¹ And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;

² and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;

³ and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him -- Isaac;

⁴ and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.

⁵ And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,

⁶ and Sarah saith, `God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'

⁷ She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'

⁸ And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;

⁹ and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,

¹⁰ and she saith to Abraham, `Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son -- with Isaac.'

¹¹ And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;

¹² and God saith unto Abraham, `Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee -- hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.

¹³ As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'

¹⁴ And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;

¹⁵ and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.

¹⁶ And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.

¹⁷ And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, `What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];

¹⁸ rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'

¹⁹ And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;

²⁰ and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;

²¹ and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.

²² And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh -- Phichol also, head of his host -- unto Abraham, saying, `God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;

²³ and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'

²⁴ And Abraham saith, `I -- I do swear.'

²⁵ And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,

²⁶ and Abimelech saith, `I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'

²⁷ And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;

²⁸ and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.

²⁹ And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, `What [are] they -- these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'

³⁰ And he saith, `For -- the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'

³¹ therefore hath he called that place `Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.

³² And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth -- Phichol also, head of his host -- and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;

³³ and [Abraham] planteth a tamarask in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;

³⁴ and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.

¹ And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.

² And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.

³ And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'

⁴ And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan.

⁵ And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan.

⁶ And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the land.

⁷ And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, `To thy seed I give this land;' and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who hath appeared unto him.

⁸ And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah.

⁹ And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the south.

¹⁰ And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land;

¹¹ and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance;

¹² and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This [is] his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:

¹³ say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'

¹⁴ And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceeding fair;

¹⁵ and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh's house;

¹⁶ and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels.

¹⁷ And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house -- great plagues -- for the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife.

¹⁸ And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What [is] this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she [is] thy wife?

¹⁹ Why hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.'

²⁰ And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.
