Abraham

And Abimelech taketh sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and giveth to Abraham, and sendeth back to him Sarah his wife;

And Abraham prayeth unto God, and God healeth Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear:

for Jehovah restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;

and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him--Isaac;

and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, being a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.

And Abraham is a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,

She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'

And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;

and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,

and she saith to Abraham, `Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son--with Isaac.'

And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;

and God saith unto Abraham, `Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee--hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.

And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing it on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;

And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh--Phichol also, head of his host--unto Abraham, saying, `God is with thee in all that thou art doing;

And Abraham saith, `I--I do swear.'

And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,

And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;

and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.

And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, `What are they--these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'

and Abraham planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;

and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.

And it cometh to pass after these things that God hath tried Abraham, and saith unto him, `Abraham;' and he saith, `Here am I.'

And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and taketh two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and he cleaveth the wood of the burnt-offering, and riseth and goeth unto the place of which God hath spoken to him.

On the third day--Abraham lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the place from afar;
