YLT - Genesis - 21

21:1  And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;

21:2  and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;

21:3  and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him--Isaac;

21:4  and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, being a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.

21:5  And Abraham is a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,

21:6  and Sarah saith, `God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'

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

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

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

21:10  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.'

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

21:12  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.

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

21:14  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;

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

21:16  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.

21:17  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 ;

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

21:19  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;

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

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

21:22  And 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;

21:23  and 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.'

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

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

21:26  and 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.'

21:27  And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;

21:28  and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.

21:29  And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, `What are they--these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'

21:30  And he saith, `For--the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'

21:31  therefore hath he called that place `Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.

21:32  And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth--Phichol also, head of his host--and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;

21:33  and Abraham planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;

21:34  and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
