Genesis 21 — YLT
21Verse 1And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;Verse 2and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;Verse 3and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;Verse 4and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.Verse 5And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,Verse 6and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'Verse 7She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'Verse 8And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;Verse 9and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,Verse 10and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'Verse 11And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;Verse 12and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.Verse 13As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'Verse 14And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;Verse 15and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.Verse 16And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.Verse 17And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];Verse 18rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'Verse 19And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;Verse 20and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;Verse 21and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.Verse 22And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;Verse 23and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'Verse 24And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'Verse 25And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,Verse 26and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'Verse 27And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;Verse 28and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.Verse 29And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'Verse 30And he saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'Verse 31therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.Verse 32And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;Verse 33and [Abraham] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;Verse 34and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
