For Scripture Study Gen 18:1; The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Gen 18:2; Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. Gen 18:3; He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Gen 18:4; Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Gen 18:5; Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant." "Very well," they answered, "do as you say." Gen 18:6; So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. "Quick," he said, "get three seahs of fine flour and knead it and bake some bread." Gen 18:7; Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. Gen 18:8; He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. Gen 18:9; "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "There, in the tent," he said. Gen 18:10; Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son." Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Gen 18:11; Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. Gen 18:12; So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"

Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?

Gen 18:8; He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. Gen 18:9; "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "There, in the tent," he said. Gen 18:10; Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son." Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Gen 18:11; Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. Gen 18:12; So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:3; He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Gen 18:4; Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Gen 18:5; Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant." "Very well," they answered, "do as you say." Gen 18:6; So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. "Quick," he said, "get three seahs of fine flour and knead it and bake some bread." Gen 18:7; Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. Gen 18:8; He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. Gen 18:9; "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "There, in the tent," he said. Gen 18:10; Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son." Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Gen 18:11; Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. Gen 18:12; So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him."

Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:5; Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant." "Very well," they answered, "do as you say." Gen 18:6; So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. "Quick," he said, "get three seahs of fine flour and knead it and bake some bread." Gen 18:7; Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. Gen 18:8; He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. Gen 18:9; "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "There, in the tent," he said. Gen 18:10; Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son." Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Gen 18:11; Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. Gen 18:12; So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city?

Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:7; Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. Gen 18:8; He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. Gen 18:9; "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "There, in the tent," he said. Gen 18:10; Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son." Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Gen 18:11; Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. Gen 18:12; So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.

And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:9; "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "There, in the tent," he said. Gen 18:10; Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son." Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Gen 18:11; Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. Gen 18:12; So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door.

Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:11; Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. Gen 18:12; So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care.

How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.

Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:12; So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city?

Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:13; Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:14; Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.

He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

Gen 18:15; Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way.

If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:16; When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. Gen 18:17; Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.

Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:18; Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. Gen 18:19; For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:20; Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:21; that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." Gen 18:22; The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.

Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:23; Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Gen 18:24; What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Gen 18:25; Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge£ of all the earth do right?" Gen 18:26; The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Gen 18:27; Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth.

Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"

Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:28; what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." Gen 18:29; Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Gen 18:30; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant.

Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 18:31; Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:32; Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." Gen 18:33; When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave.

Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:1; The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen 19:2; “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,&rdq they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” Gen 19:3; But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:4; Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. Gen 19:5; They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Gen 19:6; Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him.

Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him.

Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.

Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:7; and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. Gen 19:10; But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.

Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger.

But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:8; Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Gen 19:9; “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:11; Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Gen 19:12; The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, Gen 19:13; because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them.

Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:14; So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. Gen 19:15; With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” Gen 19:16; When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. Gen 19:17; As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.

He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:18; But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Gen 19:19; Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Gen 19:20; Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.” Gen 19:21; He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. Gen 19:22; But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.) Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us!

He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:23; By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Gen 19:25; Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. Gen 19:26; But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Gen 19:27; Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth.

He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:28; He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. Gen 19:29; So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen 19:30; Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. Gen 19:31; One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Gen 19:32; Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him.

Gen 39:13; When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, Gen 39:14; she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
Gen 19:33; That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:34; The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” Gen 19:35; So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. Gen 19:36; So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. Gen 19:37; The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. Gen 19:38; The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Gen 37:4; When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Gen 37:28; So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Gen 38:15; When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Gen 39:1; Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. Gen 39:2; The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. Gen 39:3; When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Gen 39:4; Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Gen 39:5; From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. Gen 39:6; So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.

Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, Gen 39:7; and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Gen 39:8; But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. Gen 39:9;No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Gen 39:10; And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Gen 39:11; One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. Gen 39:12; She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.

Gen 39:15; When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:16; She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Gen 39:17; Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. Gen 39:18; But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.” Gen 39:19; When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger. Gen 39:20; Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, Gen 39:21; the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Gen 39:22; So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. Gen 39:23; The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. Gen 40:14; But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. Gen 40:23; The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. "Praise God for His Holy Word, Amen"
