7 She continued, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? But I've had a son by him when he is old."
8 Isaac grew. The time came for his mother to stop nursing him. On that day Abraham had a big dinner prepared.
9 But Sarah saw Ishmael making fun of Isaac. Ishmael was the son Hagar had by Abraham. Hagar was Sarah's servant from Egypt.
10 Sarah said to Abraham, "Get rid of that slave woman. Get rid of her son. The slave woman's son will never have a share of the family's property with my son Isaac."
11 What Sarah said upset Abraham very much. After all, Ishmael was his son.
12 But God said to him, "Do not be so upset about the boy and your servant Hagar. Listen to what Sarah tells you, because your family line will continue through Isaac.
13 I will make the son of your servant into a nation also. I will do it because he is your child."
