Genesis 21:16

וַ תֵּלֶךְ וַ תֵּשֶׁב לָהּ מִ נֶּגֶד הַרְחֵק כִּ מְטַחֲוֵי קֶשֶׁת כִּי אָמְרָה אַל אֶרְאֶה בְּ מֹות הַ יָּלֶד וַ תֵּשֶׁב מִ נֶּגֶד וַ תִּשָּׂא אֶת קֹלָהּ וַ תֵּבְךְּ
And she is walking and is sitting to-herself from-anti,731 causing to be far, according to those extending a bow,732 for she has said, `Never may I see in the death of the Born-one.` And she is sitting from-anti, and is lifting up אֶת-her voice, and is weeping.
