14. And Avraham rose up early in the boker, and took lechem, and a skin of mayim, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the yeled, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the midbar of Beer-Sheva.
15. And the mayim in the skin was done, and she cast the yeled under one of the bushes.
16. And she went off, and sat down about a bowshot away: for she thought, Let me not see the mot hayeled. And she sat there nearby, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17. And Elohim heard the voice of the na'ar; and the Malach Elohim called to Hagar out of Shomayim, and said unto her, Mah lach, Hagar? fear not; for Elohim hath heard the voice of the na'ar where he is.
18. Arise, lift up the na'ar, and hold him in thine yad; for I will make him a goy gadol.
19. And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a be'er of mayim; and she went, and filled the skin with mayim, and gave the na'ar drink.
20. And Elohim was with the na'ar; and he grew, and dwelt in the midbar, and became a roveh keshet (an archer).
21. And he dwelt in the midbar of Paran: and his em got him an isha out of Eretz Mitzrayim.
22. And it came to pass at that time, that Avimelech and Phichol the sar tz'va of his spoke unto Avraham, saying, Elohim is with thee in all that thou doest:
23. Now therefore swear unto me here before Elohim that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my child, nor with my descendant: but according to the chesed that I have showed thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the eretz wherein thou hast sojourned.
24. And Avraham said, I will swear.
25. And Avraham reproved Avimelech because of a be'er hamayim, which Avimelech's avadim had violently seized.
26. And Avimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.
