Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Genesis 20
¹⁸ For the LORD had caused all the women to be infertile because of what happened with Abraham’s wife, Sarah.
Genesis 21
¹ The LORD kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised.
² She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This happened at just the time God had said it would.
³ And Abraham named their son Isaac.
⁴ Eight days after Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him as God had commanded.
⁵ Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born.
⁶ And Sarah declared, “God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me.
⁷ Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse a baby? Yet I have given Abraham a son in his old age!”
⁸ When Isaac grew up and was about to be weaned, Abraham prepared a huge feast to celebrate the occasion.
⁹ But Sarah saw Ishmael—the son of Abraham and her Egyptian servant Hagar—making fun of her son, Isaac.
¹⁰ So she turned to Abraham and demanded, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son. He is not going to share the inheritance with my son, Isaac. I won’t have it!”
