Gen 21:10 | MHM | STEP | v. 10 : Because of Ishmael’s behavior, Sarah told Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away . She insisted that Ishmael should not share in Isaac’s inheritance. This request, though spoken strongly, is seen as wise and prophetic. It also points to how those who reject God’s promises will be excluded from His covenant blessings, even if they are part of the visible community (Galatians 4:30; 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ).
