^(C1)Then the LORD took note of Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had ^(F1)promised.

^(C1)So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at ^(C2)the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.

Abraham named his son who was born to him, the son whom Sarah bore to him, ^(C1)Isaac.

Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was ^(C1)eight days old, as God had commanded him.

Now Abraham was ^(C1)a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

Sarah said, "God has made ^(C1)laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh ^(F1)with me."

And she said, "^(C1)Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have given birth to a son in his old age."

And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

Now Sarah saw ^(C1)the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, ^(C2)mocking Isaac.

Therefore she said to Abraham, "^(C1)Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be an heir with my son ^(F1)Isaac!"

^(C1)The matter ^(F1)distressed Abraham greatly because of his son Ishmael.

But God said to Abraham, "^(F1)Do not be distressed because of the boy and your slave woman; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for ^(C1)through Isaac ^(F2)your descendants shall be named.

"And of ^(C1)the son of the slave woman I will make a nation also, because he is your ^(F1)descendant."
