that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God
healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
18 For the LORD had fast
closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Gen.21
1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For
Sarah conceived, and bare 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 unto him, whom Sarah bare to him,
Isaac.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto 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
unto Abraham, 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 Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was
weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
10
Wherefore 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.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight
because of his son.
12 And 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.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because
he is thy seed.
14 And 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.
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 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.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called 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.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine 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 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 Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
23 Now 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.
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 wot not who
hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
27 And Abraham took
sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28 And Abraham
set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said unto 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 of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 Wherefore
he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
32 Thus 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.
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 Philistines' land many days.
Gen.22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and
he said, Behold, here I am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,
and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains
which I will tell thee of.
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two
of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up,
