Abraham

Then tooke Abimelech sheepe and beeues, and men seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

Then Abraham prayed vnto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women seruants: and they bare children.

For the Lord had shut vp euery wombe of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abrahams wife.

For Sarah conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, at the same season that God tolde him.

And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him, which Sarah bare him, Izhak.

Then Abraham circumcised Izhak his sonne, when he was eight dayes olde, as God had commanded him.

So Abraham was an hundreth yeere olde, when his sonne Izhak was borne vnto him.

Againe she said, Who would haue saide to Abraham, that Sarah shoulde haue giuen children sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in his olde age.

Then the childe grewe and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Izhak was weaned.

And Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto Abraham) mocking.

Wherefore she saide vnto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman and her sonne: for ye sonne of this bonde woman shall not be heire with my sonne Izhak.

And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.

But God said vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight for the childe, and for thy bonde woman: in all that Sarah shall say vnto thee, heare her voyce: for in Izhak shall thy seede be called.

So Abraham arose vp early in ye morning, and tooke bread, and a bottell of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the childe also, and sent her away: who departing wandred in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba.

And at that same time Abimelech and Phichol his chief captaine spake vnto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.

Then Abraham said, I will sweare.

And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken away.

Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant.

And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues.

Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues?

And Abraham planted a groue in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of ye Lord, the euerlasting God.

And Abraham was a stranger in the Philistims land a long season.

And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, Here am I.

Then Abraham rose vp early in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his seruants with him, and Izhak his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp and went to the place, which God had tolde him.

Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre off,
