God heard the boy crying. Then the angel of God called out to Hagar from heaven. He said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid. God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift up the boy and take him by the hand. I will make him into a great nation.”

Sarah became pregnant. She had a son by Abraham when he was old. The child was born at the exact time God had promised.

Sarah said, “God has given laughter to me. Everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.”

But God said to Abraham, “Do not be so upset about the boy and your slave Hagar. Listen to what Sarah tells you, because your family line will continue through Isaac.

I will also make the son of your slave into a nation. I will do it because he is your child.”
