Genesis 21:1-13

1The Lord graciously remembered and visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for her as He had promised.

2So Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.

3Abraham named his son Isaac (laughter), the son to whom Sarah gave birth.

4So Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him.

5Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born.

6Sarah said, “God has made me laugh; all who hear [about our good news] will laugh with me.”

7And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have given birth to a son by him in his old age.”

8The child [Isaac] grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

9Now [as time went on] Sarah saw [Ishmael] the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking [Isaac].

10Therefore she said to Abraham, “Drive out this maid and her son, for the son of this maid shall not be an heir with my son Isaac.”

11The situation distressed Abraham greatly because of his son [Ishmael].

12God said to Abraham, “Do not let it distress you because of Ishmael and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her and do what she asks, for your descendants will be named through Isaac.

13And I will also make a nation of [Ishmael] the son of the maid, because he is your descendant.”
