[1]The Lord visited Sara as he had promised, and did vnto her accordyng as he had spoke
[2]For Sara conceaued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, euen the same season whiche the Lorde had appoynted
[3]And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him, whiche Sara bare hym, Isahac
[4]And Abraham circumcised his sonne Isahac, when he was eyght dayes olde, as God commaunded him
[5]And Abraham was an hundreth yere olde, when his sonne Isahac was borne vnto him
[6]But Sara sayde: God hath made me to reioyce, so that all that heare, wyll ioy with me
[7]She sayd also: who would haue sayde vnto Abraham, that Sara shoulde haue geuen chyldren sucke? for I haue borne [him] a sonne in his olde age
[8]The chylde grewe, and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isahac was weaned
[9]Sara saw also the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian, whiche she had borne vnto Abraham, [to be] a mocker
[10]Wherfore she sayd vnto Abraham: cast out this bond woman, & her sonne: for the sonne of this bonde woman, shal not be heyre with my sonne Isahac
[11]And this saying was very greeuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne
[12]And God sayde vnto Abraham, let it not be greeuous in thy sight, because of the lad and of thy bonde woman: In al that Sara hath said vnto thee, heare her voyce, for in Isahac shall thy seede be called
[13]Moreouer, of the sonne of the bonde woman wyll I make a nation, because he is thy seede
[14]And so Abraham rose vp early in the mornyng, and tooke bread, and a bottel of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, puttyng it on her shoulder, and the lad also, and sent her away: who departing, wandered vp and downe in the wildernesse of Beer seba
[15]And the water was spent in the bottell, and she cast the lad vnder some one of the trees
[16]And went, and sate on the other syde a great way, as it were a bowe shote of: for she sayd, I wyll not see the death of the chylde. And she sitting downe on the other side, lyft vp her voyce & wept
[17]And God hearde the voyce of the lad, and the angell of God called to Hagar out of heauen, and said vnto her, what ayleth thee Hagar? feare not: for God hath hearde the voyce of the lad where he lyeth
[18]Aryse and lyft vp the lad, and take him in thyne hande, for I wyll make of hym a great people
[19]And God opened her eyes, and she sawe a well of water, and she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the lad drinke
[20]And God was with the lad, and he grewe, and dwelt in the wyldernesse, and became a principall archer
[21]And he dwelt in the wyldernesse of Paran, and his mother got hym a wyfe out of the lande of Egypt
[22]And at the same season, Abimelech and Phicol his chiefe captayne spake vnto Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest
[23]And nowe therefore, sweare vnto me euen here by God, that thou wylt not hurt me, nor my chyldren, nor my chyldrens children: but that thou shalt deale with me and the countrey where thou hast ben a straunger, accordyng vnto the kyndnesse that I haue shewed thee
[24]And Abraham saide, I will sweare
[25]And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a wel of water, which Abimeleches seruauntes had violently taken away
[26]And Abimelech said, I wote not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neyther hearde I [of it] but this day
[27]And Abraham toke sheepe and Oxen, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: & they made both of them a leage together
[28]And Abraham set seuen ewe lambes by them selues
[29]And Abimelech sayd vnto Abraham: what meane these seuen ewe lambes whiche thou hast set by them selues
[30]He aunswered: for these seuen ewe lambes shalt thou take of my hande, that they may be a wytnesse vnto me, that I haue digged this well
[31]Wherefore the place is called Beer seba, because that there they sware both of them
[32]Thus made they a leage together at Beer seba: and Abimelech and Phicol his chiefe captayne rose vp, and turned agayne into the lande of the Philistines
[33]And Abraham planted a wood in Beer seba, and called there on the name of the Lorde the euerlasting God
[34]And Abraham soiourned in the Philistines lande a long season
