The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

Gen 21:1 And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken.

Gen 21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

Gen 21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

Gen 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

Gen 21:5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

Gen 21:6 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

Gen 21:7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

Gen 21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

Gen 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Ha´gar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

Gen 21:10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

Gen 21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.

Gen 21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Gen 21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

Gen 21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Ha´gar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Be´-er–she´-ba.

Gen 21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

Gen 21:16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.

Gen 21:17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Ha´gar out of Heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Ha´-gar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

Gen 21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

Gen 21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

Gen 21:20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

Gen 21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pa´-ran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

Gen 21:22 And it came to pass at that time, that A-bim´-e-lech and Phi´-chol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:

Gen 21:23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

Gen 21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear.

Gen 21:25 And Abraham reproved A-bim´e-lech because of a well of water, which A-bim´-e-lech’s servants had violently taken away.

Gen 21:26 And A-bim´-e-lech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.

Gen 21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto A-bim´-elech; and both of them made a covenant.

Gen 21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

Gen 21:29 And A-bim´-e-lech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

Gen 21:30 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.

Gen 21:31 Wherefore he called that place Be´-er–she´-ba; because there they sware both of them.

Gen 21:32 Thus they made a covenant at Be´-er–she´-ba: then A-bim´-e-lech rose up, and Phi´-chol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Phi-lis´-tines.

Gen 21:33 And Abraham planted a grove in Be´-er–she´-ba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.

Gen 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the Phi-lis´-tines’ land many days.
