    Brief Summary: The statement HE WILL BE A WILD MAN (Gn16-12a) references Gn20-20 HE WAS A DESERT HUNTER

Verse Gn16-12a discussing Ishmael states And he shall be a wild human his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the face of all his brethren.' Rashi notes that the underlined words, a wild human references verses Gn21-20 discussing Ishmael's dwelling in the deserts where he was known as a hunter. Hence the Rashi comment The angel's promise to Hagar, Gn16-12a that her son Ishmael would be a wild man references Gn21-20:21 which describes Ishmael as a desert archer.
