12 And God said unto Abraham,
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is your descendant.
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a skin of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the water was used up in the skin, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat down apart from him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat away from him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her,
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him with your hand; for I will make him a great nation.
