Genesis 21:1-13

Isaac Is Born

^aNow Yahweh visited Sarah as He had said, and Yahweh did for Sarah as He had ¹promised. 2 ^aSo Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at ^bthe appointed time of which God had spoken to him. 3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, ^aIsaac. 4 Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was ^aeight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 Now Abraham was ^aone hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 And Sarah said, “God has made ^alaughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh ¹with me.” 7 And she said, “^aWho would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

Sarah Sends Hagar Away

8 And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 9 And Sarah saw ^athe son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, ¹^blaughing in jest. 10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “^aDrive out this maidservant and her son! The son of this maidservant shall not be an heir with my son, with Isaac.” 11 ^aAnd the matter ¹distressed Abraham greatly because of his son. 12 So God said to Abraham, “¹Do not be distressed because of the boy and your maidservant; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her voice, for ^athrough Isaac your seed shall be named. 13 And of ^athe son of the maidservant I will make a nation also, because he is your seed.”
