12 But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.
13 Also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is your seed."
13 I will make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring.”
