And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.

If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;

So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
