And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. |
2
|
And 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 Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. |
5
|
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. |
6
|
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me. |
7
|
And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? 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 on the day that Isaac was weaned. |
9
|
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne 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 on account 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 saith 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 in the bottle was spent, 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 look upon 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 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. |
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 he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. |
21
|
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. |
22
|
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the 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 the 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 heard I of it, but today. |
27
|
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant. |
28
|
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. |
29
|
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? |
30
|
And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. |
31
|
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them. |
32
|
So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines. |
33
|
And {cf15i Abraham} planted a tamarisk tree 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. |
