Genesis 21:18-34 ▼

18 Arise, lift up the child, and fasten thy hand upon him; for I will make him into a great nation.

19 And God will open her eyes, and she will see a well of waters, and will go and fill the water skin with water, and will give the child to drink.

20 And God will be with the child; and he will be great, and dwell in the desert, and will be to increase the bow.

21 And he will dwell in the desert Paran: and his mother will take to him a wife from the land of Egypt.

22 And it shall be in that tune, and Abimelech will speak, and Phicol, leader of his army, to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.

23 And now swear to me in God, whether if thou shalt lie to me and to my progeny, and to my progenies; according to the kindness which I did to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou didst sojourn in it.

24 And Abraham will say, I will swear.

25 And Abraham rebuked Abimelech on account of the well of waters which Abimelech's servants took away by force.

26 And Abimelech will say, I knew not who did this thing; and also thou didst not announce to me, and also I heard not except this day.

27 And Abraham will take sheep and oxen, and give to Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.

28 And Abraham set, seven ewe lambs of the sheep alone.

29 And Abimelech will say to Abraham, What here these seven ewe lambs which thou didst set alone?

30 And he will say, For the seven ewe lambs thou shalt take from my hand, in order to be to me for a testimony that I dug this well.

31 For this he called that place, The well of the oath, for there they two aware.

32 And they will make a covenant, at the well of the oath, and Abimelech will rise up, and Phicol, the leader of his army, and they will turn back to the land of the Philistines,

33 And be will plant the tamarisk by the well of the oath, and will call there upon the name of Jehovah, the eternal God.

34 And Abraham will sojourn in the land of the Philistines many days.
