Genesis 21:1-10 ▼

1 Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what he had spoken.

2 And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.

3 And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.

4 And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,

5 when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.

6 And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”

7 And again, she said: “Hearing this, who would believe Abraham, that Sarah breast-fed a son, to whom she gave birth, despite being elderly?”

8 And the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.

9 And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:

10 “Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.”
