KJV - 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.

She moved and sat far away from him. It was like the distance you can shoot an arrow. She didn't want to watch the child die. So, she sat there, cried, and screamed.
