14 And so Abraham rose vp early in the mornyng, and tooke bread, and a bottel of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, puttyng it on her shoulder, and the lad also, and sent her away: who departing, wandered vp and downe in the wildernesse of Beer seba. 15 And the water was spent in the bottell, and she cast the lad vnder some one of the trees: 16 And went, and sate on the other syde a great way, as it were a bowe shote of: for she sayd, I wyll not see the death of the chylde. And she sitting downe on the other side, lyft vp her voyce & wept. 17 And God hearde the voyce of the lad, and the angell of God called to Hagar out of heauen, and said vnto her, what ayleth thee Hagar? feare not: for God hath hearde the voyce of the lad where he lyeth. 18 Aryse and lyft vp the lad, and take him in thyne hande, for I wyll make of hym a great people. 19 And God opened her eyes, and she sawe a well of water, and she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the lad drinke. 20 And God was with the lad, and he grewe, and dwelt in the wyldernesse, and became a principall archer.
