THE EXPULSION OF HAGAR.

And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as

he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old

age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called

the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him,

Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as

God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son

Isaac was born unto him.

And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will

laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah

should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old

age. And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast

the same day that Isaac was weaned.

And Sarah, saw the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, which she had born unto

Abraham, mocking. 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, even with Isaac.

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.

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 hath said unto

thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. And

also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy

seed.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of

water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child,

and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of

Beer-sheba.--Genesis xxi, 1-14.
