| 1. |
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken. |
| 2. |
For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. |
| 3. |
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. |
| 4. |
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him. |
| 5. |
And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him. |
| 6. |
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. |
| 7. |
And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? for I have borne him a son in his old age. |
| 8. |
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned. |
| 9. |
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking. |
| 10. |
Wherefore, she said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman, and her son: for the son of this bond-woman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. |
| 11. |
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son. |
| 12. |
And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond-woman; in all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. |
| 13. |
And also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. |
| 14. |
And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar (putting it on her shoulder) and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. |
| 15. |
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. |
| 16. |
And she went, and sat her down over against him, a good way off, as it were a bow-shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and raised her voice, and wept. |
| 17. |
And God heard the voice of the lad: and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. |
| 18. |
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand: for I will make him a great nation. |
| 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. |
| 20. |
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. |
| 21. |
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt. |
