GE-21:1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORDdid unto Sarah as he had spoken. GE-21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. GE-21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. GE-21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. GE-21:5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. GE-21:6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear will laugh with me. GE-21:7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born [him] a son in his old age. GE-21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the [same] day that Isaac was weaned. GE-21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. GE-21:10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, [even] with Isaac. GE-21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. GE-21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. GE-21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy seed. GE-21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave [it] unto Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. GE-21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. GE-21:16 And she went, and sat her down over against [him] a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lift up her voice, and wept. GE-21:17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he [is]. GE-21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. GE-21:19 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. GE-21:20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. GE-21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. GE-21:22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest: GE-21:23 Now therefore swear unto 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 unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. GE-21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear. GE-21:25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. GE-21:26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it], but to day. GE-21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. GE-21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. GE-21:29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? GE-21:30 And he said, For [these] seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. GE-21:31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them. |
