Isaac Is Born
2 For Sarah aconceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, bat the set 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 acircumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, bas God had commanded him.
5 Now aAbraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 And Sarah said, a“God has made me laugh, and all who hear bwill laugh with me.”
7 She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? aFor I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Hagar and Ishmael Depart
8 So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar athe Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, bscoffing.
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, a“Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.”
11 And the matter was very1 displeasing in Abraham’s sight abecause of his son.
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for ain Isaac your seed shall be called.
13 Yet I will also make aa nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your1 seed.”
14 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and1 a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and asent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
