| [1]And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken; |
[1]Now the Lord visited Sarah, as he had said, and did unto her according as he had promised. |
| [2]and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him; |
[2]For Sarah conceived, and bear Abraham a son in his old age, at the same season that God told him. |
| [3]and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him -- Isaac; |
[3]And Abraham called his son's name that was born unto him, which Sarah bear him, Isaac. |
| [4]and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him. |
[4]Then Abraham circumcised Isaac his son, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. |
| [5]And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him, |
[5]So Abraham was an hundred year old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. |
| [6]and Sarah saith, `God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.' |
[6]Then Sarah said, God hath made me to rejoice: all that hear will rejoice with me. |
| [7]She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?' |
[7]Again she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? For I have born him a son in his old age. |
| [8]And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned; |
[8]Then the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. |
| [9]and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking, |
[9]And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had born unto Abraham) mocking. |
| [10]and she saith to Abraham, `Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son -- with Isaac.' |
[10]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 Isaac. |
| [11]And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake; |
[11]And this thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son. |
| [12]and God saith unto Abraham, `Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee -- hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee. |
[12]But God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight for the child, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sarah shall say unto thee, hear her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. |
| [13]As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.' |
[13]As for the son of the bondwoman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seed. |
| [14]And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba; |
[14]So Abraham arose 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 also, and sent her away: who departing wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. |
| [15]and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs. |
[15]And when the water of the bottle was spent, she cast the child under a certain tree. |
| [16]And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth. |
[16]Then she went and sat her over against him afar off about a bow shoot: for she said, I will not see the death of the child. And she sat down over against him, and lift up her voice and wept. |
| [17]And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, `What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is]; |
[17]Then God heard the voice of the child, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God hath heard the voice of the child where he is. |
| [18]rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.' |
[18]Arise, take up the child, and hold him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people. |
| [19]And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink; |
[19]And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, so she went and filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink. |
| [20]and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer; |
[20]So God was with the child, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and was an archer. |
| [21]and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt. |
[21]And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. |
| [22]And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh -- Phichol also, head of his host -- unto Abraham, saying, `God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing; |
[22]And at that same time Abimelech and Phichol his chief captain spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest. |
| [23]and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.' |
[23]Now therefore swear unto me here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my children, nor my children's children: thou shalt deal with me, and with the country, where thou hast been a stranger, according unto the kindness that I have showed thee. |
| [24]And Abraham saith, `I -- I do swear.' |
[24]Then Abraham said, I will swear. |
| [25]And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away, |
[25]And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. |
| [26]and Abimelech saith, `I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.' |
[26]And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it but this day. |
| [27]And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant; |
[27]Then Abraham took sheep and beeves, and gave them unto Abimelech: and they two made a covenant. |
| [28]and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves. |
[28]And Abraham set seven lambs of the flock by themselves. |
| [29]And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, `What [are] they -- these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?' |
[29]Then Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven lambs, which thou hast set by themselves? |
| [30]And he saith, `For -- the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;' |
[30]And he answered, Because thou shalt receive of mine hand these seven lambs, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. |
| [31]therefore hath he called that place `Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn. |
[31]Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both swear. |
| [32]And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth -- Phichol also, head of his host -- and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines; |
[32]Thus made they a covenant at Beer-sheba: afterward Abimelech and Phichol his chief captain rose up, and turned again unto the land of the Philistines. |
| [33]and [Abraham] planteth a tamarask in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during; |
[33]And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of the Lord, the everlasting God. |
| [34]and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days. |
[34]And Abraham was a stranger in the Philistines land a long season. |
