Genesis21:16
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him, a good way off, as it were a bow-shot: for she said, let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice and wept .
Who wept? Either Hagar, for the verb is of the feminine gender; or the Lad, as the words following seem to intimate. And for the change of Genders, that is not infrequent in Scripture use.
