New Testament

Genesis 21:10-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. Therefore she said to Abraham, “Throw out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

11. This matter was very displeasing in Abraham’s sight because of his son.

12. But God said to Abraham, “Do not be upset concerning the boy and your slave wife. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to what she says, for in Isaac your descendants will be called.

13. Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the slave woman, because he is your offspring.”

14. So Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and sent her away with the child. So she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.

15. When the water in the skin was gone, she placed the child under one of the shrubs.
