| 10. | 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." | So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac. | Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. | ||

For from Isaac will your seed be called. | But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name. | And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. | ||
| 13. | I will also make a nation of the son of the handmaid, because he is your seed." | And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed. | And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. | ||

And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. | ||
| 17. | 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. | And the boy's cry came to the ears of God; and the angel of God said to Hagar from heaven, Hagar, why are you weeping? have no fear, for the child's cry has come to the ears of God. | And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. | ||

| 22. | It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do. | Now at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, said to Abraham, I see that God is with you in all you do. | And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest: | ||
| 23. | Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner." | Now, then, give me your oath, in the name of God, that you will not be false to me or to my sons after me, but that as I have been good to you, so you will be to me and to this land where you have been living. | Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. | ||
| 24. | Abraham said, "I will swear." | And Abraham said, I will give you my oath. | And Abraham said, I will swear. | ||
| 25. | Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. | But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force. | And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. | ||
| 26. | Abimelech said, "I don't know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today." | But Abimelech said, I have no idea who has done this thing; you never gave me word of it, and I had no knowledge of it till this day. | And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day. | ||
| 27. | Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech.

| 29. | Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?" | Then Abimelech said, What are these seven lambs which you have put on one side? | And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? | ||
| 30. | He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well." | And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole. | And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. | ||
| 31. | Therefore he called that place Beersheba,{Beersheba can mean "well of the oath" or "well of seven."} because they both swore there. | So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths. | Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them. | ||
| 32. | So they made a covenant at Beersheba.
