15 And Elohim said to Avraham, As for Sarai your wife,
you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be
her name.
16 And I will bless her, and give you a son also by her:
And I will bless her, and she shall be an eema of nations;
80 melechim of peoples shall be from her.
17 Then Avraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and
said in his lev, Shall a child be born to him that is a
hundred years old? And shall Sarah, that is ninety years
old, bear?
18 And Avraham said to Elohim, O that Yishma-El might
live before You!
19 And Elohim said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son
indeed; and you shall call his name Yitzchak: and I will
establish My brit with him for an everlasting brit, and
with his zera after him. 81
20 And as for Yishma-El, I have heard you: See, I have
blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply
him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he bring forth, and
I will make him a great nation. 82
21 But My brit will I establish with Yitzchak, whom Sarah
shall bear to you at this set time in the next year. 83
22 And He stopped talking with him, and Elohim went up
from Avraham.
23 And Avraham took Yishma-El his son, and all that
were born in his bayit, and all that were bought with his
money, every male among the men of Avraham's bayit;
and performed brit-milah in the flesh of their foreskin on
the very same day that Elohim had spoken to him.
24 And Avraham was ninety-nine years old when he
performed brit-milah in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 And Yishma-El his son was thirteen years old, when
he performed brit-milah in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 In the very same day did Avraham perform brit-milah,
and Yishma-El his son also.
27 And all the men of his bayit, born in the bayit, and
bought with money of the ger, 84 received brit-milah with
him.

And vuvh appeared to him in the plains of Mamre:
and Avraham sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
2 And Avraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and see,
three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to
meet them at the tent door, and bowed himself toward the
ground,
3 And Avraham said, vuvh; if now I have found favor in
Your sight, please do not leave Your eved:
4 Please let a little mayim be taken, and wash Your feet,
and rest yourselves under the eytz:
5 And I will get a morsel of lechem, and so comfort Your
levim; after that You shall go Your way: for this is why
You have come to Your eved. And they said, Go do, as
you have said.
6 And Avraham ran into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make
ready quickly three measures of fine flour, knead it, and
make cakes.
7 And Avraham ran to the herd, and took a tov tender
calf, and gave it to a young man; and he hurried to
BERESHEETH - GENESIS
- 16 -
prepare it.
8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf that he had
prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them
under the eytz, and they did eat. 85
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And
he said, See; in the tent.
10 And He said, I will certainly return to you according
to the time of chayim; and, see; Sarah your wife shall
have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door that was
behind Him. 86
11 Now Avraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in
age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of
women.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I
am grown old shall I have pleasure, my master being old
also?
13 And vuvh said to Avraham, Why did Sarah laugh,
saying, Shall I of a certainty bear a child, seeing I am
old?
14 Is any thing too hard for vuvh? At the time appointed I
will return to you, according to the time of chayim, and
Sarah shall have a son.
15 Then Sarah denied it, saying, I laughed not; for she
was afraid. And He said, No; but you did laugh.
16 And the men rose up from there, and looked toward
Sedom: and Avraham went with them to bring them on
the derech.
17 And vuvh said, Shall I hide from Avraham that thing
which I must do;
18 Seeing that Avraham shall surely become a great and
mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be
blessed in him?
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and
his household after him, and they shall keep the halacha
of vuvh, to do mishpat and justice; that vuvh may bring
upon Avraham that which He has spoken about him. 87
20 And vuvh said, Because the cry of Sedom and Amorah
is great, and because their sin is very severe;
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done
altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to Me;
and if not, I will know.
22 And the men turned their faces from there, and went
toward Sedom: but Avraham still stood before vuvh.
23 And Avraham drew near, and said, Will You also
destroy the tzadikim with the wicked?
24 Suppose there are fifty tzadikim within the city: will
You also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty
tzadikim that are in it?
25 That be far from You to do after this manner, to kill
the tzadikim with the wicked: and that the tzadikim
should be as the wicked, that be far from You: Shall not
The Shophet of all the earth do right?
26 And vuvh said, If I find in Sedom fifty tzadikim within
the city, then I will spare the entire place for their sakes.
27 And Avraham answered and said, See now, I have
taken it upon me to speak to vuvh, who am but dust and
ashes:
28 Suppose there shall lack five from the fifty tzadikim:
will You destroy the whole city for lack of five? And He
said, If I find forty-five, I will not destroy it.
29 And he spoke to Him yet again, and said, Suppose
there shall be forty found there. And He said, I will not do
it for forty's sake.
