Genesis 21:15

21:15 When the water in the skin was gone, she shoved ¹  the child under one of the shrubs.

Genesis 21:19

21:19 Then God enabled Hagar to see a well of water. ²  She went over and filled the skin with water, and then gave the boy a drink.

[21:15]  ¹ tn Heb “threw,” but the child, who was now thirteen years old, would not have been carried, let alone thrown under a bush. The exaggerated language suggests Ishmael is limp from dehydration and is being abandoned to die. See G. J. Wenham, Genesis (WBC), 2:85.

[21:19]  ² tn Heb “And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.” The referent (Hagar) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
