Genesis 21
1 And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;
Nowe the Lord visited Sarah, as he had saide, and did vnto her according as he had promised.
2 and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
For Sarah conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, at the same season that God tolde him.
3 and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;
And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him, which Sarah bare him, Izhak.
4 and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
Then Abraham circumcised Izhak his sonne, when he was eight dayes olde, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
So Abraham was an hundreth yeere olde, when his sonne Izhak was borne vnto him.
6 and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'
Then Sarah said, God hath made me to reioyce: all that heare will reioyce with me.
7 She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for 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 And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
Then the childe grewe and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Izhak was weaned.
9 and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,
And Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto Abraham) mocking.
10 and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with 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 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.
12 and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
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 As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'
As for the sonne of the bond woman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seede.
14 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
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 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
And when the water of the bottell was spent, she cast the childe vnder a certaine tree.
16 And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
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 heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth 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 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
Arise, take vp the childe, and holde him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people.
19 And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to 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 and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
So God was with the childe, and he grewe and dwelt in the wildernesse, and was an archer.
21 and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife 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 And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
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 and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
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 saith, 'I — I do swear.'
Then Abraham said, I will sweare.
25 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,
And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken away.
26 and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
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 And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant.
28 and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues.
29 And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues?
30 And he saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged 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 hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both sware.
32 And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto 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] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
And Abraham planted a groue in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of ye Lord, the euerlasting God.
34 and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
And Abraham was a stranger in the Philistims land a long season.
