1. The Lord came back to visit Sarah as he said he would, and he kept his promise to her.
2. At exactly the time God said it would happen, Sarah became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age.
3. Abraham named his son Isaac.
4. Abraham did what God commanded and circumcised Isaac when he was eight days old.
5. Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
6. Sarah said, “God has made me happy, and everyone who hears about this will be happy with me.
7. No one thought that I, Sarah, would be able to have Abraham’s child. But I have given Abraham a son, even though he is old.”
8. Isaac continued to grow, and soon he was old enough to begin eating solid food. So Abraham gave a big party.
9. Sarah saw Hagar’s son playing. (Hagar was the Egyptian slave woman who gave birth to Abraham’s first son.)
10. Sarah said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son. Send them away! When we die, our son Isaac will get everything we have. I don’t want that slave woman’s son sharing these things with my son Isaac!”
11. This upset Abraham very much. He was worried about his son Ishmael.
12. But God said to Abraham, “Don’t worry about the boy and the slave woman. Do what Sarah wants. Your descendants will be those who come through Isaac.
13. But I will also bless the son of your slave woman. He is your son, so I will make a great nation from his family also.”
14. Early the next morning Abraham took some food and water and gave them to Hagar. She carried them and left with her boy. She left that place and wandered in the desert of Beersheba.
