And
Abraham was an hundred year old, when his son Isaac was born unto
him. And Sara said: God hath made me a laughing stock: for all
that hear, will laugh at me. She said also: who would have said
unto Abraham, that Sara should have given children suck, or that I
should have borne him a son in his old age: The child grew and was
weaned, and Abraham made a great feast, the same day that Isaac
was weaned. Sara saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian which she had
borne unto Abraham, a mocking. Then she said unto Abraham: put
away this bondmaid and her son: for the son of this bondwoman
shall not be heir with my son Isaac: But the word seemed very
grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son. Then the Lorde
{|God|} said unto Abraham: let it not be grievous unto thee,
because of the lad and of thy bondmaid: But in all that Sara hath
said unto thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be
called. Moreover 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 with water, and gave it unto Hagar,
putting it on her shoulders with the lad also, and sent her away.
And she departed and wandered up and down in the wilderness of
Berseba.
