1	GEN 1:1	At the first, long ago God made the sky and the ground.
2	GEN 1:2	That ground was just staying purposeless. Water was obscuring everything, water was covering everything. In every direction it was dark. His spirit was going above the water.
3	GEN 1:3	God said, “Become light!” After that it became light at his word.
4	GEN 1:4	When he saw it he said, “Good”. He separated the light and the darkness.
5	GEN 1:5	He named the darkness, 'night-that', the light he named, 'day-that'. After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared/arrived.
6	GEN 1:6	Then he said, “Sky become, in order to separate the water and the clouds!”
7	GEN 1:7	That happened. The clouds went upwards, they left the water underneath.
8	GEN 1:8	That sky he named, 'sky-that'. After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared.
9	GEN 1:9	Then he said, “Water go down, become in one place, dry ground appear, become visible!” That happened. The water went down, it left the ground visible.
10	GEN 1:10	That dry ground he named, 'country-that'. That big water he named, 'sea-that'. When he saw it he said “Good”.
11	GEN 1:11	After that he said, “Different kinds of trees appear and different kinds of green plants, with separate foods!” That happened.
12	GEN 1:12	From the ground different kinds of trees appeared, some with foods, some without, and different kinds of green plants appeared also, some with foods, some without. When he saw it he said “Good.”
13	GEN 1:13	After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared.
14	GEN 1:14	Then he said, “Lights become above in the sky, in order to light the countryside. They should give light in the night and in the day. They should keep winter and summer straight.” That happened.
16	GEN 1:16	He made two big ones, the sun and the moon. The big one should make it light truly from dawn right up to evening. The small one should make it light truly in the night. He made the stars also.
17	GEN 1:17	He put them in the sky to light the countryside and also to separate the darkness and the day. When he saw it he said “Good.”
19	GEN 1:19	After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared.
20	GEN 1:20	Then he said, “Many different kinds of water dwellers become in the water-holes and in the sea. Birds become to go above. [Birds: lit. 'winged things' — includes insects]
21	GEN 1:21	Then he made very big animals in the sea. He also made big and little fish of different kinds. In the rivers and water-holes he made different kinds of fish. And he made all the other water dwellers in the water-holes and seas. He made different kinds of winged creatures also. When he saw it he said “Good.”
22	GEN 1:22	He spoke well to them. He spoke to them all, “I will take care of you. You will truly become many, and many children you will have/care for truly.”
23	GEN 1:23	After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared.
24	GEN 1:24	Then he said, “Different kinds of animals become on the ground, to live in the countryside, to go about on the ground, plains-dwelling animals and hills-dwellers, big ones and small ones!” That happened.
25	GEN 1:25	He made them all. When he looked at it he said “Good.”
26	GEN 1:26	After that he said, “We will make people like us. They will be boss for all the animals, and for all the fish and for all the winged creatures and for the ones that go on the ground.”
27	GEN 1:27	God made a man like him. He made a man and a woman.
28	GEN 1:28	He spoke well to these two, “You will control/have/take care of many children truly. Truly people will be everywhere, you (pl.) will be boss for all the animals. You will be boss for the fish and winged creatures and all animals and for all those that go on the ground.
29	GEN 1:29	I made different foods for you (all), all the foods from trees and green plants I am giving you.
30	GEN 1:30	For the animals and winged creatures and all the ones that go on the ground I made green plants with food. I left it for them.”
31	GEN 1:31	Truly he made the whole lot. When he had finished making them God looked at them all. He said, “Very good.” Like that God made everything. He made everything in six days. After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared.
32	GEN 2:1	This next day he did not make another thing. He said about that day, “Already I have finished making everything. I was working, now I have left off working. This day truly I did not make another thing. Because of that this day is different, without work. I have left off work for today.” [Avoiding word for 'rest', which also means 'sleep'.]
38	GEN 2:7	Like this God made a/the person. He got dust from the ground. He made a man from that dust. Then he breathed in the nose of the man, then wind/breath from God entered the man. For that reason the man became alive. The name of that man was Adam.
