17 God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, 'What ails you, Hagar? Don't be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.'
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
