“And Abram was four score and six years old when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram” (Gen. xvi, 16).
“And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born unto him” (xxi, 5).
“And the child [Isaac] grew, and was weaned” (8).
“And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child [Ishmael], and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs” (14, 15).
When Isaac was weaned, and Hagar was sent into the wilderness, Ishmael, who was about sixteen years old, is represented as a babe in his mother’s arms.
