Bereshit 16בראשית ט״ז

(1) Now, Sarai, Avram's wife, had not born him any children and she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. (2) Sarai said to Avram, "Behold, please, Hashem has kept me from bearing. Please, come to my maidservant. Perhaps I will have a son through her." And Avram listened to the voice of Sarai. (3) Sarai, Avram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her maidservant, after Avram had dwelled in the land of Canaan for ten years, and gave her to her husband, Avram, to be his wife. (4) He came to Hagar and she conceived, and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was dishonored in her eyes. (5) Sarai said to Avram, "The wrong done to me is your responsibility! I gave my maidservant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was dishonored in her eyes. May Hashem judge between me and you!" (6) Avram said to Sarai, "Here, your maidservant is in your hand. Do to her as you see fit." Sarai afflicted her, and she fled from her. (7) A messenger of Hashem found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. (8) He said, "Hagar, maidservant of Sarai! From where have you come and to where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai." (9) The messenger of Hashem said to her, "Return to your mistress, and be afflicted under her hands." (10) The messenger of Hashem said to her, "I will greatly multiply your offspring, and they will be too many to count." (11) The messenger of Hashem said to her, "Behold, you are pregnant and will bear a son. You shall name him Yishmael, because Hashem has heard your affliction. (12) He will be a wild ass of a man; his hand will be against all, and the hand of all against him, and he will dwell before all his brothers." (13) She called the name of Hashem who spoke to her, "You are El Ro'i", because she said, "Have I not, even here, seen the One who looks out for me?" (14) Therefore the well was called Be'er LaChai Ro'i. Here, it is between Kadesh and Bered. (15) Hagar bore Avram a son, and Avram named his son whom Hagar bore, Yishmael. (16) Avram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Yishmael to Avram.

Bereshit 21בראשית כ״א

(1) Hashem remembered Sarah as He had said and Hashem did for Sarah as He had spoken. (2) Sarah conceived and bore Avraham a son in his old age at the set time of which God had spoken to him. (3) Avraham named his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Yitzchak. (4) Avraham circumcised his son, Yitzchak, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. (5) And Avraham was one hundred years old when his son, Yitzchak, was born to him. (6) Sarah said, "God has brought laughter to me, all who hear will laugh with me!" (7) She said, "Who would have said to Avraham, 'Sarah will nurse sons!' Yet, I have born a child to him in his old age!" (8) The child grew and was weaned, and Avraham made a big feast on the day Yitzchak was weaned. (9) Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she bore to Avraham, acting lasciviously. (10) She said to Avraham, "Cast out this handmaid and her son, because the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son, with Yitzchak." (11) The matter was very troubling to Avraham, due to his son. (12) God said to Avraham, "Do not be troubled regarding the boy and your handmaid. All that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice, because it is through Yitzchak that your offspring will be renowned. (13) But also the son of the handmaid I will make into a great nation, because he is your offspring." (14) Avraham rose early in the morning and he took bread and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar, placing them on her shoulder, with the child, and she went and strayed in the Wilderness of Be'er Sheva. (15) The water from the skin ran out, and she cast the child under one of the bushes. (16) She went and sat across from him, about a bowshot away, because she said, "Let me not see the death of the child", and she sat across and raised her voice and wept. (17) God heard the voice of the boy and an angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens and said to her, "What troubles you Hagar? Do not be afraid, as Hashem has heard the voice of the boy where he is. (18) Rise and lift up the boy, and hold him by your hand, because I will make a great nation of him." (19) God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the skin with water, and gave to the boy to drink. (20) God was with the boy and he grew up; he dwelled in the wilderness and became a bowsman. (21) He dwelled in the Wilderness of Paran and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. (22) At that time, Avimelekh and Pikhol, the commander of his army, spoke to Avraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do. (23) Now, swear to me here, by God, that you will not deal falsely with me, my children, or my grandchildren. Like the kindness that I have done for you, do for me and for the land in which you sojourned." (24) Avraham said, "I will swear." (25) Avraham reproached Avimelekh regarding the well of water which Avimelekh's servants had seized. (26) Avimelekh said, "I do not know who did this thing and you, too, never told me! Nor did I even hear of it until today!" (27) Avraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Avimelekh and the two of them made a treaty. (28) Avraham set seven ewes from the flock by themselves. (29) Avimelekh said, "What are these seven ewes that you set by themselves?" (30) He said, "These seven ewes you shall take from my hand, to serve as testimony for me that I dug this well." (31) Therefore, he called that place Be'er Sheva, because the two had sworn there. (32) They made a treaty in Be'er Sheva, and Avimelekh and Pikhol, the commander of his army, rose and returned to the land of the Philistines. (33) He planted a tamarisk in Be'er Sheva and called there in the name of Hashem, the eternal God. (34) Avraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.

(טו) וַיִּכְלוּ הַמַּיִם מִן הַחֵמֶת וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ אֶת הַיֶּלֶד תַּחַת אַחַד הַשִּׂיחִם. (טז) וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתֵּשֶׁב לָהּ מִנֶּגֶד הַרְחֵק כִּמְטַחֲוֵי קֶשֶׁת כִּי אָמְרָה אַל אֶרְאֶה בְּמוֹת הַיָּלֶד וַתֵּשֶׁב מִנֶּגֶד וַתִּשָּׂא אֶת קֹלָהּ וַתֵּבְךְּ. (יז) וַיִּשְׁמַע אֱלֹהִים אֶת קוֹל הַנַּעַר וַיִּקְרָא מַלְאַךְ אֱלֹהִים אֶל הָגָר מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ מַה לָּךְ הָגָר אַל תִּירְאִי כִּי שָׁמַע אֱלֹהִים אֶל קוֹל הַנַּעַר בַּאֲשֶׁר הוּא שָׁם. (יח) קוּמִי שְׂאִי אֶת הַנַּעַר וְהַחֲזִיקִי אֶת יָדֵךְ בּוֹ כִּי לְגוֹי גָּדוֹל אֲשִׂימֶנּוּ.
