Genesis 21:14-19

14Early in the morningH1242, AbrahamH85 got upH7925, tookH3947 breadH3899 and a skin of waterH2573H4325H5414H413, put themH7760 onH5921 Hagar’sH1904 shouldersH7926, and sent her away with the boyH3206H7971. She leftH1980 and wanderedH8582 in the WildernessH4057 ofH884 BeershebaH884. 15When the waterH4325 inH4480 the skinH2573 was goneH3615, she leftH7993 the boyH3206 underH8478 oneH259 of the bushesH7880. 16Then she went offH1980 and sat downH3427 nearbyH5048, about a bowshotH2909H7198 awayH7368, forH3588 she saidH559, “I cannotH408 bear to watchH7200 the boyH3206 dieH4194!” And as she satH3427 nearbyH5048, she lifted upH5375 her voiceH6963 and weptH1058.1

17Then GodH430 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the boyH5288, and the angelH4397 of GodH430 calledH7121 toH413 HagarH1904 fromH4480 heavenH8064, “What is wrongH4100, HagarH1904? Do notH408 be afraidH3372, forH3588 GodH430H413 has heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the boyH5288 whereH834 heH1931 liesH8033. 18Get upH6965, lift upH5375 the boyH5288, and takeH2388 him by the handH3027, forH3588 I will make himH7760 into a greatH1419 nationH1471.” 19Then GodH430 openedH6491 her eyesH5869, and she sawH7200 a wellH875 of waterH4325. So she wentH1980 and filledH4390 the skin with waterH2573H4325 and gave the boyH5288 a drinkH8248.
