The City Gate Messianic Bible

SYNOPSIS: YEHOVAH speaks to Avram,
commanding him, “Go from your land, from your birthplace and from your
father’s house, to the land which I will show you.” There, YEHOVAH gives
Avram the Sevenfold eternal blessing. Avram and his wife, Sarai,
accompanied by his nephew Lot, journey to the land of Canaan, where
Avram builds an altar. A famine forces the first Hebrew to depart for
Egypt, where beautiful Sarai is taken to Pharaoh’s palace; A dream
prevents the Egyptian king from touching her, and convinces him to
return her to Avram and to compensate the brother-revealed-as-husband
with gold, silver and cattle. Back in the land of Canaan, Lot separates
from Avram and settles in the evil city of Sodom, where he falls
captive. Avram sets out with a small band to rescue his nephew, defeats
the kings, and is blessed by Malki-Tzedek king of Shalem brought out
bread and wine. He was cohen of El `Elyon [(God Most High). Still
childless ten years after their arrival in the Land, Sarai gives her
maidservant Hagar to Avram. Hagar conceives, becomes insolent toward her
mistress, and then flees when Sarai treats her harshly; an angel
convinces her to return, and tells her that her son will father a
populous nation. Ishmael is born in Avram’s eighty-sixth year. YEHOVAH
changes Avram’s name to Avraham (“father of nations”), and Sarai’s to
Sarah (“princess”), and promises that a son will be born to them; from
this child, whom they should call Isaac (“will laugh”). Avraham is
commanded to circumcise himself and his descendants as a “sign of the
covenant between Me and you.”
