Genesis 21
21:1 And 21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his
old age, at the set time of which Elohim had spoken to him. 21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was
born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight
days old, as Elohim had commanded him. 21:5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son
Isaac was born unto him. 21:6 And Sarah said, Elohim hath made me to laugh, so
that all that hear will laugh with me. 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. 21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham
made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which
she had born unto Abraham, mocking. 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. 21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight
because of his son. 21:12 And Elohim 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. 21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a
nation, because he is thy seed. 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 Beer-sheba. 21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she
cast the child under one of the shrubs. 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. 21:17 And Elohim heard the voice of the lad; and the
angel of Elohim called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar?
fear not; for Elohim hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine
hand; for I will make him a great nation. 21:19 And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a well of
water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. 21:20 And Elohim was with the lad; and he grew, and
dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his
mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 21:22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech
and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, Elohim is with thee
in all that thou doest: 21:23 Now therefore swear unto me here by Elohim 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. 21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear. 21:25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well
of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. 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. 21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them
unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. 21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by
themselves. 21:29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these
seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 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. 21:31 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because
there they sware both of them. 21:32 Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then
Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the
land of the Philistines. 21:33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and
called there on the name of 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land
many days. *Everlasting El visited Sarah as he had said, and
did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
