COMMENTARY ON GENESIS
18. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
18. Surge, tolle puerum, et tene manu tua eum: quia in gentem magnam ponam eum.
19. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
19. Tunc aperuit Deus oculos ejus, et vidit puteum aquae, et perrexit et implevit utrem aqua, et potum dedit puero.
20. And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
20. Et fuit Deus cum puero, et crevit, habitavitque in deserto, et fuit jaculator sagittarius.
21. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
21. Et habitavit in deserto Param, et accepit ei mater ejus uxorem de terra Aegypti.
22. And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
22. Deinde fuit tempore illo, dixit Abimelech et Phicol princeps exercitus ejus ad Abraham, dicendo, Deus tecum est in omnibus qu ae tu facis:
23. Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
23. Nunc itaque jura mihi per Deum hic, si mentitus fueris mihi,432 et filio meo, et nepoti meo: secundum misericordiam, quam feci tecum facies mecum, et cum terra, in qua peregrinatus es.
24. And Abraham said, I will swear.
24. Et dixit Abraham, Ego jurabo.
432Vel, si fefelleris, aut infideliter egeris.
