16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation.”
19. 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.
20. So God was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
