< Genesis 21 >

1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
The lorde visyted Sara as he had sayde and dyd vnto her acordynge as he had spoken.
2 And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
And Sara was with childe and bare Abraha a sonne in his olde age euen the same season which the LORde had appoynted.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him which Sara bare him Isaac:
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
and Abra circucysed Isaac his sone whe he was. viij. dayes olde as God commaunded him
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
And Abraha was an hundred yere olde when his sonne Isaac was borne vnto him.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.
And Sara sayde: God hath made me a laughinge stocke: for all yt heare will laugh at 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.
She sayde also: who wolde haue sayde vnto Abraham that Sara shulde haue geuen childern sucke or yt I shulde haue borne him a sonne in his olde age:
8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
The childe grewe and was wened and Abraham made a great feast the same daye that Isaac was wened.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.
Sara sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egiptian which she had borne vnto Abraham a mockynge.
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 sayde vnto Abraham: put awaye this bondemayde and hyr sonne: for the sonne of this bondwoman shall not be heyre with my sonne Isaac:
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
But the wordes semed verey greavous in Abrahams syghte because of his sonne.
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 thy seed be called.
Than the LORde sayde vnto Abraham: let it not be greavous vnto the because of the ladd and of thy bondmayde: But in all that Sara hath saide vnto the heare hir voyce for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Moreouer of the sonne of the Bondwoman will I make a nation because he is thy seed.
14 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.
And Abraham rose vp early in the mornyng and toke brede and a bottell with water and gaue it vnto Hagar puttynge it on hir shulders wyth the lad also and sent her awaye. And she departed and wadred vpp and doune in the wyldernes of Berseba.
15 And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
When the water was spent that was in the botell she cast the lad vnder a bush
16 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 look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
and went and satt her out of syghte a great waye as it were a bowshote off: For she sayde: I will not se the lad dye. And she satt doune out of syghte and lyfte vp hyr voyce and wepte.
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 herde the voyce of the childe. And the angell of God called Hagar out of heaven and sayde vnto her: What ayleth the Hagar? Feare not for God hath herde the voyce of the childe where he lyeth.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Aryse and lyfte vp the lad and take hym in thy hande for I will make off him a greate people.
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 hir eyes and she sawe a well of water. And she went and fylled the bottell with water and gaue the boye drynke.
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
And God was wyth the lad and he grewe and dweld in the wildernesse 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 dweld in the wyldernesse of Pharan. And hys mother gott him a wyfe out of the land of Egypte.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
And it chaunced the same season that Abimelech and Phicoll his chefe captayne spake vnto Abraham saynge: God is wyth the in all that thou doist.
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 therfore swere vnto me even here by God that thou wylt not hurt me nor my childern nor my childerns childern. But that thou shalt deale with me and the contre where thou art a straunger acordynge vnto the kyndnesse that I haue shewed the.
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Then sayde Abraham: I wyll swere.
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water which Abimelech servauntes had taken awaye.
26 And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.
And Abimelech answered I wyst not who dyd it: Also thou toldest me not nether herde I of it but this daye.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
And Abraham toke shepe and oxen and gaue them vnto Abimelech. And they made both of them a bonde together.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
And Abraham sett vij. lambes by them selues.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
And Abimelech sayde vnto Abraham: what meane these. vij. lamdes which thou hast sett by them selues.
30 And he said, 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 he answered: vij. lambes shalt thou take of my hande that it maye be a wytnesse vnto me that I haue dygged this well:
31 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
Wherfore the place is called Berseba because they sware both of them.
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.
Thus made they a bonde to gether at Berseba. Than Abimelech and Phicoll his chefe captayne rose vp and turned agayne vnto the lande of the Philistines.
33 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
And Abraham planted a wodd in Berseba and called there on the name of the LORde the everlastynge God:
34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
and dwelt in the Phelistinlade alonge season
