Genesis 21:7-16 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

7. And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? for I have borne him a son in his old age.

8. And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned.

9. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

10. Wherefore, she said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman, and her son: for the son of this bond-woman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

11. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son.

12. And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond-woman; in all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

13. And also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

14. And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar (putting it on her shoulder) and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

15. And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

16. And she went, and sat her down over against him, a good way off, as it were a bow-shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and raised her voice, and wept.
