Page 23 - Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham ; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
Page 14 - And the Lord smelled a sweet savour ; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake ; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth ; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
