Genesis 21:10

Verse 10 of 34. The 21st of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

6Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

7She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

9Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

10Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

11The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

12God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.

13I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”

14Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
