14. So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a bottle of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulders, and he sent her and the youth away. And she wandered on [aimlessly] and lost her way in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15. When the water in the bottle was all gone, Hagar caused the youth to lie down under one of the shrubs.
16. Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about a bowshot, for she said, Let me not see the death of the lad. And as she sat down opposite him, he lifted up his voice and wept and she raised her voice and wept.
17. And God heard the voice of the youth, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said to her, What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the youth where he is.
18. Arise, raise up the youth and support him with your hand, for I intend to make him a great nation.
19. Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the [empty] bottle with water and caused the youth to drink.
20. And God was with the youth, and he developed; and he dwelt in the wilderness and became an archer.
21. He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
22. At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, God is with you in everything you do.
23. So now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my son or with my posterity; but as I have dealt with you kindly, you will do the same with me and with the land in which you have sojourned.
