¹⁰ So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.

¹⁹ They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.

³⁵ Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

⁴ And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

²² Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

²³ Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.

²⁴ Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

²⁵ Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia, and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is: which is a servant with her children.

²⁶ But the Jerusalem on high is free, which is our mother.

²⁷ For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

²⁸ Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are the children of the undertaking of God.

²⁹ But as in those days he who had birth after the flesh was cruel to him who had birth after the Spirit, even so it is now.

³⁰ What then do the Writings say? Send away the servant-woman and her son; for the son of the servant-woman will not have a part in the heritage with the son of the free woman.

³¹ So, brothers, we are not children of the servant-woman, but of the free woman.

⁷ So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

¹⁸ Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.

¹³ Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

¹¹ And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

¹² But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.

⁶ Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

⁷ For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

¹⁹ Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:

⁶ But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.

¹⁰ And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.

¹¹ And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife.

²¹ But my agreement will be with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth a year from this time.

¹⁹ And God said, Not so; but Sarah, your wife, will have a son, and you will give him the name Isaac, and I will make my agreement with him for ever and with his seed after him.
