SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:13

Y también al hijo de la sierva pondré en gente, porque es tu simiente.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 9-13 - Let us not overlook the manner in which this family matter instructs u not to rest in outward privileges, or in our own doings. And let u seek the blessings of the new covenant by faith in its Divine Surety Ishmael's conduct was persecution, being done in profane contempt of the covenant and promise, and with malice against Isaac. God take notice of what children say and do in their play; and will reckon with them, if they say or do amiss, though their parents do not. Mocking in a great sin, and very provoking to God. And the children of promis must expect to be mocked. Abraham was grieved that Ishmael shoul misbehave, and Sarah demand so severe a punishment. But God showed his that Isaac must be the father of the promised Seed; therefore, sen Ishmael away, lest he corrupt the manners, or try to take the rights of Isaac. The covenant seed of Abraham must be a people by themselves, no mingled with those who were out of covenant: Sarah little thought of this; but God turned aright what she said.
