CHAP. XVI.

[World 2093] [Sem 535] [Arphaxad 435] [Salah 400] [Eber 370] [Abram 85] ABRAM marrieth Hagar, that he might compass the promise of having a son of his own body; he being not yet informed whither by Sarai or no: Hagar through Sarai's harsh dealing is forced to return towards her own Country; but by the way, seeth the God of vision, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and by him is instructed concerning the condition and name of the son in her womb, and is sent back to Sarai again.

[World 2094] [Sem 536] [Arphaxad 436] [Salah 401] [Eber 371] [Abram 86] ISMAEL born; the son of the bond-woman; [Abram 87] [Ismael 1] born in the very latter end of Abrams eighty sixth year.

[World 2096] [Sem 538] [Arphaxad 438] [Salah 403] [Eber 373] [Abram 88] [Ismael 2] ARPHAXAD dieth, 438. years old, read Gen. [Abram 89] [Ismael 3] 11. 11, 13. It is now 440. years since the flood, for [Abram 90] [Ismael 4] Arphaxad was born but two years after it. The Septua∣gint [Abram 91] [Ismael 5] makes him the father of Cainan, which never was

in being; and yet is that followed by Saint Luke, Chap. 3. 36. for special reason. There be that suppose the Chasdim [Abram 92] [Ismael 6] or Chaldeans took their denomination from the last letters [Abram 93] [Ismael 7] [Abram 94] [Ismael 8] of Arphaxads name, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: and this hath the more probabi∣lity, [Abram 95] [Ismael 9] because they are so called Chasdim, Gen. 15. 7. before [Abram 96] [Ismael 10] Chesed, which otherwise might have seemed to have given [Abram 97] [Ismael 11] [Abram 98] [Ismael 12] them their denomination, was born, Gen. 22. 22.
