-
The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where is gold.

And the gold of that land is good: there is Bdellium, and the Onyx stone.
-
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole land of Cush.
-
Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod toward the East side of Eden.
-
There were giants in the earth in those days: yea, and after that the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they had borne them children, these were mighty men, which in old time were men of renown.
-
Everything in whose nostrils the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoever they were in the dry land, they died.
-
Of these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands, every man after his tongue, and after their families in their nations.
-
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
-
Out of that land came Assyria, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah:
-
And as they went from the East, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
-
Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
-
Then Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife: and they departed together from Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
-
1 Abram by God’s commandment goeth to Canaan. 3 Christ is promised. 7 Abram buildeth Altars for exercise and declaration of his faith among the infidels. 10 Because of the dearth he goeth into Egypt. 15 Pharaoh taketh his wife, and is punished. For the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house unto the land that I will show thee.
-
Then Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they possessed, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan, and to the land of Canaan they came.
-
¶ So Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, and unto the plain of Moreh (and the Canaanite was then in the land)
-
And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there built he an altar unto the Lord, which appeared unto him.
-
¶ Then there came a famine in the land: therefore Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there: for there was a great famine in the land.
-
So that the land could not bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
-
Also there was debate between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle, and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle, (and the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelleth at that time in the land.)
-
Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right: or if thou go to the right hand, then I will take the left.
-
So when Lot lifted up his eyes, he saw that all the plain of Jordan was watered everywhere (for before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, it was as the garden of the Lord like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.)
-
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent even unto Sodom.
-
For all the land which thou seest, will I give unto thee, and to thy seed forever,
