(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 Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, {so that} all that hear will laugh with me.
(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 Hagar 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 Hagar, putting {it} on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
(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 Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? 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 Paran: 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 Abimelech and Phichol 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 Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
(Gen 21:26) And Abimelech 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 Abimelech; 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 Abimelech 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 Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
(Gen 21:32) Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
(Gen 21:33) And {Abraham} planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
(Gen 21:34) And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
