The Latter Days - Genesis Chapter 21

Gen 21:1 And the LORD [03068] visited [06485] (8804) Sarah [08283] as he had said [0559] (8804), and the LORD [03068] did [06213] (8799) unto Sarah [08283] as he had spoken [01696] (8765).
Gen 21:2 For Sarah [08283] conceived [02029] (8799), and bare [03205] (8799) Abraham [085] a son [01121] in his old age [02208], at the set time [04150] of which God [0430] had spoken [01696] (8765) to him.
Gen 21:3 And Abraham [085] called [07121] (8799) the name [08034] of his son [01121] that was born [03205] (8737) unto him, whom Sarah [08283] bare [03205] (8804) to him, Isaac [03327].
Gen 21:4 And Abraham [085] circumcised [04135] (8799) his son [01121] Isaac [03327] being eight [08083] days [03117] old [01121], as God [0430] had commanded [06680] (8765) him.
Gen 21:5 And Abraham [085] was an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121], when his son [01121] Isaac [03327] was born [03205] (8736) unto him.
Gen 21:6 And Sarah [08283] said [0559] (8799), God [0430] hath made [06213] (8804) me to laugh [06712], [so that] all that hear [08085] (8802) will laugh [06711] (8799) with me.
Gen 21:7 And she said [0559] (8799), Who would have said [04448] (8765) unto Abraham [085], that Sarah [08283] should have given children [01121] suck [03243] (8689)? for I have born [03205] (8804) [him] a son [01121] in his old age [02208].
Gen 21:8 And the child [03206] grew [01431] (8799), and was weaned [01580] (8735): and Abraham [085] made [06213] (8799) a great [01419] feast [04960] the [same] day [03117] that Isaac [03327] was weaned [01580] (8736).
Gen 21:9 And Sarah [08283] saw [07200] (8799) the son [01121] of Hagar [01904] the Egyptian [04713], which she had born [03205] (8804) unto Abraham [085], mocking [06711] (8764).
Gen 21:10 Wherefore she said [0559] (8799) unto Abraham [085], Cast out [01644] (8761) this bondwoman [0519] and her son [01121]: for the son [01121] of this bondwoman [0519] shall not be heir [03423] (8799) with my son [01121], [even] with Isaac [03327].
Gen 21:11 And the thing [01697] was very [03966] grievous [03415] (8799) in Abraham's [085] sight [05869] because [0182] of his son [01121].
Gen 21:12 And God [0430] said [0559] (8799) unto Abraham [085], Let it not be grievous [03415] (8799) in thy sight [05869] because of the lad [05288], and because of thy bondwoman [0519]; in all that Sarah [08283] hath said [0559] (8799) unto thee, hearken [08085] (8798) unto her voice [06963]; for in Isaac [03327] shall thy seed [02233] be called [07121] (8735).
Gen 21:13 And also of the son [01121] of the bondwoman [0519] will I make [07760] (8799) a nation [01471], because he is thy seed [02233].
Gen 21:14 And Abraham [085] rose up early [07925] (8686) in the morning [01242], and took [03947] (8799) bread [03899], and a bottle [02573] of water [04325], and gave [05414] (8799) [it] unto Hagar [01904], putting [07760] (8804) [it] on her shoulder [07926], and the child [03206], and sent her away [07971] (8762): and she departed [03212] (8799), and wandered [08582] (8799) in the wilderness [04057] of Beersheba [0884].
Gen 21:15 And the water [04325] was spent [03615] (8799) in [04480] the bottle [02573], and she cast [07993] (8686) the child [03206] under one [0259] of the shrubs [07880].
Gen 21:16 And she went [03212] (8799), and sat her down [03427] (8799) over against [05048] [him] a good way off [07368] (8687), as it were a bowshot [02909] (8764) [07198]: for she said [0559] (8804), Let me not see [07200] (8799) the death [04194] of the child [03206]. And she sat [03427] (8799) over against [him], and lift up [05375] (8799) her voice [06963], and wept [01058] (8799).
