Noah, when, after the deluge, the earth was resettled in its former
condition, set about its cultivation; and when he had planted it with vines,
and when the fruit was ripe, and he had gathered the grapes in their season,
and the wine was ready for use, he offered sacrifice, and feasted, and,
being drunk, he fell asleep, and lay naked in an unseemly manner. When
his youngest son saw this, he came laughing, and showed him to his brethren;
but they covered their father's nakedness. And when Noah was made sensible
of what had been done, he prayed for prosperity to his other sons; but
for Ham, he did not curse him, by reason of his nearness in blood, but
cursed his prosperity: and when the rest of them escaped that curse, God
inflicted it on the children of Canaan. But as to these matters, we shall
speak more hereafter.

Now Abram, having no son of his own, adopted Lot, his brother Haran's
son, and his wife Sarai's brother; and he left the land of Chaldea when
he was seventy-five years old, and at the command of God went into Canaan,
and therein he dwelt himself, and left it to his posterity. He was a person
of great sagacity, both for understanding all things and persuading his
hearers, and not mistaken in his opinions; for which reason he began to
have higher notions of virtue than others had, and he determine rate to our advantage, they
do it not of their own abilities, but as they are subservient to Him that
commands them, to whom alone we ought justly to offer our honor and thanksgiving."
For which doctrines, when the Chaldeans, and other people of Mesopotamia,
raised a tumult against him, he thought fit to leave that country; and
at the command and by the assistance of God, he came and lived in the land
of Canaan. And when he was there settled, he built an altar, and performed
a sacrifice to God.

NOW, after this, when a famine had invaded the land of Canaan, and
Abram had discovered that the Egyptians were in a flourishing condition,
he was disposed to go down to them, both to partake of the plenty they
enjoyed, and to become an auditor of their priests, and to know what they
said concerning the gods; designing either to follow them, if they had
better notions than he, or to convert them into a better way, if his own
notions proved the truest. Now, seeing he was to take Sarai with him, and
was afraid of the madness of the Egyptians with regard to women, lest the
king should kill him on occasion of his wife's great beauty, he contrived
this device : - he pretended to be her brother, and directed her in a dissembling
way to pretend the same, for he said it would be for their benefit. Now,
as soon as he came into Egypt, it happened to Abram as he supposed it would;
for the fame of his wife's beauty was greatly talked of; for which reason
Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, would not be sa

As soon as Abram was come back into Canaan, he parted the land between
him and Lot, upon account of the tumultuous behavior of their shepherds,
concerning the pastures wherein they should feed their flocks. However,
he gave Lot his option, or leave, to choose which lands he would take;
and he took himself what the other left, which were the lower grounds at
the foot of the mountains; and he himself dwelt in Hebron, which is a city
seven years more ancient than Tunis of Egypt. But Lot possessed the land
of the plain, and the river Jordan, not far from the city of Sodom, which
was then a fine city, but is now destroyed, by the will and wrath of God,
the cause of which I shall show in its proper place hereafter.

Now Abram dwelt near the oak called Ogyges,--the place belongs to
Canaan, not far from the city of Hebron. But being uneasy at his wife's
barrenness, he entreated God to grant that he might have male issue; and
God required of him to be of good courage, and said that he would add to
all the rest of the benefits that he had bestowed upon him, ever since
he led him out of Mesopotamia, the gift of children. Accordingly Sarai,
at God's command, brought to his bed one of her handmaidens, a woman of
Egyptian descent, in order to obtain children by her; and when this handmaid
was with child, she triumphed, and ventured to affront Sarai, as if the
dominion were to come to a son to be born of her. But when Abram resigned
her into the hand of Sarai, to punish her, she contrived to fly away, as
not able to bear the instances of Sarai's severity to her; and she entreated
God to have compassion on her. Now a Divine Angel met her, as she was going
forward in the wilderness, and bid her return to her

The forementioned son was born to Abram when he was eighty-six years
old: but when he was ninety-nine, God appeared to him, and promised him
that he Should have a son by Sarai, and commanded that his name should
be Isaac; and showed him, that from this son should spring great nations
and kings, and that they should obtain all the land of Canaan by war, from
Sidon to Egypt. But he charged him, in order to keep his posterity unmixed
with others, that they should be circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin,
and that this should be done on the eighth day after they were born: the
reason of which circumcision I will explain in another place. And Abram
inquiring also concerning Ismael, whether he should live or not, God signified
to him that he should live to be very old, and should be the father of
great nations. Abram therefore gave thanks to God for these blessings;
and then he, and all his family, and his son Ismael, were circumcised immediately;
the son being that day thirteen years o

ABRAHAM now removed to Gerar of Palestine, leading Sarah along with
him, under the notion of his sister, using the like dissimulation that
he had used before, and this out of fear: for he was afraid of Abimelech,
the king of that country, who did also himself fall in love with Sarah,
and was disposed to corrupt her; but he was restrained from satisfying
his lust by a dangerous distemper which befell him from God. Now when his
physicians despaired of curing him, he fell asleep, and saw a dream, warning
him not to abuse the stranger's wife; and when he recovered, he told his
friends that God had inflicted that disease upon him, by way of punishment,
for his injury to the stranger; and in order to preserve the chastity of
his wife, for that she did not accompany him as his sister, but as his
legitimate wife; and that God had promised to be gracious to him for the
time to come, if this person be once secure of his wife's chastity. When
he had said this, by the advice of his friends, he se
