Genesis 21:9-21
-
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
-
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
-
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
-
12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
-
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
-
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
-
15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
-
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
-
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
-
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
-
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.
-
20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
-
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
