Let a little water be brought, that you may wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree.

Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.

When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.

Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.

Now may it happen that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

So the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me have a little water from your jar.”

After she had given him a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels, until they have had enough to drink.”

And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well to draw water, until she had drawn water for all his camels.

When all the flocks had been gathered there, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.

“Look,” said Jacob, “it is still broad daylight; it is not yet time to gather the livestock. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”

The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”
