| Genesis 21:1 | And the LORD remembered Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.
|
| Genesis 21:2 | And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
|
| Genesis 21:3 | And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
|
| Genesis 21:4 | And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
|
| Genesis 21:5 | And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
|
| Genesis 21:6 | And Sarah said: 'God hath made laughter for me; every one that heareth will laugh on account of me.'
|
| Genesis 21:7 | 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.'
|
| Genesis 21:8 | And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
|
| Genesis 21:9 | And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport.
|
| Genesis 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.'
|
| Genesis 21:11 | And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
|
| Genesis 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 saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall seed be called to thee.
|
| Genesis 21:13 | And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.'
|
| Genesis 21:14 | And Abraham arose 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 strayed in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
|
| Genesis 21:15 | And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
|
| Genesis 21:16 | 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 look upon the death of the child.' And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
|
| Genesis 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.
|
| Genesis 21:18 | Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast by thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.'
|
| Genesis 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.
|
| Genesis 21:20 | And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
|
| Genesis 21:21 | And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
|
| Genesis 21:22 | And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spoke unto Abraham, saying: 'God is with thee in all that thou doest.
|
| Genesis 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.'
|
| Genesis 21:24 | And Abraham said: 'I will swear.'
|
| Genesis 21:25 | And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
|
| Genesis 21:26 | And Abimelech said: 'I know not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.'
|
| Genesis 21:27 | And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
|
| Genesis 21:28 | And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
|
| Genesis 21:29 | And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What mean these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
|
| Genesis 21:30 | And he said: 'Verily, these seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.'
|
| Genesis 21:31 | Wherefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there they swore both of them.
|
| Genesis 21:32 | 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.
|
| Genesis 21:33 | And Abraham planted a tamarisk-tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
|
| Genesis 21:34 | And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
