Commentary
Genesis 21 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Genesis, as it marks the birth of Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah. This is a significant event in the Bible, as it is the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would have a son. The chapter begins with the announcement of Sarah's pregnancy, and the joy that Abraham and Sarah experience as a result. The chapter then goes on to describe the birth of Isaac, and the celebration that follows.
