Read in context

Genesis 21:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”

7 She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

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

9 But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,

10 and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”
