| Genesis 21:2 | And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her. | Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. | And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God. |

| Genesis 21:7 | And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age. | She said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age." | And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would have a child at her breast? for see, I have given him a son now when he is old. |
| Genesis 21:8 | And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning. | The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. | And when the child was old enough to be taken from the breast, Abraham made a great feast. |

| Genesis 21:10 | Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac. | Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this handmaid and her son!

In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your seed be called. | But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name. |
| Genesis 21:13 | But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed. | Also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is your seed." | And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed. |

For she said, "Don't let me see the death of the child."

But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have sojourned." | Now, then, give me your oath, in the name of God, that you will not be false to me or to my sons after me, but that as I have been good to you, so you will be to me and to this land where you have been living. |
| Genesis 21:24 | And Abraham said: I will swear. | Abraham said, "I will swear." | And Abraham said, I will give you my oath. |
