SARAH BIRTHS YISCHAQ
And Yah Veh visits Sarah as he said and Yah Veh works to Sarah as he worded: 2 and Sarah conceives and births Abraham a son in his old age at the season Elohim worded to him: 3 and Abraham calls the name of the son he births, whom Sarah births to him, Yischaq: 4 and Abraham circumcises his son Yischaq - a son of eight days, as Elohim misvahed him: 5 and Abraham is a son of a hundred years when he births his son Yischaq. 6 And Sarah says, Elohim works me laughter; all who hear laugh with me. 7 And she says, Who utters to Abraham, that Sarah ever suckle sons - to birth him a son for his old age? 8 And the child grows and weans: and Abraham works a great banquet the day they wean Yischaq. 9 And Sarah sees the son of Hagar the Misrayim, whom she birthed to Abraham, ridiculing: 10 and she says to Abraham, Expel this maid and her son: for the son of this maid supersedes not my son - with Yischaq. 11 And the word is mighty evil in the eyes of Abraham because of his son: 12 and Elohim says to Abraham, Villify not in your eyes because of the lad and because of your maid: in all that Sarah says to you, hearken to her voice; for your seed is called in Yischaq: 13 and I also set a goyim of the son of the maid because he is your seed. 14 And Abraham starts early in the morning and takes bread and a skin of water and gives it to Hagar, putting it and the child on her shoulder and sends her away: and she goes and strays in the wilderness of Beer Sheba: 15 and the water is finished off from the skin and she casts the child under one of the shrubs. 16 And she goes and sits down opposite - away - about a bowshot: for she says, O that I not see the death of the child. - and she sits far removed and lifts her voice and weeps. 17 And Elohim hears the voice of the lad; and the angel of Elohim calls to Hagar from the heavens, and says to her, What ails you, Hagar? Awe not! For Elohim hears the voice of the lad where he is. 18 Rise! Lift the lad and strengthen him in your hand; for I set him to be a great goyim. 19 And Elohim opens her eyes and she sees a well of water; and she goes and fills the skin with water and gives the lad drink. 20 And Elohim is with the lad; and he grows and settles in the wilderness and abounds with the bow: 21 and he settles in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother takes him a woman from the land of Misrayim. 22 And so be it, at that time, Abi Melech and Pichol the governor of his host say to Abraham, saying, Elohim is with you in all you work: 23 and now oath to me here by Elohim that you falsify neither with me, nor with my offspring, nor with my posterity: but according to the mercy I work to you, you also work to me - and to the land wherein you sojourn. 24 And Abraham says, I oath. 25 And Abraham reproves Abi Melech because of a well of water, which the servants of Abi Melech stripped. 26 And Abi Melech says, I neither perceived who worked this word: nor told you me, nor yet I - I hear until today. 27 And Abraham takes flocks and oxen and gives them to Abi Melech; and the two of them cut a covenant: 28 and Abraham stations seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 29 And Abi Melech says to Abraham, What are these seven ewe lambs you station by themselves? 30 And he says, Take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, to become a witness to me that I digged this well. 31 So he calls that place Beer Sheba; because there they oath - the two of them: 32 and they cut a covenant at Beer Sheba: then Abi Melech and Pichol the governor of his host rise and return to the land of the Peleshethiy. 33 And he plants a grove in Beer Sheba and calls on the name of Yah Veh, the eternal El: 34 and Abraham sojourns in the land of the Peleshethiym many days.