39	GEN 2:8	After that in the country, in Eden, there God put a big water-hole/permanent camp, a truly good one. He put the man he had made at that water-hole.
40	GEN 2:9	At that water-hole he put different kinds of good trees. There were different kinds having very good food there. In the middle of the trees God put one tree. He named that tree, 'One That Keeps People Alive'. After a person eats from that tree he will live for ever, he will stay without death. He put another tree in the middle of the others, that was a thing associated with making knowledgeable. He named that tree, 'One That Teaches People About Good And Bad'.
46	GEN 2:15	At the water-hole in Eden he put that (previously-referred to) person to dig the ground and to care for the water-hole.
47	GEN 2:16	He said to him, “You can eat food from all the trees at the water-hole.
48	GEN 2:17	(Fruit) from one tree leave, do not eat it, from the tree which makes knowledgeable. I named it, 'One That Teaches People About Good And Bad'. From that tree don't eat. If you eat from that tree truly you will die.”
49	GEN 2:18	Then he said, “The man should not be alone. I will make a companion for him, he will be one with a companion.”
50	GEN 2:19	Already God had made all the animals and winged creatures from the ground. He brought them to the man to give them names. That man gave names to the animals and winged creatures and other creatures. They kept the names in accord with the man's word. Among them all there was not one like the man, a companion for him.
52	GEN 2:21	Then God put the man to sleep, he got a bone from the man's side, then he covered the hole with flesh.
53	GEN 2:22	From the bone he made a woman, he took her to the man.
54	GEN 2:23	Then the man said, “At last! This one is like me! He made her from my body. Her name is 'Woman'.”
55	GEN 2:24	Because of that God left us this track/pattern of behaviour. A/the man will leave mother and father and they will become one, he and his own wife. Truly those two will be one.
56	GEN 2:25	At the water-hole Eden that couple, Adam and his wife, were staying naked, they stayed well, naked, those two, without shame.
57	GEN 3:1	Among the other animals the snake was really clever. The snake asked the woman, “What did God say to you? 'You should not eat food from all the trees at the water-hole'? Like that did God say to you?”
58	GEN 3:2	The woman said to him, “We (two) can eat from some/the rest of the trees from the water-hole/camp.
59	GEN 3:3	God said to us, 'From one tree only, in the middle of the camp in the thick trees, from that do not eat food, and do not touch that tree for fear of dying'.”
60	GEN 3:4	The snake said to her, he lied, “You will not die.
61	GEN 3:5	If you eat (after eating) from that tree, you will become like God, knowing about good and about bad. God doesn't like that. To avoid that he said to you, 'Don't eat from that tree'.” With deceit the snake said to her, “Don't listen to God.”
62	GEN 3:6	The woman was looking at the food, looking with interest, it was good. She was thinking, “That food will make me knowledgeable.” The woman wanted to become knowledgeable, like God. Then she went to that tree, broke off food, ate it. She gave some to her husband. He also ate it.
63	GEN 3:7	They understood, they saw themselves that they were naked. Then they became ashamed. Because of that they made for themselves pubic covers from big leaves.
64	GEN 3:8	In the evening they heard the footsteps of God while he was walking at the water-hole. With fear they hid themselves among the trees on account of God.
65	GEN 3:9	God called to the man, “Where are you(sg)?”
66	GEN 3:10	He replied, “Yes, I heard you walking at the water-hole. I was naked. Because of that I was afraid, I hid from you.
67	GEN 3:11	God asked him, “How did you learn you were naked? From that tree, the One that Teaches People About Good and Bad, did you eat food from that?”
68	GEN 3:12	The man said to him, “You gave me this woman. She [emphasised] gave me (food) from that tree. I ate the food.”
