   1: And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
   2: For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
   3: And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
   4: And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
   5: And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
   6: And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear will laugh with me.
   7: And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
   8: And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned.
   9: And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
   10: Wherefore, she said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman, and her son: for the son of this bond-woman shall not be heir with my son, [even] with Isaac.
   11: And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son.
   12: And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond-woman; in all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
   13: And also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy seed.
   14: And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave [it] to Hagar (putting [it] on her shoulder) and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
   15: And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
   16: And she went, and sat her down over against [him], a good way off, as it were a bow-shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and raised her voice, and wept.
   17: And God heard the voice of the lad: and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he [is].
   18: Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand: for I will make him a great nation.
   19: And 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.
   20: And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
   21: And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
   22: And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
   23: Now therefore swear to 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 to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou hast sojourned.
   24: And Abraham said, I will swear.
   25: And Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
   26: And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet have I heard [of it], but to-day.
   27: And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a covenant.
   28: And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
   29: And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?
   30: And he said, For [these] seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have digged this well.
   31: Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba: because there they swore both of them.
   32: Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: Then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
   33: And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
   34: And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
