Genesis 21:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 ¶ But God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight for the child, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sarah shall say unto thee, hear her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be [a]called.
13 As for the son of the bondwoman, I will make him [b]a nation also, because he is thy seed.
14 So Abraham arose up early in the morning and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar putting it on her shoulder, and the child also, and [c]sent her away: who departing, wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
