Genesis 21 - Israeli Authorized Version

¹ And YY visited Sarah as he had said, and YY did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

² For Sarah conceived, and bare Avraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which Elohim had spoken to him.

³ And Avraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Yitzchak.

⁴ And Avraham circumcised His son Yitzchak being eight days old, as Elohim had Commanded him.

⁵ And Avraham was an hundred years old, when his son Yitzchak was born unto him.

⁶ And Sarah said, Elohim hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

⁷ And she said, Who would have said unto Avraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

⁸ And the child grew, and was weaned: and Avraham made a great feast the same day that Yitzchak was weaned.

⁹ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Avraham, mocking.

¹⁰ Wherefore she said unto Avraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Yitzchak.

¹¹ And the thing was very grievous in Avraham's sight because of his son.

¹² And Elohim said unto Avraham, 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 Yitzchak shall thy seed be called.

¹³ And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

¹⁴ And Avraham 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-Sheva.

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 lift up her voice, and wept.

¹⁷ And Elohim heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of Elohim called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for Elohim hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

¹⁸ Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

¹⁹ And Elohim 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 Elohim 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 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 spake unto Avraham, saying, Elohim is with thee in all that thou doest:

²³ Now therefore swear unto me here by Elohim 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.

²⁴ And Avraham said, I will swear.

²⁵ And Avraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

²⁶ And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.

²⁷ And Avraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

²⁸ And Avraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

²⁹ And Abimelech said unto Avraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

³⁰ And 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.

³¹ Wherefore he called that place Beer-Sheva; because there they sware both of them.

³² Thus they made a covenant at Beer-Sheva: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Plishtim.

³³ And Avraham planted a grove in Beer-Sheva, and called there on the name of YY , the everlasting Elohim.

³⁴ And Avraham sojourned in the Plishtim' land many days.
