For Sarah conceived, and bare 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 unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. |
4

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. |
8
|
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the [same] day that Isaac was weaned. |
9
|
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. |
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. |
11
|
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son. |
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. |
13
|
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy seed. |
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. |
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 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. |
17
|
And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called 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. ] |
18
|
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine 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. |

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: |
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. |
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 wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it,] but to day. |
27
