Chapter 21

¹ And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.
² And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.
³ And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.
⁴ And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,
⁵ When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.
⁶ And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me.
⁷ And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age.
⁸ And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
⁹ And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:
¹⁰ Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.
¹¹ Abraham took this grievously for his son.
¹² And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
¹³ But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
¹⁴ So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.
¹⁵ And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.
¹⁶ And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.
¹⁷ And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
¹⁸ Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
¹⁹ And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.
²⁰ And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.
²¹ And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
²² At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.
²³ Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.
²⁴ And Abraham said: I will swear.
²⁵ And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
²⁶ And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till to day.
²⁷ And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.
²⁸ And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
²⁹ And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?
³⁰ But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.
³¹ Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because both of them did swear.
³² And they made a league for the well of oath.
³³ And Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.
³⁴ And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.

Chapter 21

¹ And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
² 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 Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
⁴ And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
⁵ And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
⁶ And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
⁷ 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 Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned.
⁹ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
¹⁰ 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 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son.
¹² 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 also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
¹⁴ 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 was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
¹⁶ 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 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 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 water: and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
²⁰ And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
²¹ 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, 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 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 Abraham said, I will swear.
²⁵ And Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
²⁶ 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 Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a covenant.
²⁸ And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
²⁹ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What mean these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?
³⁰ 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 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba: because there they swore both of them.
³² 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 Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
³⁴ And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.

Chapter 21

¹ And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.
² And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.
³ And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.
⁴ And when his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham made him undergo circumcision, as God had said to him.
⁵ Now Abraham was a hundred years old when the birth of Isaac took place.
⁶ And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.
⁷ And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would have a child at her breast? for see, I have given him a son now when he is old.
⁸ And when the child was old enough to be taken from the breast, Abraham made a great feast.
⁹ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.
¹⁰ So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.
¹¹ And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.
¹² But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name.
¹³ And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.
¹⁴ And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba.
¹⁵ And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.
¹⁶ And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.
¹⁷ And the boy's cry came to the ears of God; and the angel of God said to Hagar from heaven, Hagar, why are you weeping? have no fear, for the child's cry has come to the ears of God.
¹⁸ Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a great nation.
¹⁹ Then God made her eyes open, and she saw a water-spring, and she got water in the skin and gave the boy a drink.
²⁰ And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.
²¹ And while he was in the waste land of Paran, his mother got him a wife from the land of Egypt.
²² Now at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, said to Abraham, I see that God is with you in all you do.
²³ Now, then, give me your oath, in the name of God, that you will not be false to me or to my sons after me, but that as I have been good to you, so you will be to me and to this land where you have been living.
²⁴ And Abraham said, I will give you my oath.
²⁵ But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
²⁶ But Abimelech said, I have no idea who has done this thing; you never gave me word of it, and I had no knowledge of it till this day.
²⁷ And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made an agreement together.
²⁸ And Abraham put seven young lambs of the flock on one side by themselves.
²⁹ Then Abimelech said, What are these seven lambs which you have put on one side?
³⁰ And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.
³¹ So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths.
³² So they made an agreement at Beer-sheba, and Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, went back to the land of the Philistines.
³³ And Abraham, after planting a holy tree in Beer-sheba, gave worship to the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.
³⁴ And Abraham went on living in the land of the Philistines as in a strange country.
