Genesis 21:1-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

21 The Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for her as He had promised.

²For Sarah became pregnant and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time God had told him.

³Abraham ^[a]named his son whom Sarah bore to him Isaac [laughter].

⁴And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

⁵Abraham was a hundred years old when Isaac was born.

⁶And Sarah said, God has made me to laugh; all who hear will laugh with me.

⁷And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children at the breast? For I have borne him a son in his old age!^(A)

⁸And the child grew and was ^[b]weaned, and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

Genesis 21:3 See footnote on Gen. 16:15.
Genesis 21:8 This was probably when the child was about three years of age. Samuel served in the sanctuary from the time that he was weaned (I Sam. 1:22-28). A Hebrew mother is quoted in II Maccabees 7:27 as saying to her son that she gave him “suck three years.”
