1And יהוה visited Sarah as He had said, and יהוה did for Sarah as He had spoken.

2So Sarah conceived and bore Aḇraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which Elohim had spoken to him.

3And Aḇraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Yitsḥaq.

4And Aḇraham circumcised his son Yitsḥaq when he was eight days old, as Elohim had commanded him.

5And Aḇraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitsḥaq was born to him.

6And Sarah said, “Elohim has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of it laughs with me.”

7And she said, “Who would have said to Aḇraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8And the child grew and was weaned, and Aḇraham made a great feast on the day that Yitsḥaq was weaned.

9And Sarah saw the son of Hag̅ar the Mitsrite, whom she had borne to Aḇraham, mocking.

10So she said to Aḇraham, “Drive out this female servant and her son, for the son of this female servant shall not inherit with my son, with Yitsḥaq.”

11And the matter was very evil in the eyes of Aḇraham because of his son.

12But Elohim said to Aḇraham, “Let it not be evil in your eyes because of the boy and because of your female servant. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice, for in Yitsḥaq your seed is called.

13“And of the son of the female servant I also make a nation, because he is your seed.”

14And Aḇraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, which he gave to Hag̅ar, putting it on her shoulder, also the boy, and sent her away. And she left and wandered in the Wilderness of Be’ĕrsheḇa.

15And the water in the skin was used up, and she placed the boy under one of the shrubs.

16And she went and sat down about a bowshot away, for she said, “Let me not see the death of the boy.” And she sat opposite him, and lifted her voice and wept.

17And Elohim heard the voice of the boy, and the messenger of Elohim called to Hag̅ar from the heavens, and said to her, “What is the matter with you, Hag̅ar? Do not fear, for Elohim has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

18“Arise, lift up the boy and hold him with your hand, for I make a great nation of him.”

19And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink.

20And Elohim was with the boy, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

21And he dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Mitsrayim.

22And it came to be at that time that Aḇimeleḵ and Piḵol, the commander of his army, spoke to Aḇraham, saying, “Elohim is with you in all that you do.

23“And now, swear to me by Elohim, not to be untrue to me, to my offspring, or to my descendants. Do to me according to the kindness that I have done to you and to the land in which you have dwelt.”

24And Aḇraham said, “I swear.”

25And Aḇraham reproved Aḇimeleḵ because of a well of water which Aḇimeleḵ’s servants had seized.

26And Aḇimeleḵ said, “I do not know who has done this deed. Neither did you inform me, nor did I hear until today.”

27So Aḇraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Aḇimeleḵ, and the two of them made a covenant.

28And Aḇraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

29And Aḇimeleḵ asked Aḇraham, “What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?”

30And he said, “Take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, to be my witness that I have dug this well.”

31So he called that place Be’ĕrsheḇa, because the two of them swore an oath there.

32Thus they made a covenant at Be’ĕrsheḇa. And Aḇimeleḵ rose with Piḵol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.

33And he planted a tamarisk tree in Be’ĕrsheḇa, and there called on the Name of יהוה, the Everlasting Ěl.

34And Aḇraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
