Genesis 15:7 - 17:6

15:7 And he said to him, “I am Yahweh, who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give this land to you, to possess it.”
15:8 And he said, “O Yahweh God, how shall I know that I will possess it?”
15:9 And he said to him, “Take for me a three-year-old heifer, and a three-year-old female goat, and a three-year-old ram, and a turtledove and a young pigeon.”
15:10 And he took for him all these and cut them in pieces down the middle. And he put each piece opposite the other, but the birds he did not cut.
15:11 And the birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
15:12 And it happened, as the sun went down, then a deep sleep fell upon Abram and, behold, a great terrifying darkness fell upon him.
15:13 And he said to Abram, “You must surely know that your descendants shall be as aliens in a land not their own. And they shall serve them and they shall oppress them four hundred years.
15:14 And also the nation that they serve I will judge. Then afterward they shall go out with great possessions.
15:15 And as for you, you shall go to your ancestors in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
15:16 And the fourth generation shall return here, for the guilt of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
15:17 And after the sun had gone down and it was dusk, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passed between those half pieces.
15:18 On that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram saying, “To your offspring I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates river,
15:19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
15:20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
15:21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
16:1 Sarai and Hagar Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had borne him no children. And she had a female Egyptian servant, and her name was Hagar.
16:2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Look, please, Yahweh has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my servant; perhaps I will have children by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
16:3 Then Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband as his wife.
16:4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, then her mistress grew small in her eyes.
16:5 And Sarai said to Abram, “may my harm be upon you. I had my servant sleep with you, and when she saw that she had conceived, she no longer respected me. May Yahweh judge between me and you!”
16:6 And Abram said to Sarai, “Look, your servant is under your authority. Do to her that which is good in your eyes.” And Sarai mistreated her, and she fled from her presence.
16:7 Hagar and the Angel of Yahweh And the angel of Yahweh found her at a spring of water in the wilderness, at the spring by the road of Shur.
16:8 And he said to Hagar, the servant of Sarai, “From where have you come, and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of Sarai my mistress.”
16:9 Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her authority.”
16:10 And the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, so that they cannot be counted for their abundance.”
16:11 And the angel of Yahweh said to her: “Behold, you are pregnant and shall have a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, for Yahweh has listened to your suffering.
16:12 And he shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand will be against everyone, and the hand of everyone will be against him, and he will live in hostility with all his brothers.”
16:13 So she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are El-Roi,” for she said, “Here I have seen after he who sees me.”
16:14 Therefore the well was called Beer-Lahai-Roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
16:15 And Hagar had a child for Abram, a son. And Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore to him, Ishmael.
16:16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
17:1 Abram and Circumcision, the Sign of the Covenant When Abram was ninety-nine years old Yahweh appeared to Abram. And he said to him, “I am El-Shaddai; walk before me and be blameless
17:2 so that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you exceedingly.”
17:3 Then Abram fell upon his face and God spoke with him, saying,
17:4 “As for me, behold, my covenant shall be with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
17:5 Your name shall no longer be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.
17:6 And I will make you exceedingly fruitful. I will make you a nation, and kings shall go out from you.

LEB translation

John 5:41 - 5:47

5:41 “I do not accept glory from people,
5:42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one!
5:44 How are you able to believe, if you accept glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is from the only God?
5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope!
5:46 For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.
5:47 But if you do not believe that one’s writings, how will you believe my words?”
