The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 21:1-8

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

Birth, circumcision and weaning of Isaac. Here, is— I. THE FAITIIFULNESS OF JEHOVAH . "As he had spoken. At the set time." "God hath made me to laugh." II.

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 21:4

And Abraham circumcised ( vide on Genesis 17:11 , and note at the end of that chapter) his son Isaac being eight days old (literally, a son of eight days ) , as (not only because, but in the manner in which) God had commanded him. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 21:5

And Abraham was an hundred years old (cf. Genesis 17:1 , Genesis 17:17 ), when his son Isaac was born unto him . Literally, at the time of bearing to him (ἐν τῷ τεκεῖν) Isaac . Thus Abraham had waited twenty-five years for the fulfillment of the promise—a remarkable instance of faith and patience ( Romans 4:20 ), as Isaac's birth was a signal display of Divine power ( Romans 4:17 ; Hebrews 11:12 ). Whether Isaac was born at Gerar or at Beersheba cannot with certitude be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 21:6

And Sarah said, —the spiritual elevation of her soul being indicated by the poetical form of her speech. Differing from Mary's magnificat in having been uttered after, and not before, the birth of the promised seed, the anthem of Sarah was obviously designed as a prelude to that loftier song of the Virgin (cf. Luke 1:46 ). It consists of two sentences, the first containing two, and the second three lines— God hath made me to laugh. Or, retaining the order of the Hebrew, To laugh hath... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 21:7

And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham ,— מִלֶּל , the poetic word for דּבֵּר , is introduced by מִי in order to express astonishment; the meaning being that what had happened was altogether out of the ordinary course of nature, was, in fact, God's work alone (Vatablus, Calvin, Rosenmüller, Keil, Kalisch, 'Speaker's Commentary'). Less happy are τίς ἀναγγελεῖ τῳ Ἀβραὰμ ( LXX .); quis auditurum crederet Abraham quod (Vulgate); quam fidelis est ille qui dixit Abrahamo... read more

Genesis 21:6. Sarah said, God has made me to laugh Not through diffidence and irreverence, as my own distrustful heart before made me to laugh; but through excess of holy joy. He hath given me both cause and a heart to rejoice. And it adds to the comfort of any mercy to have our friends rejoice with us in it, Luke 1:58. They that hear will laugh with me Will rejoice in this instance of God’s power and goodness; and be encouraged to trust in him. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 21:7

Genesis 21:7. Sarah should have given children suck She says children, expecting, it seems, that, having received of God new strength, she would have more than one child. Here all mothers are taught their duty, which is to give their children suck if they be able. Not to do this is a sin against the God of nature, which no rank in life, no fortune nor business, can or will excuse. read more
