Genesis 21:18 in Context — Genesis 21
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.
20 Dieu fut avec l’enfant, qui grandit, habita dans le désert, et devint tireur d’arc.
