21:1 And YHWH (יהוה) visited Sarah as he had said, and YHWH (יהוה) did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bore Avraham a son in his old age, at the moed (set time) of which Elohim (אלהים) had spoken to him.
21:3 And Avraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Yitzchak (יצחק).
21:4 And Avraham circumcised his son Yitzchak (יצחק) when he was eight days old, as Elohim (אלהים) had commanded him.
21:5 (v) And Avraham was one hundred years old, when his son Yitzchak (יצחק) was born unto him.
21:6 And Sarah said:
"Elohim (אלהים) hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear will laugh with me."
21:7 And she said:
"Who would have said unto Avraham, that Sarah should have given children suck?"
For I have born [him] a son in his old age.
21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Avraham made a great feast the [same] day that Yitzchak (יצחק) was weaned.
21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar (הגר) the Mitzrites, which she had born unto Avraham, metzachek (mocking, scoffing).
21:10 Wherefore she said unto Avraham:
"Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, [even] with Yitzchak (יצחק)."
21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Avraham's sight because of his son.
21:12 And Elohim (אלהים) said unto Avraham:
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 Yitz'chak (יצחק) shall thy zera (descendants) be called.
21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy zera (descendants).
21:14 And Avraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a skin of water, and gave [it] unto Hagar (הגר), putting [it] on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Be'er Sheva (בּאר שׁבע).
21:15 And the water in the skin was used up, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
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."
21:17 And Elohim (אלהים) heard the voice of the lad; and the malak (מלאך) Elohim (אלהים) called to Hagar (הגר) out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar (הגר)? fear not; for Elohim (אלהים) hath heard the voice of the lad where he [is].
21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
21:19 And Elohim (אלהים) opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad drink.
21:20 And Elohim (אלהים) was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of eretz Mitzrayim.
21:22(vi) And it came to pass at that time, that Avi-Melekh and Pikhol the chief captain of his host spake unto Avraham, saying, Elohim (אלהים) [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
21:23 Now therefore swear unto me here by Elohim (אלהים) 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.
21:24 And Avraham said, I will swear.
21:25 And Avraham reproved Avi-Melekh because of a well of water, which Avi-Melekh's avadim had violently taken away.
21:26 And Avi-Melekh said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it], but to day.
21:27 And Avraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Avi-Melekh; and both of them made a Brit.
21:28 And Avraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
21:29 And Avi-Melekh said unto Avraham:
What [mean] these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
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.
21:31 Wherefore he called that place Be'er Sheva (בּאר שׁבע); because there they sware both of them.
21:32 Thus they made a covenant at Be'er Sheva (בּאר שׁבע): then Avi-Melekh rose up, and Pikhol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into eretz the Pelishti.
21:33 And [Avraham] planted a grove in Beer Sheva (בּאר שׁבע), and called there on the Name of YHWH (יהוה), the everlasting Elohim (אלהים).
21:34 And Avraham sojourned in the Pelishti' land many days.
