GE-21:1  And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD 
did unto

Sarah as he had spoken.

GE-21:2  For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old 
age, at the

set time of which God had spoken to him.

GE-21:3  And Abraham called the name of his son that was born 
unto him, whom

Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

GE-21:4  And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days 
old, as God

had commanded him.

GE-21:5  And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son 
Isaac was born

unto him.

GE-21:6  And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] 
all that hear

will laugh with me.

GE-21:7  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.

GE-21:8  And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a 
great feast

the [same] day that Isaac was weaned.

GE-21:9  And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she 
had born unto

Abraham, mocking.

GE-21:10  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.

GE-21:11  And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight 
because of his

son.

GE-21:12  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.

GE-21:13  And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a 
nation, because

he [is] thy seed.

GE-21:14  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 Beersheba.

GE-21:15  And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast 
the child under

one of the shrubs.

GE-21:16  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.

GE-21:17  And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of 
God called to

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].

GE-21:18  Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; 
for I will make

him a great nation.

GE-21:19  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.

GE-21:20  And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in 
the wilderness,

and became an archer.

GE-21:21  And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his 
mother took him a

wife out of the land of Egypt.

GE-21:22  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:

GE-21:23  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.

GE-21:24  And Abraham said, I will swear.

GE-21:25  And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of 
water, which

Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

GE-21:26  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.

GE-21:27  And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto 
Abimelech; and

both of them made a covenant.

GE-21:28  And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by 
themselves.

GE-21:29  And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What [mean] these 
seven ewe lambs

which thou hast set by themselves?

GE-21:30  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.

GE-21:31  Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because 
there they sware

both of them.

GE-21:32  Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech 
rose up, and

Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into 
the land of the

Philistines.

GE-21:33  And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beersheba, and called 
there on the

name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

GE-21:34  And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many 
days.
