Genesis 21:9

Genesis 21:9

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.

Sarah saw the son of Hagar . . . mocking—Ishmael was aware of the great change in his prospects, and under the impulse of irritated or resentful feelings, in which he was probably joined by his mother, treated the young heir with derision and probably some violence (Galatians 4:29).
