01:020:008 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called
all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men
were sore afraid.
01:020:009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast
thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast
brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto
me that ought not to be done.
01:020:010 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou
hast done this thing?
01:020:011 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God
is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
01:020:012 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my
father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
01:020:013 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my
father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou
shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He
is my brother.
01:020:014 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his
wife.
01:020:015 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell
where it pleaseth thee.
01:020:016 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a
thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the
eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was
reproved.
01:020:017 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and
his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
01:020:018 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house
of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
01:021:001 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did
unto Sarah as he had spoken.
01:021:002 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age,
at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
01:021:003 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto
him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
01:021:004 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old,
as God had commanded him.
01:021:005 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was
born unto him.
01:021:006 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that
hear will laugh with me.
01:021:007 And 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.
01:021:008 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great
feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
01:021:009 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had
born unto Abraham, mocking.
01:021:010 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.
01:021:011 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because
of his son.
