Genesis 21

CLV(i) 1 And Yahweh visits Sarah, as He had said, and doing is Yahweh to Sarah as He had spoken. 2 And pregnant is Sarah and is bearing for Abraham a son for his old age, at the appointed time of which the Elohim had spoken to him. 3 And Abraham is calling the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah bears for him, Isaac. 4 And circumcising is Abraham Isaac, his son, at eight days of age as the Elohim had instructed him. 5 And Abraham is a hundred years of age when his son Isaac is born to him. 6 And saying is Sarah, "Laughter the Elohim makes for me. Everyone hearing is laughing for me. 7 And saying is she, "Who declared to Abraham, `Sarah suckles sons'? For I bear him a son in my old age. 8 And growing up is the boy and being weaned. And making is Abraham a great feast on the day of the weaning of Isaac, his son. 9 And seeing is Sarah the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, whom she bore for Abraham, making fun of Isaac her son. 10 And saying is she to Abraham, "Drive out this maidservant an her son, for not shall he enjoy the tenancy--the son of this maidservant--with my son, with Isaac!" 11 Yet evil is this word exceedingly in the eyes of Abraham, on account of his son's case. 12 And saying is the Elohim to Abraham, "Let it not be evil in your eyes on account of the lad, and on account of your maidservant. In all that Sarah is saying to you, hearken to her voice, for in Isaac your seed shall be called. 13 And moreover, the son of this maidservant, a great nation I will constitute him, for your seed is he. 14 And early in the morning Abraham is rising, and taking bread and a flask of water and is giving it to Hagar, and places it on her shoulder, with the boy, and is sending her away. And going is she and straying in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. 15 And finishing are they the water from the flask. And flinging is she the boy under one of the shrubs. 16 And going is she and sitting by herself, aloof from him, far off as a bow shot, for, she says, "I must not see the death of my boy.And sitting is she aloof from him. And the lad is lifting up his voice and lamenting. 17 And hearing is the Elohim the voice of the lad from the place where he is. And calling is a messenger of the Elohim to Hagar from the heavens and is saying to her, "What is the matter with you, Hagar? You must not fear, for the Elohim hears the voice of your lad from the place where he is. 18 Rise! Lift up the lad, and encourage your hand in him, for a great nation will I constitute him. 19 And unclosing is the Elohim her eyes, and seeing is she a well of living water, and is going and filling the flask with water, and giving the lad a drink. 20 And coming is it that the Elohim is with the lad, and he is growing up. And dwelling is he in the wilderness, and becoming great with his bow. 21 And dwelling is he in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother is taking a wife for him from the land of Egypt. 22 And coming is it at that season that Abimelech with Ahuzzath, his associate, and Phicol, the chief of his host, is speaking to Abraham, saying, "The Elohim is with you in all that you are doing. 23 And now, swear to me by the Elohim. Behold! Should you be false to me and to my propagator and to my progeny--! According to the kindness which I do to you shall you do with me, and with the land in which you sojourn. 24 And saying is Abraham, "I will swear. 25 Yet Abraham corrected Abimelech on account of the case of a well of water which had been snatched by the servants of Abimelech. 26 And saying is Abimelech to him, "Not know do I who did this thing. And, moreover, you did not tell me. Moreover, also I did not hear, barring today. 27 And taking is Abraham a flock and a herd, and is giving them to Abimelech. And they two are contracting a covenant. 28 And stationing is Abraham seven ewe lambs of the flock alone. 29 And saying is Abimelech to Abraham, "What are they, these seven ewe lambs of the flock which you station alone? 30 And saying is Abraham, that "The seven ewe lambs are you taking from my hand in order to become a testimony to me that I delved this well. 31 Therefore he called the name of that place Beer-sheba, for there they swore, they two. 32 And contracting are they a covenant in Beer-sheba. And rising is Abimelech and Ahuzzath, his associate, and Phicol, the chief of his host, and returning are they to the land of the Philistines. 33 And planting is Abraham a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and is calling there on the name of Yahweh, the El eonian. 34 And sojourning is Abraham in the land of the Philistines many days.
