And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.

And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:

And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee; and in respect of all thou art righted.

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

And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.

And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son: for the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and [gave her] the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: 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.

Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.

And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.

And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:

And Abraham said, I will swear.

And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.

And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.

So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
