Genesis 21:17 in Context — Genesis 21

15 Quand l’eau de l’outre fut épuisée, elle laissa l’enfant sous un des arbrisseaux,

16 et alla s’asseoir vis-à-vis, à une portée d’arc; car elle disait: Que je ne voie pas mourir mon enfant! Elle s’assit donc vis-à-vis de lui, éleva la voix et pleura.

17 Dieu entendit la voix de l’enfant; et l’ange de Dieu appela du ciel Agar, et lui dit: Qu’as-tu, Agar? Ne crains point, car Dieu a entendu la voix de l’enfant dans le lieu où il est.

18 Lève-toi, prends l’enfant, saisis-le de ta main; car je ferai de lui une grande nation.

19 Et Dieu lui ouvrit les yeux, et elle vit un puits d’eau; elle alla remplir d’eau l’outre, et donna à boire à l’enfant.