69	GEN 3:13	God asked the woman, “What did you do?” She said to him, “The snake deceived me. I ate because of his word.”
70	GEN 3:14	God said to the snake, “You did very badly. In response I will truly do evil to you, not to the rest of the animals, only to you. On your stomach [emphasised] you will go. You will eat dust always. I will make you dislike the woman. I will make the woman dislike you. Your children and those of the woman will look at each other in anger. The/A child of the woman will truly bruise your head. You truly will bruise his heel.”
72	GEN 3:16	To the woman he said, “I will give you a lot of pain when you have a child. Knowing about pain when you have a child, continually you will long for a/the man. He will be a boss for you truly.”
73	GEN 3:17	Then God said to the man, “I told you not to eat that food. You didn't listen to me. Because of your wife's word you ate food from that tree. In response I will make the country bad. Spinifex and prickles and those sorts of things will appear. You will search for food always. You will dig hard for food, Every day you will be exhausted, you will sweat hard getting food to eat. (Lit., “Every day you will break, truly sweat will eat you.”) After dying you will become dust. I made you from the ground. From the dust I made you. After dying you will become dust again.
76	GEN 3:20	That man gave his wife the name Eve. She is the mother for us all.
77	GEN 3:21	Then God made clothes from animal skins for them, for Adam and his wife, God put them on them.
78	GEN 3:22	Then he said, “The man didn't listen to me, he already ate from the tree that makes knowledgeable. He is now like us, he knows/understands about good and bad. He might eat from that other tree, from the one that keeps alive. After that he will live always, he will stay without death. I will prevent him lest he eat.”
79	GEN 3:23	God sent those two from that water-hole in Eden. He sent them away to dig the ground, to put foods in the ground, to cause their foods to come up.
80	GEN 3:24	After that God put an angel [English word phonemicised] east of that water-hole, and a big cutting thing, like a big knife. The point of that big cutting thing was going in every direction, and it was flashing. God told that angel, “You are to stop the man/people from entering close to that tree, to that tree that keeps alive.”
81	GEN 4:1	Adam and Eve went from that place Eden. After that Eve had a son. She said, “God has given me a son.” His name was Cain.
82	GEN 4:2	After that she had another son. His name was Abel. The two became big. They became men. Abel used to care for sheep. Cain used to dig the ground. He used to put foods in the ground, they used to come up, he used to gather them.
83	GEN 4:3	Once Cain took food, he gave it to God.
84	GEN 4:4	His younger brother took a sheep, he killed it, he gave good parts to God. Abel pleased God.
85	GEN 4:5	Cain did not please him. Because of that Cain was (habitually) angry. His face changed (became different).
86	GEN 4:6	God said to him, “Why are you angry with me? Why did your face change towards me? You should not be sullen.
87	GEN 4:7	If you did right you would have been happy. You were doing badly. You should straighten yourself up to do good. If you do that you will make me happy. If you don't you will keep doing evil.” [Missed concept of need to resist temptation.]
88	GEN 4:8	Cain didn't listen to God. He kept on being sullen. Because of that he said to his younger brother, “Let's go somewhere a long way off.” They went off. Then Cain killed his younger brother.
89	GEN 4:9	Because of that God asked him, “Where is your younger brother?” The eldest one lied, “I don't know. I don't take care of him.”
90	GEN 4:10	God said to him, “You lied. You killed him. His blood is on the ground. You truly did badly.
91	GEN 4:11	In response I will do evil to you because of him/it. The ground will stay bad for you.
92	GEN 4:12	And foods will not come up for you. I will send you far off. With fear you will keep going to other places.”
93	GEN 4:13	Cain said to him, “You have made it extremely hard for me.
94	GEN 4:14	I will go about to other places. Perhaps someone will kill me.”
95	GEN 4:15	God said to him, “Whoever hits/kills you I will hit/kill him truly because of you.”
96	GEN 4:16	Because of that Cain went far off. He stayed eastwards a long way from Eden. They call that far country, 'He just keeps wandering around'.
97	GEN 4:17	His wife had a child named Enoch. Cain built a town. He named that town for his child, he named that town Enoch also. [4:18-24 omitted.]
