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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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