Genesis 21:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² God said to Abraham, ‘Do not be upset about Ishmael or about Hagar. Do whatever Sarah tells you. Your family's descendants will come through Isaac, not Ishmael. ¹³ But, because Ishmael is also your son, I will make his descendants become a great nation of people too.’

¹⁴ Abraham woke up early the next morning. He took some food and some water in a bottle that was made from animal skin. He gave them to Hagar and he put them on her shoulders. Then he sent Hagar away, with their son, Ishmael.

She went and she travelled round the wilderness of Beersheba.^[a]
