The History of Creation^(A)

1 In the ^(B)beginning ^(C)God created the heavens and the earth.

^4 (A)This is the ^[a]history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

Abram and Melchizedek^(A)

¹⁸ Then ^(B)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out ^(C)bread and wine; he was ^(D)the priest of ^(E)God Most High.

^2 (A)But Abram said, “Lord God, what will You give me, ^(B)seeing I ^[a]go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”

¹³ Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-^[a]the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here ^[b]seen Him ^(A)who sees me?”

The Sign of the Covenant^(A)

17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord ^(B)appeared to Abram and said to him, ^(C)“I am ^[a]Almighty God; ^(D)walk before Me and be ^(E)blameless.

³³ Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and ^(A)there called on the name of the Lord, ^(B)the Everlasting God.

¹⁴ And Abraham called the name of the place, ^[a]The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
