Genesis 21:8–21

⁸And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.

⁹And when Sara had seen the son of Agar, the Egyptian, playing with Isaac, her son, she said to Abraham:

¹⁰Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.

¹¹Abraham took this grievously for his son.

¹²And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

¹³But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.

¹⁴So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.

¹⁵And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.

¹⁶And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off, as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.

¹⁷And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.

¹⁸Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand, for I will make him a great nation.

¹⁹And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.

²⁰And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.

²¹And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
