Genesis 21:8-21 - Hagar And Ishmael

⁸ And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. ⁹ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking. ¹⁰ Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son. For the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

¹¹ And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son. ¹² And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid. In all that Sarah says to thee, hearken to her voice. For in Isaac shall thy seed be called. ¹³ And also I will make a nation of the son of the handmaid, 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 to 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 in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. ¹⁶ And she went, and sat herself down opposite him a good way off, as it were a bowshot. For she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat opposite him, and the child lifted up its voice, and wept.

¹⁷ And God heard the voice of the lad. And the agent of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What troubles thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. ¹⁸ Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy 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 he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer. ²¹ And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
