1. Mosebok 21,20

God's presence

18 Reis deg, løft opp gutten, og hold ham ved hånden, for jeg vil gjøre ham til en stor nasjon.”

19 Gud lot henne se en brønn med vann. Hun gikk og fylte skinnsekken med vann og ga gutten å drikke.

Gud var med gutten mens han vokste opp. Han bodde i ødemarken og ble en bueskytter.

21 Han bodde i ødemarken Paran, og hans mor fant ham en kone fra Egypt.

22 I løpet av den perioden sa Abimelek og Pikol, hans hærfører, til Abraham, “Gud er med deg i alle dine gjøremål.
