1
And Jehovah visited Sarah , as◦ He had said ; and Jehovah did to Sarah as◦ He had spoken .
2
And Sarah conceived and gave··birth ··to a son for Abraham for his old ··age, at◦ the appointed··time, of which God had spoken with◦ him.
3
And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, to whom Sarah gave··birth for him, Isaac .
4
And Abraham circumcised Isaac his son , a son of eight days , as◦ God had commanded him.
5
And Abraham was a son of a hundred years when Isaac his son was··born to him.
6
And Sarah said , God has made laughter for me, everyone that hears will laugh with me.
7
And she said , Who would have stated◦ to Abraham , Sarah shall nurse sons? For I have given··birth to a son for his old ··age.
8
And the child was growing··up, and was weaned ; and Abraham made a great feast , on◦ the day when Isaac was weaned .
9
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian◦, whom she had borne▫ to Abraham , mocking*.
10
And she said to Abraham , Drive··out this maidservant and her son ; for the son of this maidservant shall not possess with my son , with Isaac .
11
And the word was· exceedingly ·evil in the eyes of Abraham , on account◦ of his son .
12
And God said to▵ Abraham , Let it not be··evil in thine eyes on··account··of the lad , and on··account··of thy maidservant ; all that Sarah says to▵ thee, hearken to her voice , for in Isaac shall thy seed be called .
13
And also the son of the maidservant I will set for a nation , because◦ he◦ is thy seed .
14
And Abraham rose ··early in the morning , and took bread , and a bottle◦ of water , and gave them to▵ Hagar , and set them on her shoulder, and the child, and sent · her ·away; and she went and strayed in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15
And the water was··all··gone from the bottle◦, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16
And she went and sat by herself, withdrawing herself a distance of about◦ a bowshot from his presence; for she said , Let me not see the death of the child; and she sat away from his presence; and she lifted up her voice , and wept .
17
And God heard the voice of the lad , and the angel of God called to▵ Hagar out··of the heavens , and said to her, What ails thee, Hagar ? Fear not , for God has heard the voice of the lad , where he◦ is.
18
Arise , lift the lad , and make· thy hand ·firm with him, for I will set him for 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 was growing··up, and he dwelt in the wilderness , and became a shooter◦ of the bow .
21
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran ; and his mother took for him a wife from the land of Egypt .
22
And it was at that◦ time , that Abimelech and Phichol the commander ◦ of his army said to▵ Abraham , saying, God is with thee in all that thou◦ art doing.
23
And now promise to me here◦ by God , that thou wilt not▫ do··falsely to me, nor◦ to my son▵, nor◦ to my grandson; according··to the mercy that I have done with thee, thou shalt do with··me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned .
24
And Abraham said , I▵ will promise.
25
And Abraham reproved Abimelech , on account◦ of the well of waters which Abimelech ’s servants had taken··by··robbery.
26
And Abimelech said , I know not who has done this thing, and even thou◦ didst not tell me, and even I▵ did not hear of it, until today .
27
And Abraham took flock and herd , and gave to Abimelech , and the two of them cut a covenant.
28
And Abraham stood◦ seven ewe-lambs of the flock by··themselves.
29
And Abimelech said to▵ Abraham , What are these◦ seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast stood◦ by themselves?
30
And he said , For these seven ewe-lambs thou shalt take from my hand , so··that◦ it may be a testimony for me that I have dug this well .
31
Therefore he called that◦ place Beer-sheba*, for there the two of them promised.
32
And they cut a covenant in Beer-sheba; and Abimelech arose, and Phichol the commander ◦ of his army , and they returned to▵ the land of the Philistines .
33
And he planted a grove◦ in Beer-sheba , and called there on◦ the name of Jehovah , the God◦ of eternity .
34
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days .
