And he wente in vnto Hagar/ & she conceaved. And when she sawe that
she had conceyved hyr mastresse was despised in hyr syghte. Than sayd
Sarai vnto Abram: Thou dost me vnrighte/ for I haue geuen my mayde
into thy bosome: & now because she seyth that she hath cõceaved/ I am
despysed in hyr syghte: the LORde iudge betwene the and me. Than sayde
Abrã to Sarai: beholde/ thy mayde is in thy hande/ do with hyr as it
pleaseth the.
And because Sarai fared foule with her/ she fled from her. And the
angell of the LORde founde her besyde a fountayne of water in the
wyldernes: euen by a well in the way to Sur. And he sayde: Hagar
Sarais mayde/ whence comest thou and whether wylt thou goo? And she
answered: I flee from my mastresse Sarai. And the angell of the LORde
sayde vnto her: returne to thy mastresse agayne/ & submytte thy selfe
vnder her handes.
And the angell of y^e LORde sayde vnto her: I will so encrease thy
seed/ that it shall not be numbred for multitude. And the LORdes
angell sayd further vnto her: se/ thou art wyth childe and shalt bere
a sonne/ and shalt call his name Ismael: because the LORDE hath herde
thy tribulation. He will be a wylde man/ and his hande will be agenst
every man/ & euery mans hande agenst him. And yet shall he dwell faste
by all his brothren.
And she called the name of the LORde that spake vnto her: thou art the
God that lokest on me/ for she sayde: I haue of a suertie sene here
the backe parties of him that seith me. Wherfore she called the well/
the well of the lyuynge that seith me which well is betwene Cades &
Bared.
And Hagar bare Abram a sonne/ and Abram called his sons name which
Hagar bare Ismaell. And Abram was .lxxxvi. yere olde/ when Hagar bare
him Ismael.
¶ The .xvij. Chapter.
When Abram was nynetye yere olde & ix. the LORde apeared to hym
sayenge: I am the almyghtie God: walke before me ãd be vncorrupte. And
I wyll make my bonde betwene the and me/ and wyll multiplye the
excedyngly. And Abrã fell on his face. And God talked moreover with
hym saynge: I am/ beholde my testamẽt is with the/ that thou shalt
be a father of many natiõs. Therfore/ shalt thou no more be called
Abram/ but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nations haue
I made the/ and I will multiplye the excedyngly/ and wyll make nations
of the: yes and kynges shall sprynge out of the.
Moreover I will make my bonde betwene me and the/ and thy seed after
the/ in their tymes to be an everlastynge testament/ So that I wyll
be God vnto the and to thy seed after the. And I will geue vnto the ãd
to thy seed after the/ the lande where in thou arte a straunger: Euen
all the lande of Canaan/ for an everlastynge possession/ and wil be
their God.
