Genesis 21:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ She went and sat down by herself, across from him, at a distance, about a bow shot away, because she said, “Do not let me see the death of the child.” She sat across from him and wept loudly.

¹⁷ God heard the boy’s voice, and the Angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said to her, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the boy’s voice right where he is. ¹⁸ Get up. Help the boy up, and take him by the hand, because I will make him into a great nation.”
