Abram (that is, Abraham).

So Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son, whom Abram named Ishmael. ¹ 

(Now ¹  Abram was 86 years old ²  when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.) ³ 

Abram continually journeyed by stages ¹  down to the Negev. ² 

(Now Abram was very wealthy ¹  in livestock, silver, and gold.) ² 

So Abram left, ¹  just as the Lord had told him to do, ²  and Lot went with him. (Now ³  Abram was 75 years old ⁴  when he departed from Haran.)

A fugitive ¹  came and told Abram the Hebrew. ²  Now Abram was living by the oaks ³  of Mamre the Amorite, the brother ⁴  of Eshcol and Aner. (All these were allied by treaty ⁵  with Abram.) ⁶ 

When birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, ¹  and God said to him, ² 

So after Abram had lived ¹  in Canaan for ten years, Sarai, Abram’s wife, gave Hagar, her Egyptian servant, ²  to her husband to be his wife. ³ 

When Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

Abram traveled through the land as far as the oak tree ¹  of Moreh ²  at Shechem. ³  (At that time the Canaanites were in the land.) ⁴ 

There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down to Egypt ¹  to stay for a while ²  because the famine was severe. ³ 

When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

and he did treat Abram well ¹  on account of her. Abram received ²  sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

So Abram went up from Egypt into the Negev. ¹  He took his wife and all his possessions with him, as well as Lot. ² 

This was the place where he had first built the altar, ¹  and there Abram worshiped the Lord. ² 

Now Lot, who was traveling ¹  with Abram, also had ²  flocks, herds, and tents.

Abram settled in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled among the cities of the Jordan plain ¹  and pitched his tents next to Sodom.

So Abram moved his tents and went to live ¹  by the oaks ²  of Mamre in Hebron, and he built an altar to the Lord there.
