Abraham sent Hagar and her son Ishmael away

Abraham sent Hagar and her son Ishmael away

8The baby grew and was weaned when he was about three years old. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate. 9One day/During the feast► Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was making fun of/playing with► Isaac. 10So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!” 11Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son Ishmael. 12But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about your son, Ishmael, and about your maidservant, Hagar. Do everything that Sarah tells you to do. Listen to her, because Isaac is the one who will be considered the ancestor of the descendants I promised to give you. 13But I will also cause the son of your maidservant to be the ancestor of the people of a great nation [MTY], because he is also your son.” 14So Abraham got up early the next morning. He got some food ready, put water in a container, and gave them to Hagar. He put them in a bag on her shoulder and sent them away.

They wandered in the desert near Beersheba town. 15After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there. 16Then she went and sat nearby, about as far as someone can shoot an arrow/100 meters away►, because she thought, “I cannot endure seeing my son die!” As she sat there, she began to cry loudly [MTY]. 17The boy was crying too. And God heard the boy crying. So he caused one of his angels to call out from heaven to Hagar, saying, “Hagar, are you worried about something? Do not be afraid, because God has heard the boy crying there. 18Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.” 19Then God showed her a well of water. So she went to the well and filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.

20God helped the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a good archer/man who hunts with bow and arrows►. 21He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.

22At that time, King Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “It is clear that God helps you with everything that you do. 23So now solemnly promise/swear► to me here, as God is listening, that you will not deceive/act fairly to► me and my children and my descendants, in return for my being kind to you. Be kind to me and to all the people here in the country where you are now living.” 24So Abraham promised to do that.

25Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized. 26But Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done that. You did not tell me previously, and I did not hear about it until today.” 27So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a treaty/peace agreement►. 28Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock. 29Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?” 30Abraham replied, “I want you truly to accept these female lambs from me [SYN], so that it may be a public witness/proof► that this well belongs to me because I dug it.” 31So Abimelech accepted the animals, and as a result they called that place Beersheba, which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’, because there the two of them made that agreement. 32After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group. 33Abraham planted a tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel► there, and he worshiped the eternal God there. 34Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
