Genesis 21:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

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] 15} After they had drunk all the water, Hagar put her son in the shade under a bush. ¹⁶ She herself went and sat down about 100 metres away from him. She thought, ‘I cannot watch the boy die.’ As she sat there, she began to cry.
