10 So she said to Abraham, |Banish that slave woman and her son, for the son of that slave woman will not be an heir along with my son Isaac!|

11 Sarah's demand displeased Abraham greatly because Ishmael was his son.

12 But God said to Abraham, |Do not be upset about the boy or your slave wife. Do all that Sarah is telling you because through Isaac your descendants will be counted.

13 But I will also make the son of the slave wife into a great nation, for he is your descendant too.|
