^{9 Ref} and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,

^{10 Ref} and she saith to Abraham, `Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son -- with Isaac.'

^{11 Ref} And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;

^{12 Ref} and God saith unto Abraham, `Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee -- hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.

^{13 Ref} As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he `is' thy seed.'

^{14 Ref} And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing `it' on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;

^{15 Ref} and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.

^{16 Ref} And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.

^{17 Ref} And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, `What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he `is';

^{18 Ref} rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'

^{19 Ref} And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle `with' water, and causeth the youth to drink;

^{20 Ref} and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;

^{21 Ref} and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
