Hagar and Ishmael Are Sent Away

9

And Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto Abraham) mocking.

10

Wherefore she saide vnto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman and her sonne: for ye sonne of this bonde woman shall not be heire with my sonne Izhak.

11

And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.

12

But God said vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight for the childe, and for thy bonde woman: in all that Sarah shall say vnto thee, heare her voyce: for in Izhak shall thy seede be called.

13

As for the sonne of the bond woman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seede.

14

So Abraham arose vp early in ye morning, and tooke bread, and a bottell of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the childe also, and sent her away: who departing wandred in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba.

15

And when the water of the bottell was spent, she cast the childe vnder a certaine tree.

16

Then she went and sate her ouer against him a farre off about a bowe shoote: for she said, I will not see the death of the child. and she sate downe ouer against him, and lift vp her voyce and wept.

17

Then God heard the voyce of ye childe, and the Angel of God called to Hagar from heauen, and said vnto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? feare not, for God hath heard the voyce of the childe where he is.

18

Arise, take vp the childe, and holde him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people.

19

And God opened her eyes, and she sawe a well of water. so she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the boy drinke.

20

So God was with the childe, and he grewe and dwelt in the wildernesse, and was an archer.

21

And he dwelt in the wildernesse of Paran, and his mother tooke him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
