13
And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
14
And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gave to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departed wandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath.
15
And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree.
16
And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I cannot see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloud and wept.
17
And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of God called Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice of the child from the place where he is.
18
Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in thine hand, for I will make him a great nation.
19
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the child drink.
20
And God was with the child, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21
And he dwelt in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt.
22
And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with thee in all things, whatsoever thou mayest do.
23
Now therefore swear to me by God that thou wilt not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with thee thou shalt deal with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.
