborn gave birth to a son and named him Moab.[fn] He is the father of the Moabites of today.

The younger also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi.[fn] He is the father of the Ammonites of today.

Abraham named his son who was born to him ​— ​the one Sarah bore to him ​— ​Isaac.

When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.

Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

She also said, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne a son for him[fn] in his old age.”

But Sarah saw the son mocking ​— ​the one Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham.

So she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave with her son, for the son of this slave will not be a coheir with my son Isaac! ”

This was very distressing to[fn] Abraham because of his son.

“and I will also make a nation of the slave’s son because he is your offspring.”

So Abraham got up early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took with him two of his young men and his son Isaac. He split wood for a burnt offering and set out to go to the place God had told him about.

Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac. In his hand he took the fire and the knife, and the two of them walked on together.

Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father.”

And he replied, “Here I am, my son.”

Isaac said, “The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering? ”

Abraham answered, “God himself will provide[fn] the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” Then the two of them walked on together.

When they arrived at the place that God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac[fn] and placed him on the altar on top of the wood.

Then Abraham reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.

Then he said, “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”

Abraham looked up and saw a ram[fn] caught in the thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

and said, “By myself I have sworn,” this is the LORD’s declaration: “Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son,

Now after these things Abraham was told, “Milcah also has borne sons to your brother Nahor:
