亚伯兰说，主耶和华阿，我既无子，你还赐我什么呢，并且要承受我家业的是大马士革人以利以谢。
And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
耶和华又有话对他说，这人必不成为你的后嗣。你本身所生的才成为你的后嗣。
And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
亚伯兰信耶和华，耶和华就以此为他的义。
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
他说，你为我取一只三年的母牛，一只三年的母山羊，一只三年的公绵羊，一只斑鸠，一只雏鸽。
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
但你要享大寿数，平平安安地归到你列祖那里，被人埋葬。
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
当那日，耶和华与亚伯兰立约，说，我已赐给你的后裔，从埃及河直到伯大河之地，
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
就是基尼人，基尼洗人，甲摩尼人，
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
赫人，比利洗人，利乏音人，
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
撒莱对亚伯兰说，我因你受屈。我将我的使女放在你怀中，她见自己有了孕，就小看我。愿耶和华在你我中间判断。
And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
对她说，撒莱的使女夏甲，你从哪里来，要往哪里去。夏甲说，我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出来。
And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
