Genesis 21

1And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

וַיהוָה פָּקַד אֶת־שָׂרָה כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמָר וַיַּעַשׂ יְהוָה לְשָׂרָה כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּר׃ (3558)

2For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד שָׂרָה לְאַבְרָהָם בֵּן לִזְקֻנָיו לַמֹּועֵד אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אֹתֹו אֱלֹהִים׃ (3439)

3And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

וַיִּקְרָא אַבְרָהָם אֶת־שֶׁם־בְּנֹו הַנֹּולַד־לֹו אֲשֶׁר־יָלְדָה־לֹּו שָׂרָה יִצְחָק׃ (2794)

4And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

וַיָּמָל אַבְרָהָם אֶת־יִצְחָק בְּנֹו בֶּן־שְׁמֹנַת יָמִים כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֹתֹו אֱלֹהִים׃ (3058)

5And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

וְאַבְרָהָם בֶּן־מְאַת שָׁנָה בְּהִוָּלֶד לֹו אֵת יִצְחָק בְּנֹו׃ (1852)

6And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

וַתֹּאמֶר שָׂרָה צְחֹק עָשָׂה לִי אֱלֹהִים כָּל־הַשֹּׁמֵעַ יִצְחַק־לִי׃ (2564)

7And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

וַתֹּאמֶר מִי מִלֵּל לְאַבְרָהָם הֵינִיקָה בָנִים שָׂרָה כִּי־יָלַדְתִּי בֵן לִזְקֻנָיו׃ (2601)

8And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

וַיִּגְדַּל הַיֶּלֶד וַיִּגָּמַל וַיַּעַשׂ אַבְרָהָם מִשְׁתֶּה גָדֹול בְּיֹום הִגָּמֵל אֶת־יִצְחָק׃ (2358)

9And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

וַתֵּרֶא שָׂרָה אֶת־בֶּן־הָגָר הַמִּצְרִית אֲשֶׁר־יָלְדָה לְאַבְרָהָם מְצַחֵק׃ (3584)

10Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

וַתֹּאמֶר לְאַבְרָהָם גָּרֵשׁ הָאָמָה הַזֹּאת וְאֶת־בְּנָהּ כִּי לֹא יִירַשׁ בֶּן־הָאָמָה הַזֹּאת עִם־בְּנִי עִם־יִצְחָק׃ (3943)

11And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.

וַיֵּרַע הַדָּבָר מְאֹד בְּעֵינֵי אַבְרָהָם עַל אֹודֹת בְּנֹו׃ (1501)

12And God said unto Abraham, 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 Isaac shall thy seed be called.

וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־אַבְרָהָם אַל־יֵרַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ עַל־הַנַּעַר וְעַל־אֲמָתֶךָ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמַר אֵלֶיךָ שָׂרָה שְׁמַע בְּקֹלָהּ כִּי בְיִצְחָק יִקָּרֵא לְךָ זָרַע׃ (5270)

13And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

וְגַם אֶת־בֶּן־הָאָמָה לְגֹוי אֲשִׂימֶנּוּ כִּי זַרְעֲךָ הוּא׃ (1348)

14And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

וַיַּשְׁכֵּם אַבְרָהָם ׀ בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּקַּח־לֶחֶם וְחֵמַת מַיִם וַיִּתֵּן אֶל־הָגָר שָׂם עַל־שִׁכְמָהּ וְאֶת־הַיֶּלֶד וַיְשַׁלְּחֶהָ וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתֵּתַע בְּמִדְבַּר בְּאֵר שָׁבַע׃ (6154)

15And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

וַיִּכְלוּ הַמַּיִם מִן־הַחֵמֶת וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד תַּחַת אַחַד הַשִּׂיחִם׃ (3100)

16And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: 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.

וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתֵּשֶׁב לָהּ מִנֶּגֶד הַרְחֵק כִּמְטַחֲוֵי קֶשֶׁת כִּי אָמְרָה אַל־אֶרְאֶה בְּמֹות הַיָּלֶד וַתֵּשֶׁב מִנֶּגֶד וַתִּשָּׂא אֶת־קֹלָהּ וַתֵּבְךְּ׃ (5989)

17And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

וַיִּשְׁמַע אֱלֹהִים אֶת־קֹול הַנַּעַר וַיִּקְרָא מַלְאַךְ אֱלֹהִים ׀ אֶל־הָגָר מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ מַה־לָּךְ הָגָר אַל־תִּירְאִי כִּי־שָׁמַע אֱלֹהִים אֶל־קֹול הַנַּעַר בַּאֲשֶׁר הוּא־שָׁם׃ (5712)

18Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

קוּמִי שְׂאִי אֶת־הַנַּעַר וְהַחֲזִיקִי אֶת־יָדֵךְ בֹּו כִּי־לְגֹוי גָּדֹול אֲשִׂימֶנּוּ׃ (2311)

19And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

וַיִּפְקַח אֱלֹהִים אֶת־עֵינֶיהָ וַתֵּרֶא בְּאֵר מָיִם וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתְּמַלֵּא אֶת־הַחֵמֶת מַיִם וַתַּשְׁקְ אֶת־הַנָּעַר׃ (5145)

20And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

וַיְהִי אֱלֹהִים אֶת־הַנַּעַר וַיִּגְדָּל וַיֵּשֶׁב בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיְהִי רֹבֶה קַשָּׁת׃ (2500)

21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּמִדְבַּר פָּארָן וַתִּקַּח־לֹו אִמֹּו אִשָּׁה מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ (2511)

22And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:

וַיְהִי בָּעֵת הַהִוא וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וּפִיכֹל שַׂר־צְבָאֹו אֶל־אַבְרָהָם לֵאמֹר אֱלֹהִים עִמְּךָ בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה׃ (3725)

23Now therefore swear unto me here by God 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.

וְעַתָּה הִשָּׁבְעָה לִּי בֵאלֹהִים הֵנָּה אִם־תִּשְׁקֹר לִי וּלְנִינִי וּלְנֶכְדִּי כַּחֶסֶד אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתִי עִמְּךָ תַּעֲשֶׂה עִמָּדִי וְעִם־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־גַּרְתָּה בָּהּ׃ (6348)

24And Abraham said, I will swear.

וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְרָהָם אָנֹכִי אִשָּׁבֵעַ׃ (959)

25And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

וְהֹוכִחַ אַבְרָהָם אֶת־אֲבִימֶלֶךְ עַל־אֹדֹות בְּאֵר הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר גָּזְלוּ עַבְדֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ׃ (2342)

26And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.

וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִימֶלֶךְ לֹא יָדַעְתִּי מִי עָשָׂה אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וְגַם־אַתָּה לֹא־הִגַּדְתָּ לִּי וְגַם אָנֹכִי לֹא שָׁמַעְתִּי בִּלְתִּי הַיֹּום׃ (4361)

27And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

וַיִּקַּח אַבְרָהָם צֹאן וּבָקָר וַיִּתֵּן לַאֲבִימֶלֶךְ וַיִּכְרְתוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם בְּרִית׃ (3079)

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

וַיַּצֵּב אַבְרָהָם אֶת־שֶׁבַע כִּבְשֹׂת הַצֹּאן לְבַדְּהֶן׃ (2088)

29And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִימֶלֶךְ אֶל־אַבְרָהָם מָה הֵנָּה שֶׁבַע כְּבָשֹׂת הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר הִצַּבְתָּ לְבַדָּנָה׃ (2968)

30And 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.

וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי אֶת־שֶׁבַע כְּבָשֹׂת תִּקַּח מִיָּדִי בַּעֲבוּר תִּהְיֶה־לִּי לְעֵדָה כִּי חָפַרְתִּי אֶת־הַבְּאֵר הַזֹּאת׃ (4953)

31Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.

עַל־כֵּן קָרָא לַמָּקֹום הַהוּא בְּאֵר שָׁבַע כִּי שָׁם נִשְׁבְּעוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם׃ (2482)

32Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

וַיִּכְרְתוּ בְרִית בִּבְאֵר שָׁבַע וַיָּקָם אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וּפִיכֹל שַׂר־צְבָאֹו וַיָּשֻׁבוּ אֶל־אֶרֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּים׃ (4341)

33And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

וַיִּטַּע אֶשֶׁל בִּבְאֵר שָׁבַע וַיִּקְרָא־שָׁם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה אֵל עֹולָם׃ (2205)

34And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.

וַיָּגָר אַבְרָהָם בְּאֶרֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּים יָמִים רַבִּים׃ (1972)
