John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 21:9

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian ,.... That is, Ishmael, who is not expressed by name, but described by being a son of Hagar, a servant of Sarah's, and an Egyptian woman; all which seems to be observed by way of slight, both to Hagar and her son: which she had born unto Abraham ; not unto Sarah, as she proposed to herself, when she gave her maid to Abraham, Genesis 16:2 . This son of Abraham she saw mocking ; either at the entertainment made at the weaning of Isaac; or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 21:10

Wherefore she said unto Abraham, cast out this bondwoman and her son ,.... Hagar, Sarah's handmaid and bondservant, and her son Ishmael; by this it appears that Hagar was concerned in this affair, and set her son on to mock Isaac, at least she encouraged him in it, buoying: him up with his being the firstborn, and having a right to the inheritance; wherefore Sarah saw plainly that there would be no peace nor comfort for her and her son, unless Hagar and her son were turned out of doors, for... read more

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight ,.... The motion that Sarah made to turn out of his house Hagar and Ishmael was not agreeable to him, but the reverse; it seemed an ill thing to him; it was greatly displeasing to him, and he was unwilling to come into it: because of his son ; his son Ishmael; not grieved and uneasy for what he had done; not for committing idolatry, as the Targum of Jonathan suggests, or for mocking at Isaac; but for what was proposed to be done to him,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 21:12

And God said unto Abraham ,.... Either by an articulate voice, or by an impulse on his mind, suggesting to him what he should do, being no doubt in great perplexity how to conduct between his wife and his son, but God determines the case for him, and makes him easy: let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of the bondwoman : that is, let not the motion displease thee, which Sarah has made, to turn out the bondwoman and her son; let not thine affection to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 21:13

And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation ,.... A great nation, as is promised, Genesis 17:20 ; and such the Ishmaelites and Saracens have been, and the Turks now are, the descendants of Ishmael. The Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it, a people of thieves, or a thieving people; as were the Saracens, and who are thought to have that name from the Arabic word "sarac" F25 "furatus fuit, furto abstulit", Golius, col. 1167. Castel. col. 2626. , to thieve; though they would... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 21:6

God hath made me to laugh - Sarah alludes here to the circumstance mentioned Genesis 18:12 ; and as she seems to use the word to laugh in this place, not in the sense of being incredulous but to express such pleasure or happiness as almost suspends the reasoning faculty for a time, it justifies the observation on the above-named verse. See a similar case in Luke 24:41 , where the disciples were so overcome with the good news of our Lord's resurrection, that it is said, They believed not... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 21:8

The child grew and was weaned - Anglo-Saxon Version. Now the child waxed and became weaned. We have the verb to wean from the Anglo-Saxon awendan , to convert, transfer, turn from one thing to another, which is the exact import of the Hebrew word גמל gamal in the text. Hence wenan , to wean, to turn the child from the breast to receive another kind of ailment. And hence, probably, the word Wean, a young child, which is still in use in the northern parts of Great Britain and Ireland,... read more
