Genesis 21:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Abraham was greatly distressed because it concerned a son of his.[a] 12 But God said to Abraham: Do not be distressed about the boy or about your slave woman. Obey Sarah, no matter what she asks of you; for it is through Isaac that descendants will bear your name.(A) 13 As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a nation of him also,[b] since he too is your offspring.
