Abraham Casting Out Hagar and Ishmael by Pieter Lastman, Genesis 21:8-21, Bible.Gallery

Genesis 21:8-21

Genesis 21:8

The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

Genesis 21:9

Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

Genesis 21:10

Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

Genesis 21:11

The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

Genesis 21:12

God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.

Genesis 21:13

I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”

Genesis 21:14

Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

Genesis 21:15

The water in the bottle was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.

Genesis 21:16

She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.

Genesis 21:17

God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

Genesis 21:18

Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”

Genesis 21:19

God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.

Genesis 21:20

God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.

Genesis 21:21

He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
