Genesis 21:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 21:3

1 And the Lord ^avisited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah ^bas He had spoken.

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.”

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.
