Genesis 21:1-11 ▼

1 The LORD took note of Sarah as he had said he would; the LORD did for her as he had promised.

2 Sarah became pregnant and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time that God had stated.

3 Abraham gave the name Isaac to this son of his whom Sarah bore him.

4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded.

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

6 Sarah then said, “God has given me cause to laugh, and all who hear of it will laugh with me.

7 Who would ever have told Abraham,” she added, “that Sarah would nurse children! Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8 The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great banquet on the day of the child’s weaning.

9 Sarah noticed the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham playing with her son Isaac;

10 so she demanded of Abraham: “Drive out that slave and her son! No son of that slave is going to share the inheritance with my son Isaac!”

11 Abraham was greatly distressed because it concerned a son of his.
