Douay Bible - Genesis Chapter 21

Genesis 21:1
And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.

Genesis 21:2
And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.

Genesis 21:3
And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.

Genesis 21:4
And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,

Genesis 21:5
When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.

Genesis 21:6
And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me.

Genesis 21:7
And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age.

Genesis 21:8
And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.

Genesis 21:9
And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:

Genesis 21:10
Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.

Genesis 21:11
Abraham took this grievously for his son.

Genesis 21:12
And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Genesis 21:13
But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.

Genesis 21:14
So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.

Genesis 21:15
And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.

Genesis 21:16
And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.

Genesis 21:17
And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.

Genesis 21:18
Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.

Genesis 21:19
And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.

Genesis 21:20
And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.

Genesis 21:21
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

Genesis 21:22
At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.

Genesis 21:23
Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.

Genesis 21:24
And Abraham said: I will swear.

Genesis 21:25
And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.

Genesis 21:26
And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till to day.

Genesis 21:27
And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.

Genesis 21:28
And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.

Genesis 21:29
And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?

Genesis 21:30
But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.

Genesis 21:31
Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because both of them did swear.

Genesis 21:32
And they made a league for the well of oath.

Genesis 21:33
And Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.

Genesis 21:34
And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries.

Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe
