Genesis 21:16 in Context — Genesis 21
14 Então Abraão se levantou manhã muito cedo, e tomou pão, e um odre de água, e deu-o a Agar, pondo-o sobre seu ombro, e entregou-lhe o jovem, e despediu-a. E ela partiu, e andava errante pelo deserto de Berseba.
15 E faltou a água do odre, e deitou ao jovem debaixo de uma árvore;
16 E foi-se e sentou-se em frente, afastando-se como um tiro de arco; porque dizia: Não verei quando o jovem morrer: e sentou-se em frente, e levantou sua voz e chorou.
17 E ouviu Deus a voz do jovem; e o anjo de Deus chamou a Agar desde o céu, e lhe disse: Que tens, Agar? Não temas; porque Deus ouviu a voz do jovem onde está.
18 Levanta-te, ergue ao jovem, e pegue-o por tua mão, porque farei dele uma grande nação.
