Genesis 21:1--23:20

21:1

And the LORD
<03068>

visited
<06485> (8804)

Sarah
<08283>

as he had said
<0559> (8804)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

did
<06213> (8799)

unto Sarah
<08283>

as he had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

21:2

For Sarah
<08283>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

Abraham
<085>

a son
<01121>

in his old age
<02208>_,

at the set time
<04150>

of which God
<0430>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)

to him.

21:3

And Abraham
<085>

called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of his son
<01121>

that was born
<03205> (8737)

unto him, whom Sarah
<08283>

bare
<03205> (8804)

to him, Isaac
<03327>_.

21:4

And Abraham
<085>

circumcised
<04135> (8799)

his son
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>

being eight
<08083>

days
<03117>

old
<01121>_,

as God
<0430>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

him.

21:5

And Abraham
<085>

was an hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

when his son
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>

was born
<03205> (8736)

unto him.

21:6

And Sarah
<08283>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath made
<06213> (8804)

me to laugh
<06712>_,

[so that] all that hear
<08085> (8802)

will laugh
<06711> (8799)

with me.

21:7

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who would have said
<04448> (8765)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

that Sarah
<08283>

should have given children
<01121>

suck
<03243> (8689)_?

for I have born
<03205> (8804)

[him] a son
<01121>

in his old age
<02208>_.

21:8

And the child
<03206>

grew
<01431> (8799)_,

and was weaned
<01580> (8735)_:

and Abraham
<085>

made
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

feast
<04960>

the [same] day
<03117>

that Isaac
<03327>

was weaned
<01580> (8736)_.

21:9

And Sarah
<08283>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the son
<01121>

of Hagar
<01904>

the Egyptian
<04713>_,

which she had born
<03205> (8804)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

mocking
<06711> (8764)_.

21:10

Wherefore she said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Cast out
<01644> (8761)

this bondwoman
<0519>

and her son
<01121>_:

for the son
<01121>

of this bondwoman
<0519>

shall not be heir
<03423> (8799)

with my son
<01121>_,

[even] with Isaac
<03327>_.

21:11

And the thing
<01697>

was very
<03966>

grievous
<03415> (8799)

in Abraham's
<085>

sight
<05869>

because
<0182>

of his son
<01121>_.

21:12

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Let it not be grievous
<03415> (8799)

in thy sight
<05869>

because of the lad
<05288>_,

and because of thy bondwoman
<0519>_;

in all that Sarah
<08283>

hath said
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto her voice
<06963>_;

for in Isaac
<03327>

shall thy seed
<02233>

be called
<07121> (8735)_.

21:13

And also of the son
<01121>

of the bondwoman
<0519>

will I make
<07760> (8799)

a nation
<01471>_,

because he [is] thy seed
<02233>_.

21:14

And Abraham
<085>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

bread
<03899>_,

and a bottle
<02573>

of water
<04325>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] unto Hagar
<01904>_,

putting
<07760> (8804)

[it] on her shoulder
<07926>_,

and the child
<03206>_,

and sent her away
<07971> (8762)_:

and she departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and wandered
<08582> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Beersheba
<0884>_.

21:15

And the water
<04325>

was spent
<03615> (8799)

in
<04480>

the bottle
<02573>_,

and she cast
<07993> (8686)

the child
<03206>

under one
<0259>

of the shrubs
<07880>_.

21:16

And she went
<03212> (8799)_,

and sat her down
<03427> (8799)

over against
<05048>

[him] a good way off
<07368> (8687)_,

as it were a bowshot
<02909> (8764) <07198>_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Let me not see
<07200> (8799)

the death
<04194>

of the child
<03206>_.

And she sat
<03427> (8799)

over against [him], and lift up
<05375> (8799)

her voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

21:17

And God
<0430>

heard
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the lad
<05288>_;

and the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

called
<07121> (8799)

to Hagar
<01904>

out of heaven
<08064>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar
<01904>_?

fear
<03372> (8799)

not; for God
<0430>

hath heard
<08085> (8799)

the voice
<06963>

of the lad
<05288>

where he [is].

