[1] Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken. [2] Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. [3] Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.ⓘ [4] Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. [5] Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him. [6] Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.” [7] She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.” [8] The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. [9] Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking. [10] Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.” [11] The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son. [12] God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac. [13] I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.” [14] Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. [15] The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs. [16] She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. [17] God heard the voice of the boy.The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. [18] Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.” [19] God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink. [20] God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer. [21] He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt. [22] At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do. [23] Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.” [24] Abraham said, “I will swear.” [25] Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away. [26] Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.” [27] Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant. [28] Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. [29] Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?” [30] He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.” [31] Therefore he called that place Beersheba,ⓘ because they both swore an oath there. [32] So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines. [33] Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God. [34] Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.

[1] And the LordH3068 visitedH6485(QalPerf) SarahH8283 as he had said,H559(QalPerf) and the LordH3068 didH6213(QalImpf) unto SarahH8283 as he had spoken.H1696(PielPerf) [2] For SarahH8283 conceived,H2029(QalImpf) and bareH3205(QalImpf) AbrahamH85 a sonH1121 in his old age,H2208 at the set timeH4150 of which GodH430 had spokenH1696(PielPerf) to him. [3] And AbrahamH85 calledH7121(QalImpf) the nameH8034 of his sonH1121 that was bornH3205(NiphPtc) unto him, whom SarahH8283 bareH3205(QalPerf) to him, Isaac.H3327 [4] And AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135(QalImpf) his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 being eightH8083 daysH3117 old,H1121 as GodH430 had commandedH6680(PielPerf) him. [5] And AbrahamH85 was an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 old,H1121 when his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 was bornH3205(NiphInf) unto him. [6] And SarahH8283 said,H559(QalImpf) GodH430 hath madeH6213(QalPerf) me to laugh,H6712 [so that] all that hearH8085(QalActPtc) will laughH6711(QalImpf) with me. [7] And she said,H559(QalImpf) Who would have saidH4448(PielPerf) unto Abraham,H85 that SarahH8283 should have given childrenH1121 suck?H3243(HiphPerf) for I have bornH3205(QalPerf) [him] a sonH1121 in his old age.H2208 [8] And the childH3206 grew,H1431(QalImpf) and was weaned:H1580(NiphImpf) and AbrahamH85 madeH6213(QalImpf) a greatH1419 feastH4960 the [same] dayH3117 that IsaacH3327 was weaned.H1580(NiphInf) [9] And SarahH8283 sawH7200(QalImpf) the sonH1121 of HagarH1904 the Egyptian,H4713 which she had bornH3205(QalPerf) unto Abraham,H85 mocking.H6711(PielPtc) [10] Wherefore she saidH559(QalImpf) unto Abraham,H85 Cast outH1644(PielImpv) this bondwomanH519 and her son:H1121 for the sonH1121 of this bondwomanH519 shall not be heirH3423(QalImpf) with my son,H1121 [even] with Isaac.H3327 [11] And the thingH1697 was veryH3966 grievousH3415(QalImpf) in Abraham’sH85 sightH5869 becauseH182 of his son.H1121 [12] And GodH430 saidH559(QalImpf) unto Abraham,H85 Let it not be grievousH3415(QalImpf) in thy sightH5869 because of the lad,H5288 and because of thy bondwoman;H519 in all that SarahH8283 hath saidH559(QalImpf) unto thee, hearkenH8085(QalImpv) unto her voice;H6963 for in IsaacH3327 shall thy seedH2233 be called.H7121(NiphImpf) [13] And also of the sonH1121 of the bondwomanH519 will I