Genesis 21:14-19

14And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave [it] to Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder — and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

15And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,

16and she went and sat down over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lifted up her voice and wept.

17And 1God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of 2God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What [aileth] thee, Hagar? Fear not; for 3God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.

18Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.

19And 4God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.
