Genesis 21

1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.ERV — Genesis 21:1

2 And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.ERV — Genesis 21:2

3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.ERV — Genesis 21:3

4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.ERV — Genesis 21:4

5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.ERV — Genesis 21:5

6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.ERV — Genesis 21:6

7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.ERV — Genesis 21:7

8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.ERV — Genesis 21:8

9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.ERV — Genesis 21:9

10 Wherefore 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.ERV — Genesis 21:10

11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.ERV — Genesis 21:11

12 And 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 saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.ERV — Genesis 21:12

13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.ERV — Genesis 21:13

14 And 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 Beer-sheba.ERV — Genesis 21:14

15 And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.ERV — Genesis 21:15

16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.ERV — Genesis 21:16

17 And 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.ERV — Genesis 21:17

18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.ERV — Genesis 21:18

19 And 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.ERV — Genesis 21:19

20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.ERV — Genesis 21:20

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

22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:ERV — Genesis 21:22

23 now 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.ERV — Genesis 21:23

24 And Abraham said, I will swear.ERV — Genesis 21:24

25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.ERV — Genesis 21:25

26 And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.ERV — Genesis 21:26

27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.ERV — Genesis 21:27

28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.ERV — Genesis 21:28

29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?ERV — Genesis 21:29

30 And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.ERV — Genesis 21:30

31 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.ERV — Genesis 21:31

32 So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.ERV — Genesis 21:32

33 And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.ERV — Genesis 21:33

34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.ERV — Genesis 21:34
