Chapter 21
1 And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.


2 And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.


3 And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.


4 And when his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham made him undergo circumcision, as God had said to him.


5 Now Abraham was a hundred years old when the birth of Isaac took place.


6 And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.


7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would have a child at her breast? for see, I have given him a son now when he is old.


8 And when the child was old enough to be taken from the breast, Abraham made a great feast.


9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.


10 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.


11 And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.


12 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.


13 And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.


14 And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba.


15 And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.


16 And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.


17 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.


18 Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a great nation.


19 Then God made her eyes open, and she saw a water-spring, and she got water in the skin and gave the boy a drink.


20 And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.


21 And while he was in the waste land of Paran, his mother got him a wife from the land of Egypt.


22 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.


23 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.


24 And Abraham said, I will give you my oath.


25 But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.


26 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.


27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made an agreement together.


28 And Abraham put seven young lambs of the flock on one side by themselves.


29 Then Abimelech said, What are these seven lambs which you have put on one side?


30 And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.


31 So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths.


32 So they made an agreement at Beer-sheba, and Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, went back to the land of the Philistines.


33 And Abraham, after planting a holy tree in Beer-sheba, gave worship to the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.


34 And Abraham went on living in the land of the Philistines as in a strange country.

Chapter 22
1 Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.


2 And he said to him, Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge.


3 And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.


4 And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.


5 Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.


6 And Abraham put the wood for the burned offering on his son's back, and he himself took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.


7 Then Isaac said to Abraham, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, We have wood and fire here, but where is the lamb for the burned offering?


8 And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.


9 And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.


10 And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.


11 But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.


12 And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.


13 And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.


14 And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.


15 And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,


16 Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,


17 That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;


18 And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.


19 Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.


20 After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;


21 Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,


22 And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.


23 Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.


24 And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.

Chapter 23
1 Now the years of Sarah's life were a hundred and twenty-seven.


2 And Sarah's death took place in Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan: and Abraham went into his house, weeping and sorrowing for Sarah.


3 And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,


4 I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.


5 And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,


6 My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.


7 And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land.


8 And he said to them, If you will let me put my dead to rest here, make a request for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar,


9 That he will give me the hollow in the rock named Machpelah, which is his property at the end of his field; let him give it to me for its full price as a resting-place for my dead among you.


10 Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,


11 No, my lord, I will give you the field with the hollow in the rock; before all the children of my people will I give it to you for a resting-place for your dead.


12 And Abraham went down on his face before the people of the land.


13 And Abraham said to Ephron, in the hearing of the people of the land, If only you will give ear to me, I will give you the price of the field; take it, and let me put my dead to rest there.


14 So Ephron said to Abraham,


15 My lord, give ear to me: the value of the land is four hundred shekels; what is that between me and you? so put your dead to rest there.


16 And Abraham took note of the price fixed by Ephron in the hearing of the children of Heth, and gave him four hundred shekels in current money.


17 So Ephron's field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,


18 Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town.


19 Then Abraham put Sarah his wife to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, that is, Hebron in the land of Canaan.


20 And the field and the hollow rock were handed over to Abraham as his property by the children of Heth.

Chapter 24
1 Now Abraham was old and far on in years: and the Lord had given him everything in full measure.


2 And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg:


3 And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;


4 But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac.


5 And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?


6 And Abraham said, Take care that you do not let my son go back to that land.


7 The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and made an oath to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before you and give you a wife for my son in that land.


8 And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.


9 And the servant put his hand under Abraham's leg, and gave him his oath about this thing.


10 And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.


11 And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.


12 And he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, let me do well in what I have undertaken this day, and give your mercy to my master Abraham.


13 See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:


14 Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.


15 And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.


16 She was a very beautiful girl, a virgin, who had never been touched by a man: and she went down to the spring to get water in her vessel.


17 And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel.


18 And she said, Take a drink, my lord: and quickly letting down her vessel onto her hand, she gave him a drink.


19 And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.


20 And after putting the water from her vessel into the animals' drinking-place, she went quickly back to the spring and got water for all the camels.


21 And the man, looking at her, said nothing, waiting to see if the Lord had given his journey a good outcome.


22 And when the camels had had enough, the man took a gold nose-ring, half a shekel in weight, and two ornaments for her arms of ten shekels weight of gold;


23 And said to her, Whose daughter are you? is there room in your father's house for us?


24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, Nahor's wife.


25 And she said, We have a great store of dry grass and cattle-food, and there is room for you.


26 And with bent head the man gave worship to the Lord;


27 And said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has given a sign that he is good and true to my master, by guiding me straight to the house of my master's family.


28 So the girl went running and took the news of these things to her mother's house


29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.


30 And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring.


31 And he said to him, Come in, you on whom is the blessing of the Lord; why are you waiting outside? for I have made the house ready for you, and a place for the camels.


32 Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet.


33 And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so.


34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.


35 The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses.


36 And when Sarah, my master's wife, was old, she gave birth to a son, to whom he has given all he has.


37 And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;


38 But go to my father's house and to my relations for a wife for my son.


39 And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me?


40 And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house;


41 And you will be free from your oath to me when you come to my people; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from your oath.


42 And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey,


43 Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says,


44 Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.


45 And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.


46 And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.


47 And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands.


48 And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son.


49 And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.


50 Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you.


51 See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said.


52 And at these words, Abraham's servant went down on his face and gave praise to the Lord.


53 Then he took jewels of silver and jewels of gold and fair robes and gave them to Rebekah: and he gave things of value to her mother and her brother.


54 Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.


55 But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.


56 And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.


57 And they said, We will send for the girl, and let her make the decision.


58 And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready.


59 So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.


60 And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.


61 So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.


62 Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.


63 And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming.


64 And when Rebekah, looking up, saw Isaac, she got down from her camel,


65 And said to the servant, Who is that man coming to us through the field? And the servant said, It is my master: then she took her veil, covering her face with it.


66 Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done.


67 And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.

Chapter 25
1 And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.


2 She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.


3 And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.


4 And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.


5 Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;


6 But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.


7 Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.


8 And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.


9 And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;


10 The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.


11 Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.


12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:


13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam


14 And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,


15 Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:


16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.


17 And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.


18 And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.


19 Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:


20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.


21 Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.


22 And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.


23 And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.


24 And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.


25 And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.


26 And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.


27 And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.


28 Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.


29 And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;


30 And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.


31 And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.


32 And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?


33 And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.


34 Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
