The Birth of Ishmael

16:1 Now Sarai, 1  Abram’s wife, had not given birth to any children, 2  but she had an Egyptian servant 3  named Hagar. 4 

17:9 Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep 1  the covenantal requirement 2  I am imposing on you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

17:15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for your wife, you must no longer call her Sarai; 3  Sarah 4  will be her name. 17:20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. 5  I will indeed bless him, make him fruitful, and give him a multitude of descendants. 6  He will become the father of twelve princes; 7  I will make him into a great nation.
