Genesis 21
1 And the LORD remembered Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.
And the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke.
2 And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
And she conceived and bore to Abraam a son in old age, at the set time according as the Lord spoke to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
And Abraam circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as God commanded him.
5 And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.
6 And Sarah said: 'God hath made laughter for me; every one that heareth will laugh on account of me.'
And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me.
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.'
And she said, Who shall say to Abraam that Sarrha suckles a child? for I have born a child in my 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 child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his son Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport.
And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting with Isaac her son,
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham: 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.'
then she said to Abraam, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit with my son Isaac.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son.
12 And God said unto Abraham: 'Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall seed be called to thee.
But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before you concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatever Sarrha shall say to you, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall your seed be called.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.'
And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is your seed.
14 And Abraham arose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and strayed in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gave [them] to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departed wandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath.
15 And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow-shot; 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.
And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I can’t see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloud and wept.
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.
And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of God called Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice of the child from the place where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast by thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.'
Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in your hand, for I will make him a great nation.
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.
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the child drink.
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
And God was with the child, and he grew and lived in the wilderness, and became 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 lived in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spoke unto Abraham, saying: 'God is with thee in all that thou doest.
And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with you in all things, whatever you may do.
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.'
Now therefore swear to me by God that you will not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with you you shall deal with me, and with the land in which you have sojourned.
24 And Abraham said: 'I will swear.'
And Abraam said, I will swear.
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
And Abraam reproved Abimelech because of the wells of water, which the servants of Abimelech took away.
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.'
And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to you, neither did you tell it me, neither heard I it but only today.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What mean these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which you have set alone?
30 And he said: 'Verily, these seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.'
And Abraam said, You shall receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for me as a witness, that I dug this well.
31 Wherefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there they swore both of them.
Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore.
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.
And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines.
33 And Abraham planted a tamarisk-tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
And Abraam planted a field at the well of the oath, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days.