105	GEN 4:25	After Abel died Eve had another child. She said, “Cain killed Abel. God in response has given me another child.” She named him Seth.
139	GEN 6:1	After a long time there were many people. They scattered, they were everywhere. They all became really bad. They didn't listen to God. They kept on ignoring him. They kept talking to each other about how to do evil. Because of that God said, “The people are all doing bad things. They are always thinking about how to do evil. When I made them they were good, now they have become very bad. Because of that I am broken-hearted (lit: 'my stomach is broken'). I will kill the evil doers, and the animals and birds also.”
146	GEN 6:8	Just one man pleased God. His name was Noah, he used to listen to God. He used to do good. He didn't do evil. He had three children, three males, their names were Shem, Ham, Japheth.
149	GEN 6:11	God said to Noah, “All the other people are living really badly. They ignore me, they don't listen to me. They are talking to each other all the time to do evil and they are hitting/killing each other. Because of that reason I will kill them all.
152	GEN 6:14	You make a really big boat for fear of the flood. The flood will carry it on top. Make it very big and long and wide. You will make it from wood.
155	GEN 6:17	I will make a big flood for them. The big water will swallow them. You I will keep alive.
156	GEN 6:18	You will enter it with your wife and your children and their wives. Gather animals and birds, cause them to enter the big boat. Collect them, animals, married-pair by married-pair, you will get different kinds pair by pair to make them enter the big boat. You will keep them alive from the flood.
159	GEN 6:21	And gather for them different foods. For yourselves also heap up food in the boat.”
160	GEN 6:22	Noah believed God. He made a very big boat, with wood he made it, long and wide. And he collected a large amount of different foods and put them in (the boat). Truly Noah did all in accordance with God's word.
161	GEN 7:1	After that God said to him, “Soon that big rain will fall. Hurry, get in the boat, you and yours. You (sg) alone are characterised by goodness, you alone have been listening to me. For that reason I will keep you and yours alive.
162	GEN 7:2	Take inside those (previously referred to) animals and birds. Put them in accordance with my word. Take birds, 7 pairs of one kind, 7 pairs of another kind, different kinds. And take tame animals the same way, 7 pairs. And of the remaining animals take pair by pair, different kinds.
164	GEN 7:4	I will send rain. It will really pour down, day after day. For 40 days truly. The big flood will kill those outside the boat.”
165	GEN 7:5	Noah entered the boat because of God's word. And he took his wife and children and their wives and the animals and birds. They all entered.
166	GEN 7:6	Then God shut the door.
170	GEN 7:10	After that a big rain fell.
171	GEN 7:11	And from under the ground a flood came bubbling up also.
172	GEN 7:12	Rain fell for 40 days. It was falling hard, it really poured, it kept on falling.
179	GEN 7:19	There was a really big flood. The water lifted the boat like flotsam, it stayed on top of the water. The flood completely covered the hills and trees.
181	GEN 7:21	The father and sons and their wives and the animals stayed alive in the boat. The flood killed the remaining animals and all the people, everything outside. 7:24—8:3 God was caring for those who were in the boat. He sent a wind. After that the flood abated. It was going down slowly for 4 months. They were staying in the boat a long time, they were waiting for the flood to go down.
188	GEN 8:4	After that the flood left the boat on top of the hills. It came to rest (lit: 'sat down') on top of the hills. The name of that hilly place was Ararat.
189	GEN 8:5	The flood was continuing to go down. After that, after 3 months, the heads of the hills appeared after being hidden by the water. The water kept going down.
190	GEN 8:6	After that, after one month, Noah sent out a crow. The crow was searching for dry ground and trees. He went away for good, he didn't return.
192	GEN 8:8	After that, after 7 days, Noah sent another creature, a dove. It was searching in vain for dry ground. Soon it returned to the boat. Noah stretched out his arm, the dove landed on his arm, Noah put him inside the boat.
