创21:7She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'

创21:8And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;

创21:9and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,

创21:10and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son -- with Isaac.'

创21:11And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;

创21:12and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee -- hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.

创21:13As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he is thy seed.'

创21:14And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing it on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;

创21:15and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.

创21:16And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.

创21:17And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he is;

创21:18rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'

创21:19And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle with water, and causeth the youth to drink;

创21:20and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;

创21:21and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.

创21:22And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh -- Phichol also, head of his host -- unto Abraham, saying, 'God is with thee in all that thou art doing;

创21:23and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'

创21:24And Abraham saith, 'I -- I do swear.'

创21:25And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,

创21:26and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
