21:1 ¶ And the LORD {3068} visited {6485} <8804> (853) Sarah {8283} as (834) he had said, {559} <8804> and the LORD {3068} did {6213} <8799> unto Sarah {8283} as (834) he had spoken. {1696} <8765>

21:2 For Sarah {8283} conceived, {2029} <8799> and bare {3205} <8799> Abraham {85} a son {1121} in his old age, {2208} at the set time {4150} of which (834) God {430} had spoken {1696} <8765> to him.

21:3 And Abraham {85} called {7121} <8799> (853) the name {8034} of his son {1121} that was born {3205} <8737> unto him, whom (834) Sarah {8283} bare {3205} <8804> to him, Isaac. {3327}

21:4 And Abraham {85} circumcised {4135} <8799> his son {1121} Isaac {3327} being eight {8083} days {3117} old, {1121} as (834) God {430} had commanded {6680} <8765> him.

21:5 And Abraham {85} was an hundred {3967} years {8141} old, {1121} when (853) his son {1121} Isaac {3327} was born {3205} <8736> unto him.

21:6 ¶ And Sarah {8283} said, {559} <8799> God {430} hath made {6213} <8804> me to laugh, {6712} [so that] all (3605) that hear {8085} <8802> will laugh {6711} <8799> with me.

21:7 And she said, {559} <8799> Who (4310) would have said {4448} <8765> unto Abraham, {85} that Sarah {8283} should have given children [1121] suck? {3243} <8689> (1121) for (3588) I have born {3205} <8804> [him] a son {1121} in his old age. {2208}

21:8 And the child {3206} grew, {1431} <8799> and was weaned: {1580} <8735> and Abraham {85} made {6213} <8799> a great {1419} feast {4960} the [same] day {3117} that (853) Isaac {3327} was weaned. {1580} <8736>

21:9 ¶ And Sarah {8283} saw {7200} <8799> (853) the son {1121} of Hagar {1904} the Egyptian, {4713} which (834) she had born {3205} <8804> unto Abraham, {85} mocking. {6711} <8764>

21:10 Wherefore she said {559} <8799> unto Abraham, {85} Cast out {1644} <8761> this (2063) bondwoman {519} and her son: {1121} for (3588) the son {1121} of this (2063) bondwoman {519} shall not (3808) be heir {3423} <8799> with (5973) my son, {1121} [even] with (5973) Isaac. {3327}

21:11 And the thing {1697} was very [3966] grievous [3415] <8799> (7489) (3966) in Abraham's {85} sight {5869} because {182} (5921) of his son. {1121}

21:12 ¶ And God {430} said {559} <8799> unto (413) Abraham, {85} Let it not (408) be grievous [3415] <8799> (7489) in thy sight {5869} because of (5921) the lad, {5288} and because of (5921) thy bondwoman; {519} in all (3605) that (834) Sarah {8283} hath said {559} <8799> unto (413) thee, hearken {8085} <8798> unto her voice; {6963} for (3588) in Isaac {3327} shall thy seed {2233} be called. {7121} <8735>

21:13 And also (1571) (853) of the son {1121} of the bondwoman {519} will I make {7760} <8799> a nation, {1471} because (3588) he (1931) [is] thy seed. {2233}

21:14 And Abraham {85} rose up early {7925} <8686> in the morning, {1242} and took {3947} <8799> bread, {3899} and a bottle {2573} of water, {4325} and gave {5414} <8799> [it] unto (413) Hagar, {1904} putting {7760} <8804> [it] on (5921) her shoulder, {7926} and the child, {3206} and sent her away: {7971} <8762> and she departed, [3212] <8799> (1980) and wandered {8582} <8799> in the wilderness {4057} of Beersheba. {884}

21:15 And the water {4325} was spent {3615} <8799> in {4480} the bottle, {2573} and she cast {7993} <8686> (853) the child {3206} under (8478) one {259} of the shrubs. {7880}

21:16 And she went, [3212] <8799> (1980) and sat her down {3427} <8799> over against {5048} (4480) [him] a good way off, {7368} <8687> as it were a bowshot: {2909} {7198} <8764> for (3588) she said, {559} <8804> Let me not (408) see {7200} <8799> the death {4194} of the child. {3206} And she sat {3427} <8799> over against (4480) (5048) [him], and lift up {5375} <8799> (853) her voice, {6963} and wept. {1058} <8799>

21:17 And God {430} heard {8085} <8804> (853) the voice {6963} of the lad; {5288} and the angel {4397} of God {430} called {7121} <8799> to (413) Hagar {1904} out of (4480) heaven, {8064} and said {559} <8799> unto her, What (4100) aileth thee, Hagar? {1904} fear {3372} <8799> not; (408) for (3588) God {430} hath heard {8085} <8799> (413) the voice {6963} of the lad {5288} where (834) (8033) he (1931) [is].

