Adonoy remembered Sarah as He had said, and Adonoy did for Sarah as He had spoken.

She conceived and Sarah gave birth to Avraham’s son in his old age, at the designated time that Elohim had declared.

Avraham named his son that was born to him, to which Sarah had borne to him, Yitzchok.

Avraham circumcised his son, Yitzchok, when he was eight days old, as Elohim had commanded him.

Avraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitzchok was born to him.

Sarah said, Elohim has given me laughter [gladness]. All who hear will laugh [rejoice] with me.

She said, Who said to Avraham [Who is faithful that he said to Avraham and fulfills His promise], that Sarah would nurse children? For I have given birth to a son in his old age.

The child grew and was weaned. Avraham made a great feast on the day Yitzchok was weaned.

Sarah saw that the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, that she had born to Avraham, was mocking.

She said to Avraham, Drive out this slave-woman and her son, for the son of this slave-woman will not inherit with my son, with Yitzchok.

This thing was very wrong in the eyes of Avraham, on account of his son.

Elohim said to Avraham, Do not consider this wrong in your eyes on account of the boy and your slave-woman. Regarding all that Sarah tells you, listen to her voice [accept from her], for [only] through Yitzchok will seed be considered yours.

[But] also the son of the slave-woman I will make into a nation, for he is [of] your seed.

Avraham got up early in the morning. He took bread and a skin [pouch] of water, and gave it to Hagar. He placed it on her shoulder with the lad, and sent her away. She went and lost her way in the desert of Beer Sheva.

The water in the skin was used up, and she threw the lad under one of the bushes.

She went and sat facing him, about [the distance] of bow-shots away. She said, Let me not see the lad die. She sat facing him and wept in a loud voice.

Elohim heard the voice of the lad [was heard before Elohim]. An angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, What is the matter, Hagar? Do not fear. Elohim has heard the voice of the lad [has been heard before Elohim] in the place where he is.

Get up and lift up the lad. Keep your hand strong on him, for I will make him a great nation.

Elohim opened [uncovered] her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad to drink.

Elohim was with the lad [The Word of Elohim supported the lad] and he grew up. He settled in the wilderness, [where] he became an expert archer.

He lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

It was at this time, Avimelech and Pichol, his general spoke to Avraham, saying, Elohim is with you in all that you do [the Word of Elohim is your support in all that you do].

Now, swear to me here, by [the Word of] Elohim, that you will not deal falsely with me, with my son, or my grandson. The kindness [goodness] that I have done to you, do to me and to the land in which you lived for a while.

Avraham said, I will swear.

Avraham then reprimanded Avimelech regarding the well of water that Avimelech’s servants had taken by force.

Avimelech said, I do not know who did this thing. You also never told me, and I also heard nothing of it until today.

Avraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Avimelech. The two of them made a covenant.

Avraham set seven ewes apart by themselves.

Avimelech said to Avraham. What is the reason for these seven ewes that you have set apart?

He [Avraham] said, Take these seven ewes from my hand so that it will be proof for me, that I dug this well.

Therefore he called that place Beer Sheva, since the two had made an oath there.

They made a covenant in Beer Sheva. Avimelech, and Pichol, his general, then rose and returned to the land of the Philistines.

Avraham planted an eishel [tree] in Beer Sheva, and there he proclaimed [and there he prayed in] the Name Adonoy, Almighty of the universe.

Avraham lived in the land of the Philistines for many days.
