Genesis 21:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 21:8

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.
