Genesis 21
1 And the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke.
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2 And she conceived and bore to Abraam a son in old age, at the set time according as the Lord spoke to him.
For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 And Abraam circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as God commanded him.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.
And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear will laugh with me.
7 And she said, Who shall say to Abraam that Sarrha suckles a child? for I have born a child in my old age.
And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
8 And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his son Isaac was weaned.
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting with Isaac her son,
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
10 then she said to Abraam, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit with my son Isaac.
Wherefore, she said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman, and her son: for the son of this bond-woman shall not be heir with my son, [even] with Isaac.
11 But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son.
12 But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before you concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatever Sarrha shall say to you, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall your seed be called.
And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond-woman; in all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is your seed.
And also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy seed.
14 And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gave [them] to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departed wandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath.
And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave [it] to Hagar (putting [it] on her shoulder) and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree.
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I can’t see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloud and wept.
And she went, and sat her down over against [him], a good way off, as it were a bow-shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and raised her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of God called Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice of the child from the place where he is.
And God heard the voice of the lad: and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he [is].
18 Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in your hand, for I will make him a great nation.
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand: for I will make him a great nation.
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the child drink.
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.
20 And God was with the child, and he grew and lived in the wilderness, and became an archer.
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 And he lived in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with you in all things, whatever you may do.
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
23 Now therefore swear to me by God that you will not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with you you shall deal with me, and with the land in which you have sojourned.
Now therefore swear to 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 to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou hast sojourned.
24 And Abraam said, I will swear.
And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 And Abraam reproved Abimelech because of the wells of water, which the servants of Abimelech took away.
And Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
26 And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to you, neither did you tell it me, neither heard I it but only today.
And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet have I heard [of it], but to-day.
27 And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a covenant.
28 And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves.
And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which you have set alone?
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?
30 And Abraam said, You shall receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for me as a witness, that I dug this well.
And he said, For [these] seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have digged this well.
31 Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore.
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba: because there they swore both of them.
32 And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines.
Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: Then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 And Abraam planted a field at the well of the oath, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
34 And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days.
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