Gen 21:17 And God [0430] heard [08085] (8804) the voice [06963] of the lad [05288]; and the angel [04397] of God [0430] called [07121] (8799) to Hagar [01904] out of heaven [08064], and said [0559] (8799) unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar [01904]? fear [03372] (8799) not; for God [0430] hath heard [08085] (8799) the voice [06963] of the lad [05288] where he is.
Gen 21:18 Arise [06965] (8798), lift up [05375] (8798) the lad [05288], and hold [02388] (8685) him in thine hand [03027]; for I will make [07760] (8799) him a great [01419] nation [01471].
Gen 21:19 And God [0430] opened [06491] (8799) her eyes [05869], and she saw [07200] (8799) a well [0875] of water [04325]; and she went [03212] (8799), and filled [04390] (8762) the bottle [02573] with water [04325], and gave [08248] [00] the lad [05288] drink [08248] (8686).
Gen 21:20 And God [0430] was with the lad [05288]; and he grew [01431] (8799), and dwelt [03427] (8799) in the wilderness [04057], and became an archer [07235] (8802) [07199].
Gen 21:21 And he dwelt [03427] (8799) in the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290]: and his mother [0517] took [03947] (8799) him a wife [0802] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
Gen 21:22 And it came to pass at that time [06256], that Abimelech [040] and Phichol [06369] the chief captain [08269] of his host [06635] spake [0559] (8799) unto Abraham [085], saying [0559] (8800), God [0430] is with thee in all that thou doest [06213] (8802):
Gen 21:23 Now therefore swear [07650] (8734) unto me here [02008] by God [0430] that thou wilt not deal falsely [08266] (8799) with me, nor with my son [05209], nor with my son's son [05220]: [but] according to the kindness [02617] that I have done [06213] (8804) unto thee, thou shalt do [06213] (8799) unto me, and to the land [0776] wherein thou hast sojourned [01481] (8804).
Gen 21:24 And Abraham [085] said [0559] (8799), I will swear [07650] (8735).
Gen 21:25 And Abraham [085] reproved [03198] (8689) Abimelech [040] because [0182] of a well [0875] of water [04325], which Abimelech's [040] servants [05650] had violently taken away [01497] (8804).
Gen 21:26 And Abimelech [040] said [0559] (8799), I wot [03045] (8804) not who hath done [06213] (8804) this thing [01697]: neither [03808] didst thou tell [05046] (8689) me, neither [03808] yet heard [08085] (8804) I [of it], but [01115] to day [03117].
Gen 21:27 And Abraham [085] took [03947] (8799) sheep [06629] and oxen [01241], and gave [05414] (8799) them unto Abimelech [040]; and both of them [08147] made [03772] (8799) a covenant [01285].
Gen 21:28 And Abraham [085] set [05324] (8686) seven [07651] ewe lambs [03535] of the flock [06629] by themselves.
Gen 21:29 And Abimelech [040] said [0559] (8799) unto Abraham [085], What [02008] [mean] these seven [07651] ewe lambs [03535] which thou hast set [05324] (8689) by themselves?
Gen 21:30 And he said [0559] (8799), For [these] seven [07651] ewe lambs [03535] shalt thou take [03947] (8799) of my hand [03027], that [05668] they may be a witness [05713] unto me, that I have digged [02658] (8804) this well [0875].
Gen 21:31 Wherefore he called [07121] (8804) that place [04725] Beersheba [0884]; because there they sware [07650] (8738) both of them [08147].
Gen 21:32 Thus they made [03772] (8799) a covenant [01285] at Beersheba [0884]: then Abimelech [040] rose up [06965] (8799), and Phichol [06369] the chief captain [08269] of his host [06635], and they returned [07725] (8799) into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430].
Gen 21:33 And [Abraham] planted [05193] (8799) a grove [0815] in Beersheba [0884], and called [07121] (8799) there on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], the everlasting [05769] God [0410].
Gen 21:34 And Abraham [085] sojourned [01481] (8799) in the Philistines [06430]' land [0776] many [07227] days [03117].
