Genesis:21:9-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian ,
whom she had borne to Abraham ,
scoffing .
*
Therefore she said to Abraham , "
Cast out this bondwoman and her son ;
for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son ,
namely with Isaac ."
*
And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham '
s sight because of his son .
*
But God said to Abraham , "
Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman .
Whatever Sarah has said to you ,
listen to her voice ;
for in Isaac your seed shall be called .
*
Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman ,
because he is your seed ."
*
So Abraham rose early in the morning ,
and took bread and a skin of water ;
and putting it on her shoulder ,
he gave it and the boy to Hagar ,
and sent her away .
Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba .
*
And the water in the skin was used up ,
and she placed the boy under one of the shrubs .
*
Then she went and sat down across from him at a distance of about a bowshot ;
for she said to herself , "
Let me not see the death of the boy ."
So she sat opposite him ,
and lifted her voice and wept .
*
And God heard the voice of the lad .
Then the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven ,
and said to her , "
What ails you ,
Hagar ?
Fear not ,
for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is .
*
Arise ,
lift up the lad and hold him with your hand ,
for I will make him a great nation ."
*
Then God opened her eyes ,
and she saw a well of water .
And she went and filled the skin with water ,
and gave the lad a drink .
*
So God was with the lad ;
and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness ,
and became an archer .
*
He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran ;
and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt .
