Genesis
21
1
The LORD visited Sarah just as he had said he would and did for Sarah what he had promised.
2
So Sarah became pregnant and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the appointed time that God had told him.
3
Abraham named his son - whom Sarah bore to him - Isaac.
4
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him just as God had commanded him to do.
5
(Now Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.)
6
Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears about this will laugh with me."
7
She went on to say, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have given birth to a son for him in his old age!"
8
The child grew and was weaned. Abraham prepared a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9
But Sarah noticed the son of Hagar the Egyptian - the son whom Hagar had borne to Abraham - mocking.
10
So she said to Abraham, "Banish that slave woman and her son, for the son of that slave woman will not be an heir along with my son Isaac!"
11
Sarah's demand displeased Abraham greatly because Ishmael was his son.
12
But God said to Abraham, "Do not be upset about the boy or your slave wife. Do all that Sarah is telling you because through Isaac your descendants will be counted.
13
But I will also make the son of the slave wife into a great nation, for he is your descendant too."
14
Early in the morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He put them on her shoulders, gave her the child, and sent her away. So she went wandering aimlessly through the wilderness of Beer Sheba.
