Genesis 13-15 - Abram believed in Yahweh; and He counted it to him as righteousness

Abram and Lot Separate

Gen 13:3-4 LSB - [3] And he went on his journeys from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, [4] to the place of the altar which he had made there formerly; and there Abram called upon the name of Yahweh.

Gen 13:10-13 LSB - [10] Then Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere--[this was] before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah--like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar. [11] So Lot chose for himself all the valley of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated from each other. [12] Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived in the cities of the valley and moved his tents as far as Sodom. [13] Now the men of Sodom were evil and sinners, exceedingly so, against Yahweh.

Gen 13:18 LSB - [18] Then Abram moved his tent and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to Yahweh.

Kings of the Valley Take Lot

Gen 14:13 LSB - [13] Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he was dwelling by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were in a covenant with Abram.

Melchizedek Blesses Abram

Gen 14:18-20 LSB - [18] And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High. [19] Then he blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; [20] And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand." Then he gave him a tenth of all.

Yahweh Cuts a Covenant with Abram

Gen 15:4-6 LSB - 

[4] Then behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This one will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir." 

[5] And He brought him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and number the stars, if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your seed be." 

[6] Then he believed in Yahweh; and He counted it to him as righteousness.

Rom 4:2-3 LSB -

[2] For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about--but not before God!

[3] For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS COUNTED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

Rom 4:19-22 LSB -
[19] And without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb;
[20] yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,
[21] and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to do. [22] Therefore IT WAS ALSO COUNTED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Gen 15:16 LSB - [16] "Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete."

Genesis 10-12 - Yahweh Appears to Abram

Nations Descended from Noah

Gen 10:5 LSB - [5] From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his tongue, according to their families, into their nations.

Gen 10:8-10 LSB - [8] Now Cush was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. [9] He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh." [10] The beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

Gen 10:8, 25 LSB - [8] Now Cush was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. ... [25] Now two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one [was] Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name [was] Joktan.

The Tower of Babel

Gen 11:3-4 LSB - [3] Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and burn [them] thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and they had tar for mortar. [4] And they said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top [will reach] into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth."

Gen 11:8-9 LSB - [8] So Yahweh scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. [9] Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth; and from there Yahweh scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

The Generations of Shem

Gen 11:26 LSB - [26] And Terah lived 70 years and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

The Generations of Terah

Gen 11:31 LSB - [31] And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans in order to go to the land of Canaan; and they came as far as Haran and settled there.

Yahweh Appears to Abram

Gen 12:1-4 LSB - 

[1] And Yahweh said to Abram, "Go forth from your land, And from your kin And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you; 

[2] And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; 

[3] And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." 

[4] So Abram went forth as Yahweh had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Gen 12:8 LSB - [8] Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to Yahweh and called upon the name of Yahweh.

Abram and Sarai in Egypt

Gen 12:18-19 LSB - [18] Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? [19] "Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her for myself as a wife? So now, here is your wife, take her and go."

From The LORD will provide by John Newton

His call we obey 

Like Abram of old, 

Not knowing our way, 

But faith makes us bold; 

For though we are strangers 

We have a good Guide, 

Though troubles assail 

And trust in all dangers, T

he Lord will provide.

Genesis 7-9 - The Dove Found Rest in the Ark

Noah and the Flood

Gen 7:1 LSB - [1] Then Yahweh said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you [alone] I have seen [to be] righteous before Me in this generation.

Gen 7:5 LSB - [5] And Noah did according to all that Yahweh had commanded him.

Gen 7:11-12 LSB - [11] In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the great deep split open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. [12] Then the rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

Gen 7:15 LSB - [15] So they came to Noah into the ark, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life.

Gen 7:20-23 LSB - [20] The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. [21] And all flesh that moved on the earth breathed its last, that is birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, as well as all mankind. [22] All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life--of all that was on the dry land--died. [23] Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah remained, and those that were with him in the ark.

The Water Dries Up

Gen 8:1-3 LSB - [1] Then God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided. [2] Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained; [3] and the water receded from the earth, going [forth] and returning, and at the end of 150 days the water decreased.

Gen 8:9 LSB - [9] but the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, so it returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the surface of all the earth. Then he stretched out his hand and took it and brought it into the ark to himself.

Rest for weary souls by John Newton 

Piano

 

In the ark, the weary dove
Found a welcome resting–place;
Thus my spirit longs to prove
Rest in CHRIST, the ark of grace:
Tempest–tossed I long have been,
And the flood increases fast;
Open, LORD, and take me in,
Till the storm be overpast.

Yahweh’s Covenant with Noah

Gen 8:20 LSB - [20] Then Noah built an altar to Yahweh and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 

Gen 7:2 LSB - [2] "You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean, two, a male and his female;

Gen 8:21-22 LSB - 

[21] And Yahweh smelled the soothing aroma; and Yahweh said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done. 

[22] "While all the days of the earth [remain], 

Seedtime and harvest, 

And cold and heat, 

And summer and winter, 

And day and night 

Shall not cease."

Gen 9:1 LSB - [1] And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

Gen 9:11 LSB - [11] "Indeed I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, and there shall never again be a flood to destroy the earth."

