< Genesis 21 >
1 And Yahweh he visited Sarah just as he had said and he did Yahweh to Sarah just as he had spoken.
Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
2 And she conceived and she bore Sarah to Abraham a son of old age his to the appointed time which he had spoken with him God.
So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
3 And he called Abraham [the] name of son his who had been born to him whom she had borne to him Sarah Isaac.
And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
4 And he circumcised Abraham Isaac son his a son of eight days just as he had commanded him God.
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraham [was] a son of one hundred year[s] when was born to him Isaac son his.
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 And she said Sarah laughter he has made for me God everyone who hears he will laugh to me.
Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
7 And she said who? has he said to Abraham she has suckled children Sarah for I have borne a son of old age his.
She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8 And he grew up the child and he was weaned and he prepared Abraham a feast great on [the] day was weaned Isaac.
So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
9 And she saw Sarah [the] son of Hagar the Egyptian whom she had borne to Abraham mocking.
But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
10 And she said to Abraham drive out the slave woman this and son her for not he will inherit [the] son of the slave woman this with son my with Isaac.
and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”
11 And it was displeasing the matter exceedingly in [the] eyes of Abraham on [the] causes of son his.
Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
12 And he said God to Abraham may not it be displeasing in view your on the lad and on slave woman your all that she says to you Sarah listen to voice her for in Isaac it will be named of you offspring.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.
13 And also [the] son of the slave woman into a nation I will make him for [is] offspring your he.
But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
14 And he rose early Abraham - in the morning and he took food and a skin of water and he gave [them] to Hagar placing on shoulder her and the boy and he sent away her and she went and she wandered in [the] wilderness of Beer Sheba.
Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And they were finished the water from the skin and she threw the boy under one of the bushes.
When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
16 And she went and she sat for herself from before at a distance like [the] shooters of a bow for she said may not I look on [the] death of the boy and she sat from before and she lifted up voice her and she wept.
Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.
17 And he heard God [the] sound of the lad and he called [the] angel of God - to Hagar from the heavens and he said to her what? [is] to you O Hagar may not you be afraid for he has heard God [the] sound of the lad at where he [is] there.
Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.
18 Arise lift up the lad and take hold hand your on him for into a nation great I will make him.
Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
19 And he opened God eyes her and she saw a well of water and she went and she filled the skin water and she gave a drink to the lad.
Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 And he was God with the lad and he grew up and he dwelt in the wilderness and he was a shooter a bowman.
And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
21 And he dwelt in [the] wilderness of Paran and she took for him mother his a wife from [the] land of Egypt.
And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 And it was at the time that and he said Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his to Abraham saying God [is] with you in all that you [are] doing.
At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 And therefore swear! to me by God here if you will deal falsely to me and to posterity my and to progeny my according to the loyalty which I have done with you you will do with me and with the land which you have sojourned in it.
Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
24 And he said Abraham I I will swear.
And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
25 And he rebuked Abraham Abimelech on [the] causes of [the] well of water which they had seized [the] servants of Abimelech.
But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
26 And he said Abimelech not I know who? has he done the thing this and also you not you told to me and also I not I heard except this day.
Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”
27 And he took Abraham sheep and cattle and he gave [them] to Abimelech and they made [the] two of them a covenant.
So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28 And he set Abraham seven ewe-lambs of the flock to alone them.
Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29 And he said Abimelech to Abraham what? [are] they seven ewe-lambs these which you have set to alone them.
and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
30 And he said that seven ewe-lambs you will take from hand my in order that it may become for me a witness for I dug the well this.
He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
31 There-fore he called the place that Beer Sheba for there they swore an oath [the] two of them.
So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32 And they made a covenant at Beer Sheba and he arose Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his and they returned to [the] land of [the] Philistines.
After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 And he planted a tamarisk tree in Beer Sheba and he called there on [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of perpetuity.
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
34 And he sojourned Abraham in [the] land of [the] Philistines days many.
And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
