And my covenant will I set up with Isaak whom Sarah shall bring forth to thee at this appointed time in another year.

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.

And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.
