Then we come to the story of Nimrod, King of Babel, the emergence of man's vanity and the heights to which it could aspire if unchecked.

By my maidservant,

and by the love

I bear thee.

681

02:
03:23,980 -- 02:03:28,525

The smell of my son

is like a field which

the Lord has blessed.

682

03:30,403 -- 02:03:35,240

iGOD:
This is my covenant,/i

iwhich ye shall keep/i

685

02:
03:43,416 -- 02:03:47,336

i& as a token of the covenant/i

ibetwixt me and you./i

686

02:
03:54,177 -- 02:03:58,013

Thou hast 24 score and 7

in thy flock.

687

02:
04:03,686 -- 02:04:08,065

By each pebble I know you

as good servants.

688

02:
04:08,733 -- 02:04:13,529

You are blessed among us

and are indeed our blessing.

689

02:
04:21,371 -- 02:04:22,788

My lord.

690

02:
04:29,045 -- 02:04:32,047

Behold. Thy son, Ishmael,

hath seven years.

691

02:
04:32,549 -- 02:04:34,550

Give him thy blessing,

I pray&

692

02:
04:35,051 -- 02:04:39,263

& that he may live

before God as

the first of thy flesh,

693

02:
04:39,347 -- 02:04:40,889

and thy only son.

694

02:
04:42,559 -- 02:04:46,895

Yet have I told thee

how it stands between

me and Ishmael.

695

02:
04:47,105 -- 02:04:50,065

For God hath said

He will bless Sarah

696

02:
04:50,150 -- 02:04:52,276

and give me a son also&

697

02:
04:52,569 -- 02:04:53,902

& of her.

698

02:
04:54,904 -- 02:04:59,825

Wilt thou indeed believe

what cannot come to pass?

699

02:
05:00,326 -- 02:05:04,079

The years have

gone by and the promise

is not fulfilled.

700

02:
05:04,247 -- 02:05:05,914

With Sarah, thy wife&

701

02:
05:06,332 -- 02:05:09,459

& the time of

childbearing is over.

702

02:
05:10,420 -- 02:05:13,422

Give Ishmael, therefore,

thy blessing.

703

02:
05:13,923 -- 02:05:16,758

Thou can hope for no other.

704

02:
05:19,929 -- 02:05:24,766

Shall the Lord speak

and Abraham not believe?

705

02:
05:24,934 -- 02:05:30,772

What is faith if it say,

This thing cannot be ?

706

02:
05:33,776 -- 02:05:36,028

And as for Ishmael&

707

02:
05:36,821 -- 02:05:38,864

& God has said

Behold&

708

02:
05:39,115 -- 02:05:42,451

& I have blessed him

and will make him fruitful.

709

02:
05:42,785 -- 02:05:45,704

But my covenant

will I establish

with Isaac&

710

02:
05:45,955 -- 02:05:49,166

& which Sarah

shall bear unto thee.

711

02:
05:51,127 -- 02:05:54,171

And so I wait

upon his will&

712

02:
05:57,300 -- 02:05:59,551

& even beyond the time.

713

02:
06:01,137 -- 02:06:04,556

NARRATOR:
And Abraham waited

iupon the will of God./i

714

02:
06:04,891 -- 02:06:10,312

iAnd God was silent,/i

ias one who searches/i

ithe strength of a man./i

715

02:
06:10,980 -- 02:06:14,858

iThree years passed/i

iand two more added& /i

716

02:
06:15,068 -- 02:06:18,487

i& and Sarah and/i

iAbraham grew old./i

717

02:
07:11,457 -- 02:07:13,041

My Lord&

718

02:
07:16,713 -- 02:07:20,382

& if now I have found

favour in thy sight&

719

02:
07:20,508 -- 02:07:22,843

& pass not away

from thy servant.

720

02:
07:25,054 -- 02:07:27,723

We go down

towards the city&

721

02:
07:29,475 -- 02:07:31,268

& toward Sodom&

722

02:
07:32,603 -- 02:07:37,566

& where Lot,

thy brother s son, sits in

the gate of the city.

723

02:
07:45,158 -- 02:07:47,659

Rest yourselves,

I pray thee&

724

02:
07:48,244 -- 02:07:50,078

& under the tree.

725

02:
07:55,668 -- 02:07:59,588

And comfort ye your hearts.

726

02:
08:27,533 -- 02:08:29,951

Where is Sarah, thy wife?

727

02:
08:34,957 -- 02:08:37,042

Behold, in the tent.

728

02:
08:47,804 -- 02:08:52,474

I will certainly

return unto thee, and lo&

729

02:
08:53,643 -- 02:08:57,020

& Sarah, thy wife,

shall have a son.