194	GEN 8:10	Noah waited seven days. After that again he sent out the dove.
195	GEN 8:11	In the late afternoon it returned to the boat, it carried a leaf in its mouth. Noah said, “The water is really going down.”
196	GEN 8:12	After that, in seven days, Noah again tried out the dove. It went away for good, it did not return. It saw ground.
197	GEN 8:13	Noah waited one month. After that he looked around.
198	GEN 8:14	Truly the ground was getting dry, the ground was hard.
199	GEN 8:15	Then God said to Noah, “You (pl) get down and make the animals and birds get down. They've got to scatter. They have to become many everywhere.”
202	GEN 8:18	Then they got down from the boat, Noah and his wife and children and daughters-in-law and the different kinds of animals and birds.
204	GEN 8:20	Noah heaped up stones. He got a few tame animals and tame birds to give to God. He killed them, on top of the stones he burned/cooked them, bones and all, completely dry, to ashes. They used to do that in the beginning, in order to please God.
205	GEN 8:21	In return God said to Noah, “Previously I made it bad for the whole earth because of the evil that people did. I won't do like that again. I know about people. From childhood they are thinking only about how to do really bad (things). I will not again kill people and all creatures truly because of the evil that people have done. I did it once. I won't do it again.
206	GEN 8:22	Now summer and winter will follow each other. Heat and cold will follow each other. Day and night will follow each other. Just like that they will be.”
207	GEN 9:1	God spoke kindly to Noah and his children. “You will have many children. They will be everywhere.
208	GEN 9:2	You will be boss for all the animals. They will be afraid of you.
209	GEN 9:3	Now I am giving them all to you to eat, the fish and animals and birds. Previously you only used to eat vegetable food. Now you can also eat meat.
210	GEN 9:4	You must not eat blood. When you eat meat, leave the blood without eating it.
211	GEN 9:5	You should not hit/kill a person. Be good to people. I made people like me. Because of that don't kill a person. If anyone hits/kills a person you(pl) will kill him in return.”
214	GEN 9:8	God spoke another word to Noah and his children, “I am giving you (pl) this word, for you and yours, and for all the animals and for everything on the ground.
217	GEN 9:11	Because of this word of mine I will not again hit/kill people and animals and other things by means of a flood.
218	GEN 9:12	It will stay like this from now on. I am giving you this word now.
219	GEN 9:13	I am putting that rainbow of mine in the clouds.
220	GEN 9:14	Whenever I send you clouds that have rain, I will put my rainbow in the clouds. Truly I will see that. When I see it, truly I will remember this word I am putting down for you today. That rainbow is a reminder for this word. This firm word of mine is for you (pl) and the animals, for everything on the ground. I will not kill everything with a flood. It will stay (the same) from now on.”
224	GEN 9:18	Those children of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth had children. From them all of us came. [NOTE: Chapter 10 has been omitted at this stage, because it would merely confuse and distract struggling readers.]
234	GEN 9:28	After the big flood Noah lived a long time, 350 years.
235	GEN 9:29	He became 950 years old. After that he died.
268	GEN 11:1	After that for a long time people were talking just that one language.
269	GEN 11:2	They were going eastwards a bit at a time. They came to a big plain in the east. The name of that country was Shinar.
270	GEN 11:3	They ignored God's word. They said to one another, “Let's not spread out/scatter in all directions. Let's stay united. Let's stay right here, without roaming. Let's make a big camp, let's make a big hill-like (thing) also, extremely big upwards, right up to the sky. Everyone else will talk about us. They will say, 'Those people in Shinar are clever, they are truly smart'.” They got mud, they made bricks, they baked them in the fire to make them hard, they made very many. Joining them they glued them with bitumen. They built, they built. (i.e., they kept building for a long time.)
272	GEN 11:5	God knew about them. He said, “I told them to spread out. They did not listen to me. They stayed united to do evil. They are staying in one group, they talk one language. They will do more and more evil.
274	GEN 11:7	Lest they do that I will confuse their language. They will talk different languages. Then they will not understand each other.”
