01:
32:16,781 -- 01:32:19,325

Shall a monkey

gibber against me?

452

01:
32:35,383 -- 01:32:38,928

NARRATOR:
Therefore is

ithe name of it called Babel./i

453

01:
32:39,179 -- 01:32:42,681

iThere the Lord/i

iconfounded their language& /i

454

01:
32:42,891 -- 01:32:46,894

i& and scattered them abroad/i

iupon the Earth./i

455

01:
33:27,602 -- 01:33:32,731

iThe Lord waited/i

i10 generations for a man/i

icalled Abram to be born./i

456

01:
33:35,360 -- 01:33:39,196

iHe was born in Ur/i

iof the Chaldees./i

457

01:
33:39,406 -- 01:33:42,574

iAnd when he had/i

icome of an age,/i

ithe Lord said:
/i

458

01:
33:42,909 -- 01:33:45,536

i Get out of thy city/i

iand thy country& /i

459

01:
33:45,745 -- 01:33:48,872

i& from thy kindred/i

iand from thy/i

ifather s house& /i

460

01:
33:48,957 -- 01:33:51,875

i& unto a land/i

ithat I will show thee./i

461

01:
33:53,044 -- 01:33:55,754

iI will make of thee/i

ia great nation& /i

462

01:
33:55,964 -- 01:33:59,925

i& and I will bless thee/i

iand make thy name great. /i

463

01:
34:03,722 -- 01:34:07,391

iSo Abram departed,/i

ias the Lord had spoken/i

iunto him& /i

464

01:
34:07,600 -- 01:34:10,060

i& with Lot,/i

ihis brother s son& /i

465

01:
34:10,270 -- 01:34:13,480

i& and Sarai, his wife,/i

iwhom he loved& /i

466

01:
34:13,732 -- 01:34:16,984

i& and all their substance/i

ithat they gathered& /i

467

01:
34:17,235 -- 01:34:19,570

i& and the souls/i

ithey had gotten& /i

468

01:
34:19,779 -- 01:34:23,615

i& and they journeyed/i

ilike strangers on the Earth./i

469

01:
34:39,466 -- 01:34:43,844

iThey journeyed not knowing/i

iwhither they went./i

470

01:
34:44,095 -- 01:34:48,640

iAnd yet the land/i

ilay before them/i

ias the Lord had promised./i

471

01:
34:48,933 -- 01:34:52,394

iAnd the mornings/i

iand the evenings/i

ipointed the way./i

472

01:
34:52,479 -- 01:34:54,605

Come! Come!

473

01:
34:54,689 -- 01:34:57,191

iGOD:
The hills revealed it./i

474

01:
35:22,509 -- 01:35:25,677

iLift up now thine eyes& /i

475

01:
35:25,887 -- 01:35:29,014

i& and look from the place/i

iwhere thou art& /i

476

01:
35:29,224 -- 01:35:31,975

i& northward and southward& /i

477

01:
35:32,143 -- 01:35:34,645

i& and eastward/i

iand westward& /i

478

01:
35:35,063 -- 01:35:38,315

i& for all the land/i

iwhich thou seest& /i

479

01:
35:38,483 -- 01:35:40,734

i& to thee will I give it& /i

480

01:
35:40,902 -- 01:35:43,779

i& and to thy seed forever./i

481

01:
35:58,920 -- 01:36:02,673

LOT:
Shall we indeed

inherit this country

in peace?

482

01:
36:03,091 -- 01:36:06,427

For the Canaanites

go about the land.

483

01:
36:07,720 -- 01:36:10,681

The understanding of God&

484

01:
36:10,849 -- 01:36:13,392

& is not our understanding.

485

01:
36:14,227 -- 01:36:18,021

And what shall

be brought about

and how it is perfected&

486

01:
36:18,690 -- 01:36:21,692

& is not in

our power to know.

487

01:
36:23,611 -- 01:36:27,197

Only in the promise

of what shall come&

488

01:
36:27,365 -- 01:36:29,366

& can we prosper.

489

01:
36:32,537 -- 01:36:34,371

And in that trust&

490

01:
36:35,373 -- 01:36:37,791

& have we

pitched our tents.

491

01:
37:09,073 -- 01:37:10,574

Wife.

492

01:
37:11,993 -- 01:37:13,410

Abram.

493

01:
37:14,662 -- 01:37:16,663

My husband.

494

01:
37:20,126 -- 01:37:24,421

The sun has gone down.

We have laboured

until evening.

