1. The LORD came to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
|
1. And the LORD H3068 visited H6485 H853 Sarah H8283 as H834 he had said H559 , and the LORD H3068 did H6213 unto Sarah H8283 as H834 he had spoken H1696 .
|
|
2. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time God had told him.
|
2. For Sarah H8283 conceived H2029 , and bore H3205 Abraham H85 a son H1121 in his old age H2208 , at the set time H4150 of which H834 God H430 had spoken H1696 to him.
|
|
3. Abraham named his son who was born to him-- the one Sarah bore to him-- Isaac.
|
3. And Abraham H85 called H7121 H853 the name H8034 of his son H1121 that was born H3205 unto him, whom H834 Sarah H8283 bore H3205 to him, Isaac H3327 .
|
|
4. When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
|
4. And Abraham H85 circumcised H4135 his son H1121 Isaac H3327 being eight H8083 days H3117 old H1121 , as H834 God H430 had commanded H6680 him.
|
|
5. Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
|
5. And Abraham H85 was a hundred H3967 years H8141 old H1121 , when H853 his son H1121 Isaac H3327 was born H3205 unto him.
|
|
6. Sarah said, "God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears will laugh with me."
|
6. And Sarah H8283 said H559 , God H430 hath made H6213 me to laugh H6712 , so that all H3605 that hear H8085 will laugh H6711 with me.
|
|
7. She also said, "Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age."
|
7. And she said H559 , Who H4310 would have said H4448 unto Abraham H85 , that Sarah H8283 should have given children suck H3243 H1121 ? for H3588 I have born H3205 him a son H1121 in his old age H2208 .
|
|
8. The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
|
8. And the child H3206 grew H1431 , and was weaned H1580 : and Abraham H85 made H6213 a great H1419 feast H4960 the same day H3117 that H853 Isaac H3327 was weaned H1580 .
|
|
9. But Sarah saw the son mocking-- the one Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham.
|
9. And Sarah H8283 saw H7200 H853 the son H1121 of Hagar H1904 the Egyptian H4713 , which H834 she had born H3205 unto Abraham H85 , mocking H6711 .
|
|
10. So she said to Abraham, "Drive out this slave with her son, for the son of this slave will not be a co-heir with my son Isaac!"
|
10. Wherefore she said H559 unto Abraham H85 , Cast out H1644 this H2063 bondwoman H519 and her son H1121 : for H3588 the son H1121 of this H2063 bondwoman H519 shall not H3808 be heir H3423 with H5973 my son H1121 , even with H5973 Isaac H3327 .
|
|
11. Now this was a very difficult thing for Abraham because of his son.
|
11. And the thing H1697 was very grievous H7489 H3966 in Abraham H85 's sight H5869 because H5921 H182 of his son H1121 .
|
|
12. But God said to Abraham, "Do not be concerned about the boy and your slave. Whatever Sarah says to you, listen to her, because your offspring will be traced through Isaac.
|
12. And God H430 said H559 unto H413 Abraham H85 , Let it not H408 be grievous H7489 in thy sight H5869 because of H5921 the lad H5288 , and because of H5921 thy bondwoman H519 ; in all H3605 that H834 Sarah H8283 hath said H559 unto H413 thee, hearken H8085 unto her voice H6963 ; for H3588 in Isaac H3327 shall thy seed H2233 be called H7121 .
|
|
13. But I will also make a nation of the slave's son because he is your offspring."
|
13. And also H1571 H853 of the son H1121 of the bondwoman H519 will I make H7760 a nation H1471 , because H3588 he H1931 is thy seed H2233 .
|
|
14. Early in the morning Abraham got up, took bread and a waterskin, put them on Hagar's shoulders, and sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beer-sheba.
|
14. And Abraham H85 rose up early H7925 in the morning H1242 , and took H3947 bread H3899 , and a bottle H2573 of water H4325 , and gave H5414 it unto H413 Hagar H1904 , putting H7760 it on H5921 her shoulder H7926 , and the child H3206 , and sent her away H7971 : and she departed H1980 , and wandered H8582 in the wilderness H4057 of Beer H884 -sheba.
|
|
15. When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
|
15. And the water H4325 was spent H3615 in H4480 the bottle H2573 , and she cast H7993 H853 the child H3206 under H8478 one H259 of the shrubs H7880 .
|
|
16. Then she went and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, "I can't bear to watch the boy die!" So as she sat nearby, she wept loudly.
|
16. And she went H1980 , and sat her down H3427 over against H4480 H5048 him a good way off H7368 , as it were a bowshot H2909 H7198 : for H3588 she said H559 , Let me not H408 see H7200 the death H4194 of the child H3206 . And she sat H3427 over against H4480 H5048 him , and lifted up H5375 H853 her voice H6963 , and wept H1058 .
|
|
17. God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What's wrong, Hagar? Don't be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy from the place where he is.
|
17. And God H430 heard H8085 H853 the voice H6963 of the lad H5288 ; and the angel H4397 of God H430 called H7121 to H413 Hagar H1904 out of H4480 heaven H8064 , and said H559 unto her, What H4100 aileth thee, Hagar H1904 ? fear H3372 not H408 ; for H3588 God H430 hath heard H8085 H413 the voice H6963 of the lad H5288 where H834 H8033 he H1931 is .
|
|
18. Get up, help the boy up, and sustain him, for I will make him a great nation."
|
18. Arise H6965 , lift up H5375 H853 the lad H5288 , and hold H2388 him in H854 thine hand H3027 ; for H3588 I will make H7760 him a great H1419 nation H1471 .
|
|
19. Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the waterskin and gave the boy a drink.
|
19. And God H430 opened H6491 H853 her eyes H5869 , and she saw H7200 a well H875 of water H4325 ; and she went H1980 , and filled H4390 H853 the bottle H2573 with water H4325 , and gave H853 the lad H5288 drink H8248 .
|
|
20. God was with the boy, and he grew; he settled in the wilderness and became an archer.
|
20. And God H430 was H1961 with H854 the lad H5288 ; and he grew H1431 , and dwelt H3427 in the wilderness H4057 , and became H1961 an archer H7235 H7199 .
|
|
21. He settled in the Wilderness of Paran, and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
|
21. And he dwelt H3427 in the wilderness H4057 of Paran H6290 : and his mother H517 took H3947 him a wife H802 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
22. At that time Abimelech, with Phicol the commander of his army, said to Abraham, "God is with you in everything you do.
|
22. And it came to pass H1961 at that H1931 time H6256 , that Abimelech H40 and Phichol H6369 the chief captain H8269 of his host H6635 spoke H559 unto H413 Abraham H85 , saying H559 , God H430 is with H5973 thee in all H3605 that H834 thou H859 doest H6213 :
|
|
23. Now swear to me here by God that you will not break an agreement with me or with my children and descendants. As I have kept faith with you, so you will keep faith with me and with the country where you are a resident alien."
|
23. Now H6258 therefore swear H7650 unto me here H2008 by God H430 that thou wilt not deal falsely H8266 with me , nor with my son H5209 , nor with my son's son H5220 : but according to the kindness H2617 that H834 I have done H6213 unto H5973 thee , thou shalt do H6213 unto H5978 me , and to H5973 the land H776 wherein H834 thou hast sojourned H1481 .
|
|
24. And Abraham said, "I swear it."
|
24. And Abraham H85 said H559 , I H595 will swear H7650 .
|
|
25. But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the water well that Abimelech's servants had seized.
|
25. And Abraham H85 reproved H3198 H853 Abimelech H40 because of H5921 H182 a well H875 of water H4325 , which H834 Abimelech H40 's servants H5650 had violently taken away H1497 .
|
|
26. Abimelech replied, "I don't know who did this thing. You didn't report anything to me, so I hadn't heard about it until today."
|
26. And Abimelech H40 said H559 , I know H3045 not H3808 who H4310 hath done H6213 H853 this H2088 thing H1697 : neither H3808 didst thou H859 tell H5046 me, neither H3808 yet H1571 heard H8085 I H595 of it , but H1115 today H3117 .
|
|
27. Then Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
|
27. And Abraham H85 took H3947 sheep H6629 and oxen H1241 , and gave H5414 them unto Abimelech H40 ; and both H8147 of them made H3772 a covenant H1285 .
|
|
28. But Abraham had set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock.
|
28. And Abraham H85 set H5324 H853 seven H7651 ewe lambs H3535 of the flock H6629 by themselves H905 .
|
|
29. And Abimelech said to Abraham, "Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?"
|
29. And Abimelech H40 said H559 unto H413 Abraham H85 , What H4100 mean these H428 seven H7651 ewe lambs H3535 which H834 thou hast set H5324 by themselves H905 ?
|
|
30. He replied, "You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand so that this act will serve as my witness that I dug this well."
|
30. And he said H559 , For H3588 these H853 seven H7651 ewe lambs H3535 shalt thou take H3947 of my hand H4480 H3027 , that H5668 they may be H1961 a witness H5713 unto me, that H3588 I have digged H2658 H853 this H2088 well H875 .
|
|
31. Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
|
31. Wherefore H5921 H3651 he called H7121 that H1931 place H4725 Beer H884 -sheba; because H3588 there H8033 they swore H7650 both H8147 of them.
|
|
32. After they had made a covenant at Beer-sheba, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, left and returned to the land of the Philistines.
|
32. Thus they made H3772 a covenant H1285 at Beer H884 -sheba : then Abimelech H40 rose up H6965 , and Phichol H6369 the chief captain H8269 of his host H6635 , and they returned H7725 into H413 the land H776 of the Philistines H6430 .
|
|
33. Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and there he worshiped the LORD, the Everlasting God.
|
33. And Abraham planted H5193 a grove H815 in Beer H884 -sheba , and called H7121 there H8033 on the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 , the everlasting H5769 God H410 .
|
|
34. And Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines for many days.
|
34. And Abraham H85 sojourned H1481 in the Philistines H6430 ' land H776 many H7227 days H3117 .
