And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,

Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.

Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.

And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.

And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”

When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.

And she went, and sat her down over against 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 over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.

Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.

And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.

Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
