Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"The promised son is born “at the set time of which God had spoken to him” (v. 2). Compare Galatians 4:4. God never fails in His promises, and He is always right on time. Abraham also keeps his part of the covenant, circumcising Isaac on the eighth day, “as God had commanded him” (Gen 21: 4). Ishmael, now fourteen years old (cf. 16:16; 17:24-26), mocked at the birth of Isaac, no doubt feeling very superior, yet jealous at the joy this younger brother had brought into the home (21:6-8) and at the promises to be fulfilled through Isaac (v. 12; cf. 17:19). Despite the promises made to Ishmael and his descendants (17:20; 21:13), the covenant of the salvation of the human race through the promised Seed of the woman (Gen 3:15; 12:3; Gal 4:4-5) was to be through Isaac (Gen 21:12). Compare this situation with the allegory Paul describes in Galatians 4:21-31. What lessons are here for us? Despite Abraham’s earlier poor representation of right principles in the presence of Abimelech, king of Gerar in the land of the Philistines (Gen 20), Abimelech observes that God is with Abraham in all that he does. Can observers say of us, despite our flaws, that God is with us in all that we do?" ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/21 Our accounts in other social networks:
