Genesis 21
1. And the LORD visited * Sarah as he had said * , and the LORD did * unto Sarah as he had spoken * .
2. 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 Abraham circumcised * his son Isaac being 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, so that all that hear * will laugh * with me.
7. 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 Beersheba.
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 * 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 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 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. And Abraham took * sheep and oxen, and gave * them unto Abimelech; and both of them 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 * , For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take * of my hand,that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged * this well.
31. Wherefore he called * that place Beersheba; because there they sware * both of them.
32. Thus they made * a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up * , and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned * into the land of the Philistines.
33. And Abraham planted * a grove in Beersheba, and called * there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
34. And Abraham sojourned * in the Philistines' land many days.
