Bereshis 21:1-12 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. And Hashem visited Sarah as He had said, and Hashem did unto Sarah just as He had spoken.

2. For Sarah conceived, and bore Avraham ben in his old age, at the mo'ed (set time) of which Elohim had given promise unto him.

3. And Avraham called the shem of bno that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Yitzchak.

4. And Avraham circumcised bno Yitzchak at age shemonat yamim, as Elohim had commanded him.

5. And Avraham was a hundred years old, when bno Yitzchak was born unto him.

6. And she said, Elohim hath brought me tzechok (laughter), so that all that hear yitzchak (will laugh) with me.

7. And she said, Who would have said unto Avraham, that Sarah should nurse banim? for I have borne him ben in his old age.

8. And the yeled grew, and was weaned; and Avraham made a mishteh gadol the same day that Yitzchak was weaned.

9. And Sarah saw the ben of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Avraham, metzachek (mocking, scoffing).

10. Therefore she said unto Avraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her ben: for the ben of this bondwoman shall not be heir with beni (my son), even with Yitzchak.

11. And the thing was very grievous in the eyes of Avraham because of bno.

12. And Elohim said unto Avraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the na'ar, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, shema (pay heed) unto her voice; for in Yitzchak shall thy zera be called.
