As It Were a Bowshot — Genesis 21:14–16

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 gave her the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot:

for she said,

Let me not look upon the death of the child.

And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
