Genesis 21:1-14 ▼

1 And YHWH has looked after Sarah as He has said, and YHWH does to Sarah as He has spoken;

2 and Sarah conceives, and bears a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God has spoken of with him;

11 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake;

12 and God says to Abraham, “Let it not be wrong in your eyes because of the youth, and because of your handmaid: all that Sarah says to you—listen to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to you.

13 As for the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] your seed.”

14 And Abraham rises early in the morning, and takes bread, and a bottle of water, and gives to Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the boy, and sends her out; and she goes on, and goes astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
