10 'Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.'
11 Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
12 And God said to him: 'Let it not seem harsh to you concerning the boy and your woman servant. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.
13 Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.'
14 And so Abraham arose in the morning, and taking bread and a skin of water, he placed it upon her shoulder, and he handed over the boy, and he released her. And when she had departed, she wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
