¹⁵ And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.

¹² Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:

²² Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

²³ Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.

²⁸ The sons of Abraham: Isaac and Ishmael.

²⁷ Let us give him to these Ishmaelites for a price, and let us not put violent hands on him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers gave ear to him.

⁹ So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

⁹ And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;

⁹ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.

¹⁰ So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.

¹¹ And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.

¹² But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name.

¹³ And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.

¹⁴ And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba.

¹⁵ And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.

¹⁶ And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.

¹⁷ And the boy's cry came to the ears of God; and the angel of God said to Hagar from heaven, Hagar, why are you weeping? have no fear, for the child's cry has come to the ears of God.

¹⁸ Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a great nation.

¹⁹ Then God made her eyes open, and she saw a water-spring, and she got water in the skin and gave the boy a drink.

²⁰ And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.

²¹ And while he was in the waste land of Paran, his mother got him a wife from the land of Egypt.

²⁵ And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he underwent circumcision.

²⁶ Abraham and Ishmael, his son, underwent circumcision on that very day.

²⁰ As for Ishmael, I have given ear to your prayer: truly I have given him my blessing and I will make him fertile and give him great increase; he will be the father of twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.

¹⁸ And Abraham said to God, If only Ishmael's life might be your care!

¹¹ And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.
