What Came Before:
AFTER Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, Abraham moved his
tent and his camp away from that part of the land, and went to live near a place
called Gerar, in the southwest, not far from the Great Sea. And there at last,
the child whom God had promised to Abraham and Sarah was born, when Abraham his
father was a hundred years old.
They named this child Isaac, as the angel had told them he should be named. And
Abraham and Sarah were so happy to have a little boy, that after a time they
gave a great feast to all the people, in honor of the little Isaac.
You remember the story about Sarah's maid Hagar, the Egyptian woman, and how she
ran away from her mistress, and saw an angel by a well, and afterward came back
to Sarah, and had a child whose name was Ishmael. So now there were two boys in
Abraham's tent, the older boy, Ishmael, the son of Hagar, and the younger boy,
Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah.
Ishmael did not like the little Isaac, and did not treat him kindly. This made
his mother Sarah very angry, and she said to her husband, " I do not wish to
have this boy Ishmael growing up with my son Isaac. Send away Hagar and her boy,
for they are a trouble to me."...
Then the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said
to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad
where he is. Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for I will make
him a great nation.”
Genesis 21:17-18

But the Lord said to 'Abraham, "Do not be troubled about Ishmael and his mother. Do as Sarah has asked you to do, and send them away. It is best that Isaac should be left alone in your tent, for he is to receive everything that is yours. I the Lord will take care of Ishmael, and will make a great people of his descendants, those who shall come from him."

So the next morning, Abraham sent Hagar and her boy away, expecting them to go back to the land of Egypt, from which Hagar had come. He gave them some food for the journey, and a bottle of water to drink by the way. The bottles in that country were not like ours, made of glass. They were made from the skin of a goat, sewed tightly together. One of these skin bottles Abraham filled with water, and gave to Hagar. |
So the next morning, Abraham sent Hagar and her boy away, expecting them to go
back to the land of Egypt, from which Hagar had come. He gave them some food for
the journey, and a bottle of water to drink by the way. The bottles in that
country were not like ours, made of glass. They were made from the skin of a
goat, sewed tightly together. One of these skin bottles Abraham filled with
water, and gave to Hagar.
And Hagar went away from Abraham's tent, leading her little boy. But in some way
she lost the road, and wandered over the desert, not knowing where she was,
until all the water in the bottle was used up; and her poor boy, in the hot sun
and the burning sand, had nothing to drink. She thought that he would die of his
terrible thirst, and she laid him down under a little bush; and then she went
away, for she said to herself, "I cannot bear to look at my poor boy suffering
and dying for want of water."
And just at that moment, while Hagar was crying, and her boy was moaning with
thirst, she heard a voice saying to her:
"Hagar, what is your trouble? Do not be afraid. God has heard your cry, and the
cry of your child. God will take care of you both, and will make of your boy a
great nation of people."
It was the voice of an angel from heaven; and then Hagar looked, and there close
at hand was a spring of water in the desert. How glad Hagar was, as she filled
the bottle with water, and took it to her suffering boy under the bush!
After this, Hagar did not go down to Egypt. She found a place near this spring,
where she lived and brought up her son in the wilderness, far from other people.
And God was with Ishmael, and cared for him. And Ishmael grew up in the desert,
and learned to shoot with the bow and arrow. He became a wild man, and his
children after him grew up to be wild men also. They were the Arabians of the
desert, who even to this day have never been ruled by any other people, but
wander through the desert and live as they please. So Ishmael came to be the
father of many people, and his descendants, the Arabians of the desert, are
living unto this day in that land, just as the Jews, who are the descendants of
Isaac, are living all over the world.
