Genesis 21

Isaac Is Born

1

 aThen the LORDh3068 tookh6485 noteh6485 of Sarahh8283 as He had saidh559, and the LORDh3068 didh6213a for Sarahh8283 as He had  1promisedh1696.

2

 aSo Sarahh8283 conceivedh2029 and boreh3205 a sonh1121 to Abrahamh85 in his oldh2208 ageh2208, at  bthe appointedh4150 timeh4150 of whichh834 Godh430 had spokenh1696 to him.

3

Abrahamh85 calledh7121 the nameh8034 of his sonh1121 who was bornh3205 to him, whomh834 Sarahh8283 boreh3205 to him,  aIsaach3327.

4

Then Abrahamh85 circumcisedh4135 his sonh1121 Isaach3327 when he was  aeighth8083 daysh3117 oldh1121, as Godh430 had commandedh6680 him.

5

Now Abrahamh85 was  aone hundredh3967 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when his sonh1121 Isaach3327 was bornh3205 to him.

6

Sarahh8283 saidh559, "Godh430 has madeh6213a  alaughterh6712 for me; everyoneh3605 who hearsh8085 will laughh6711  1with me."

7

And she saidh559, " aWhoh4310 would have saidh559 to Abrahamh85 that Sarahh8283 would nurseh3243 childrenh1121? Yeth3588 I have borneh3205 him a sonh1121 in his oldh2208 ageh2208."

8

The childh3206 grewh1431 and was weanedh1580, and Abrahamh85 madeh6213a a greath1419 feasth4960 on the dayh3117 that Isaach3327 was weanedh1580.

Sarah Turns against Hagar

9

Now Sarahh8283 sawh7200  athe sonh1121 of Hagarh1904 the Egyptianh4713, whomh834 she had borneh3205 to Abrahamh85,  1 bmockingh6711.

10

Therefore she saidh559 to Abrahamh85, " aDriveh1644 out thish2088 maidh519 and her sonh1121, for the sonh1121 of thish2088 maidh519 shall not be an heirh3423 with my sonh1121  1Isaach3327."

11

 aThe matterh1697  1distressedh7489a Abrahamh85 greatlyh3966 becauseh5921h182 of his sonh1121.

12

But Godh430 saidh559 to Abrahamh85, " 1Do not be distressedh7489a becauseh5921 of the ladh5288 and your maidh519; whateverh3605h834 Sarahh8283 tellsh559 you, listenh8085 to her, for  athroughh4480 Isaach3327  2your descendantsh2233 shall be namedh7121.

13

"And of  athe sonh1121 of the maidh519 I will makeh7760 a nationh1471 alsoh1571, becauseh3588 he is your  1descendanth2233."

14

So Abrahamh85 roseh7925 earlyh7925 in the morningh1242 and tookh3947 breadh3899 and a  1skinh2573 of waterh4325 and gaveh5414 them to Hagarh1904, puttingh7760 them on her shoulderh7926, and gave her the boyh3206, and senth7971 her awayh7971. And she departedh1980 and wanderedh8582 about in the wildernessh4057b of Beershebah884.

15

When the waterh4325 in the skinh2573 was usedh3615 up, she  1lefth7993 the boyh3206 underh8478 oneh259 of the bushesh7880.

16

Then she wenth1980 and sath3427 downh3427 oppositeh4480h5048 him, about a bowshoth2909h7198 awayh7368, for she saidh559, "Do not let me  1seeh7200 the boyh3206 dieh4194." And she sath3427 oppositeh4480h5048 him, and  aliftedh5375 up her voiceh6963 and wepth1058.

17

Godh430  aheardh8085 the ladh5288 cryingh6963; and the angelh4397 of Godh430 calledh7121 to Hagarh1904 from heavenh8064 and saidh559 to her, "Whath4100 is the matter with you, Hagarh1904?  bDo not fearh3372a, for Godh430 has heardh8085 the voiceh6963 of the ladh5288 whereh834h8033 he is.

18

"Ariseh6965, lifth5375 up the ladh5288, and holdh2388 him by  1the handh3027,  afor I will makeh7760 a greath1419 nationh1471 of him."

19

Then Godh430  aopenedh6491b her eyesh5869 and she sawh7200  ba wellh875 of waterh4325; and she wenth1980 and filledh4390 the  1skinh2573 with waterh4325 and gaveh8248 the ladh5288 a drinkh8248.

20

 aGodh430 was with the ladh5288, and he grewh1431; and he  1livedh3427 in the wildernessh4057b and becameh1961 an archerh7235bh7199.

21

 aHe  1livedh3427 in the wildernessh4057b of Paranh6290, and his motherh517 tookh3947 a wifeh802 for him from the landh776 of Egypth4714.

Covenant with Abimelech

22

Now it cameh1961 about at that timeh6256 that  aAbimelechh40 and Phicolh6369, the commanderh8269 of his armyh6635, spokeh559 to Abrahamh85, sayingh559, " bGodh430 is with you in allh3605 that you doh6213a;

23

nowh6258 therefore,  aswearh7650 to me hereh2008 by Godh430 that you will not dealh8266 falselyh8266 with me or with my offspringh5209 or with my posterityh5220, but according to the kindnessh2617a that I have shownh6213a to you, you shall showh6213a to me and to the landh776 in whichh834 you have sojournedh1481a."

24

Abrahamh85 saidh559, "I swearh7650 it."

25

But Abrahamh85  1complainedh3198 to Abimelechh40 becauseh5921h182 of the wellh875 of waterh4325 whichh834 the servantsh5650 of Abimelechh40  ahad seizedh1497.

26

And Abimelechh40 saidh559, "I do not knowh3045 whoh4310 has doneh6213a thish2088 thingh1697; you did not tellh5046 me, norh571h3808 did I hearh8085 of it  1untilh1115 todayh3117."

27

Abrahamh85 tookh3947 sheeph6629 and oxenh1241 and gaveh5414 them to Abimelechh40, and  athe twoh8147 of them madeh3772 a covenanth1285.

28

Then Abrahamh85 seth5324 sevenh7651 eweh3535 lambsh3535 of the flockh6629 by themselvesh905.

29

Abimelechh40 saidh559 to Abrahamh85, "Whath4100 do theseh428 sevenh7651 eweh3535 lambsh3535 mean, whichh834 you have seth5324 by themselvesh905?"

30

He saidh559, "You shall takeh3947 these sevenh7651 eweh3535 lambsh3535 from my handh3027 soh5668 that it may be a  awitnessh5713a to me, that I dugh2658 thish2088 wellh875."

31

Thereforeh5921h3651 he calledh7121 that placeh4725  aBeershebah884, becauseh3588 thereh8033 the twoh8147 of them tookh7650 an oathh7650.

32

So they madeh3772 a covenanth1285 at Beershebah884; and Abimelechh40 and Phicolh6369, the commanderh8269 of his armyh6635, aroseh6965 and returnedh7725 to the landh776 of the Philistinesh6430.

33

Abraham plantedh5193 a tamariskh815 treeh815 at Beershebah884, and thereh8033  ahe calledh7121 on the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068, the  bEverlastingh5769 Godh410.

34

And Abrahamh85 sojournedh1481a  ain the landh776 of the Philistinesh6430 for manyh7227a daysh3117.
