Genesis 21

1 And the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke. 2 And she conceived and bore to Abraam a son in old age, at the set time according as theLord spoke to him. 3 And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac. 4 And Abraam circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as God commanded him. 5 And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him. 6 And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoicewith me. 7 And she said, Who shall say to Abraam that Sarrha suckles a child? for I have born a childin my old age. 8 And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his sonIsaac was weaned. 9 And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting withIsaac her son, 10 then she said to Abraam, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwomanshall not inherit with my son Isaac. 11 But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son. 12 But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before you concerning the child, and concerningthe bondwoman; in all things whatever Sarrha shall say to you, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall yourseed be called. 13 And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is yourseed. 14 And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gavethem to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departedwandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath. 15 And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree. 16 And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, forshe said, Surely I can’t see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloudand wept. 17 And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of Godcalled Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice ofthe child from the place where he is. 18 Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in your hand, for I will make him a great nation. 19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filledthe skin with water, and gave the child drink. 20 And God was with the child, and he grew and lived in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21 And he lived in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt. 22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicholthe chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with you in all things, whatever you may do. 23 Now therefore swear to me by God that you will not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name,but according to the righteousness which I have performed with you you shall deal with me, and with theland in which you have sojourned. 24 And Abraam said, I will swear. 25 And Abraam reproved Abimelech because of the wells of water, which the servants of Abimelechtook away. 26 And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to you, neither did youtell it me, neither heard I it but only today. 27 And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant. 28 And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves. 29 And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which you have set alone? 30 And Abraam said, You shall receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for meas a witness, that I dug this well. 31 Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they bothswore. 32 And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozathhis friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines. 33 And Abraam planted a field at the well of the oath, and called there on the name of theLord, the everlasting God. 34 And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days.
