Genesis 21:8-13 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

8. The time came when Sarah no longer had to nurse Isaac, and on that day Abraham gave a big feast.

9-10. One day, Sarah noticed Hagar's son Ishmael playing, and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that Egyptian slave woman and her son! I don't want him to inherit anything. It should all go to my son.”

11. Abraham was worried about Ishmael.

12. But God said, “Abraham, don't worry about your slave woman and the boy. Just do what Sarah tells you. Isaac will inherit your family name,

13. but the son of the slave woman is also your son, and I will make his descendants into a great nation.”