21:18 Arise, {6965} <8798> lift up {5375} <8798> (853) the lad, {5288} and hold {2388} <8685> him in (854) thine hand; {3027} for (3588) I will make {7760} <8799> him a great {1419} nation. {1471}

21:19 And God {430} opened {6491} <8799> (853) her eyes, {5869} and she saw {7200} <8799> a well {875} of water; {4325} and she went, [3212] <8799> (1980) and filled {4390} <8762> (853) the bottle {2573} with water, {4325} and gave [8248] <0> (853) the lad {5288} drink. {8248} <8686>

21:20 And God {430} was (1961) with (854) the lad; {5288} and he grew, {1431} <8799> and dwelt {3427} <8799> in the wilderness, {4057} and became (1961) an archer. {7235} {7199} <8802>

21:21 And he dwelt {3427} <8799> in the wilderness {4057} of Paran: {6290} and his mother {517} took {3947} <8799> him a wife {802} out of the land {776} (4480) of Egypt. {4714}

21:22 ¶ And it came to pass (1961) at that (1931) time, {6256} that Abimelech {40} and Phichol {6369} the chief captain {8269} of his host {6635} spake {559} <8799> unto (413) Abraham, {85} saying, {559} <8800> God {430} [is] with (5973) thee in all (3605) that (834) thou (859) doest: {6213} <8802>

21:23 Now (6258) therefore swear {7650} <8734> unto me here {2008} by God {430} that thou wilt not deal falsely {8266} <8799> with me, nor with my son, {5209} nor with my son's son: {5220} [but] according to the kindness {2617} that (834) I have done {6213} <8804> unto (5973) thee, thou shalt do {6213} <8799> unto (5978) me, and to (5973) the land {776} wherein (834) thou hast sojourned. {1481} <8804>

21:24 And Abraham {85} said, {559} <8799> I (595) will swear. {7650} <8735>

21:25 And Abraham {85} reproved {3198} <8689> (853) Abimelech {40} because [182] of (5921) (182) a well {875} of water, {4325} which (834) Abimelech's {40} servants {5650} had violently taken away. {1497} <8804>

21:26 And Abimelech {40} said, {559} <8799> I wot {3045} <8804> not (3808) who (4310) hath done {6213} <8804> (853) this (2088) thing: {1697} neither {3808} didst thou (859) tell {5046} <8689> me, neither {3808} yet (1571) heard {8085} <8804> I (595) [of it], but {1115} to day. {3117}

21:27 And Abraham {85} took {3947} <8799> sheep {6629} and oxen, {1241} and gave {5414} <8799> them unto Abimelech; {40} and both (8147) of them [8147] made {3772} <8799> a covenant. {1285}

21:28 And Abraham {85} set {5324} <8686> (853) seven {7651} ewe lambs {3535} of the flock {6629} by themselves. (905)

21:29 And Abimelech {40} said {559} <8799> unto (413) Abraham, {85} What [2008] (4100) [mean] these (428) seven {7651} ewe lambs {3535} which (834) thou hast set {5324} <8689> by themselves? (905)

21:30 And he said, {559} <8799> For (3588) [these] (853) seven {7651} ewe lambs {3535} shalt thou take {3947} <8799> of my hand, {3027} (4480) that {5668} they may be (1961) a witness {5713} unto me, that (3588) I have digged {2658} <8804> (853) this (2088) well. {875}

21:31 Wherefore (5921) (3651) he called {7121} <8804> that (1931) place {4725} Beersheba; {884} because (3588) there (8033) they sware {7650} <8738> both (8147) of them. [8147]

21:32 Thus they made {3772} <8799> a covenant {1285} at Beersheba: {884} then Abimelech {40} rose up, {6965} <8799> and Phichol {6369} the chief captain {8269} of his host, {6635} and they returned {7725} <8799> into (413) the land {776} of the Philistines. {6430}

21:33 ¶ And [Abraham] planted {5193} <8799> a grove {815} in Beersheba, {884} and called {7121} <8799> there (8033) on the name {8034} of the LORD, {3068} the everlasting {5769} God. {410}

21:34 And Abraham {85} sojourned {1481} <8799> in the Philistines' {6430} land {776} many {7227} days. {3117}
