Genesis 21:1 Now Yhwh took account of Sara as he had said,
Yhwh dealt with Sara as he had spoken.
2 Sara became pregnant and bore Avraham a son in his old age,
at the set-time of which God had spoken to him.
3 And Avraham called the name of his son, who was born to him,
whom Sara bore to him:
Yitzhak/He Laughs.
4 And Avraham circumcised Yitzhak his son at eight days old,
as God had commanded him.
5 Avraham was a hundred years old when Yitzhak his son was born to him.
6 Now Sara said:
God has made laughter for me,
all who hear of it will laugh for me.
7 And she said:
Who would have declared to Avraham:
Sara will nurse sons?
Well, I have borne him a son in his old age!
8 The child grew and was weaned,
and Avraham made a great drinking-feast on the day that Yitzhak was weaned.
9 Once Sara saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian-woman, whom
she had borne to Avraham, laughing….
10 She said to Avraham:
Drive out this slave-woman and her son,
for the son of this slave-woman shall not share-inheritance with my son, with Yitzhak!
11 The matter was exceedingly bad in Avraham’s eyes because of
his son.
12 But God said to Avraham:
Do not let it be bad in your eyes concerning the lad and concerning your slave-woman;
in all that Sara says to you, hearken to her voice,
for it is through Yitzhak that seed will be called by your (name).
13 But also the son of the slave-woman—a nation will I make of him,
for he too is your seed.
14 Avraham started-early in the morning,
he took some bread and a skin of water
and gave them to Hagar—placing them upon her shoulder—
together with the child and sent her away.
She went off and roamed in the wilderness of Be’er-Sheva.
15 Now when the water in the skin was at an end, she threw the child under one of the bushes,
16 and went and sat by herself, at-a-distance, as far away as a
bowshot,
for she said to herself:
Let me not see the child die!
So she sat at-a-distance, and lifted up her voice and wept.
17 But God heard the voice of the lad,
God’s messenger called to Hagar from heaven and said to her:
What ails you, Hagar? Do not be afraid,
for God has heard the voice of the lad there where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad and grasp him with your hand,
for a great nation will I make of him!
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water;
she went, filled the skin with water, and gave the lad to drink.
20 And God was with the lad as he grew up,
he settled in the wilderness, and became an archer, a bowman.
21 He settled in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took him a wife from the land of
Egypt.
