Genesis 21:8-21 - Hagar And Ishmael

⁸ The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast, the same day that Isaac was weaned. ⁹ Sara saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, a mocking. ¹⁰ Then she said unto Abraham, "Put away this bondmaid and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."

¹¹ But the word seemed very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son. ¹² Then the LORD said unto Abraham, "Let it not be grievous unto thee, because of the lad and of thy bondmaid: But in all that Sara hath said unto thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. ¹³ Moreover 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 with water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulders with the lad also, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered up and down in the wilderness of Beersheba. ¹⁵ When the water was spent that was in the bottle, she cast the lad under a bush ¹⁶ and went and sat her out of sight a great way; as it were a bowshot off. For she said, "I will not see the lad die." And she sat down out of sight, and lift up her voice and wept.

¹⁷ And God heard the voice of the child. And the angel of God called Hagar out of heaven and said unto her, "What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God hath heard the voice of the child where he lieth. ¹⁸ Arise and lift up the lad, and take him in thy hand, for I will make of him a great people." 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 boy 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 got him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
