Genesis 21:8-21 — Hagar and Ishmael Sent Away
Gen.21.8-21
8The child grew and was weaned , and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned. 9But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking. 10So she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman will not inherit with my son, with Isaac.” 11And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham's sight on account of his son. 12But God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be displeasing in your sight concerning the boy and concerning your slave woman. Listen to her voice in all that Sarah says to you, for through Isaac your offspring will be named. 13But I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation, because he is your offspring." 14So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a waterskin of water, and gave them to Hagar, placing them on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. 15When the water from the waterskin was used up, she placed the child under one of the bushes. 16Then she went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bowshot, for she said, “Let me not look upon the death of the child.” And she sat opposite him, and 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 is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18Arise, lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand , for I will make him into a great nation." 19Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the waterskin with water, and gave the boy a drink. 20And God was with the boy, and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
