Genesis A, lines 2881–2936

"Rincas mine, restað incit
her on þissum wicum. Wit eft cumað,

gastcyninge agifen habbað."
Gewat him þa se æðeling and his agen sunu
to þæs gemearces þe him metod tæhte,
wadan ofer wealdas. Wudu bær sunu,
fæder fyr and sweord. ða þæs fricgean ongann

"Wit her fyr and sweord, frea min, habbað;
hwær is þæt tiber, þæt þu torht gode
to þam brynegielde bringan þencest?"
Abraham maðelode (hæfde on an gehogod
þæt he gedæde swa hine drihten het):
"Him þæt soðcyning sylfa findeð,

Gestah þa stiðhydig steape dune

þæt he on hrofe gestod hean landes
on þære stowe þe him se stranga to,

Ongan þa ad hladan, æled weccan,

"Abraham leofa, ne sleah þin agen bearn,
ac þu cwicne abregd cniht of ade,

Abrægd þa mid þy bille, brynegield onhread,
