The lord visited Sara as he had said and did unto her according as he
had spoken. {promised} And Sara was with child and bare Abraham a son
in his old age even the same season which the Lorde {|God|} had
appointed. And Abraham called his son's name that was born unto him
which Sara bare him Isaac: and Abraham circumcised Isaac his son when
he was eight days old, as God commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred
year old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sara said: God hath
made me a laughing stock: for all that hear, will laugh at me. She said
also: who would have said unto Abraham, that Sara should have given
children suck, or that I should have borne him a son in his old age:
The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast, the same
day that Isaac was weaned. Sara saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian which
she had borne unto Abraham, a mocking. Then she said unto Abraham: put
away this bondmaid and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not
be heir with my son Isaac: But the word seemed very grievous in
Abraham's sight, because of his son. Then the Lorde {|God|} said unto
Abraham: let it not be grievous unto thee, because of the lad and of
thy bondmaid: But in all that Sara hath said unto thee, hear her voice,
for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Moreover of the son of the
bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. And Abraham
rose up early in the morning and took bread and a bottle with water,
and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulders with the lad also,
and sent her away. And she departed and wandered up and down in the
wilderness of Berseba. When the water was spent that was in the bottle,
she cast the lad under a bush and went and sat her out of sight a great
way, as it were a bowshot off: For she said: I will not see the lad
die. And she sat down out of sight, and lift up her voice and wept. And
God heard the voice of the child. And the angel of God called Hagar out
of heaven and said unto her: What aileth thee Hagar? Fear not, for God
hath heard the voice of the child where he lieth. Arise and lift up the
lad, and take him in thy hand, for I will make of him a great people.
And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. And she went and
filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink. And God was with
the lad, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan. And his mother got him a wife
out of thee, land of Egypt. And it chanced the same season, that
Abimelech and Phicol his chief captain spake unto Abraham saying: God
is with thee in all that thou doest. Now therefore swear unto me even
here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me nor my children, nor my
children's children. But that thou shalt deal with me and the country
where thou art a stranger, according unto the kindness that I have
shewed thee. Then said Abraham: I will swear. And Abraham rebuked
Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had taken
