21:1 The
LORD
visited
Sarah
as
he
had
said,
and
the
LORD
did
to
Sarah
as
he
had
promised.
21:2 And
Sarah
conceived
and
bore
Abraham
a
son
in
his
old
age
at
the
time
of
which
God
had
spoken
to
him.
21:3 Abraham
called
the
name
of
his
son
who
was
born
to
him,
whom
Sarah
bore
him,
Isaac.
21:4 And
Abraham
circumcised
his
son
Isaac
when
he
was
eight
days
old,
as
God
had
commanded
him.
21:5 Abraham
was
a
hundred
years
old
when
his
son
Isaac
was
born
to
him.
21:6 And
Sarah
said,
"God
has
made
laughter
for
me;
everyone
who
hears
will
laugh
over
me."
21:7 And
she
said,
"Who
would
have
said
to
Abraham
that
Sarah
would
nurse
children
Yet
I
have
borne
him
a
son
in
his
old
age."
21:8 And
the
child
grew
and
was
weaned.
And
Abraham
made
a
great
feast
on
the
day
that
Isaac
was
weaned.
21:9 But
Sarah
saw
the
son
of
Hagar
the
Egyptian,
whom
she
had
borne
to
Abraham,
laughing.
21:10 So
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."
21:11 And
the
thing
was
very
displeasing
to
Abraham
on
account
of
his
son.
21:12 But
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.
21:13 And
I
will
make
a
nation
of
the
son
of
the
slave
woman
also,
because
he
is
your
offspring."
21:14 So
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.
21:15 When
the
water
in
the
skin
was
gone,
she
put
the
child
under
one
of
the
bushes.
21:16 Then
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.
21:17 And
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.
21:18 Up!
Lift
up
the
boy,
and
hold
him
fast
with
your
hand,
for
I
will
make
him
into
a
great
nation."
21:19 Then
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.
21:20 And
God
was
with
the
boy,
and
he
grew
up.
He
lived
in
the
wilderness
and
became
an
expert
with
the
bow.
21:21 He
lived
in
the
wilderness
of
Paran,
and
his
mother
took
a
wife
for
him
from
the
land
of
Egypt.
21:22 At
that
time
Abimelech
and
Phicol
the
commander
of
his
army
said
to
Abraham,
"God
is
with
you
in
all
that
you
do.
21:23 Now
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."
21:24 And
Abraham
said,
"I
will
swear."
21:25 When
Abraham
reproved
Abimelech
about
a
well
of
water
that
Abimelech's
servants
had
seized,
21:26 Abimelech
said,
"I
do
not
know
who
has
done
this
thing;
you
did
not
tell
me,
and
I
have
not
heard
of
it
until
today."
21:27 So
Abraham
took
sheep
and
oxen
and
gave
them
to
Abimelech,
and
the
two
men
made
a
covenant.
21:28 Abraham
set
seven
ewe
lambs
of
the
flock
apart.
21:29 And
Abimelech
said
to
Abraham,
"What
is
the
meaning
of
these
seven
ewe
lambs
that
you
have
set
apart"
21:30 He
said,
"These
seven
ewe
lambs
you
will
take
from
my
hand,
that
this
may
be
a
witness
for
me
that
I
dug
this
well."
21:31 Therefore
that
place
was
called
Beersheba,
because
there
both
of
them
swore
an
oath.
21:32 So
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.
21:33 Abraham
planted
a
tamarisk
tree
in
Beersheba
and
called
there
on
the
name
of
the
LORD,
the
Everlasting
God.
21:34 And
Abraham
sojourned
many
days
in
the
land
of
the
Philistines.
