upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven.

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning, to the place where he stood before the LORD.

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and behold, and lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities, in the which Lot dwelt.

30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31 ¶ And the first-born said AND Abraham journeyed from

unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: *

32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

[ocr errors]

33 And they made their father drink wine that night, and the first-born went in and lay with her father and he perceived not

when she lay down, nor when

she arose.

34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose and lay with him, and he perceived not when she lay down nor when she arose.

36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

37 And the first-born bare a son, and called his name Moab; the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. §

38 And the younger she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

CHAP. XX.

1 Abraham derieth his wife, and loseth her. 14 Abimelech restoreth her.

thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourneyed in Gerar

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: † And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken for she is a man's wife. ||

* There were two motives that led them to this undertaking: first, their father was old, so that there was no time to be lost, for fear death should overtake him: and secondly, there is not a man in the earth, for they imagined that all the earth was destroyed, as was the case at the flood. See Jarchi, Aben Ezra, &c.

§ That is, till the time of the sacred penman Muses; and in this sense is it to be understood wherever we meet with it in Scripture.

For Abraham entertained the same suspicion of them, as he did of the Egyptians, who took Sarah by force; and which Abimelech would not have done: for from the whole tenour of his behaviour, it is to be presumed, that if he had known her to be a married women, he would not have meddled with her.

Heb. Married to an husband.