Gen 9:16 LSB - [16] "So the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

Noah’s Three Sons

Gen 6:10 LSB - [10] And Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Gen 9:24-27 LSB - 

[24] Then Noah awoke from his wine, and he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 

[25] So he said, "Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers." 

[26] And he said, "Blessed be Yahweh, The God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. 

[27] "May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant."

Cain and Abel by John Newton

Cain and Abel by John Newton

When Adam fell he quickly lost God’s image, which he once possessed: See All our nature since could boast In Cain, his first–born Son, expressed!

The sacrifice the Lord ordained In type of the Redeemer’s blood, Self–righteous reas’ning Cain disdained, And thought his own first–fruits as good.

Yet rage and envy filled his mind, When, with a fallen, downcast look, He saw his brother favor find, Who GOD’s appointed method took.

By Cain’s own hand, good Abel died, Because the Lord approved his faith; And, when his blood for vengeance cried, He vainly thought to hide his death.

Such was the wicked murd’rer Cain, And such by nature still are we, Until by grace we’re born again, Malicious, blind and proud, as he.

Like him the way of grace we slight, And in our own devices trust; Call evil good, and darkness light, And hate and persecute the just.

The saints, in every age and place, Have found this history fulfilled; The numbers all our thoughts surpass Of Abels, whom the Cains have killed! Rom 8:36

Thus JESUS fell—but O! his blood Far better things than Abel’s cries: Heb 12:24 Obtains his murd’rers peace with God, And gains them mansions in the skies.

Genesis 4-6 - Noah Found Favor in the Eyes of Yahweh

Cain and Abel

Gen 4:3-5 LSB - [3] So it happened in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh of the fruit of the ground. [4] Abel, on his part, also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And Yahweh had regard for Abel and for his offering; [5] but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.

Deu 26:2 LSB - [2] that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground which you bring in from your land that Yahweh your God gives you, and you shall put [it] in a basket and go to the place where Yahweh your God chooses for His name to dwell.

Gen 4:7 LSB - [7] "If you do well, will not [your countenance] be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is lying at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must rule over it."

Gen 4:6-7 LSB - [6] Then Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? [7] "If you do well, will not [your countenance] be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is lying at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must rule over it."

Gen 4:8 LSB - [8] Then Cain spoke to Abel his brother; and it happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

1Jo 3:11-12 LSB - [11] For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; [12] not as Cain, [who] was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous.

Gen 4:25-26 LSB - [25] Then Adam knew his wife again; and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, for [she said], "God has set for me another seed in place of Abel, for Cain killed him." [26] And to Seth, to him also, a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then [men] began to call upon the name of Yahweh.

The Generations of Adam

Gen 5:1-3 LSB - [1] This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. [2] He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created. [3] When Adam had lived 130 years, he became the father of [a son] in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

Gen 5:29 LSB - [29] Now he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will give us rest from our work and from the pain of our hands [arising] from the ground which Yahweh has cursed."

The Nephilim and the Daughters of Men

Gen 6:3 LSB - [3] Then Yahweh said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever because he indeed is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be 120 years."

Gen 6:8 LSB - [8] But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.

The Generations of Noah

Gen 6:11-13 LSB - [11] Now the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. [12] And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. [13] Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

Gen 6:17-18 LSB - [17] "As for Me, behold I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall breathe its last. [18] "But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark--you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

Genesis 2-3 - Adam and Eve Sent Out from the Garden

God Rested

Gen 2:2-3 LSB -
[2] And on the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
[3] Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created in making [it].

The Generations of the Heavens and the Earth

Gen 2:4 LSB - [4] These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven.

Gen 2:7 LSB - [7] Then Yahweh God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and so the man became a living being.

Gen 2:15-17 LSB -
[15] Then Yahweh God took the man and set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.
[16] And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may surely eat;  [17] but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat from it; for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."

Gen 2:18 LSB - [18] Then Yahweh God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."

Gen 2:21-23 LSB -
[21] So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.
[22] And Yahweh God fashioned the rib, which He had taken from the man, into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
[23] Then the man said, "This one finally is bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; This one shall be called Woman, Because this one was taken out of Man."

Gen 2:24 LSB - [24] Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

Adam and Eve Sent Out from the Garden

Gen 3:7-8 LSB -
[7] And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.
[8] Then they heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God in the midst of the trees of the garden.

Gen 3:22-23 LSB - 

[22] Then Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us to know good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever"-- 

[23] therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.

Genesis 1 - Creation

Gen 1:1-31 LSB -
[1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
[2] And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
[3] Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
[4] And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
[5] And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
[6] Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."
[7] So God made the expanse and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
[8] And God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. [9] Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so.
[10] And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.
[11] Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, [and] fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so.
[12] And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
[13] And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
[14] Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;
[15] and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. [16] So God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and [also] the stars.
[17] And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
[18] and to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
[19] And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
[20] Then God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the expanse of the heavens."
[21] And God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. [22] Then God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth."
[23] And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
[24] Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so.
[25] God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
[26] Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, so that they will have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
[27] And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
[28] God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that creeps on the earth."
[29] Then God said, "Behold, I have given to you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has [the] fruit of [the] tree yielding seed; it shall be food for you;
[30] and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that creeps on the earth which has life, [I have given] every green plant for food"; and it was so.
[31] And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
