KJV_Strong : Genesis 21
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. 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. 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. 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. And Abraham[H85] was a hundred[H3967] years[H8141] old,[H1121] when[H853] his son[H1121] Isaac[H3327] was born[H3205] unto him.
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. And the thing[H1697] was very grievous[H7489] [H3966] in Abraham's[H85] sight[H5869] because[H5921] [H182] of his son.[H1121]
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. 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. 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-sheba.[H884]
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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[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[H85] said,[H559] I[H595] will swear.[H7650]
25. And Abraham[H85] reproved[H3198] [H853] Abimelech[H40] because of[H5921] [H182] a well[H875] of water,[H4325] which[H834] Abimelech's[H40] servants[H5650] had violently taken away.[H1497]
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. 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. And Abraham[H85] set[H5324] [H853] seven[H7651] ewe lambs[H3535] of the flock[H6629] by themselves.[H905]
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. 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. Wherefore[H5921] [H3651] he called[H7121] that[H1931] place[H4725] Beer-sheba;[H884] because[H3588] there[H8033] they swore[H7650] both[H8147] of them.
32. Thus they made[H3772] a covenant[H1285] at Beer-sheba:[H884] 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. And Abraham planted[H5193] a grove[H815] in Beer-sheba,[H884] and called[H7121] there[H8033] on the name[H8034] of the LORD,[H3068] the everlasting[H5769] God.[H410]
34. And Abraham[H85] sojourned[H1481] in the Philistines'[H6430] land[H776] many[H7227] days.[H3117]
