Genesis 21:1-10 ▼

1 The LORD graciously remembered and visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for her as He had promised.

2 So Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.

3 Abraham named his son Isaac (laughter), the son to whom Sarah gave birth.

4 So Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him.

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

6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh; all who hear [about our good news] will laugh with me.”

7 And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have given birth to a son by him in his old age.”

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

9 Now [as time went on] Sarah saw [Ishmael] the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking [Isaac].

10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Drive out this maid and her son, for the son of this maid shall not be an heir with my son Isaac.”
