Genesis 21
1 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken by the mouth of his angels; for Sarah conceived and bear Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which the angels of God had spoken to him.

2 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bear unto him, Isaac.

3 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, he being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

4 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

5 And Sarah said, God has made me to rejoice; and also all that know me will rejoice with me.

6 And she said unto Abraham, Who would have said that Sarah should have given children suck? For I was barren, but the Lord promised, and I have borne unto Abraham a son in his old age.

7 And the child grew, and was weaned. And the day that Isaac was weaned, Abraham made a great feast, and Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which Hagar had borne unto Abraham, mocking; and she was troubled.

8 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, Isaac.

9 And this thing was very grievous unto Abraham because of his son.

10 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

11 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
