He acted as though he wanted to go farther, 29 but they urged him,“Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 At this point their eyes were opened and they recognized him. Then he vanished out of their sight.

    14Early in the morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He put them on her shoulders, gave her the child, and sent her away. So she went wandering aimlessly through the wilderness of Beer Sheba.

    15When the water in the skin was gone, she shoved the child under one of the shrubs.

    16Then she went and sat down by herself across from him at quite a distance, about a bowshot, away; for she thought,“I refuse to watch the child die.” So she sat across from him and wept uncontrollably.

    17But God heard the boy’s voice. The angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and asked her,“What is the matter, Hagar? Don’t be afraid, for God has heard the boy’s voice right where he is crying.

    18Get up! Help the boy up and hold him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”

    17Abraham’s servant ran to meet her and said,“Please give me a sip of water from your jug.”

    18“Drink, my lord,” she replied, and quickly lowering her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink.

    19When she had done so, she said,“I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have drunk as much as they want.”

    20She quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water until she had drawn enough for all his camels.
