*
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian ,
which she had born unto Abraham ,
mocking .
*
Wherefore she said unto Abraham ,
Cast out this bondwoman and her son :
for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son ,
even with Isaac .
*
And the thing was very grievous in Abrahams sight because of his son .
*
And God said unto Abraham ,
Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad na #
ar #,
and because of thy bondwoman ;
in all that Sarah hath said unto thee ,
hearken unto her voice ;
for in Isaac shall thy seed be called .
*
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation ,
because he is thy seed .
*
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 B @#
er .
*
And the water was spent in the bottle ,
and she cast the child under one of the shrubs .
*
And she went ,
and sat her down over against him a good way off ,
as it were a bowshot :
for she said ,
Let me not see the death of the child .
And she sat over against him ,
and lift up her voice ,
and wept .
*
And God heard the voice of the lad na #
ar #;
and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven ,
and said unto her ,
What aileth thee ,
Hagar ?
fear not ;
for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is .
*
Arise ,
lift up the lad na #
ar #,
and hold him in thine hand ;
for I will make him a great nation .
*
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 .
*
And God was with the lad na #
ar #;
and he grew ,
and dwelt in the wilderness ,
and became an archer .
*
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran Pa #
ran #:
and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt .
