Genesis 21:9-13

9But SarahH8283 saw thatH7200 the sonH1121 whomH834 HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713 had borneH3205 to AbrahamH85 was mockingH6711 her son,1 10and she saidH559 to AbrahamH85, “ExpelH1644 theH2063 slave womanH519 and her sonH1121, forH3588 the slave woman’sH519H2063 sonH1121 will neverH3808 share in the inheritanceH3423 withH5973 my sonH1121H5973 IsaacH3327!”2

11Now this matterH1697 distressedH7489H5869 AbrahamH85 greatlyH3966 because it concernedH5921H182 his sonH1121 Ishmael. 12But GodH430 saidH559 toH413 AbrahamH85, “Do notH408 be distressedH7489H5869 aboutH5921 the boyH5288H5921 and your maidservantH519. Listen toH8085H6963 everythingH3605 thatH834 SarahH8283 tellsH559 youH413, forH3588 through IsaacH3327 your offspringH2233 will be reckonedH7121.3 13But I will alsoH1571 makeH7760 a nationH1471 of the slave woman’sH519 sonH1121, becauseH3588 heH1931 is your offspringH2233.”
