Kejadian 21:10

21:10 So she said to Abraham, “Banish ¹  that slave woman and her son, for the son of that slave woman will not be an heir along with my son Isaac!”

Kejadian 21:14

21:14 Early in the morning Abraham took ²  some food ³  and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He put them on her shoulders, gave her the child, ⁴  and sent her away. So she went wandering ⁵  aimlessly through the wilderness ⁶  of Beer Sheba.

[21:10]  ¹ tn Heb “drive out.” The language may seem severe, but Sarah’s maternal instincts sensed a real danger in that Ishmael was not treating Isaac with the proper respect.

[21:14]  ² tn Heb “and Abraham rose up early in the morning and he took.”

[21:14]  ³ tn Heb “bread,” although the term can be used for food in general.

[21:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “He put upon her shoulder, and the boy [or perhaps, “and with the boy”], and he sent her away.” It is unclear how “and the boy” relates syntactically to what precedes. Perhaps the words should be rearranged and the text read, “and he put [them] on her shoulder and he gave to Hagar the boy.”

[21:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “she went and wandered.”

[21:14]  ⁶ tn Or “desert,” although for English readers this usually connotes a sandy desert like the Sahara rather than the arid wasteland of this region with its sparse vegetation.
