Genesis 21:7 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 21.

3 And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.

4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.

5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

6 Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”

7 She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8 So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.

9 But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,

10 and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”

11 Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
