Genesis 21:14


And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle [skin] of water, and gave [it] unto Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder, and the child [youth], and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.


(Geneva Bible) - So Abraham arose 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 also, and (f) sent her away; who departing, wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. 
(f) True faith renounceth all natural affections to obey God's commandment.
