1
And the LORD[H3068]visited[H6485]Sarah[H8283] as he had said[H559], and the LORD[H3068]did[H6213] unto Sarah[H8283] as he had spoken[H1696].
2
For Sarah[H8283]conceived[H2029], and bare[H3205]Abraham[H85] a son[H1121] in his old age[H2208], at the set time[H4150] of which God[H430] had spoken[H1696] to him.
3
And Abraham[H85]called[H7121] the name[H8034] of his son[H1121] that was born[H3205] unto him, whom Sarah[H8283]bare[H3205] to him, Isaac[H3327].
4
And Abraham[H85]circumcised[H4135] his son[H1121]Isaac[H3327] being eight[H8083]days[H3117]old[H1121], as God[H430] had commanded[H6680] him.
5
And Abraham[H85] was an hundred[H3967]years[H8141]old[H1121], when his son[H1121]Isaac[H3327] was born[H3205] unto him.
6
And Sarah[H8283]said[H559], God[H430] hath made[H6213] me to laugh[H6712], so that all that hear[H8085] will laugh[H6711] with me.
7
And she said[H559], Who would have said[H4448] unto Abraham[H85], that Sarah[H8283] should have given children[H1121]suck?[H3243] for I have born[H3205] him a son[H1121] in his old age[H2208].
8
And the child[H3206]grew[H1431], and was weaned[H1580]: and Abraham[H85]made[H6213] a great[H1419]feast[H4960] the same day[H3117] that Isaac[H3327] was weaned[H1580].
9
And Sarah[H8283]saw[H7200] the son[H1121] of Hagar[H1904] the Egyptian[H4713], which she had born[H3205] unto Abraham[H85], mocking[H6711].
10
Wherefore she said[H559] unto Abraham[H85], Cast out[H1644] this bondwoman[H519] and her son[H1121]: for the son[H1121] of this bondwoman[H519] shall not be heir[H3423] with my son[H1121], even with Isaac[H3327].
11
And the thing[H1697] was very[H3966]grievous[H3415] in Abraham's sight[H5869]because[H182] of his son[H1121].
12
And God[H430]said[H559] unto Abraham[H85], Let it not be grievous[H3415] in thy sight[H5869] because of the lad[H5288], and because of thy bondwoman[H519]; in all that Sarah[H8283] hath said[H559] unto thee, hearken[H8085] unto her voice[H6963]; for in Isaac[H3327] shall thy seed[H2233] be called[H7121].
13
And also of the son[H1121] of the bondwoman[H519] will I make[H7760] a nation[H1471], because he is thy seed[H2233].
14
And Abraham[H85] rose up early[H7925] in the morning[H1242], and took[H3947]bread[H3899], and a bottle[H2573] of water[H4325], and gave[H5414] it unto Hagar[H1904], putting[H7760] it on her shoulder[H7926], and the child[H3206], and sent her away[H7971]: and she departed[H3212], and wandered[H8582] in the wilderness[H4057] of Beersheba[H884].
15
And the water[H4325] was spent[H3615]in[H4480] the bottle[H2573], and she cast[H7993] the child[H3206] under one[H259] of the shrubs[H7880].
16
And she went[H3212], and sat[H3427] her down[H3427] over against[H5048] him a good way off[H7368], as it were a bowshot[H2909]: for she said[H559], Let me not see[H7200] the death[H4194] of the child[H3206]. And she sat[H3427] over against[H5048] him, and lift up[H5375] her voice[H6963], and wept[H1058].
17
And God[H430]heard[H8085] the voice[H6963] of the lad[H5288]; and the angel[H4397] of God[H430]called[H7121] to Hagar[H1904] out of heaven[H8064], and said[H559] unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar?[H1904]fear[H3372] not; for God[H430] hath heard[H8085] the voice[H6963] of the lad[H5288] where he is.
18Arise[H6965], lift up[H5375] the lad[H5288], and hold[H2388] him in thine hand[H3027]; for I will make[H7760] him a great[H1419]nation[H1471].
19
And God[H430]opened[H6491] her eyes[H5869], and she saw[H7200] a well[H875] of water[H4325]; and she went[H3212], and filled[H4390] the bottle[H2573] with water[H4325], and gave[H8248] the lad[H5288]drink[H8248].
20
And God[H430] was with the lad[H5288]; and he grew[H1431], and dwelt[H3427] in the wilderness[H4057], and became an archer[H7235].
21
And he dwelt[H3427] in the wilderness[H4057] of Paran[H6290]: and his mother[H517]took[H3947] him a wife[H802] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
22
And it came to pass at that time[H6256], that Abimelech[H40] and Phichol[H6369] the chief captain[H8269] of his host[H6635]spake[H559] unto Abraham[H85], saying[H559], God[H430] is with thee in all that thou doest[H6213]:
23
Now therefore swear[H7650] unto me here[H2008] by God[H430] that thou wilt not deal falsely[H8266] with me, nor with my son[H5209], nor with my son[H5220]'s son[H5220]: but according to the kindness[H2617] that I have done[H6213] unto thee, thou shalt do[H6213] unto me, and to the land[H776] wherein thou hast sojourned[H1481].
24
And Abraham[H85]said[H559], I will swear[H7650].
25
And Abraham[H85]reproved[H3198]Abimelech[H40]because[H182] of a well[H875] of water[H4325], which Abimelech[H40]'s servants[H5650] had violently taken away[H1497].
26
And Abimelech[H40]said[H559], I wot[H3045] not who hath done[H6213] this thing[H1697]: neither[H3808] didst thou tell[H5046] me, neither[H3808] yet heard[H8085] I of it, but[H1115] to day[H3117].
27
And Abraham[H85]took[H3947]sheep[H6629] and oxen[H1241], and gave[H5414]them[H8147] unto Abimelech[H40]; and both of them[H8147]made[H3772] a covenant[H1285].
28
And Abraham[H85]set[H5324]seven[H7651] ewe lambs[H3535] of the flock[H6629] by themselves.
29
And Abimelech[H40]said[H559] unto Abraham[H85], What[H2008] mean these seven[H7651] ewe lambs[H3535] which thou hast set[H5324] by themselves?
30
And he said[H559], For these seven[H7651] ewe lambs[H3535] shalt thou take[H3947] of my hand[H3027], that[H5668] they may be a witness[H5713] unto me, that[H5668] I have digged[H2658] this well[H875].
31
Wherefore he called[H7121] that place[H4725]Beersheba[H884]; because there they sware[H7650] both of them[H8147].
32
Thus they made[H3772] a covenant[H1285] at Beersheba[H884]: then Abimelech[H40] rose up[H6965], and Phichol[H6369] the chief captain[H8269] of his host[H6635], and they returned[H7725] into the land[H776] of the Philistines[H6430].
33
And Abraham planted[H5193] a grove[H815] in Beersheba[H884], and called[H7121] there on the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068], the everlasting[H5769]God[H410].
34
And Abraham[H85]sojourned[H1481] in the Philistines[H6430]' land[H776]many[H7227]days[H3117].
