8 The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast.
8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
8 And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
8 The baby grew and was weaned. Abraham threw a big party on the day Isaac was weaned.
8 So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.
8 When Isaac grew up and was about to be weaned, Abraham prepared a huge feast to celebrate the occasion.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 21:8
Commentary on Genesis 21:1-8
(Read Genesis 21:1-8)
Few under the Old Testament were brought into the world with such expectations as Isaac. He was in this a type of Christ, that Seed which the holy God so long promised, and holy men so long expected. He was born according to the promise, at the set time of which God had spoken. God's promised mercies will certainly come at the time which He sets, and that is the best time. Isaac means "laughter," and there was good reason for the name, Psalm 22:9,10; Hosea 11:1,2.