275	GEN 11:8	God did that. He confused their talk. He made them spread out in every direction. They did not again make their big camp, and the really big hill-like (thing). They left it still unfinished. They left it forever.
276	GEN 11:9	The name of that camp was Babel. That word Babel says, 'They were forgetting the same language for each other.' They were puzzling about each other's talk. [11:10-26 omitted. 11:27-32 are in next file (tho' title of that indicates only “12-24”).]
294	GEN 11:27	A long time after that big flood a man appeared, his name was Abram. He was an inhabitant of that country Chaldea. He lived in the town named Ur. His father's name was Terah, his younger brothers were Nahor and Haran. (That Haran had children, a son named Lot, and two daughters named Milcah and Iscah.) While Terah was still alive Haran died in his country, in that town Ur.
296	GEN 11:29	Nahor and Haran's daughter Milcah got married. Abram and Sarai got married, those two.
297	GEN 11:30	Sarai could not have a child, she was staying without children.
298	GEN 11:31	After that Terah left that town. He took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai, his grandson Lot, just them. They were going westwards towards another country, Canaan. Partway they arrived at a town named Haran. They settled there for a long time.
299	GEN 11:32	While he was there Terah died in Haran. He was really old, he had many years, 205.
300	GEN 12:1	While Abram's father was alive God spoke to Abram, “You(sg) will ['you are to'; this future form is often used as a mild imperative, which the hearer has the option of disobeying] leave your country, you will leave your father's camp, you will leave the others. You will go to another country, later I will show you, after you arrive there I will tell you, 'This is that very country.'
301	GEN 12:2	I will give you very many grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them. I will make you a big boss, I truly will do good to you.
302	GEN 12:3	Some will do good to you, I will do good to them. Others will do bad to you, I will do bad to them. As a result of your mob I will do good to all people, in other countries everywhere.”
303	GEN 12:4	After that Abram went in accordance with God's word. At that time he was old, he had 75 years. He took his wife Sarai, his younger brother's son Lot also, he took his animals and belongings. He took his men also, all his workers, he got them in that town Haran. They all went from Haran, they were going southwards, towards the country Canaan they were going. They were going for many days [lit. 'camps, camps they were going']. They arrived there, in Canaan.
305	GEN 12:6	They were going. Partway still in Canaan they rested near a big tree, they made a camp site at what's-its-name, near that tree named Moreh. That tree was near the town Shechem. (At that time Canaan's mob were still living in that country too.)
306	GEN 12:7	After that God appeared to Abram, he said to him, “This very country I will give to your grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them.” Because of that Abram gathered stones there, he made a heap. There he worshipped God [lit. 'from the stomach he praised him'].
307	GEN 12:8	After that they went southwards to the hilly country east of what's-that-place, Bethel. They made a camp east of Bethel and west of what's-that-place, Ai, there they put their tents. Again he gathered stones, he made a heap, there he worshipped God.
308	GEN 12:9	After that they were going southwards, camp after camp, they were going towards the desert.
309	GEN 12:10	After that the country became dry, without water, without food. Abram and his animals were staying in a bad way. After that Abram and his mob left that country, they went westwards to that country, to Egypt, to make camp there.
310	GEN 12:11	As they were going Abram said to his wife, “Your face is beautiful.
311	GEN 12:12	Those men in Egypt will see you, they will desire you. Perhaps they will say to each other, 'That is his wife. We might kill the man, we will keep the woman alive.'
312	GEN 12:13	To avoid that you tell them, 'This is my older brother.' You will do that, they will not kill me, they will do good to me.”
313	GEN 12:14	They arrived in the country, in Egypt. The inhabitants of the land saw Sarai. They were thinking, “That woman's face is beautiful.”
314	GEN 12:15	Some important ones were looking at her, they liked her, they told their big boss, “Wow! That woman, Abram's younger sister, has a really beautiful face.” The boss said to them, “Bring that woman to me.” They took Sarai to him.
