“And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.”
“And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. ”
“I will also make a nation of the son of the handmaid, because he is your seed."”
“But I will also make the son of the slave wife into a great nation, for he is your descendant too.””
“But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.”
“And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.”
“And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.”
“Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.”
Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
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.
Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”
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.
And when the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.
And she moved away and sat in a distant area, as far as a bow can reach. For she said, “I shall not see the boy die.” And so, sitting opposite her, he lifted up his voice and wept.
