Genesis 17:19-22
English Standard Version
19 God said, “No, but (A)Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name (B)Isaac.[a] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him. 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and (C)multiply him greatly. He (D)shall father twelve princes, and (E)I will make him into a great nation. 21 But (F)I will establish my covenant with Isaac, (G)whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.”
22 When he had finished talking with him, (H)God went up from Abraham.

Galatians 4:22-26
English Standard Version
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, (A)one by a slave woman and (B)one by a free woman. 23 But (C)the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while (D)the son of the free woman was born through promise. 24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two (E)covenants. (F)One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia;[a] she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But (G)the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
