    r hand of his two daughters; the Lord
    ing merciful unto him: and they brought

    And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so,
    y Lord: 19 behold now, thy servant
    th found grace in thy sight, and thou
    st magnified thy mercy, which thou
    st showed unto me in saving my life;
    d I cannot escape to the mountain, lest
    me evil take me, and I die: 20 behold
    iw, this city is near to flee unto, and it is
    little one: O, let me escape thither, (w i

    And he said unto him, Se£<T-fiave ac-

    Line of the city was called Zo'ar.1 23 The
    n was risen upon the earth when Lot
    tered into Zo'ar.
    24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom
    id upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire
    jm the Lord out of heaven; 25 and he
    erthrew those cities,and all the plain,
    id all the inhabitants of the cities, and

29 And it came to pass, when God
destroyed the cities of the plain, that God
remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out
of the midst of the overthrow, when he
overthrew the cities in the which Lot
.dwell
30 And Lot went up out of Zo'ar, and
dwelt in the mountain, and his two daugh­
ters with him; for he feared to dwell in
Zo'ar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his
two daughters. 31 And the firstborn said
unto the younger, Our father is old, and
there is not a man in the earth to come in
unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 come, let us make our father drink
wine, and we will lie with him, that we
may preserve seed of our father. 33 And
they made their father drink wine that
night: and the firstborn went in, and lay
with her father; and he perceived not
when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that the firstborn said unto the younger,
Behold, I lay yesternight with my father:
let us make him drink wine this night also;
and go thou in, and lie with him, that we
may preserve seed of our father. 35 And
they made their father drink wine that
night also: and the younger arose, and
lay with him; and he perceived not when
she lay down, nor when she arose. 36 Thus
were both the daughters of Lot with child
by their father. pL And the firstborn bare
a son, and called his name Moab: the
same is the father of the Moabites unto
this day. 38 And the younger, she
also bare a son, and called his name
Ben-am'mi: the same is the father
of the children of Ammon unto this
day.
Abraham and Abimelech
Abraham journeyed from
Z A J thence toward the south -country,
and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and
sojourned in Gerar. 2 And Abraham said
of Sarah his wife, She is my sister:and
Abim'elech king of Gerar sent, and took
Sarah. 3 But God came to Abim'elech in
a dream by night, and said to him, Behold,
thou art but a dead man, for the woman
which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s
