1
Then the LORD
took note
of Sarah
as He had said,
and the LORD
did
for Sarah
as He had promised.
2
So Sarah
conceived
and bore
a son
to Abraham
in his old age,
at the appointed time
of which
God
had spoken
to him.
3
Abraham
called
the name
of his son
who was born
to him, whom
Sarah
bore
to him, Isaac.
4
Then Abraham
circumcised
his son
Isaac
when he was eight
days
old,
as God
had commanded
him.
5
Now Abraham
was one hundred
years
old
when his son
Isaac
was born
to him.
6
Sarah
said,
"God
has made
laughter
for me; everyone
who hears
will laugh
with me."
7
And she said,
"Who
would have said
to Abraham
that Sarah
would nurse
children?
Yet
I have borne
him a son
in his old age."
8
The child
grew
and was weaned,
and Abraham
made
a great
feast
on the day
that Isaac
was weaned.
9
Now Sarah
saw
the son
of Hagar
the Egyptian,
whom
she had borne
to Abraham,
mocking.
10
Therefore she said
to Abraham,
"Drive
out this
maid
and her son,
for the son
of this
maid
shall not be an heir
with my son
Isaac."
11
The matter
distressed
Abraham
greatly
because
of his son.
12
But God
said
to Abraham,
"Do not be distressed
because
of the lad
and your maid;
whatever
Sarah
tells
you, listen
to her, for through
Isaac
your descendants
shall be named.
13
"And of the son
of the maid
I will make
a nation
also,
because
he is your descendant."
14
So Abraham
rose early
in the morning
and took
bread
and a skin
of water
and gave
them to Hagar,
putting
them on her shoulder,
and gave
her the boy,
and sent her away.
And she departed
and wandered
about in the wilderness
of Beersheba.
15
When the water
in the skin
was used
up, she left
the boy
under
one
of the bushes.
16
Then she went
and sat
down
opposite
him, about a bowshot
away,
for she said,
"Do not let me see
the boy
die."
And she sat
opposite
him, and lifted
up her voice
and wept.
17
God
heard
the lad
crying;
and the angel
of
God
called
to Hagar
from heaven
and said
to her, "What
is the matter with you, Hagar?
Do not fear,
for
God
has
heard
the voice
of
the lad
where
he is.
18
"Arise,
lift
up the lad,
and hold
him by the hand,
for I will make
a great
nation
of him."
19
Then God
opened
her eyes
and she saw
a well
of water;
and she went
and filled
the skin
with water
and gave
the lad
a drink.
20
God
was with the lad,
and he grew;
and he lived
in the wilderness
and became
an archer.
21
He lived
in the wilderness
of Paran,
and his mother
took
a wife
for him from the land
of Egypt.
22
Now it came
about at that time
that Abimelech
and Phicol,
the commander
of his army,
spoke
to Abraham,
saying,
"God
is with you in all
that you do;
23
now
therefore, swear
to me here
by God
that you will not deal falsely
with me or with my offspring
or with my posterity,
but according to the kindness
that I have shown
to you, you shall show
to me and to the land
in which
you have sojourned."
24
Abraham
said,
"I swear
it."
25
But Abraham
complained
to Abimelech
because
of the well
of water
which
the servants
of Abimelech
had seized.
26
And Abimelech
said,
"I do not know
who
has done
this
thing;
you did not tell
me, nor
did I hear
of it until
today."
27
Abraham
took
sheep
and oxen
and gave
them to Abimelech,
and the two
of them made
a covenant.
28
Then Abraham
set
seven
ewe lambs
of the flock
by themselves.
29
Abimelech
said
to Abraham,
"What
do these
seven
ewe lambs
mean, which
you have set
by themselves?"
30
He said,
"You shall take
these seven
ewe lambs
from my hand
so
that it may be a witness
to me, that I dug
this
well."
31
Therefore
he called
that place
Beersheba,
because
there
the two
of them took an oath.
32
So they made
a covenant
at Beersheba;
and Abimelech
and Phicol,
the commander
of his army,
arose
and returned
to the land
of the Philistines.
33
Abraham planted
a tamarisk tree
at Beersheba,
and there
he called
on the name
of the LORD,
the Everlasting
God.
34
And Abraham
sojourned
in the land
of the Philistines
for many
days.
