21The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had promised.H3068H6485H8283H559H3068H6213H8283H16962And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him.H8283H2029H3205H85H1121H2208H4150H430H16963Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac.H85H7121H8034H1121H3205H8283H3205H33274And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.H85H4135H1121H3327H8083H3117H1121H430H66805Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.H85H3967H8141H1121H1121H3327H32056And Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me."H8283H559H430H6213H6712H8085H67117And she said, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age."H559H4448H85H8283H1121H3243H3205H1121H22088And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.H3206H1431H1580H85H6213H1419H4960H3117H3327H15809But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing.H8283H7200H1121H1904H4713H3205H85H671110So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."H559H85H1644H519H1121H1121H519H3423H1121H332711And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son.H1697H3966H3415H85H5869H182H112112But God said to Abraham, "Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named.H430H559H85H3415H5869H5288H519H8283H559H8085H6963H3327H2233H712113And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring."H1121H519H7760H1471H223314So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.H85H7925H1242H3947H3899H2573H4325H5414H1904H7760H7926H3206H7971H3212H8582H4057H88415When the water in the skin was gone, she put the child under one of the bushes.H4325H3615H4480H2573H7993H3206H259H788016Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot, for she said, "Let me not look on the death of the child." And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept.H3212H3427H5048H7368H2909H7198H559H7200H4194H3206H3427H5375H6963H105817And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.H430H8085H6963H5288H4397H430H7121H1904H8064H559H1904H3372H430H8085H6963H528818Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation."H6965H5375H5288H2388H3027H7760H1419H147119Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.H430H6491H5869H7200H875H4325H3212H4390H2573H4325H8248H5288H824820And God was with the boy, and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an expert with the bow.H430H5288H1431H3427H4057H7235H719921He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.H3427H4057H6290H517H3947H802H776H471422At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, "God is with you in all that you do.H6256H40H6369H8269H6635H559H85H559H430H621323Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my descendants or with my posterity, but as I have dealt kindly with you, so you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned."H7650H2008H430H8266H5209H5220H2617H6213H6213H776H148124And Abraham said, "I will swear."H85H559H765025When Abraham reproved Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized,H85H3198H40H182H875H4325H40H5650H149726Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today."H40H559H3045H6213H1697H3808H5046H3808H8085H1115H311727So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.H85H3947H6629H1241H5414H40H8147H3772H128528Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart.H85H5324H7651H3535H662929And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?"H40H559H85H2008H7651H3535H532430He said, "These seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that this may be a witness for me that I dug this well."H559H7651H3535H3947H3027H5668H5713H2658H87531Therefore that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them swore an oath.H7121H4725H884H7650H814732So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Then Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army rose up and returned to the land of the Philistines.H3772H1285H884H40H6965H6369H8269H6635H7725H776H643033Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.H5193H815H884H7121H8034H3068H5769H41034And Abraham sojourned many days in the land of the Philistines.H85H1481H6430H776H7227H3117
