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.

⁷ And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

¹ And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.

³ And he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;

⁴ They were wandering in the waste places; they saw no way to a resting-place.

⁶⁰ I was quick to do your orders, and let no time be wasted.

¹⁴ He who gives a blessing to his friend with a loud voice, getting up early in the morning, will have it put to his account as a curse.

¹⁰ Whatever comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going.

⁸ For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.

³⁵ Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

¹⁵ And a man saw him wandering in the country, and said to him, What are you looking for?

⁶ Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

⁷ For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

³³ And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

²⁷ And Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had been talking with the Lord:

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

³¹ And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace.

²³ Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.

²⁴ Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

²⁵ Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia, and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is: which is a servant with her children.