21:18

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

lift up
<05375> (8798)

the lad
<05288>_,

and hold
<02388> (8685)

him in thine hand
<03027>_;

for I will make
<07760> (8799)

him a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>_.

21:19

And God
<0430>

opened
<06491> (8799)

her eyes
<05869>_,

and she saw
<07200> (8799)

a well
<0875>

of water
<04325>_;

and she went
<03212> (8799)_,

and filled
<04390> (8762)

the bottle
<02573>

with water
<04325>_,

and gave
<08248> (0)

the lad
<05288>

drink
<08248> (8686)_.

21:20

And God
<0430>

was with the lad
<05288>_;

and he grew
<01431> (8799)_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and became an archer
<07235> (8802) <07199>_.

21:21

And he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Paran
<06290>_:

and his mother
<0517>

took
<03947> (8799)

him a wife
<0802>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

21:22

And it came to pass at that time
<06256>_,

that Abimelech
<040>

and Phichol
<06369>

the chief captain
<08269>

of his host
<06635>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

God
<0430>

[is] with thee in all that thou doest
<06213> (8802)_:

21:23

Now therefore swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me here
<02008>

by God
<0430>

that thou wilt not deal falsely
<08266> (8799)

with me, nor with my son
<05209>_,

nor with my son's son
<05220>_:

[but] according to the kindness
<02617>

that I have done
<06213> (8804)

unto thee, thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

unto me, and to the land
<0776>

wherein thou hast sojourned
<01481> (8804)_.

{that thou...: Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me}

21:24

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will swear
<07650> (8735)_.

21:25

And Abraham
<085>

reproved
<03198> (8689)

Abimelech
<040>

because
<0182>

of a well
<0875>

of water
<04325>_,

which Abimelech's
<040>

servants
<05650>

had violently taken away
<01497> (8804)_.

21:26

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I wot
<03045> (8804)

not who hath done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_:

neither
<03808>

didst thou tell
<05046> (8689)

me, neither
<03808>

yet heard
<08085> (8804)

I [of it], but
<01115>

to day
<03117>_.

21:27

And Abraham
<085>

took
<03947> (8799)

sheep
<06629>

and oxen
<01241>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

them unto Abimelech
<040>_;

and both of them
<08147>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_.

21:28

And Abraham
<085>

set
<05324> (8686)

seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

of the flock
<06629>

by themselves.

21:29

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

What
<02008>

[mean] these seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

which thou hast set
<05324> (8689)

by themselves?

21:30

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

For [these] seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

shalt thou take
<03947> (8799)

of my hand
<03027>_,

that
<05668>

they may be a witness
<05713>

unto me, that I have digged
<02658> (8804)

this well
<0875>_.

21:31

Wherefore he called
<07121> (8804)

that place
<04725>

Beersheba
<0884>_;

because there they sware
<07650> (8738)

both of them
<08147>_.

{Beersheba: that is, The well of the oath}

21:32

Thus they made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

at Beersheba
<0884>_:

then Abimelech
<040>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and Phichol
<06369>

the chief captain
<08269>

of his host
<06635>_,

and they returned
<07725> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

21:33

And [Abraham] planted
<05193> (8799)

a grove
<0815>

in Beersheba
<0884>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

there on the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the everlasting
<05769>

God
<0410>_.

{grove: or, tree}

21:34

And Abraham
<085>

sojourned
<01481> (8799)

in the Philistines
<06430>_'

land
<0776>

many
<07227>

days
<03117>_.

