slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.” (Gen 21:8-11 ESV)

God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of [Ishmael] because
of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for
through Isaac shall your o
ff
spring be named. And I will make a nation of
[Ishmael] also because he is your o
ff
spring.” (Gen 21:11-13 ESV)

and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with [Ishmael] and
sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of
Beersheba. (Gen 21:14 ESV)
57
58. When the water in the skin was gone, she put [Ishmael] under one of the
bushes. Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way o
ff
, about
the distance of a bowshot, for she said, “Let me not look on the death of
the child.” And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept.
(Gen 21:15-17 ESV)
58
59. And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to
Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not,
for God has heard the voice of [Ishmael] where he is. Up! Lift up [Ishmael],
and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
(Gen 21:17-18 ESV)
59
60. Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went
and
fi
lled the skin with water and gave [Ishmael] a drink. And God was
with the boy, and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an
expert with the bow. He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother
took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. (Gen 21:19-21 ESV)
