Gênesis 21:17-20

17 Mas Deus ouviu a voz do menino; e o anjo de Deus, bradando a Agar desde o céu, disse-lhe: Que tens, Agar? não temas, porque Deus ouviu a voz do menino desde o lugar onde está.

18 Ergue-te, levanta o menino e toma-o pela mão, porque dele farei uma grande nação.

19 E abriu-lhe Deus os olhos, e ela viu um poço; e foi encher de água o odre e deu de beber ao menino.

20 Deus estava com o menino, que cresceu e, morando no deserto, tornou-se flecheiro.

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 21

This chapter gives an account of the conception, birth, circumcision, and weaning of Isaac, Ge 21:1-8; of the mocking of Ishmael, and of the casting out of him and his mother from Abraham's house, at the request of Sarah, which, though grievous to Abraham, he complied with at the direction of God, Ge 21:9-13; of the provision Abraham made for their departure, and of the supply they met with in the wilderness from God, where Ishmael was brought up, and where he married, Ge 21:14-21; and of a covenant between Abraham and Abimelech, king of Gerar, Ge 21:22-32; and of Abraham's planting a grove, and calling on the name of the Lord, Ge 21:33; and the chapter is closed with this observation, that Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days, Ge 21:34.
