Genesis 21:1-32

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>_.
