020:017 Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children. 020:018 For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. 021:001 Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken. 021:002 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 021:003 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.{Isaac means "He laughs."} 021:004 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. 021:005 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him. 021:006 Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me." 021:007 She said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age." 021:008 The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 021:009 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking. 021:010 Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this handmaid and her son! For the son of this handmaid will not be heir with my son, Isaac." 021:011 The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son. 021:012 God said to Abraham, "Don't let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your handmaid. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your seed be called. 021:013 I will also make a nation of the son of the handmaid, because he is your seed." 021:014 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. 021:015 The water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 021:016 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, "Don't let me see the death of the child." She sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. 021:017 God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, "What ails you, Hagar? Don't be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 021:018 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation." 021:019 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink. 021:020 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer. 021:021 He lived in the wilderness of Paran.
