Genesis 21:21

“And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.”

KJV

Meaning

Ishmael's life becomes established in Paran, while Hagar remains an active agent in arranging his family future.

The geographic and Egyptian details belong to the ancient narrative and should not be converted into simplistic racial or religious categories today.

The scene ends not with disappearance but with continuity, family formation, and a mother still acting for her son's future.
