sed et filium ancillae faciam in gentem magnam quia semen tuum est
But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.

surrexit itaque Abraham mane et tollens panem et utrem aquae inposuit scapulae eius tradiditque puerum et dimisit eam quae cum abisset errabat in solitudine Bersabee
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.

cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre abiecit puerum subter unam arborum quae ibi erant
And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.

et abiit seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus iacere dixit enim non videbo morientem puerum et sedens contra levavit vocem suam et flevit

respondit Abimelech nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem sed et tu non indicasti mihi et ego non audivi praeter hodie
And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today.

| 29 |
cui dixit Abimelech quid sibi volunt septem agnae istae quas stare fecisti seorsum

|
| 30 |
at ille septem inquit agnas accipies de manu mea ut sint in testimonium mihi quoniam ego fodi puteum istum