22:1

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that God
<0430>

did tempt
<05254> (8765)

Abraham
<085>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Abraham
<085>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, [here] I [am]. {Behold...: Heb. Behold me}

22:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take now
<03947> (8798)

thy son
<01121>_,

thine only
<03173>

[son] Isaac
<03327>_,

whom thou lovest
<0157> (8804)_,

and get thee
<03212> (8798)

into the land
<0776>

of Moriah
<04179>_;

and offer him
<05927> (8685)

there for a burnt offering
<05930>

upon one
<0259>

of the mountains
<02022>

which I will tell
<0559> (8799)

thee of.

22:3

And Abraham
<085>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and saddled
<02280> (8799)

his ass
<02543>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

two
<08147>

of his young men
<05288>

with him, and Isaac
<03327>

his son
<01121>_,

and clave
<01234> (8762)

the wood
<06086>

for the burnt offering
<05930>_,

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

unto the place
<04725>

of which God
<0430>

had told
<0559> (8804)

him.

22:4

Then on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

Abraham
<085>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the place
<04725>

afar off
<07350>_.

22:5

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his young men
<05288>_,

Abide
<03427> (8798)

ye here with the ass
<02543>_;

and I and the lad
<05288>

will go
<03212> (8799)

yonder
<03541>

and worship
<07812> (8691)_,

and come again
<07725> (8799)

to you.

22:6

And Abraham
<085>

took
<03947> (8799)

the wood
<06086>

of the burnt offering
<05930>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[it] upon Isaac
<03327>

his son
<01121>_;

and he took
<03947> (8799)

the fire
<0784>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and a knife
<03979>_;

and they went
<03212> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them together
<03162>_.

22:7

And Isaac
<03327>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>

his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

My father
<01>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I, my son
<01121>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold the fire
<0784>

and the wood
<06086>_:

but where [is] the lamb
<07716>

for a burnt offering
<05930>_?

{lamb: or, kid}

22:8

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

My son
<01121>_,

God
<0430>

will provide
<07200> (8799)

himself a lamb
<07716>

for a burnt offering
<05930>_:

so they went
<03212> (8799)

both of them
<08147>

together
<03162>_.

22:9

And they came
<0935> (8799)

to the place
<04725>

which God
<0430>

had told
<0559> (8804)

him of; and Abraham
<085>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

there, and laid
<06186> (0)

the wood
<06086>

in order
<06186> (8799)_,

and bound
<06123> (8799)

Isaac
<03327>

his son
<01121>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

him on the altar
<04196>

upon
<04605>

the wood
<06086>_.

22:10

And Abraham
<085>

stretched forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the knife
<03979>

to slay
<07819> (8800)

his son
<01121>_.

22:11

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto him out of heaven
<08064>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Abraham
<085>_,

Abraham
<085>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

22:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lay
<07971> (8799)

not thine hand
<03027>

upon
<0413>

the lad
<05288>_,

neither do thou
<06213> (8799)

any thing
<03972>

unto him: for now
<06258>

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou fearest
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

seeing thou hast not
<03808>

withheld
<02820> (8804)

thy son
<01121>_,

thine only
<03173>

[son] from me.

22:13

And Abraham
<085>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and behold behind
<0310>

[him] a ram
<0352>

caught
<0270> (8737)

in a thicket
<05442>

by his horns
<07161>_:

and Abraham
<085>

went
<03212> (8799)

and took
<03947> (8799)

the ram
<0352>_,

and offered him up
<05927> (8686)

for a burnt offering
<05930>

in the stead
<08478>

of his son
<01121>_.

22:14

And Abraham
<085>

called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Jehovahjireh
<03070>_:

as
<0834>

it is said
<0559> (8735)

[to] this day
<03117>_,

In the mount
<02022>

of the LORD
<03068>

it shall be seen
<07200> (8735)_.

{Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}

22:15

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>

out of heaven
<08064>

the second time
<08145>_,

22:16

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

By myself have I sworn
<07650> (8738)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

for because
<03282> <0834>

thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_,

and hast not
<03808>

withheld
<02820> (8804)

thy son
<01121>_,

thine only
<03173>

[son]:

22:17

That in blessing
<01288> (8763)

I will bless
<01288> (8762)

thee, and in multiplying
<07235> (8687)

I will multiply
<07235> (8686)

thy seed
<02233>

as the stars
<03556>

of the heaven
<08064>_,

and as the sand
<02344>

which [is] upon the sea
<03220>

shore
<08193>_;

and thy seed
<02233>

shall possess
<03423> (8799)

the gate
<08179>

of his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

{shore: Heb. lip}

22:18

And in thy seed
<02233>

shall all the nations
<01471>

of the earth
<0776>

be blessed
<01288> (8694)_;

because
<0834> <06118>

thou hast obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_.

22:19

So Abraham
<085>

returned
<07725> (8799)

unto his young men
<05288>_,

and they rose up
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

together
<03162>

to Beersheba
<0884>_;

and Abraham
<085>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

at Beersheba
<0884>_.

22:20

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that it was told
<05046> (8714)

Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, Milcah
<04435>_,

she hath also born
<03205> (8804)

children
<01121>

unto thy brother
<0251>

Nahor
<05152>_;

22:21

Huz
<05780>

his firstborn
<01060>_,

and Buz
<0938>

his brother
<0251>_,

and Kemuel
<07055>

the father
<01>

of Aram
<0758>_,

22:22

And Chesed
<03777>_,

and Hazo
<02375>_,

and Pildash
<06394>_,

and Jidlaph
<03044>_,

and Bethuel
<01328>_.

22:23

And Bethuel
<01328>

begat
<03205> (8804)

Rebekah
<07259>_:

these eight
<08083>

Milcah
<04435>

did bear
<03205> (8804)

to Nahor
<05152>_,

Abraham's
<085>

brother
<0251>_.

{Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}

22:24

And his concubine
<06370>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Reumah
<07208>_,

she bare
<03205> (8799)

also Tebah
<02875>_,

and Gaham
<01514>_,

and Thahash
<08477>_,

and Maachah
<04601>_.

23:1

And Sarah
<08283>

was an hundred
<03967> <08141>

and seven
<07651> <08141>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<02416>_:

[these were] the years
<08141>

of the life
<02416>

of Sarah
<08283>_.

23:2

And Sarah
<08283>

died
<04191> (8799)

in Kirjatharba
<07153>_;

the same [is] Hebron
<02275>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_:

and Abraham
<085>

came
<0935> (8799)

to mourn
<05594> (8800)

for Sarah
<08283>_,

and to weep
<01058> (8800)

for her.

23:3

And Abraham
<085>

stood up
<06965> (8799)

from before
<06440>

his dead
<04191> (8801)_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto the sons
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

23:4

I [am] a stranger
<01616>

and a sojourner
<08453>

with you: give
<05414> (8798)

me a possession
<0272>

of a buryingplace
<06913>

with you, that I may bury
<06912> (8799)

my dead
<04191> (8801)

out of my sight
<06440>_.

23:5

And the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)

unto him,

23:6

Hear us
<08085> (8798)_,

my lord
<0113>_:

thou [art] a mighty
<0430>

prince
<05387>

among us
<08432>_:

in the choice
<04005>

of our sepulchres
<06913>

bury
<06912> (8798)

thy dead
<04191> (8801)_;

none
<03808> <0376>

of us shall withhold
<03607> (8799)

from thee his sepulchre
<06913>_,

but that thou mayest bury
<06912> (8800)

thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.

{a mighty...: Heb. a prince of God}

23:7

And Abraham
<085>

stood up
<06965> (8799)_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself to the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

[even] to the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_.

23:8

And he communed
<01696> (8762)

with them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If it be
<03426>

your mind
<05315>

that I should bury
<06912> (8800)

my dead
<04191> (8801)

out of my sight
<06440>_;

hear
<08085> (8798)

me, and intreat
<06293> (8798)

for me to Ephron
<06085>

the son
<01121>

of Zohar
<06714>_,

23:9

That he may give
<05414> (8799)

me the cave
<04631>

of Machpelah
<04375>_,

which he hath, which [is] in the end
<07097>

of his field
<07704>_;

for as much
<04392> (0)

money
<03701>

as it is worth
<04392>

he shall give it
<05414> (8799)

me for a possession
<0272>

of a buryingplace
<06913>

amongst you
<08432>_.

{as much...: Heb. full money}

23:10

And Ephron
<06085>

dwelt
<03427> (8802)

among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_:

and Ephron
<06085>

the Hittite
<02850>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Abraham
<085>

in the audience
<0241>

of the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_,

[even] of all that went in
<0935> (8802)

at the gate
<08179>

of his city
<05892>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{audience: Heb. ears}

23:11

Nay
<03808>_,

my lord
<0113>_,

hear me
<08085> (8798)_:

the field
<07704>

give I
<05414> (8804)

thee, and the cave
<04631>

that [is] therein, I give it
<05414> (8804)

thee; in the presence
<05869>

of the sons
<01121>

of my people
<05971>

give
<05414> (8804)

I it thee: bury
<06912> (8798)

thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.

23:12

And Abraham
<085>

bowed down
<07812> (8691)

himself before
<06440>

the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

23:13

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Ephron
<06085>

in the audience
<0241>

of the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee
<03863>_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

me: I will give
<05414> (8804)

thee money
<03701>

for the field
<07704>_;

take
<03947> (8798)

[it] of me, and I will bury
<06912> (8799)

my dead
<04191> (8801)

there.

23:14

And Ephron
<06085>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)

unto him,

23:15

My lord
<0113>_,

hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me: the land
<0776>

[is worth] four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_;

what [is] that betwixt
<0996>

me and thee? bury
<06912> (8798)

therefore thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.

23:16

And Abraham
<085>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto Ephron
<06085>_;

and Abraham
<085>

weighed
<08254> (8799)

to Ephron
<06085>

the silver
<03701>_,

which he had named
<01696> (8765)

in the audience
<0241>

of the sons
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_,

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_,

current
<05674> (8802)

[money] with the merchant
<05503> (8802)_.

23:17

And the field
<07704>

of Ephron
<06085>_,

which [was] in Machpelah
<04375>_,

which [was] before
<06440>

Mamre
<04471>_,

the field
<07704>_,

and the cave
<04631>

which [was] therein, and all the trees
<06086>

that [were] in the field
<07704>_,

that [were] in all the borders
<01366>

round about
<05439>_,

were made sure
<06965> (8799)

23:18

Unto Abraham
<085>

for a possession
<04736>

in the presence
<05869>

of the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_,

before all that went in
<0935> (8802)

at the gate
<08179>

of his city
<05892>_.

23:19

And after
<0310>

this
<03651>_,

Abraham
<085>

buried
<06912> (8804)

Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>

in the cave
<04631>

of the field
<07704>

of Machpelah
<04375>

before
<06440>

Mamre
<04471>_:

the same [is] Hebron
<02275>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

23:20

And the field
<07704>_,

and the cave
<04631>

that [is] therein, were made sure
<06965> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>

for a possession
<0272>

of a buryingplace
<06913>

by the sons
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_.

Genesis 12:6

12:6

And Abram
<087>

passed through
<05674> (8799)

the land
<0776>

unto the place
<04725>

of Sichem
<07927>_,

unto the plain
<0436>

of Moreh
<04176>_.

And the Canaanite
<03669>

[was] then
<0227>

in the land
<0776>_.

{plain: Heb. plains}

12:11

And it came to pass, when
<0834>

he was come near
<07126> (8689)

to enter

into Egypt
<04714>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Sarai
<08297>

his wife
<0802>_,

Behold
<02009>

now
<04994>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou [art] a fair
<03303>

woman
<0802>

to look upon
<04758>_:
