30:37,237 -- 02:30:41,532

These are the generations

of which I am made&

853

prepared an ark&

30:46,121 -- 02:30:49,123

& to the saving

of this house.

855

i& and offer him there/i

ifor a burnt offering./i

881

02:
33:39,127 -- 02:33:43,547

Wouldst thou I do

even as the Canaanites&

882

02:
33:43,673 -- 02:33:47,467

& who lay their first-born

on fires before idols?

883

02:
33:51,139 -- 02:33:55,100

Art thou truly

the Lord, my God?

884

02:
33:57,395 -- 02:33:59,938

iThou knowest./i

885

02:
34:09,157 -- 02:34:10,574

No!

886

02:
34:57,038 -- 02:34:59,456

Thou wilt not&

887

02:
35:00,083 -- 02:35:03,001

& ask this thing of me!

888

02:
35:32,407 -- 02:35:33,991

Isaac&

889

02:
35:35,910 -- 02:35:38,328

& take leave

of thy mother.

890

02:
35:46,462 -- 02:35:50,132

Mother, I am

going on a journey.

891

02:
35:52,093 -- 02:35:53,719

A journey?

892

02:
35:53,928 -- 02:35:56,596

We are going on a journey

of three days.

893

02:
35:56,848 -- 02:35:58,765

I am going

with my father.

894

02:
35:58,850 -- 02:36:00,726

What does thou tell me?

895

02:
36:00,935 -- 02:36:04,563

A journey unto

the land of Moriah!

896

02:
36:05,106 -- 02:36:07,899

Unto Moriah?

Why unto Moriah?

897

02:
36:08,109 -- 02:36:12,696

God hath commanded

that we go there

to sacrifice unto him.

898

02:
36:12,905 -- 02:36:15,657

Six days must

I wait for thee?

899

02:
36:15,867 -- 02:36:18,201

Mother, it is a little time.

900

02:
36:19,245 -- 02:36:23,040

I have waited for thee

until I was old.

901

02:
36:23,249 -- 02:36:26,168

The days are

precious to me.

902

02:
36:31,215 -- 02:36:33,842

Isaac, Isaac&

903

02:
36:40,933 -- 02:36:43,894

What should I fear&

904

02:
36:46,230 -- 02:36:49,983

& if thou goest

with thy father?

905

02:
37:22,100 -- 02:37:23,517

Father&

906

02:
37:24,685 -- 02:37:26,937

& this was a city?

907

02:
37:29,190 -- 02:37:33,026

The city of Sodom.

908

02:
37:34,570 -- 02:37:38,657

Lot sat here in this gate.

909

02:
37:38,908 -- 02:37:40,492

And here&

910

02:
37:41,911 -- 02:37:45,205

& came the two angels

to him.

911

02:
37:57,760 -- 02:38:03,557

He overthrew these cities

and all the plain&

912

02:
38:03,766 -- 02:38:07,102

& and all the inhabitants

of the cities&

913

02:
38:07,311 -- 02:38:11,022

& and that which grew

upon the face of the ground.

914

02:
38:11,274 -- 02:38:13,692

All the inhabitants?

915

02:
38:25,246 -- 02:38:30,041

And lo, the smoke

of the country went up&

916

02:
38:30,918 -- 02:38:33,545

& as the smoke

of a furnace.

917

02:
38:35,256 -- 02:38:39,968

The Lord, our God,

must be obeyed.

918

02:
38:41,762 -- 02:38:44,723

All the inhabitants

of the cities?

919

02:
38:46,017 -- 02:38:48,226

The children also?

920

02:
38:49,145 -- 02:38:51,938

Were the children

also wicked?

921

02:
39:38,277 -- 02:39:39,778

Father?

922

02:
39:57,922 -- 02:40:01,758

Shall not the judge

of all the Earth&

923

02:
40:02,260 -- 02:40:03,677

& do right?

924

02:
40:09,475 -- 02:40:12,811

Call the nobles

to the kingdom!

925

02:
40:16,941 -- 02:40:19,359

None are here.

926

02:
40:20,611 -- 02:40:24,322

All the princes are nothing!

927

02:
40:27,159 -- 02:40:28,243

Father!

928

02:
40:28,452 -- 02:40:32,914

All the princes are nothing!

929

02:
40:33,165 -- 02:40:36,418

The thorns have come up

in the palace.

930

02:
40:38,170 -- 02:40:42,424

From generation

to generation it will lie&

931

02:
40:43,134 -- 02:40:45,802

& waste.

932

02:
40:46,178 -- 02:40:51,141

Ye shall stretch out upon it

the line of confusion.

933

02:
41:04,947 -- 02:41:09,743

Has it not been told

from the beginning,

God is He that sitteth&

934

02:
41:09,869 -- 02:41:12,287

& upon the circle

of the Earth&
