Gênesis 21:1-Levítico NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 21:1-8

Few under the Old Testament were brought into the world with such expectation as Isaac was, not for the sake of any great person eminence at which he was to arrive, but because he was to be, in this very thing, a type of Christ, that seed which the holy God had so long promised and holy men so long expected. In this account of the first days of Isaac we may observe, I. The fulfilling of God's promise in the conception and birth of Isaac, Gen. 21:1, 2. Note, God's providences look best and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 21:1

And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said ,.... To Abraham, Genesis 17:16 ; in a way of mercy and kindness, by fulfilling his promise, giving strength to conceive and bear a child; see 1 Samuel 2:21 , and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken ; which intends the same thing in different words; and the repetition is made to cause attention to God's fulfilment of his promise, who is always faithful to his word, even in things very difficult and seemingly impossible, as in the present... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 21:1

Verse 1 1.And the Lord visited Sarah. In this chapters not only is the nativity of Isaac related, but because, in his very birth, God has set before us a lively picture of his Church, Moses also gives a particular account of this matter. And first, he says that God visited Sarah, as he had promised. Because all offspring, flows from the kindness of God, as it is in the psalm, ‘The fruit of the womb is the gift of God;’ (Psalms 127:3;) therefore the Lord is said, not without reason, to visit... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 21:1

And the Lord —Jehovah ; not because the verse is Jehovistic (Knobel, Bleek, et alii ) , but because the promise naturally falls to be implemented by him who gave it ( vide Genesis 18:10 )— visited —remembered with love (Onkelos), ἐπισκέψατο ( LXX .; cf. Genesis 1:24 ; Exodus 4:31 ; 1 Samuel 2:21 ; Isaiah 23:17 ); though it sometimes means to approach in judgment ( vide Exodus 20:5 ; Exodus 32:34 ). Alleged to be peculiar to the Jehovist (the term used by... read more

The son of promise, or a young child's biography. I. THE BIRTH OF ISAAC 1. A surprising phenomenon . "Who would have said that Sarah should have suckled sons?" " Motherhood at ninety was certainly unusual, especially when conjoined with paternity at a hundred. In a world presided over by a personal Deity there must always be room for surprises. 2. A miraculous production . That the conception and birth of Isaac were due to Divine interposition—that in... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 21:1-21

Birth of Isaac (21:1-21)When Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him as commanded. In this way he demonstrated that Isaac was heir to God’s covenant promises (21:1-7; cf. 17:9-14).Ishmael made fun of the covenant family, as Sarah had feared. Being the son of a slave-girl, Ishmael had the right to inherit some of Abraham’s wealth, but he could surrender this right in exchange for the freedom of himself and his mother. Sarah, determined that her son should be the sole heir, tried to persuade... read more
