1 И҆ гдⷭ҇ь посѣтѝ са́ррꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ: и҆ сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь са́ррѣ, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а. 2 И҆ заче́нши са́рра родѝ а҆враа́мꙋ сы́на въ ста́рости, во вре́мѧ, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: 3 и҆ наречѐ а҆враа́мъ и҆́мѧ сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀ ро́ждшемꙋсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, є҆го́же родѝ є҆мꙋ̀ са́рра, і҆саа́къ: 4 ѡ҆брѣ́за же а҆враа́мъ і҆саа́ка во ѻ҆смы́й де́нь, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ. 5 А҆враа́мъ же бѣ̀ ста̀ лѣ́тъ, є҆гда̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ і҆саа́къ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀. 6 Рече́ же са́рра: смѣ́хъ мнѣ̀ сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆́же бо а҆́ще ᲂу҆слы́шитъ, ѡ҆бра́дꙋетсѧ со мно́ю. 7 И҆ речѐ: кто̀ возвѣсти́тъ а҆враа́мꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ млеко́мъ пита́етъ ѻ҆троча̀ са́рра, ꙗ҆́кѡ роди́хъ сы́на въ ста́рости мое́й; 8 И҆ возрастѐ ѻ҆троча̀, и҆ ѿдое́но бы́сть: и҆ сотворѝ а҆враа́мъ ᲂу҆чрежде́нїе ве́лїе, во́ньже де́нь ѿдои́сѧ і҆саа́къ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀. 9 Ви́дѣвши же са́рра сы́на а҆́гари є҆гѵ́птѧныни, и҆́же бы́сть а҆враа́мꙋ, и҆гра́юща со і҆саа́комъ сы́номъ свои́мъ, 10 и҆ речѐ а҆враа́мꙋ: и҆зженѝ рабꙋ̀ сїю̀ и҆ сы́на є҆ѧ̀: не наслѣ́дитъ бо сы́нъ рабы̀ сеѧ̀ съ сы́номъ мои́мъ і҆саа́комъ. 11 Же́стокъ же ꙗ҆ви́сѧ глаго́лъ се́й ѕѣлѡ̀ пред̾ а҆враа́момъ ѡ҆ сы́нѣ є҆гѡ̀ і҆сма́илѣ. 12 И҆ речѐ бг҃ъ а҆враа́мꙋ: да не бꙋ́детъ же́стоко пред̾ тобо́ю ѡ҆ ѻ҆́троцѣ и҆ ѡ҆ рабы́ни: всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще рече́тъ тебѣ̀ са́рра, слꙋ́шай гла́са є҆ѧ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ во і҆саа́цѣ нарече́тсѧ тебѣ̀ сѣ́мѧ: 13 сы́на же рабы́ни сеѧ̀ въ ꙗ҆зы́къ вели́къ сотворю̀ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ є҆́сть. 14 Воста́ же а҆враа́мъ заꙋ́тра и҆ взѧ̀ хлѣ́бы и҆ мѣ́хъ воды̀, и҆ дадѐ а҆́гари: и҆ возложѝ на плещы̀ є҆ѧ̀ ѻ҆троча̀ и҆ ѿпꙋстѝ ю҆̀. Ѿше́дши же заблꙋжда́ше въ пꙋсты́ни, ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ клѧ́твеннагѡ: 15 ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ же вода̀ и҆з̾ мѣ́ха: и҆ пове́рже ѻ҆троча̀ под̾ є҆́лїю є҆ди́ною. 16 Ѿше́дши же сѣдѧ́ше прѧ́мѡ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆здале́че, ꙗ҆́коже дострѣли́ти и҆з̾ лꙋ́ка: рече́ бо: да не ви́ждꙋ сме́рти дѣ́тища моегѡ̀. И҆ сѣ́де прѧ́мѡ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆здале́че. Воскрича́въ же ѻ҆троча̀, воспла́касѧ: 17 ᲂу҆слы́ша же бг҃ъ гла́съ ѻ҆троча́те ѿ мѣ́ста, и҆дѣ́же бѧ́ше: и҆ воззва̀ а҆́гг҃лъ бж҃їй а҆́гарь съ нб҃сѐ и҆ речѐ є҆́й: что́ є҆сть, а҆́гарь; не бо́йсѧ: ᲂу҆слы́ша бо бг҃ъ гла́съ ѻ҆́трочища ѿ мѣ́ста, и҆дѣ́же є҆́сть: 18 воста́ни и҆ поимѝ ѻ҆троча̀, и҆ и҆мѝ рꙋко́ю твое́ю є҆го̀: въ ꙗ҆зы́къ бо вели́къ сотворю̀ є҆го̀. 