1And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.studyinterlinear
2For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.studyinterlinear
3And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.studyinterlinear
4And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.studyinterlinear
5And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.studyinterlinear
6And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.studyinterlinear
7And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.studyinterlinear
8And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.studyinterlinear
9And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.studyinterlinear
10Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.studyinterlinear
11And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.studyinterlinear
12And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.studyinterlinear
13And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.studyinterlinear
14And Abraham rose 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, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.studyinterlinear
15And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.studyinterlinear
16And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.studyinterlinear
17And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.studyinterlinear
18Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.studyinterlinear
19And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.studyinterlinear
20And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.studyinterlinear
21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.studyinterlinear
22And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:studyinterlinear
23Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.studyinterlinear
24And Abraham said, I will swear.studyinterlinear
25And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.studyinterlinear
26And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.studyinterlinear
27And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.studyinterlinear
28And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.studyinterlinear
29And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?studyinterlinear
30And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.studyinterlinear
31Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.studyinterlinear
32Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.studyinterlinear
33And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.studyinterlinear
34And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.studyinterlinear
