Abraham's Seed is Called SAXONS
21:1 And the Lord (Argo) visited Sarah (Virgo) as he had said, and the Lord (Argo) did unto Sarah (Virgo) as he (Argo) had (red radius) spoken.
2 For Sarah (red radius) conceived, and bare Abraham a (solar pregnant) son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him (1851 B.C.).
3 And Abraham (Ophiuchus) (red radius) called the name of his (Coma) son that was born unto him, whom Sarah (Virgo) (solar) bare to him, Isaac (laugh).
4 And Abraham (Ophiuchus) (red radius and lunar crescent foreskin) circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraham (Ophiuchus) was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac (Coma) was born unto him.
6 And Sarah (Pollux) said, God hath made me to laugh (Isaac), so that all that (lunar ear) hear will laugh (Isaac) with me.
Paul’s quotation from Isaiah 54:1, “rejoice thou barren that bearest not,” in a passage where the Apostle is allegorizing this chapter (Galatians 4:22-31).
7 And she (red radius) said, Who would have (red radius) said unto Abraham (Ophiuchus), that Sarah (Pollux) should have given (Pollux) children (lunar) breast red radius) suck? for I have born him a (Pollux) son in his old age.
8 And the child grew (Pollux), and was (red radius) weaned: and Abraham (Ophiuchus) made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned (1846 B.C.).
being healthy and robust, and capable of digesting stronger food, and living upon it, he was weaned from the breast: at what age Isaac was when weaned is not certain,According to Jerom ( Quaestion. in Genesin, fol. 68. K. tom. 3), it was the opinion of some of the Hebrews that he was five years old; and at this age
Weaning was often, in the East, deferred until as late as the child’s third or fourth year; see 1 Samuel 1:24. It is still regarded as the occasion for a family rejoicing.
9 And Sarah (Pollux) (red radius) saw the son (Ophiuchus or Pollux) of Hagar the Egyptian (Coma), which she had born unto Abraham, mocking (red radius sucking on the lunar breast).
boasting that he was the firstborn, and that the inheritance belonged to him; and threatening what he would do to him, should he hereafter offer to dispute it with him, under pretence of the promise of God that he should be Abraham's heir, and at which promise also he may be supposed to mock: and that this contention was about the inheritance seems plain from the words of Sarah in Genesis 21:10; and in it Ishmael might not only rise to high words, but come to blows, and beat his brother; for it is observed the word used sometimes so signifies, 2 Samuel 2:14; wherefore the apostle might truly call it a persecution, Galatians 4:29; and as even cruel mockings are, Hebrews 11:35.
Paul refers to the word to denote “teasing” and “persecution”; hence Galatians 4:29.
10 Wherefore she (Pollux-Sarah)(red radius) said unto Abraham (Ophiuchus), Cast out this bondwoman (Coma) and her son (Coma): for the son of this bondwoman (Coma) shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac (laughter).
Paul makes these two women to be types and figures of the two covenants, and their sons of those that are under them, see Galatians 4:22.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's (red radius) sight because of his son (Ishmael).
12 And God (red radius) said unto Abraham (Ophiuchus), Let it not be grievous in thy (red radius) sight because of the lad (Coma), and because of thy bondwoman (Coma); in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, (lunar ear) hearken unto her (red radius) voice; for in Isaac (laughter) shall thy seed be called (SAXONS).
what she said became a divine oracle, and is called the Scripture, Galatians 4:30; for the word "all" here must be restrained to what she had said concerning Hagar and Ishmael, and their ejection, and not to be extended to everything she had said, or should say to Abraham, to which he was always to be attentive: whereas on the other hand, it became her, as a wife, to hearken and be obedient to the voice of her husband: but in this particular Abraham is bid to listen to her, and do accordingl
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman (Coma) will I make a nation, because he is thy (solar or lunar) seed.
Saracens who are thought to have that name from the Arabic word "sarac" ("furatus fuit, furto abstulit", Golius, col. 1167. Castel. col. 2626.), to thieve; though they would have it derived from Sarah
14 And Abraham (Ophiuchus) rose up early in the morning (sun on red radius horizon), and took (solar golden) bread, and a bottle of (lunar crescent) water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her (Pollux) shoulder, and the (Castor) child, and (red radius) sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the water was (red radius) spent in the (lunar) bottle, and she cast the child under one of the (Green Milky Way) shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off (Coma), as it were a (red radius lines) bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the (Pollux) child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her (red radius) voice, and wept.
17 And God heard the (red radius) voice of the (Pollux) lad; and the angel of God (Argo) called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath (lunar ear) heard the voice of the (Pollux) lad where he is.
Once more we have a play upon the name of Ishmael with its meaning of “God heareth.” Cf. Genesis 16:11.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 And God (Argo) opened her (lunar Pollux) eyes, and she saw a (lunar) well of water; and she went, and filled the (lunar) bottle with water, and gave the (Pollux) lad drink.
20 And God (Pollux) was with the lad (Castor); and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an (Castor) archer.
his posterity the Kedarenes, who sprung from his son Kedar, were famous for archery, Isaiah 21:17; and the Ituraeans, from Jetur, another of his sons, Genesis 25:15, were remarkable for their bows, of which Virgil ( "Ithyraeos taxi curvantur in arcus". Georgic. l. 2. ver. 448.) speaks; and so the Arabians that live in the deserts and round about them, called Nabathees, from Nabaioth, another son of Ishmael, are now extraordinary marksmen for bows and arrows, and to sling darts which are made of cane ( Rauwolff's Travels, par. 2. ch. 4. p. 118. by Ray).
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother (Coma) took him a (Virgo) wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech (Pollux) and Phichol (Castor) the chief captain of his host (red radius) spake unto Abraham (Ophiuchus), saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
23 Now therefore (red radius) 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.
24 And Abraham (Ophiuchus) (red radius) said, I will swear.
25 And Abraham (red radius) reproved Abimelech (Pollux) because of a (lunar) well of water, which Abimelech's (Gemini) servants had (red radius) violently taken away.
26 And Abimelech (red radius) said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou (red radius) tell me, neither yet (lunar ear) heard I of it, but to day.
27 And Abraham took (Aries) sheep and (Taurus) oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
or, "cut or struck a covenant"; cut the sacrifice in pieces and passed between them, in token of the compact and agreement they entered into with each other; signifying that whoever broke it deserved to be cut in pieces as those creatures were.
28 And Abraham (Ophiuchus) set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves (Scorpio's seven-segmented tail).
The number “seven” (sheba‘) is one of the explanations of the name “Beer-sheba.” This derivation of Beer-sheba, as “the well of swearing,” is clearly not a complete explanation of the word. The correct derivation—“the well of seven”—is probably hinted at in Abraham’s pledge of the seven lambs. At Beer sheba, there were also “seven” wells, which can even now be identified. But there is a close connexion between the Heb. word “seven,” and the Heb. word “to swear”; and if, as seems probable, the Heb. nishba‘ “to swear” meant originally “to bind oneself by staking, or pledging, seven things,” we can see that the well of “seven” and the well of “swearing” were practically identical in significance.
29 And Abimelech (Pollux) (red radius) said unto Abraham (Ophiuchus), What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
30 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this (lunar crescent) well.
31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech (Pollux) rose up, and Phichol (Castor) the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 And Abraham (Ophiuchus) planted a grove in Beersheba, and (red radius) called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
34 And Abraham sojourned (Ophiuchus walking) in the Philistines' land many days.
