< Genesis 21 >
1 Nowe the Lord visited Sarah, as he had saide, and did vnto her according as he had promised.
And Yahweh he visited Sarah just as he had said and he did Yahweh to Sarah just as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, at the same season that God tolde him.
And she conceived and she bore Sarah to Abraham a son of old age his to the appointed time which he had spoken with him God.
3 And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him, which Sarah bare him, Izhak.
And he called Abraham [the] name of son his who had been born to him whom she had borne to him Sarah Isaac.
4 Then Abraham circumcised Izhak his sonne, when he was eight dayes olde, as God had commanded him.
And he circumcised Abraham Isaac son his a son of eight days just as he had commanded him God.
5 So Abraham was an hundreth yeere olde, when his sonne Izhak was borne vnto him.
And Abraham [was] a son of one hundred year[s] when was born to him Isaac son his.
6 Then Sarah said, God hath made me to reioyce: all that heare will reioyce with me.
And she said Sarah laughter he has made for me God everyone who hears he will laugh to me.
7 Againe she said, Who would haue saide to Abraham, that Sarah shoulde haue giuen children sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in his olde age.
And she said who? has he said to Abraham she has suckled children Sarah for I have borne a son of old age his.
8 Then the childe grewe and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Izhak was weaned.
And he grew up the child and he was weaned and he prepared Abraham a feast great on [the] day was weaned Isaac.
9 And Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto Abraham) mocking.
And she saw Sarah [the] son of Hagar the Egyptian whom she had borne to Abraham mocking.
10 Wherefore she saide vnto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman and her sonne: for ye sonne of this bonde woman shall not be heire with my sonne Izhak.
And she said to Abraham drive out the slave woman this and son her for not he will inherit [the] son of the slave woman this with son my with Isaac.
11 And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.
And it was displeasing the matter exceedingly in [the] eyes of Abraham on [the] causes of son his.
12 But God said vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight for the childe, and for thy bonde woman: in all that Sarah shall say vnto thee, heare her voyce: for in Izhak shall thy seede be called.
And he said God to Abraham may not it be displeasing in view your on the lad and on slave woman your all that she says to you Sarah listen to voice her for in Isaac it will be named of you offspring.
13 As for the sonne of the bond woman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seede.
And also [the] son of the slave woman into a nation I will make him for [is] offspring your he.
14 So Abraham arose vp early in ye morning, and tooke bread, and a bottell of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the childe also, and sent her away: who departing wandred in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba.
And he rose early Abraham - in the morning and he took food and a skin of water and he gave [them] to Hagar placing on shoulder her and the boy and he sent away her and she went and she wandered in [the] wilderness of Beer Sheba.
15 And when the water of the bottell was spent, she cast the childe vnder a certaine tree.
And they were finished the water from the skin and she threw the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Then she went and sate her ouer against him a farre off about a bowe shoote: for she said, I will not see the death of the child. and she sate downe ouer against him, and lift vp her voyce and wept.
And she went and she sat for herself from before at a distance like [the] shooters of a bow for she said may not I look on [the] death of the boy and she sat from before and she lifted up voice her and she wept.
17 Then God heard the voyce of ye childe, and the Angel of God called to Hagar from heauen, and said vnto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? feare not, for God hath heard the voyce of the childe where he is.
And he heard God [the] sound of the lad and he called [the] angel of God - to Hagar from the heavens and he said to her what? [is] to you O Hagar may not you be afraid for he has heard God [the] sound of the lad at where he [is] there.
18 Arise, take vp the childe, and holde him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people.
Arise lift up the lad and take hold hand your on him for into a nation great I will make him.
19 And God opened her eyes, and she sawe a well of water. so she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the boy drinke.
And he opened God eyes her and she saw a well of water and she went and she filled the skin water and she gave a drink to the lad.
20 So God was with the childe, and he grewe and dwelt in the wildernesse, and was an archer.
And he was God with the lad and he grew up and he dwelt in the wilderness and he was a shooter a bowman.
21 And he dwelt in the wildernesse of Paran, and his mother tooke him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
And he dwelt in [the] wilderness of Paran and she took for him mother his a wife from [the] land of Egypt.
22 And at that same time Abimelech and Phichol his chief captaine spake vnto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
And it was at the time that and he said Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his to Abraham saying God [is] with you in all that you [are] doing.
23 Nowe therefore sweare vnto me here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my children, nor my childrens children: thou shalt deale with me, and with the countrey, where thou hast bene a stranger, according vnto the kindnesse that I haue shewed thee.
And therefore swear! to me by God here if you will deal falsely to me and to posterity my and to progeny my according to the loyalty which I have done with you you will do with me and with the land which you have sojourned in it.
24 Then Abraham said, I will sweare.
And he said Abraham I I will swear.
25 And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken away.
And he rebuked Abraham Abimelech on [the] causes of [the] well of water which they had seized [the] servants of Abimelech.
26 And Abimelech saide, I knowe not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it but this day.
And he said Abimelech not I know who? has he done the thing this and also you not you told to me and also I not I heard except this day.
27 Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant.
And he took Abraham sheep and cattle and he gave [them] to Abimelech and they made [the] two of them a covenant.
28 And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues.
And he set Abraham seven ewe-lambs of the flock to alone them.
29 Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues?
And he said Abimelech to Abraham what? [are] they seven ewe-lambs these which you have set to alone them.
30 And he answered, Because thou shalt receiue of mine hand these seuen lambes, that it may be a witnes vnto me, that I haue digged this well.
And he said that seven ewe-lambs you will take from hand my in order that it may become for me a witness for I dug the well this.
31 Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both sware.
There-fore he called the place that Beer Sheba for there they swore an oath [the] two of them.
32 Thus made they a couenant at Beer-sheba: afterward Abimelech and Phichol his chiefe captaine rose vp, and turned againe vnto the land of the Philistims.
And they made a covenant at Beer Sheba and he arose Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his and they returned to [the] land of [the] Philistines.
33 And Abraham planted a groue in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of ye Lord, the euerlasting God.
And he planted a tamarisk tree in Beer Sheba and he called there on [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of perpetuity.
34 And Abraham was a stranger in the Philistims land a long season.
And he sojourned Abraham in [the] land of [the] Philistines days many.
