Abram said to the king of Sodom,“ I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

I will bring you to the land I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I lifted up my hand and promised it to them. The land will belong to you. I am the Lord.’ ”

The man raised both hands toward heaven. I heard him make a promise in the name of the God who lives forever. He answered me,“ Three and a half years. Then the power of the holy people will finally be broken. And all these things will come true.”

I had seen an angel standing on the sea and on the land. This angel raised his right hand to heaven.He made a promise in the name of the God who lives for ever and ever. This is the God who created the sky, earth and sea and all that is in them. The angel said,“ There will be no more waiting!

The earth belongs to the Lord. And so does everything in it. The world belongs to him. And so do all those who live in it.

May you, the Lord, let your enemies know who you are. You alone are the Most High God over the whole earth.

I raise my hand to heaven. Here is the promise I make. You can be sure that I live forever.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba. There he called on the name of the Lord, the God who lives forever.

At the end of that time I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven. My mind became clear again. Then I praised the Most High God. I gave honor and glory to the God who lives forever. His rule will last forever. His kingdom will never end.

“ The silver belongs to me. So does the gold,” announces the Lord who rules over all.

When Jephthah saw her, he was so upset that he tore his clothes. He cried out,“ Oh no, my daughter! You have filled me with trouble and sorrow. I’ve made a promise to the Lord. And I can’t break it.”

Now make a promise to me here while God is watching. Give me your word that you will treat me fairly. Promise that you will treat my children and their children the same way. I’ve been kind to you. Now you be kind to me and the country where you are living as an outsider.”Abraham said,“ I give you my word that I’ll do it.”Then Abraham complained to Abimelek that his servants had taken over a well of water.But Abimelek said,“ I don’t know who has done this. You didn’t tell me. And today is the first time I heard about it.”So Abraham gave Abimelek sheep and cattle. The two men came to an agreement.Then Abraham picked out seven female lambs from his flock.Abimelek asked Abraham,“ What’s the meaning of these seven female lambs? Why have you picked them out and set them apart?”Abraham replied,“ Accept the seven lambs from me. They will be a witness that I dug this well.”So that place was named Beersheba. That’s because there the two men came to an agreement.

When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him. He said,“ I am the Mighty God. Walk faithfully with me. Live in a way that pleases me.

The God who is highly honored lives forever. His name is holy. He says,“ I live in a high and holy place. But I also live with anyone who turns away from their sins. I live with anyone who is not proud. I give new life to them. I give it to anyone who turns away from their sins.

He gave a blessing to Abram. He said,“ May the Most High God bless Abram. May the Creator of heaven and earth bless him.Give praise to the Most High God. He gave your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
