1 And Yahweh visited Princess as he had said, and Yahweh did to Princess as he had said.
2 And Princess conceived, and bore Father-of-Multitudes a son in his old age,
at the appointed time of which Elohim had spoken of.
3 And Father-of-Multitudes called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Princess bore to him, Laughter.
4 And Father-of-Multitudes circumcised his son Laughter when he was eight days old as Elohim had comanded him.
5 And Father-of-Multitudes was a hundred years old when his son Laughter was born to him.
6 And Princess said, "Elohim has made me laugh: all that hear will laugh with me."
7 And she said, "Who would have said to Father-of-Multitudes, Princess will suckle children? For I have borne him a son in his old age."
8 The child grew and was weaned. And Father-of-Multitudes made a great feast on the day that Laughter was weaned.
9 And Princess saw the son of Flight, the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Father-of-Multitudes, playing with her son.
10 And she said to Father-of-Multitudes, "Cast out this slave woman and her son; for the son of this woman slave shall not inherit with my son Laughter."
11 And the thing was very distressing in Father-of-Multitudes's sight because he was also his son.
12 And Elohim said to Father-of-Multitudes, "Let it not be grievous in your sight because of the lad and because of your woman slave: in all that Princess has said to you hearken to her voice, for in Laughter your line shall continue.
13 But also the son of the woman slave will I make a nation, because he is your seed."
14 And Father-of-Multitudes rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave it to Flight, putting it on her shoulder -- and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered aimlessly in the wilderness of Well-of the-Oath-of-Seven.
15 And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she placed the child under one of the shrubs,
16 and she went and sat down a distace from him, a bow-shot off; for she said, 'Let me not behold the death of the child." And she sat away from him, and broke into sobs.
17 And Elohim heard the boy's cry. And the messenger of Elohim called to Flight from the heavens, and said to her, "What ails you, Flight? Fear not; for Elohim has heard the cry of the boy there, in his present plight.
18 get up, take the boy, and hold him in your hand; for I will make of him a great nation."
19 And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the boy drink.
20 And Elohim was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 And he lived in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 And it came to pass at that time that Melek-the-God-is-Father, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Father-of-Multitudes, saying, "Elohim is with you in all that you do.
23 And now swear to me here by Elohim that you will not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to youee, you shalt do to me, and to the land in which you are a resident alien."
24 And Father-of-Multitudes said, "I will swear."
25 And Father-of-Multitudes complained to Melek-the-God-is-Father because of a well of water that Melek-the-God-is-Father's servants had violently taken away.
26 And Melek-the-God-is-Father said, "I do not know who has done this, nor have you told me of it, neither have I heard of this till today."
27 And Father-of-Multitudes took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Melek-the-God-is-Father; and both of them made a pact.
28 And Father-of-Multitudes set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Melek-the-God-is-Father said to Father-of-Multitudes, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe-lambs, these which you have set by themselves?"
30 And he said, "You will accept these ewes from me as my proof that I dug this well".
31 Therefore he called that place Well-of the-Oath-of-Seven, because there they had sworn, both of them.
32 And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Melek-the-God-is-Father rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Phoenicians.
33 And Father-of-Multitudes planted a tamarisk in Well-of the-Oath-of-Seven, and called there on the name of Yahweh, El Olam, God-of-Eternity.
34 And Father-of-Multitudes sojourned in the Phoenicians' land many days.