315	GEN 12:16	In return the boss gave Abram many sheep and cows and donkeys and camels and working people, men and women.
316	GEN 12:17	Sarai was stopping in the camp of the big boss. After that God made the boss and his mob sick. A very big sickness came on them.
317	GEN 12:18	After that the boss sent a message to Abram, “Come here.” He growled at him, “You did the wrong thing to me. You lied to me about your wife.
318	GEN 12:19	Why did you say, 'She is a younger sister to me'? Because of your word I took her for a wife. She is your wife. Take her! You two go for good!”
319	GEN 12:20	He told his men to send Abram right away.
320	GEN 13:1	After that Abram left Egypt. He took his wife and his own younger brother's son Lot, he took all his belongings. Going they all returned to the dry country of Canaan.
321	GEN 13:2	At that time Abram had very many animals, sheep, goats, cattle, donkeys, camels, gold and money, anything.
322	GEN 13:3	Camp by camp they were going, they came back to that camp close to Bethel.
323	GEN 13:4	Right there earlier Abram gathered stones, he was talking to God. After returning he again really worshipped God.
324	GEN 13:5	Lot also was staying there, he had lots of animals and workers.
325	GEN 13:6	There were no end of animals on that country. Abram's workers and Lot's workers were seaching in vain for grass for the animals.
326	GEN 13:7	Because of that the workers of those two were looking at each other with anger. (There were also some inhabitants of that land there, Canaan's mob and Periz's mob.)
327	GEN 13:8	Abram said to Lot, “We two are relatives. We two should stay without anger. My men and yours should stay without anger.
328	GEN 13:9	This country is big. You choose your country. You will go to that country, I will go in another direction.”
329	GEN 13:10	Lot looked around the country eastward, he saw a plain near the river, the name of that river was Jordan. That was good country, with plenty of water, in good condition all the way to Zoar, like the country Egypt. Two towns were in that plain, Sodom and Gomorrah.
330	GEN 13:11	Lot chose that very country. He went east. In that way Abram and Lot separated.
331	GEN 13:12	Abram stayed in Canaan country, Lot made camp on the plain, near the two towns, close to Sodom he made camp.
332	GEN 13:13	Those people in Sodom were disobeyers/ignorers of God. They were really bad.
333	GEN 13:14	After that God said to Abram, “From here look in every direction, northwards, southwards, eastwards and westwards.
334	GEN 13:15	All this country I will give you, for you and for your grandchildren's grandchildren and for those who come after them, forever.
335	GEN 13:16	I will look after them, they will become very many. (People) won't be able to name them.
336	GEN 13:17	I will give you all this country. You will go through this country, you will look at it.” Like that he told Abram.
337	GEN 13:18	After that Abram left that camp, he went to another camp, he was staying at the trees in Mamre, near the town Hebron. Again he heaped up stones, he worshipped God.
338	GEN 14:1	Lot was staying in his camp on the plain, inside Sodom. After that people from the east, foreigners, gathered together, they came to hit the inhabitants near Sodom. One man from the east, named Kedorlaomer, was boss for his town, for Elam. That very one had earlier made himself boss for the people near Sodom. He forced them by fighting to give money. Those people near Sodom were giving him money for a long time, 12 years. At last they said to each other, “From now we won't give money to Kedorlaomer, we will withhold it. We will not listen to him.”
342	GEN 14:5	For that reason Kedorlaomer, that Elam boss from the east, and other bosses gathered together, from a few towns they gathered eastwards. They gathered their fighting men together. After that they all went to fight against the inhabitants near Sodom. They were going southwards, they avoided Sodom, that was west of them. They were going southwards, after that westwards, after that northwards, while going through the countries they were killing all the people. At last they came right to Sodom.
345	GEN 14:8	The bosses from those towns, from what's-their-names, Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela, those bosses gathered together their fighters, with weapons. They went to meet the ones from the east. In that valley, what's-its-name, Siddim, the people from around Sodom and the ones from the east were fighting.
347	GEN 14:10	In that valley there were many holes in the ground, with what's-its-name, with bitmumen. Those fighters from Sodom and Gomorrah ran away for fear of the fight. Some entered the holes, others ran to the hilly country.
348	GEN 14:11	After that those easterners took for themselves all the food and belongings from Sodom and Gomorrah.
349	GEN 14:12	They took Lot also, Abram's younger brother's son. They took Lot's belongings. They also took all the other people. They left to go to their own country.
350	GEN 14:13	At that time Abram was near Mamre's tree/s. Mamre and his two younger brothers, Eschol and Aner, were friends of Abram. One man ran from the fight, he came to Abram, he said to him, “Those fighters from the east took your brother's son, they took Lot with them.”
351	GEN 14:14	Abram when he heard that word gathered his fighting men. Those 318 went with Abram. They followed those (people) from the east. Mamre and Eschol and Aner also went. From behind they were following the easterners, they went a long way northwards, all the way to that country, to Dan.
352	GEN 14:15	In the night Abram split up his men, he spread them out. At that very time they hit the easterners hard, they caused them to run away for good, they chased them northwards to another country, towards Homah beyond what's-that-place, beyond Damascus.
353	GEN 14:16	After that Abram's men got back all the possessions of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his possessions, the women and all the other prisoners. After that they all returned southwards.
354	GEN 14:17	As Abram was returning to the camp that Sodom boss went to meet him in the valley, named Shaveh valley.
355	GEN 14:18	Another man, named Melchizedek, also came to him there, he brought bread and wine for Abram. That Melchizedek was boss for that town Salem. From earlier he was also a ceremonial leader for God, for that Boss who is above.
356	GEN 14:19	This ceremonial leader Melchizedek said to Abram, “You know God. He is boss above. He is the one who made the sky and the ground and the sea and everything also. I am asking God that he will do good to you. Let us all praise God, the Boss above. He rescued you, for you he hit the fighters from the east completely.” After that Abram from the belongings he brought back gave (some) to him. From 10 cattle he gave one, from 10 sheep he gave one, from everything in that way he gave animals and belongings to Melchizedek.
358	GEN 14:21	That Sodom boss said to Abram, “The belongings which have been brought back you will keep for yourself. I only want my people.”
359	GEN 14:22	Abram replied, “I will not keep your belongings, not any. God is Boss for all, he is the one who made everything, the sky and the ground and the sea also. I have already told God I will not keep your belongings, not even a little cloth. You might say, 'I truly gave Abram all his belongings.'
361	GEN 14:24	You might say like that. To avoid that I will not keep your belongings. Just food I will keep for my young men. These others I also took with me, Aner and Eschol and Mamre. Give belongings to those men.”
362	GEN 15:1	After that God appeared to Abram in a dream. He said to him, “Abram, don't be afraid. I am the one who will look after you for ever. Truly I will give you great possessions.”
363	GEN 15:2	Abram answered him, “You are boss for everything. Why will you give me lots of possessions? Still I have no child. After I am dead my worker, that Eliezer, he is the one who will get my possessions.
364	GEN 15:3	You have not given me a child. My worker will get all my possessions.”
365	GEN 15:4	In reply God said to him, “Not your worker, not Eliezer, he will not get your possessions. Your own child, he is the one who will get your possessions.”
366	GEN 15:5	After that God took Abram outside, he said to him, “Look up, look at those stars. They are very many. You cannot count them [lit. 'cannot put names on them'], they are many. Your own grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them also will become very many. You will not be able put names on them, they will be very many.” Like that God spoke to him.
367	GEN 15:6	Abram listened, truly he believed God. Because of that God became happy with him.
368	GEN 15:7	Again God spoke to him. “I am the one who earlier told you in the country Chaldea to leave your camp. You came here in accord with my word. This very land I will give you, it will be yours forever.”
369	GEN 15:8	Abram said to him, “God, you are the boss for everything. How will I know about that word, it is true?”
