Genesis 21:6-21

6And SarahH8283 saidH559, 1GodH430 has madeH6213 me laughH6711: all that hearH8085 will laughH6711 with me.

7And she saidH559, Who would have saidH559 to AbrahamH85, SarahH8283 will suckle children? For I have borneH3205 [him] a sonH1121 in his old age.

8And the childH3206 grewH1431, and was weanedH1580. And AbrahamH85 madeH6213 a greatH1419 feastH4960 on the dayH3117 that IsaacH3327 was weanedH1580.

9And SarahH8283 sawH7200 the sonH1121 of HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, whom she had borneH3205 to AbrahamH85, mockingH6711.

10And she saidH559 to AbrahamH85, Cast out this handmaid and her sonH1121; for the sonH1121 of this handmaid shall not inheritH3423 with my sonH1121 — with IsaacH3327.

11And the thingH1697 was veryH3966 grievous in Abraham's sight because of his sonH1121.

12And 2GodH430 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the ladH5288 and because of thy handmaid: [in] all that SarahH8283 hath saidH559 to thee hearken to her voiceH6963, for in IsaacH3327 shall a seedH2233 be calledH7121 to thee.

13But alsoH1571 the sonH1121 of the handmaid will I makeH7760 a nationH1471, because he is thy seedH2233.

14And AbrahamH85 roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 breadH3899, and a flask of waterH4325, and gaveH5414 [it] to HagarH1904, puttingH5414 [it] on her shoulderH7926 — and the childH3206, and sentH7971 her awayH7971. And she departed, and wanderedH8582 about in the wildernessH4057 of Beer-sheba.

15And the waterH4325 was exhaustedH3615 from the flask; and she castH7993 the childH3206 under oneH259 of the shrubs,

16and she went and satH3427 downH3427 over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she saidH559, Let me not behold the deathH4194 of the childH3206. And she satH3427 over against [him], and liftedH5375 up her voiceH6963 and weptH1058.

17And 3GodH430 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288. And the AngelH4397 of 4GodH430 calledH7121 to HagarH1904 from the heavensH8064, and saidH559 to her, What [aileth] thee, HagarH1904? FearH3372 not; for 5GodH430 hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288 there, whereH834 he is.

18AriseH6965, takeH5375 the ladH5288, and holdH2388 him in thy handH3027; for I will makeH7760 of him a greatH1419 nationH1471.

19And 6GodH430 openedH6491 her eyesH5869, and she sawH7200 a wellH875 of waterH4325; and she went and filledH4390 the flask with waterH4325, and gaveH8248 the ladH5288 drinkH8248.

20And 7GodH430 wasH1961 with the ladH5288, and he grewH1431; and he dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057, and becameH1961 an archer.

21And he dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290. And his motherH517 tookH3947 him a wifeH802 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
