8 The time came when Sarah no longer had to nurse Isaac, and on that day Abraham gave a big feast.
9-10 One day, Sarah noticed Hagar's son Ishmael playing, and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that Egyptian slave woman and her son! I don't want him to inherit anything. It should all go to my son.”
11 Abraham was worried about Ishmael.
12 But God said, “Abraham, don't worry about your slave woman and the boy. Just do what Sarah tells you. Isaac will inherit your family name,
13 but the son of the slave woman is also your son, and I will make his descendants into a great nation.”
14 Early the next morning Abraham gave Hagar an animal skin full of water and some bread. Then he put the boy on her shoulder and sent them away.They wandered around in the desert near Beersheba,
15 and after they had run out of water, Hagar put her son under a bush.
