וְאַבְרָהָם בֶּן מְאַת שָׁנָה בְּהִוָּלֶד לוֹ אֵת יִצְחָק בְּנוֹ: וַתֹּאמֶר שָׂרָה צְחֹק עָשָׂה לִי אֱ-לֹקִים כָּל הַשֹּׁמֵעַ יִצְחַק לִי: וַתֹּאמֶר מִי מִלֵּל לְאַבְרָהָם הֵינִיקָה בָנִים שָׂרָה כִּי יָלַדְתִּי בֵן לִזְקֻנָיו: וַיִּגְדַּל הַיֶּלֶד וַיִּגָּמַל וַיַּעַשׂ אַבְרָהָם מִשְׁתֶּה גָדוֹל בְּיוֹם הִגָּמֵל אֶת יִצְחָק: (בשבת שלישי) וַתֵּרֶא שָׂרָה אֶת בֶּן הָגָר הַמִּצְרִית אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה לְאַבְרָהָם מְצַחֵק: וַתֹּאמֶר לְאַבְרָהָם גָּרֵשׁ הָאָמָה הַזֹּאת וְאֶת בְּנָהּ כִּי לֹא יִירַשׁ בֶּן הָאָמָה הַזֹּאת עִם בְּנִי עִם יִצְחָק: וַיֵּרַע הַדָּבָר מְאֹד בְּעֵינֵי אַבְרָהָם עַל אוֹדֹת בְּנוֹ: וַיֹּאמֶר אֱ-לֹקִים אֶל אַבְרָהָם אַל יֵרַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ עַל הַנַּעַר וְעַל אֲמָתֶךָ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמַר אֵלֶיךָ שָׂרָה שְׁמַע בְּקֹלָהּ כִּי בְיִצְחָק יִקָּרֵא לְךָ זָרַע: (בשבת רביעי)

And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said: 'G-d has made laughter for me; every one that hears will laugh on account of me.' And she said: 'See Who has said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? For I have borne him a son in his old age!' And the child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. (On Shabbos, 3rd Aliyah) Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport. Whereupon she said unto Abraham: 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, with Isaac.' And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's eyes, on the matter concerning his son. And G-d said unto Abraham: 'Let it not be grievous in your sight because of the lad, and because of your bondwoman; all that Sarah says unto you, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall be called your seed. (On Shabbos, 4th Aliyah)
