Genesis 21
1 And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as he had spoken.
And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;
2 And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
5 And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
6 And Sarah said, God has made me laugh: all that hear will laugh with me.
and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'
7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne [him] a son in his old age.
She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'
8 And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,
10 And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son — with Isaac.
and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
12 And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: [in] all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
13 But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave [it] to Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder — and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
15 And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
16 and she went and sat down over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lifted up her voice and wept.
And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What [aileth] thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.
And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
18 Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.
And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
23 And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest.
and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,
26 And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me [of it], neither have I heard [of it] but to-day.
and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?
And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
30 And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.
And he saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'
31 Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.
therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
32 And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.
And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;
33 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal God.
and [Abraham] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
