HAGAR
[7]Now the Angel of the Lord found her ( HAGAR) by a spring of water in the WILDERNESS, by the spring on the way to Shur.
[10]Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.”
Genesis 16:7,10
Genesis 21:13-14
[13]Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he (Ishmael)is your seed.”
[14]So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
ISHMAEL
Genesis 21:7,13-14, 20-21
[7]She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.” Hagar and Ishmael Depart
[13]Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your seed.”
[14]So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
[20]So God was with the lad (Ishmael); and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer
[21]He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. A Covenant with Abimelech.
ISRAELITES
Exodus 3:15, 18
[15]Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’
[18]Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’
Exodus 14:3,10-12,29,31
[3]For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’
[10]And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.
[11]Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt?
[12]Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”
[29]But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
[31]Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.
