Genesis 21:15-33

15And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,

16and she went and sat down over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lifted up her voice and wept.

17And 1God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of 2God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What [aileth] thee, Hagar? Fear not; for 3God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.

18Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.

19And 4God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.

20And 5God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

22And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, 6God is with thee in all that thou doest.

23And now swear to me here by 7God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest.

24And Abraham said, I will swear.

25And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

26And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me [of it], neither have I heard [of it] but to-day.

27And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

28And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.

29And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?

30And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.

31Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.

32And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.

33And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal 8God.
