Genesis 21:8-21
8
The child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham
made a great feast on the day that Isaac was
weaned.
9
But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian,
whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with
her son Isaac. 10So she said to Abraham, “Cast out
this slave woman with her son; for the son of this
slave woman shall not inherit along with my son
Isaac.” 11The matter was very distressing to
Abraham on account of his son. 12But God said to
Abraham, “Do not be distressed because of the
boy and because of your slave woman; whatever
Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for it is
through Isaac that offspring shall be named for
you. 13As for the son of the slave woman, I will
make a nation of him also, because he is your
offspring.”
14
So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took
bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar,
putting it on her shoulder, along with the child,
and sent her away. And she departed, and
wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15
When the water in the skin was gone, she cast
the child under one of the bushes. 16Then she
went and sat down opposite him a good way off,
about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, “Do
not let me look on the death of the child.” And as
she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and
wept. 17And God heard the voice of the boy; and
the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and
said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be
afraid; for God has heard the voice of the boy
where he is. 18Come, lift up the boy and hold him
fast with your hand, for I will make a great nation
of him.” 19Then God opened her eyes and she saw
a well of water. She went, and filled the skin with
water, and gave the boy a drink. 20God was with
the boy, and he grew up; he lived in the
wilderness, and became an expert with the bow.
21
He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his
mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
