21:1  And Hashem visited Sarah as He had said, and Hashem did unto Sarah just as He had spoken.
21:2  For Sarah conceived, and bore Avraham ben in his old age, at the mo’ed (set time) of which Elohim had given promise unto him.
21:3  And Avraham called the shem of bno that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Yitzchak.
21:4  And Avraham circumcised bno Yitzchak at age shemonat yamim, as Elohim had commanded him.
21:5  And Avraham was a hundred years old, when bno Yitzchak was born unto him.
21:6  And she said, Elohim hath brought me tzechok (laughter), so that all that hear yitzchak (will laugh) with me.
21:7  And she said, Who would have said unto Avraham, that Sarah should nurse banim? for I have borne him ben in his old age.
21:8  And the yeled grew, and was weaned; and Avraham made a mishteh gadol the same day that Yitzchak was weaned.
21:9  And Sarah saw the ben of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Avraham, metzachek (mocking, scoffing).
21:10  Therefore she said unto Avraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her ben: for the ben of this bondwoman shall not be heir with beni (my son), even with Yitzchak.
21:11  And the thing was very grievous in the eyes of Avraham because of bno.
21:12  And Elohim said unto Avraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the na’ar, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, shema (pay heed) unto her voice; for in Yitzchak shall thy zera be called.
21:13  And also of the ben haamah will I make a nation, because he is thy zera.
21:14  And Avraham rose up early in the boker, and took lechem, and a skin of mayim, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the yeled, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the midbar of Beer-Sheva.
21:15  And the mayim in the skin was done, and she cast the yeled under one of the bushes.
21:16  And she went off, and sat down about a bowshot away: for she thought, Let me not see the mot hayeled. And she sat there nearby, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
21:17  And Elohim heard the voice of the na’ar; and the Malach Elohim called to Hagar out of Shomayim, and said unto her, Mah lach, Hagar? fear not; for Elohim hath heard the voice of the na’ar where he is.
21:18  Arise, lift up the na’ar, and hold him in thine yad; for I will make him a goy gadol.
21:19  And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a be’er of mayim; and she went, and filled the skin with mayim, and gave the na’ar drink.
21:20  And Elohim was with the na’ar; and he grew, and dwelt in the midbar, and became a roveh keshet (an archer).
21:21  And he dwelt in the midbar of Paran: and his em got him an isha out of Eretz Mitzrayim.
21:22  And it came to pass at that time, that Avimelech and Phichol the sar tz’va of his spoke unto Avraham, saying, Elohim is with thee in all that thou doest:
21:23  Now therefore swear unto me here before Elohim that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my child, nor with my descendant: but according to the chesed that I have showed thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the eretz wherein thou hast sojourned.
21:24  And Avraham said, I will swear.
21:25  And Avraham reproved Avimelech because of a be’er hamayim, which Avimelech’s avadim had violently seized.
21:26  And Avimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.
21:27  And Avraham took tzon and oxen, and gave them unto Avimelech; and both of them made a brit.
21:28  And Avraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the tzon by themselves.
21:29  And Avimelech said unto Avraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart by themselves?
21:30  And he said, For these sheva ewe lambs shalt thou accept of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have dug this well.
21:31  Therefore he called that place Beer-Sheva; because there they swore an oath both of them.
21:32  Thus they made a brit at Beer-Sheva: then Avimelech rose up, and Phichol the sar tzeva of his, and they returned into eretz Pelishtim.
21:33  And Avraham planted an eshel (tamarisk tree) in Beer-Sheva, and called there on the Shem of Hashem El Olam.
21:34  And Avraham sojourned in eretz Pelishtim yamim rabbim.