495

01:
37:26,257 -- 01:37:30,636

I bring my love beside you

in the tent&

496

01:
37:31,513 -- 01:37:33,972

& as day answereth day.

497

01:
37:34,766 -- 01:37:39,353

Let my beloved

come into his garden

and eat his pleasant fruits.

498

01:
37:50,031 -- 01:37:51,657

Behold.

499

01:
37:52,659 -- 01:37:55,202

Thou art fair,

my love.

500

01:
38:00,500 -- 01:38:04,294

Behold, thou art fair.

501

01:
38:05,380 -- 01:38:09,841

I have drawn

away from my beauty

as from a stranger&

502

01:
38:10,134 -- 01:38:13,804

& for the years

have gone with the

going down of the sun.

503

01:
38:14,013 -- 01:38:18,684

Your beauty

stands in a sanctuary.

504

01:
38:20,728 -- 01:38:24,231

The enemy falters

in the street&

505

01:
38:24,482 -- 01:38:27,859

& and sheathes his sword

in the marketplace.

506

01:
38:31,030 -- 01:38:32,364

Time&

507

01:
38:34,701 -- 01:38:37,077

& cannot pass the door.

508

01:
38:39,038 -- 01:38:42,666

The strong lock of

the door is love&

509

01:
38:44,669 -- 01:38:46,211

& and the key&

510

01:
38:48,047 -- 01:38:50,340

& is in my hand.

511

01:
38:53,011 -- 01:38:56,763

As the apple tree among

the trees of the wood&

512

01:
38:57,515 -- 01:39:00,726

& so is my beloved

among the sons.

513

01:
39:02,270 -- 01:39:05,522

H is left hand

is under my head&

514

01:
39:05,857 -- 01:39:08,692

& and his right hand

doth embrace me.

515

01:
39:09,027 -- 01:39:11,361

My right arm covers you&

516

01:
39:12,572 -- 01:39:14,865

& as the night

covers the day.

517

01:
39:19,287 -- 01:39:22,164

NARRATOR:
But Sarai,

ihis wife, was barren& /i

518

01:
39:22,540 -- 01:39:24,374

i& and she had no child./i

519

01:
39:28,713 -- 01:39:32,382

iYet was the land before them/i

ias God had promised./i

520

01:
39:32,550 -- 01:39:37,721

iAnd they pitched their tents/i

iin the length and/i

ibreadth of it& /i

521

01:
39:37,930 -- 01:39:43,060

i& from Bethel/i

ito Kadesh and Shur,/i

ieven unto Egypt./i

522

01:
39:52,570 -- 01:39:56,073

iWith Sarai came also/i

iher handmaid& /i

523

01:
39:56,240 -- 01:39:58,784

i& Hagar, the Egyptian./i

524

01:
40:02,163 -- 01:40:05,290

iThey learned the wells/i

iand fertile places& /i

525

01:
40:05,375 -- 01:40:06,625

Five score.

526

01:
40:06,709 -- 01:40:08,877

i& and Abram prospered./i

527

01:
40:09,420 -- 01:40:10,921

Six score.

528

01:
40:14,008 -- 01:40:15,592

Seven score.

529

40:33,194 -- 01:40:34,820

(CROWD YELLS)

530

01:
40:36,823 -- 01:40:39,324

iAnd when they came again/i

iunto Bethel& /i

531

01:
40:39,409 -- 01:40:43,370

i& there was division/i

ibetween the herdsmen/i

iof Abram s cattle& /i

532

01:
40:43,454 -- 01:40:46,206

i& and the herdsmen/i

iof Lot s cattle./i

533

01:
41:00,638 -- 01:41:03,974

Let there be no strife

between thee and me.

534

01:
41:05,476 -- 01:41:10,480

And between thy herdsmen

and my herdsmen,

for we are brethren.

535

01:
41:16,988 -- 01:41:20,407

Our substance is too great

for us to dwell together.

536

01:
41:20,491 -- 01:41:23,660

The land is not able

to bear us together.

537

01:
41:31,502 -- 01:41:34,337

Is not the whole

land before thee?

538

01:
41:35,339 -- 01:41:38,341

Separate thyself,

I pray thee, from me.

539

01:
41:38,676 -- 01:41:41,762

lf thou will go left,

I will go to the right&

540

01:
41:41,846 -- 01:41:45,891

& or if thou go right,

I will go to the left.

541

01:
41:51,105 -- 01:41:54,191

There below us is

the plain of Jordan.

542

01:
41:55,193 -- 01:41:57,402

And that way I will go.

543

01:
41:57,862 -- 01:42:00,864

Toward the cities
