For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

The Holy Tanakh: Genesis: Chapter 21
|
|
{1}
And the Lord remembered Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken.
|
{2}
And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
|
{3}
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
|
{4}
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
|
{5}
And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
|
{6}
And Sarah said: 'God hath made laughter for me; every one that heareth will laugh on account of me.'
|
{7}
And she said: 'Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.'
|
{8}
And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
|
{9}
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport.
|
{10}
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.'
|
{11}
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
|
{12}
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 saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall seed be called to thee.
|
{13}
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.'
|
{14}
And Abraham arose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and strayed in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
|
{15}
And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
|
{16}
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow-shot; for she said: 'Let me not look upon the death of the child.' And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
|
{17}
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.
|
{18}
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast by thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.'
|
{19}
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
|
{20}
And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
