[1] And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
[1] ---
[2] And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
[2] ---
[3] And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
[3] ---
[4] And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
[4] ---
[5] And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
[5] ---
[6] And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.
[6] ---
[7] And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
[7] ---
[8] And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
[8] ---
[9] And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.
[9] ---
[10] Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son: for the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
[10] ---
[11] And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
[11] ---
[12] And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
[12] ---
[13] And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
[13] ---
[14] And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and gave her the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
[14] ---
[15] And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
[15] ---
[16] And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
[16] ---
[17] And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
[17] ---
[18] Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.
[18] ---
[19] And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
[19] ---
[20] And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
[20] ---
[21] And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
[21] ---
[22] And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
[22] ---
[23] now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
[23] ---
[24] And Abraham said, I will swear.
[24] ---
[25] And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
[25] ---
[26] And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.
[26] ---
[27] And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
[27] ---
[28] And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
[28] ---
[29] And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
[29] ---
[30] And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
[30] ---
[31] Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
[31] ---
[32] So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
[32] ---
[33] And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Everlasting God.
[33] ---
[34] And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
