14So AbrahamH85 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and tookH3947 breadH3899 and a 1skinH2573 of waterH4325 and gaveH5414 them to HagarH1904, puttingH7760 them on her shoulderH7926, and gave her the boyH3206, and sentH7971 her awayH7971. And she departedH1980 and wanderedH8582 about in the wildernessH4057 of BeershebaH884.

15When the waterH4325 in the skinH2573 was usedH3615 up, she 2leftH7993 the boyH3206 underH8478 oneH259 of the bushesH7880. 16Then she wentH1980 and satH3427 downH3427 oppositeH4480H5048 him, about a bowshotH2909H7198 awayH7368, for she saidH559, “Do not let me 3seeH7200 the boyH3206 dieH4194.” And she satH3427 oppositeH4480H5048 him, and 4liftedH5375 up her voiceH6963 and weptH1058.
