021:001

For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him

021:002

And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac

021:003

And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him

021:004

And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him

021:005

And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me

021:006

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

021:007

And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned

021:008

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking

021:009

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

021:010

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son

021:011

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

021:012

And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed

021:013

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

021:014

And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs

021:015

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 see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept

021:016

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

021:017

Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation

021:018

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

021:019

And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer

021:020

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt

021:021

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

021:022

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

021:023

And Abraham said, I will swear

021:024

And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away

021:025

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

021:026

And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant

021:027

And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves

021:028

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves

021:029

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

021:030

Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them

021:031

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

021:032

And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God

021:033

And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days
