Genesis 21
1 Now God visited Sarah as he had said, and did to Sarah as he had spoken.
And YHWH visited Sarah as he had said, and YHWH did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which Elohim had spoken to him.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as Elohim had commanded him.
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me."
And Sarah said, Elohim hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh 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 would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his 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 Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
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."
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.
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of 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.
And Elohim said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto 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 also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a 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 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 the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 The water in the skin was gone, and she shoved the boy under one of the shrubs.
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
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 went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, 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 Elohim heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of Elohim called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for Elohim hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by your hand. For I will make him a great nation."
Arise, lift up the lad, 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 Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
And Elohim was with the lad; 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 of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land 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 and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, Elohim is with thee in all that thou doest:
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 unto me here by Elohim 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.
24 And Abraham said, "I swear."
And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken 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, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
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 he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
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.
Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of YHWH, El-olam Everlasting El.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