makeH7760(QalImpf) a nation,H1471 because he [is] thy seed.H2233 [14] And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925(HiphImpf) in the morning,H1242 and tookH3947(QalImpf) bread,H3899 and a bottleH2573 of water,H4325 and gaveH5414(QalImpf) [it] unto Hagar,H1904 puttingH7760(QalPerf) [it] on her shoulder,H7926 and the child,H3206 and sent her away:H7971(PielImpf) and she departed,H3212(QalImpf) and wanderedH8582(QalImpf) in the wildernessH4057 of Beersheba.H884 [15] And the waterH4325 was spentH3615(QalImpf) inH4480 the bottle,H2573 and she castH7993(HiphImpf) the childH3206 under oneH259 of the shrubs.H7880 [16] And she went,H3212(QalImpf) and sat her downH3427(QalImpf) over againstH5048 [him] a good way off,H7368(HiphInf) as it were a bowshot:H2909(PielPtc) for she said,H559(QalPerf) Let me not seeH7200(QalImpf) the deathH4194 of the child.H3206 And she satH3427(QalImpf) over against [him], and lift upH5375(QalImpf) her voice,H6963 and wept.H1058(QalImpf) [17] And GodH430 heardH8085(QalPerf) the voiceH6963 of the lad;H5288 and the angelH4397 of GodH430 calledH7121(QalImpf) to HagarH1904 out of heaven,H8064 and saidH559(QalImpf) unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar?H1904 fearH3372(QalImpf) not; for GodH430 hath heardH8085(QalImpf) the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288 where he [is]. [18] Arise,H6965(QalImpv) lift upH5375(QalImpv) the lad,H5288 and holdH2388(HiphImpv) him in thine hand;H3027 for I will makeH7760(QalImpf) him a greatH1419 nation.H1471 [19] And GodH430 openedH6491(QalImpf) her eyes,H5869 and she sawH7200(QalImpf) a wellH875 of water;H4325 and she went,H3212(QalImpf) and filledH4390(PielImpf) the bottleH2573 with water,H4325 and gaveH8248 the ladH5288 drink.H8248(HiphImpf) [20] And GodH430 was with the lad;H5288 and he grew,H1431(QalImpf) and dweltH3427(QalImpf) in the wilderness,H4057 and became an archer.H7235(QalActPtc) [21] And he dweltH3427(QalImpf) in the wildernessH4057 of Paran:H6290 and his motherH517 tookH3947(QalImpf) him a wifeH802 out of the landH776 of Egypt.H4714 [22] And it came to pass at that time,H6256 that AbimelechH40 and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his hostH6635 spakeH559(QalImpf) unto Abraham,H85 saying,H559(QalInf) GodH430 [is] with thee in all that thou doest:H6213(QalActPtc) [23] Now therefore swearH7650(NiphImpv) unto me hereH2008 by GodH430 that thou wilt not deal falselyH8266(QalImpf) with me, nor with my son,H5209 nor with my son’s son:H5220 [but] according to the kindnessH2617 that I have doneH6213(QalPerf) unto thee, thou shalt doH6213(QalImpf) unto me, and to the landH776 wherein thou hast sojourned.H1481(QalPerf) [24] And AbrahamH85 said,H559(QalImpf) I will swear.H7650(NiphImpf) [25] And AbrahamH85 reprovedH3198(HiphPerf) AbimelechH40 becauseH182 of a wellH875 of water,H4325 which Abimelech’sH40 servantsH5650 had violently taken away.H1497(QalPerf) [26] And AbimelechH40 said,H559(QalImpf) I wotH3045(QalPerf) not who hath doneH6213(QalPerf) this thing:H1697 neitherH3808 didst thou tellH5046(HiphPerf) me, neitherH3808 yet heardH8085(QalPerf) I [of it], butH1115 to day.H3117 [27] And AbrahamH85 tookH3947(QalImpf) sheepH6629 and oxen,H1241 and gaveH5414(QalImpf) them unto Abimelech;H40 and both of themH8147 madeH3772(QalImpf) a covenant.H1285 [28] And AbrahamH85 setH5324(HiphImpf) sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 of the flockH6629 by themselves. [29] And AbimelechH40 saidH559(QalImpf) unto Abraham,H85 WhatH2008 [mean] these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 which thou hast setH5324(HiphPerf) by themselves? [30] And he said,H559(QalImpf) For [these] sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 shalt thou takeH3947(QalImpf) of my hand,H3027 thatH5668 they may be a witnessH5713 unto me, that I have diggedH2658(QalPerf) this well.H875 [31] Wherefore he calledH7121(QalPerf) that placeH4725 Beersheba;H884 because there they swareH7650(NiphPerf) both of them.H8147 [32] Thus they madeH3772(QalImpf) a covenantH1285 at Beersheba:H884 then AbimelechH40 rose up,H6965(QalImpf) and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his host,H6635 and they returnedH7725(QalImpf) into the landH776 of the Philistines.H6430 [33] And [Abraham] plantedH5193(QalImpf) a groveH815 in Beersheba,H884 and calledH7121(QalImpf) there on the nameH8034 of the Lord,H3068 the everlastingH5769 God.H410 [34] And AbrahamH85 sojournedH1481(QalImpf) in the Philistines’H6430 landH776 manyH7227 days.H3117
