Bible. Genesis
And Lot departed out of Zoar and dwelled in the mountayns ãd his .ij.
doughters with him for he feared to tary in Zoar: he dweld therfore in
a caue/ both he and his .ij. doughters also.
Than sayde the elder vnto the yonger oure father is olde/ and there
are no moo men in the erth to come in vnto vs after the maner of all
the world. Come therfore/ let vs geue oure father wyne to dryncke/ and
let vs lye with him that we may saue seed of oure father. And they
gaue their father wyne to drynke that same nyghte. And the elder
doughter went and laye with her father. And he perceaued it not/
nether when she laye doune/ nether when she rose vp.
And on the morewe the elder sayde vnto the yonger: beholde/
yesternyghte laye I with my father. Let us geue hym wyne to drinke
this nyghte also/ and goo thou and lye with him/ and let us saue seed
of oure father. And they gaue their father wyne to drincke that nyghte
also. And the yonger arose and laye with him. And he perceaved it not:
nether when she laye downe/ nether when she rose vp.
Thus were both the doughters of lot with childe by their father And
the elder bare a sone and called hym Moab/ which is the father of the
Moabytes vnto this daye. And the yonger bare a sonne and called hym
Ben Ammi/ which is the father of the childern of Ammon vnto this daye.
The .xx. Chapter.
And Abraham departed thence towarde the southcontre and dwelled
betwene Cades and Sur ãd sogeorned in Gerar. And Abraham sayde of Sara
his wyfe/ that she was his sister. Than Abimelech kynge of Gerar sent
and fett Sara awaye.
And God came to Abimelech by nyghte in a dreame and sayde to him: Se/
thou art but a deed man for the womãs sake which thou hast taken
awaye/ for she is a mans wyfe. But Abimelech had not yet come nye her/
and therfore sayde: lorde wilt thou sley rightewes people? sayde not
he vnto me/ that she was hys sister? yee and sayde not she herself
that he was hir brother? wyth a pure herte and innocent handes haue I
done this.
And God sayde vnto him in a dreame. I wot it well that thou dydest it
in the purenesse of thi herte. And therfore I kepte y^e that thou
shuldest not synne agenst me/ nether suffred I the to come nygh her.
Now therfore delyuer the mã his wyfe ageyne/ for he is a prophete. And
let him praye for the that thou mayst lyue. But and yf thou delyuer
her not agayne/ be sure that thou shalt dye the deth/ with all that
thou hast.
Than Abimelech rose vp be tymes in the mornynge and called all his
servauntes/ and tolde all these thinges in their eares/ and the men
were sore a frayde. And Abimelech called Abraham and sayde vnto him:
What hast thou done vnto vs/ & what haue I offended the/ that thou
shuldest brynge on me and on my kyngdome so greate a synne? thou hast
done dedes vnto me that ought not to be done. And Abimelech sayde
morouer vnto Abraham: What sawest thou that moved the to do this
thinge?
