Genesis 21:11
"Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”"
Key Reflection
This verse illustrates the conflict between Hagar and Sarah over the status of Ishmael compared to Isaac. It highlights the tension between natural desire for a child and the divine promise through which Ishmael, though not the heir, still holds significant spiritual importance in God's plan.
