Gênesis 21:5 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:5

And Abraham was an hundred years old when son Isaac was born
unto him.
] So that this was years after his departure from Haran, and coming into the land of Canaan, for then he was seventy five years of age, ( Genesis 12:4 ) ; and this exactly agrees with the account of Demetrius, as related by Polyhistor, an Heathen writer ^F15, who makes Isaac to be born just twenty five years from Abraham's coming into the land of Canaan, and who must be now an hundred years old, being ninety nine at the time the Lord appeared unto him, and promised him a son at the set time the next year, ( Genesis 17:1 Genesis 17:21 ) . This is observed, both to show the wonderful favour to Abraham, and the faithfulness of God in the exact performance of his promise: according to Bishop Usher ^F16, Isaac was born A. M. 2108, and before Christ 1896, and probably at Beersheba, see ( Genesis 21:33 Genesis 21:34 ) .

Gênesis 21:5 In-Context

3 Abraão deu o nome de Isaque ao filho que Sara lhe dera.

4 Quando seu filho Isaque tinha oito dias de vida, Abraão o circuncidou, conforme Deus lhe havia ordenado.

5 Estava ele com cem anos de idade quando lhe nasceu Isaque, seu filho.

6 E Sara disse: “Deus me encheu de riso, e todos os que souberem disso rirão comigo”.

7 E acrescentou: “Quem diria a Abraão que Sara amamentaria filhos? Contudo eu lhe dei um filho em sua velhice!”
