For all the land which thou ſeeſt, * to thee will I giue it, and to thy ſeede for euer.

And I will make thy ſeede as the duſt of the earth: ſo that if a man can number the duſt of the earth, then ſhall thy ſeed alſo be numbred.

And the vale of Siddim was full of ſlime-pits: and the Kings of Sodom ⁊ Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained, fled to the mountaine.

And they tooke all the goods of Sodome and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

And hee brought backe all the goods, and alſo brought againe his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women alſo, and the people.

¶ And the King of Sodome went out to meete him, (after his returne from the ſlaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the Kings that were with him) at the valley of Saueh, which is the * Kings dale.

And hee bleſſed him, and ſaide; Bleſſed bee Abram of the moſt high God, poſſeſſour of heauen and earth,
