Genesis 21:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD came to help Sarah and did for her what he had promised.

2 So she became pregnant, and at the exact time God had promised, she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age.

3 Abraham named his newborn son Isaac.

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

5 Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.

6 Sarah said, |God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.

7 Who would have predicted to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet, I have given him a son in his old age.|

8 The child grew and was weaned. On the day Isaac was weaned, Abraham held a big feast.
