- 1And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.
- 2And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.
- 3And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.
- 4And when his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham made him undergo circumcision, as God had said to him.

- 5Now Abraham was a hundred years old when the birth of Isaac took place.
- 6And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.
- 7And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would have a child at her breast? for see, I have given him a son now when he is old.
- 8And when the child was old enough to be taken from the breast, Abraham made a great feast.
- 9And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.
- 10So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.

- 11And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.
- 12But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name.

- 20And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.
- 21And while he was in the waste land of Paran, his mother got him a wife from the land of Egypt.
- 22Now at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, said to Abraham, I see that God is with you in all you do.
