RF GEN 21:1 The Promise fulfilled in Isaac.
The EVER-LIVING afterwards effected with Sarah what He had promised, and the LORD did for Sarah that which He had said;
RF GEN 21:2 and Sarah conceiving, gave birth to a son to Abraham in his old age, in the way that GOD had promised him.
RF GEN 21:3 Abraham accordingly gave the son born to him, by Sarah, the name of Isaac;
RF GEN 21:4 and Abraham circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as GOD had instructed him.
RF GEN 21:5 And Abraham was then one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
RF GEN 21:6 Sarah then said,
"GOD has made a delight for me;
For He has heard my laugh to Him,
All who hear will laugh with me;"
RF GEN 21:7 and she continued,
"For Abraham I am a flowing brook,
He has made me suckle children,
For I have borne a son to his age."
RF GEN 21:8 When the lad grew and was weaned, Abraham celebrated the weaning of Isaac with a great feast.
RF GEN 21:9 Sarah also saw the son, which Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham, playing;
RF GEN 21:10 and said to Abraham, "Drive out my maid and her son, for the son of this slave shall not be an inheritor with my son Isaac."
RF GEN 21:11 The Renewed Promise to Ishmael.
But in Abraham's view, this speech was very bad, in regard to his son;
RF GEN 21:12 but GOD said to Abraham: "Let it not be disheartening in your sight; do all that Sarah has said against the lad, and against his mother. Listen to what she says; for from Isaac I will nominate an Heir to you.
RF GEN 21:13 And also from the son of your second wife I will found a great nation:—for he is your heir."
RF GEN 21:14 Abraham accordingly rose up at dawn; and taking bread and a skin of water, he placed them on the shoulder of Hagar, and the lad's, and sent her away; and she went and wandered in the desert of Beersheba.1
RF GEN 21:15 When the water in the skin was exhausted, however, she placed the lad under a bush;
RF GEN 21:16 and went and seated herself on the other side, for she said, "I shall not then see the lad's death." So she rested on the other side, and she raised her voice and wept.
RF GEN 21:17 GOD then heard the voice of the youth, and a Messenger of GOD called from the sky to Hagar and said to her, "What, Hagar, is the matter? Be not afraid, for GOD has heard the voice of the lad, from where he is.
RF GEN 21:18 Arise, take the lad, and support him, for I will make from him a great Nation."
RF GEN 21:19 Then GOD opened her eyes, and she saw a spring of water, and she gave the lad a drink.
RF GEN 21:20 Thus GOD gave life to the lad, and he grew, and dwelt in the desert, and became a mighty archer,
RF GEN 21:21 and settled in the desert of Paran; and she took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
RF GEN 21:22 Abraham's Treaty with Abimelech.
It was about this time that Abimelek, and Pikol the commander of his army, addressed Abraham, saying, "GOD is with you in all that you do.
RF GEN 21:23 So now take an oath to me before GOD, that you may not deceive, and to my children and posterity, that the kindness which I have shown to you, you will show to me, and to the land where you have been a foreigner."
RF GEN 21:24 And Abraham replied, "I will take the oath."
RF GEN 21:25 Abraham then reproved Abimelek about the affair of the well of water, which the servants of Abimelek had stolen.
RF GEN 21:26 Then Abimelek answered, "I did not myself know of that matter; and neither did you report it to me; and I never heard it until to-day."
RF GEN 21:27 Abraham then took sheep and oxen, and gave to Abimelek, and the two entered into a treaty.
RF GEN 21:28 Abimelek then asked Abraham,
—————
1 The Well of the Oath.
RF GEN 21:29 "What are these seven lambs for, which you have put by themselves?"
RF GEN 21:30 "You take these seven lambs from my hand," he answered, "that they may be an evidence for me that I dug this well."
RF GEN 21:31 They accordingly called that place the Well of the Oath, 1
RF GEN 21:32 and he entered into a treaty at the Well of the Oath, with both Abimelek and Pikol, the commander of his army. Then they returned to the land of the Philistines.
RF GEN 21:33 They also planted tamarisk trees by the Well of the Oath, and called there on the name of the EVER-LIVING ETERNAL GOD,
RF GEN 21:34 So Abraham remained in the land of the Philistines for many days.
—————
1. Beer-sheba.
