Genesis 21:9-14

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁹ But Sarah saw the son mocking – the one Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham.^{(A) 10} So she said to Abraham, ‘Drive out this slave with her son, for the son of this slave will not be a coheir with my son Isaac! ’^(B)

¹¹ This was very distressing to^[a] Abraham because of his son. ¹² But God said to Abraham, ‘Do not be distressed^[b] about the boy and about your slave. Whatever Sarah says to you, listen to her, because your offspring will be traced through Isaac,^{(C) 13} and I will also make a nation of the slave’s son^(D) because he is your offspring.’

¹⁴ Early in the morning Abraham got up, took bread and a waterskin, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beer-sheba.
