Genesis 21:14-21
14 So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder, and gave her the child, and sent her away. So she went and wandered about in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 When the water in the skin was finished, she put the child under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, “Do not let me see when the child dies.” And she sat opposite him and alifted up her voice and wept. 17 Then God aheard the voice of the boy crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter with you, Hagar? bDo not fear, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18 Arise, lift up the boy, and hold him by the hand, afor I will make a great nation of him.” 19 Then God aopened her eyes, and she saw ba well of water; and she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 aAnd God was with the boy, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and was an archer. 21 aAnd he lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
