Genesis 21
1 Now God visited Sarah as he had said, and did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Nowe the Lord visited Sarah, as he had saide, and did vnto her according as he had promised.
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 conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, at the same season that God tolde him.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him, which Sarah bare him, Izhak.
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Then Abraham circumcised Izhak his sonne, when he was eight dayes olde, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
So Abraham was an hundreth yeere olde, when his sonne Izhak was borne vnto him.
6 Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me."
Then Sarah said, God hath made me to reioyce: all that heare will reioyce 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."
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.
8 The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Then the childe grewe and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Izhak was weaned.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
And Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto 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 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.
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.
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 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.
13 And I will also make a great nation of the son of the slave woman, because he is your offspring."
As for the sonne of the bond woman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seede.
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.
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.
15 The water in the skin was gone, and she shoved the boy under one of the shrubs.
And when the water of the bottell was spent, she cast the childe vnder a certaine 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.
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.
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.
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.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by your hand. For I will make him a great nation."
Arise, take vp the childe, and holde him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people.
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 sawe a well of water. so she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the boy drinke.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
So God was with the childe, and he grewe and dwelt in the wildernesse, and was 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 wildernesse of Paran, and his mother tooke 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 at that same time Abimelech and Phichol his chief captaine spake vnto Abraham, saying, God 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."
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.
24 And Abraham said, "I swear."
Then Abraham said, I will sweare.
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants 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 saide, I knowe not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it but this day.
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues?
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 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.
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.
Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both sware.
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 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.
33 And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of YHWH, the Everlasting God.
And Abraham planted a groue in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of ye Lord, the euerlasting God.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
And Abraham was a stranger in the Philistims land a long season.
