Genesis 21:1-13

1The Lord came to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised.

2Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time God had told him.

3Abraham named his son who was born to him — the one Sarah bore to him — Isaac.

4When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.

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

6Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

7She also said, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne a son for him in his old age.”

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

9But Sarah saw the son mocking — the one Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham.

10So she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave with her son, for the son of this slave will not be a coheir with my son Isaac!”

11This was very distressing to Abraham because of his son.

12But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and about your slave. Whatever Sarah says to you, listen to her, because your offspring will be traced through Isaac,

13and I will also make a nation of the slave’s son because he is your offspring.”
