8The youth grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.9Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing.10She said to Abraham, "Drive out this maidservant and her son, for the son of this maidservant shall not possess with my son, with Isaac."11The matter was very evil in Abraham's eyes because of his son.12God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be evil in your eyes concerning the youth and your maidservant; hear whatever Sarah says to you, for through Isaac your seed shall be called."13I will also make the son of the maidservant into a nation, for he is your seed.14Abraham rose early in the morning, took bread and a skin of water, and gave them to Hagar, placing them on her shoulder along with the youth; then he sent her away, and she went and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.15When the water was gone from the skin, she cast the youth under one of the bushes.16She went and sat at a distance, as far as a bowshot away, for she said, "Let me not see the death of the youth." She sat opposite and lifted her voice and wept.17God heard the voice of the youth, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the youth where he is."18Arise, lift up the youth and take hold of his hand with yours, for I will make him into a great nation.19God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; she went, filled the skin with water, and gave the youth a drink.20God was with the youth, and he grew and lived in the wilderness and became an archer.21He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
