1 And YHWH had looked after Sarah as He had said, and YHWH did to Sarah as He had spoken. 2 And Sarah conceived, and bears a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God had spoken of with him. 3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah had borne to him—Isaac. 4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being a son of eight days, as God had commanded him. 5 And Abraham was a son of one hundred years in his son Isaac being born to him, 6 and Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me. Everyone who is hearing laughs for me.” 7 She also said, “Who has said to Abraham, Sarah has suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?” 8 And the boy grew, and was weaned, and Abraham made a great banquet in the day of Isaac’s being weaned. 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking, 10 and she said to Abraham, “Cast out this handmaid and her son. For the son of this handmaid has no possession with my son—with Isaac.” 11 And the thing was very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake. 12 And God said to Abraham, “Let it not be wrong in your eyes because of the youth, and because of your handmaid: all that Sarah says to you—listen to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to you. 13 As for the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he is your seed.” 14 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar (placing it on her shoulder), also the boy, and sent her out. And she goes on, and goes astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba. 15 And the water was consumed from the bottle, and she placed the boy under one of the shrubs. 16 And she goes and sat by herself opposite him, far off, about a bow-shot, for she said, “Do not let me look on the death of the boy”. And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. 17 And God heard the voice of the youth. And the messenger of God called to Hagar from the heavens and said to her, “What to you, Hagar? Do not fear. For God has listened to the voice of the youth where he is. 18 Rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with your hand, for I have set him for a great nation.” 19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and she goes and filled the bottle with water, and caused the youth to drink. 20 and God was with the youth, and he grew, and stayed in the wilderness, and was an archer. 21 And he stayed in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took for him a wife from the land of Egypt. 22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke—Phichol also, head of his host—to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you are doing. 23 And now, swear to me by God here: you do not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with you—do with me, and with the land in which you have sojourned.” 24 And Abraham said, “I swear.” 25 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away, 26 and Abimelech said, “I have not known who has done this thing, and even you did not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard except today.” 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech, and they made, both of them, a covenant. 28 And Abraham set seven lambs of the flock by themselves. 29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What are they—these seven lambs which you have set by themselves?” 30 And he said, “For—the seven lambs you accept from my hand, so that it becomes a witness for me that I have dug this well”. 31 Therefore he had called that place “Beer-Sheba,” for both of them had sworn there. 32 And they made a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech rose—Phichol also, head of his host—and they returned to the land of the Philistines. 33 And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-Sheba, and preached there in the name of YHWH, the perpetual God. 34 And Abraham sojourns in the land of the Philistines for many days.
