And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.5 sermons¹⁷And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.5 sermons¹⁸Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.5 sermons¹⁹And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.5 sermons²⁰And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.5 sermons²¹And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.5 sermons²²And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:5 sermons²³Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.5 sermons²⁴And Abraham said, I will swear.5 sermons²⁵And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.5 sermons²⁶And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.5 sermons²⁷And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.5 sermons²⁸And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.5 sermons²⁹And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?5 sermons³⁰And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.5 sermons³¹Wherefore he called that place Beer–sheba; because there they sware both of them.5 sermons³²Thus they made a covenant at Beer–sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.5 sermons³³And Abraham planted a grove in Beer–sheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.5 sermons³⁴And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.5 sermons