19 И҆ ѿве́рзе бг҃ъ ѻ҆́чи є҆ѧ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆зрѣ̀ кла́дѧзь воды̀ жи́вы: и҆ и҆́де, и҆ налїѧ̀ мѣ́хъ воды̀, и҆ напоѝ ѻ҆троча̀. 20 И҆ бѧ́ше бг҃ъ со ѻ҆троча́темъ, и҆ возрастѐ, и҆ всели́сѧ въ пꙋсты́ни, и҆ бы́сть стрѣле́цъ. 21 И҆ посели́сѧ въ пꙋсты́ни фара́нъ: и҆ поѧ́тъ є҆мꙋ̀ ма́ти є҆гѡ̀ женꙋ̀ ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ. 22 Бы́сть же въ то̀ вре́мѧ, и҆ речѐ а҆вїмеле́хъ, и҆ ѻ҆хоза́ѳъ невѣстоводи́тель є҆гѡ̀, и҆ фїхо́лъ воево́да си́лы є҆гѡ̀, ко а҆враа́мꙋ, глаго́лѧ: бг҃ъ съ тобо́ю во всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же твори́ши: 23 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо клени́сѧ мѝ бг҃омъ, не ѡ҆би́дѣти менѐ, нижѐ сѣ́мене моегѡ̀, нижѐ и҆́мене моегѡ̀: но по пра́вдѣ, ю҆́же сотвори́хъ съ тобо́ю, сотвори́ши со мно́ю и҆ землѝ, и҆дѣ́же ты̀ всели́лсѧ є҆сѝ на не́й. 24 И҆ речѐ а҆враа́мъ: а҆́зъ кленꙋ́сѧ. 25 И҆ ѡ҆бличѝ а҆враа́мъ а҆вїмеле́ха ѡ҆ кла́дѧзехъ водны́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѿѧ́ша ѻ҆́троцы а҆вїмеле́хѡвы. 26 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆вїмеле́хъ: не вѣ́дѣхъ, кто̀ сотворѝ тебѣ̀ ве́щь сїю̀: нижѐ ты́ ми повѣ́далъ є҆сѝ, нижѐ а҆́зъ слы́шахъ, то́кмѡ дне́сь. 27 И҆ взѧ̀ а҆враа́мъ ѻ҆́вцы и҆ ю҆нцы̀ и҆ дадѐ а҆вїмеле́хꙋ: и҆ завѣща́ста ѻ҆́ба завѣ́тъ. 28 И҆ поста́ви а҆враа́мъ се́дмь а҆́гницъ ѻ҆́вчихъ є҆ди́ныхъ. 29 И҆ речѐ а҆вїмеле́хъ а҆враа́мꙋ: что̀ сꙋ́ть се́дмь а҆́гницы ѻ҆ве́цъ си́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же поста́вилъ є҆сѝ є҆ди̑ны; 30 И҆ речѐ а҆враа́мъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ се́дмь си́хъ а҆́гницъ во́змеши ᲂу҆ менє̀, да бꙋ́дꙋтъ мѝ во свидѣ́тельство, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ и҆скопа́хъ кла́дѧзь се́й. 31 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди наименова̀ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ кла́дѧзь клѧ́твенный: ꙗ҆́кѡ та́мѡ клѧ́стасѧ ѻ҆́ба 32 и҆ завѣща́ста завѣ́тъ ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ клѧ́твеннагѡ.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  3. Quotes verse 21:12 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVI, Chapters 29–32)

    … by casting out the bond maid and her son, "In Isaac shall thy seed be called." No doubt He then goes on to say, "And as for the son of this bond woman, I will make him a great nation, because he is thy seed." How then is it said "In Isaac shall thy seed be called," when God calls …

  4. Quotes verse 21:12 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVI, Chapters 37–38)

    For when it is said, "In Isaac shall thy seed be called," by this seed is meant solely the city of God; so that from it is separated Abraham's other seed, which was in the son of the bond woman, and which was to be in the sons of Keturah.
