Genesis 21:19-26 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

19. And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink.

20. And Elohim was with the boy, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

21. And he dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Mitsrayim.

22. And it came to be at that time that Aḇimeleḵ and Piḵol, the commander of his army, spoke to Aḇraham, saying, “Elohim is with you in all that you do.

23. “And now, swear to me by Elohim, not to be untrue to me, to my offspring, or to my descendants. Do to me according to the kindness that I have done to you and to the land in which you have dwelt.”

24. And Aḇraham said, “I swear.”

25. And Aḇraham reproved Aḇimeleḵ because of a well of water which Aḇimeleḵ’s servants had seized.

26. And Aḇimeleḵ said, “I do not know who has done this deed. Neither did you inform me, nor did I hear until today.”
