Genesis 21
1 Now God visited Sarah as he had said, and did to Sarah as he had spoken.
And the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke.
2 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 Abraham called his son who was born to 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 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 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.
6 Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me."
And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me.
7 She said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? 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 The child grew, and was weaned. 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 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting with Isaac her son,
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, 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 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 God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your slave woman. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your descendants be called.
But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before thee concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatsoever Sarrha shall say to thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 And I will also make a great nation of the son of the slave woman, because he is your offspring."
And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took food and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
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 The water in the skin was gone, and she shoved the boy under one of the shrubs.
And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree.
16 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, "Do not let me see the death of the boy." So she sat across from him, and he wept loudly.
And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I cannot 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 boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from the sky and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy 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 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by your hand. For I will make him a great nation."
Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in thine hand, for I will make him a great nation.
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a 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 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
And God was with the child, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
And he dwelt in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt.
22 It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.
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 thee in all things, whatsoever thou mayest do.
23 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner."
Now therefore swear to me by God that thou wilt not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with thee thou shalt deal with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.
24 And Abraham said, "I swear."
And Abraam said, I will swear.
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, 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 Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today."
And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to thee, neither didst thou tell it me, neither heard I it but only to-day.
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set alone?
30 He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well."
And Abraam said, Thou shalt receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for me as a witness, that I dug this well.
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.
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 Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the commander of his army, 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 Beersheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, 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 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days.
