Genesis - ch 21 v 1 - 20
- And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as he had spoken.
- And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
- And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
- And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
- And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
- And Sarah said, God has made me laugh: all that hear will laugh with me.
- And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.
- And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
- And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
- And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son -- with Isaac.
- And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
- And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: in all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
- But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
- And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder -- and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
- And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
- and she went and sat down over against him, a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice and wept.
- And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.
- Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.
- And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.
- And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
