Genesis 21:9-16

9And SarahH8283 sawH7200 the sonH1121 of HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, whichH834 sheH834 had borneH3205 unto AbrahamH85, mockingH6711.

10Wherefore sheH3588 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, CastH3423 outH3423 this bondwoman and herH559 sonH1121: for the sonH1121 of this bondwoman shall notH3808 be heirH3423 with my sonH1121, evenH3588 with IsaacH3327.

11And the thingH1697 was veryH3966 grievous in Abraham’sH85 sightH5869 on accountH5921 of his sonH1121.

12And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, LetH408 it notH408 be grievous in thy sightH5869 becauseH3588 of the ladH5288, and becauseH3588 of thy bondwoman; in allH3605 that SarahH8283 saith unto thee, hearken unto herH3605 voiceH6963; for in IsaacH3327 shall thy seedH2233 be calledH7121.

13And also of the sonH1121 of the bondwoman will I makeH7760 a nationH1471, becauseH3588 he is thy seedH2233.

14And AbrahamH85 roseH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 breadH3899 and a bottle of waterH4325, and gaveH5414 it unto HagarH1904, puttingH5414 it on herH413 shoulderH7926, and the childH3206, and sentH7971 herH413 awayH7971: and she departed, and wanderedH8582 in the wildernessH4057 of Beer-sheba.

15And the waterH4325 in the bottle was spentH3615, and she castH7993 the childH3206 underH8478 one of the shrubs.

16And sheH3588 wentH7368, and satH3427 herH7200 downH3427 over againstH5048 him a goodH7368 way offH5375, as it were a bowshot: for sheH3588 saidH559, LetH408 meH6963 notH408 lookH7200 uponH3427 the deathH4194 of the childH3206. And sheH3588 satH3427 over againstH5048 him, and liftH5375 upH5375 herH7200 voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
