21:8 孩子渐长，就断了奶。以撒断奶的日子，亚伯拉罕设摆丰盛的筵席。
21:9 当时，撒拉看见埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子戏笑，
21:10 就对亚伯拉罕说：“你把这使女和她儿子赶出去！因为这使女的儿子不可与我的儿子以撒一同承受产业。”
21:11 亚伯拉罕因他儿子的缘故很忧愁。
21:12 神对亚伯拉罕说：“你不必为这童子和你的使女忧愁，凡撒拉对你说的话，你都该听从，因为从以撒生的，才要称为你的后裔。
21:13 至于使女的儿子，我也必使他的后裔成立一国，因为他是你所生的。”
21:14 亚伯拉罕清早起来，拿饼和一皮袋水，给了夏甲，搭在她的肩上，又把孩子交给她，打发她走。夏甲就走了，在别是巴的旷野走迷了路。
21:15 皮袋的水用尽了，夏甲就把孩子撇在小树底下，
21:16 自己走开约有一箭之远，相对而坐，说：“我不忍见孩子死！”就相对而坐，放声大哭。
21:17 神听见童子的声音。 神的使者从天上呼叫夏甲说：“夏甲！你为何这样呢？不要害怕， 神已经听见童子的声音了。
21:18 起来！把童子抱在怀中（注：“怀”原文作“手”），我必使他的后裔成为大国。”
21:19 神使夏甲的眼睛明亮，她就看见一口水井，便去将皮袋盛满了水，给童子喝。
21:20 神保佑童子，他就渐长，住在旷野，成了弓箭手。
21:21 他住在巴兰的旷野，他母亲从埃及地给他娶了一个妻子。
圣经灵修版
不明智的抉择，带来了一个与神为敌的大族。面对前面的抉择，我该……
21:18 以实玛利后来成为一个大族。他们是住在以色列以南的西奈和巴兰旷野的游牧民族。以实玛利的女儿嫁给了以扫（参28:9）。圣经告诉我们以实玛利人与以色列人为敌，也与神为敌（参诗83:6）。
丹尼斯·莫克『系统查经』
以实玛利被逐（21：9－21）
13. 叙述的重点现在由应许之子以撒转向了血气之子以实玛利
（见加4：21－31中保罗如何引证这一段）。
14. 就如夏甲轻看主母撒拉一样，以实玛利（如今已是14岁的少
年人了）也戏笑以撒，于是撒拉让亚伯拉罕把以实玛利赶走
（21：9－10）。亚伯拉罕并无此意，但神指示他如此行，
因为“从以撒生的才能成为你的后裔”，以实玛利不是因信
心而生的誓约中的应许之子，而是一个因血气而生的假冒
者。尽管伤心难免，但凭血气而生的必须离去（21：11－12；
又见加5：16－25）。神向亚伯拉罕保证，将有一国从以实
玛利而生，“因为他是你所生的”（21：13）。
15. 于是亚伯拉罕顺服了，他打发以实玛利和夏甲离开，走入旷
野，只预备了一点食物（21：14）。亚伯拉罕并不知道，等
到以撒长成少年时，神也将要求他放开以撒，让他“去！”
（见22章）。
16. 神再一次出面救助夏甲和以实玛利（21：15－19）。神对先
前应许夏甲的话也是信实的（见16：8－10）。
神保佑以实玛利，夏甲最终给以实玛利娶了埃及女子
（21：20－21）。以实玛利的后裔将成为阿拉伯人，神在16：
12中的预言将成为现实。
“他为人必象野驴。他的手要攻打人，人的手也要
攻打他，他必住在众弟兄的东边（或：他必与他的
弟兄不断争战）。”（15：12）
