| [9]And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport. |
[No book] |
| [10]Wherefore she said unto Abraham: 'Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.' |
[No book] |
| [11]And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son. |
[No book] |

[No book] |
| [15]And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. |
[No book] |
| [16]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 look upon the death of the child.' And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. |
[No book] |

| [22]And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spoke unto Abraham, saying: 'God is with thee in all that thou doest. |
[No book] |
| [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.' |
[No book] |

[No book] |
| [30]And he said: 'Verily, these seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.' |
[No book] |
| [31]Wherefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there they swore both of them. |
