Genesis 21:16
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.
KJV
Et abiit, seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus jacere : dixit enim : Non videbo morientem puerum : et sedens contra, levavit vocem suam et flevit.
Vulgate
ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ ἐκάθητο ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ μακρότερον, ὡσεὶ τόξου βολήν· εἶπεν γάρ Οὐ μὴ ἴδω τὸν θάνατον τοῦ παιδίου μου. καὶ ἐκάθητο ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ μακρόθεν· ἀναβοῆσαν δὲ τὸ παιδίον ἔκλαυσεν.
LXX
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.
