13. But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder--and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15. And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
16. and she went and sat down over against him, a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice and wept.
17. And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.
18. Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.
19. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.
20. And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
