Genesis - ch 21 v 1 - 20
- And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;
- and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
- and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him -- Isaac;
- and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, `being' a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
- And Abraham `is' a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
- and Sarah saith, `God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'
- She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'
- And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
- and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,
- and 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.'
- And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
- and 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.
- As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he `is' thy seed.'
- And 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;
- and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
- And 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.
- And 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';
- rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
- And 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;
- and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
