In [Genesis 21:33](../../../kjv/genesis/21/33) , *Jehovah,* where it is Covenant relation. In Mary's song both titles united ([Luke 1:46](../../../kjv/luke/1/46) , [Luke 1:47](../../../kjv/luke/1/47) and compare verses: Gen 21:37 , Gen 21:38 ). **Isaac.** Hebrew. *Let him laugh.* Compare [Genesis 17:17](../../../kjv/genesis/17/17) ; [Genesis 18:12](../../../kjv/genesis/18/12) , [Genesis 18:13](../../../kjv/genesis/18/13) , [Genesis 18:15](../../../kjv/genesis/18/15) ; [Genesis 21:6](../../../kjv/genesis/21/6) , [Genesis 21:9](../../../kjv/genesis/21/9) ; [Genesis 26:8](../../../kjv/genesis/26/8) . **eight.** The Dominical No. See App-10 . Compare Ishmael, 13th year. **hundred.** See App-10 . **suck.** A proof that "God", the Creator, had renewed her youth, showing why Abimelech should have taken her ([Genesis 20:2](../../../kjv/genesis/20/2) ). Sarah's Magnificat may be compared with Mary's. The scenes of both near to each other. Mary's words ([Luke 1:54](../../../kjv/luke/1/54) , [Luke 1:55](../../../kjv/luke/1/55) ) connect her "mercy" with that shown to "Abraham and his seed", **grew.** Compare [Luke 2:40](../../../kjv/luke/2/40) . **mocking.** Hebrew "laughing" or "chaffing", or "mocking again" (as we say). **Cast out, &c.** See the Divine interpretation. [Galatians 1:3](../../../kjv/galatians/1/3) , Gal 1:6-29 ; [Galatians 4:22-31](../../../kjv/galatians/4/22-31) . **with my son, &c** Hebrew idiom "with my son with Isaac". Compare [Numbers 12:8](../../../kjv/numbers/12/8) . **thing.** Hebrew. *word.* **Isaac . . . thy seed.** Here *ser'a* is in the sing sense, because of the word "Isaac", and because of the sing verb "it shall be called. " *Zer'a* is a collective noun (like Eng. "sheep"), but the context must determine whether it is sing, or plural. It is to this verse [Galatians 1:3](../../../kjv/galatians/1/3) , [Galatians 1:16](../../../kjv/galatians/1/16) refers; not to [Genesis 12:7](../../../kjv/genesis/12/7) , where it is indefinite; or [Genesis 17:7](../../../kjv/genesis/17/7) where the verb and pronouns show it is plural. See note there, and on [Galatians 1:3](../../../kjv/galatians/1/3) , [Galatians 1:16](../../../kjv/galatians/1/16) ; and compare [Romans 9:7](../../../kjv/romans/9/7) . [Hebrews 11:18](../../../kjv/hebrews/11/18) . "Thy seed" is therefore "Christ". The difference of the 30 years comes in here: 430 to the Exodus ( Gen 12:40 ) from [Genesis 12:4](../../../kjv/genesis/12/4) , when Abraham was 75: 25 thence to Isaac's birth: and now, 5 to his recognition as the seed = 30 years. **bottle.** Compare man's provision (a bottle) with God's (a well) ([Genesis 21:19](../../../kjv/genesis/21/19) ). **it.** Hagar put the "bottle of water" on her shoulder, surely not Ishmael, because Ishmael was about seventeen years old at this time. Abraham was Eighty-six years of age when Ishmael was born ([Genesis 16:16](../../../kjv/genesis/16/16) ), Isaac was born when Abraham was one-hundred years old ([Genesis 21:6](../../../kjv/genesis/21/6) ), then Ishmael would have been fourteen-years old when Isaac was born, Add to the age of Isaac when he was weaned ([Genesis 21:8](../../../kjv/genesis/21/8) ) three years. **lift up her voice** = *the boy lifted tip his voice and wept.* So Septuagint (see [Genesis 21:17](../../../kjv/genesis/21/17) ). **heard.** Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia.* App-6 . **well.** Hebrew. *beer,* a well (digged): not *'ayin,* a spring or fountain; or *bor* , a cistern (hewn). **kindness.** Fig, *Metonymy* (of Cause). App-6 . See [Genesis 20:13](../../../kjv/genesis/20/13) . **violently, &c.** Compare [Genesis 26:19](../../../kjv/genesis/26/19) , [Genesis 26:20](../../../kjv/genesis/26/20) . [Exodus 2:17](../../../kjv/exodus/2/17) . [Judges 5:11](../../../kjv/judges/5/11) . This explains [Exodus 17:8](../../../kjv/exodus/17/8) , "Then came Amalek", because of verses: [Genesis 21:1-7](../../../kjv/genesis/21/1-7) . **wot not** = know not. O. Eng. idiom. **both.** Not one party as in [Genesis 15:10-18](../../../kjv/genesis/15/10-18) . Compare [Galatians 3:20](../../../kjv/galatians/3/20) . **made.** Hebrew. *cut,* because of the dividing of the sacrifice. Compare [Genesis 15:10](../../../kjv/genesis/15/10) . [Jeremiah 34:18-20](../../../kjv/jeremiah/34/18-20) . Eng. concluded or solemnized. **Beer-sheba** = Hebrew. *well of the oath.* **grove.** Hebrew. *'eshel* = trees, riot *'asherah* ( App-42 ), but the wood for [Genesis 22:3](../../../kjv/genesis/22/3) about twenty years later. **the everlasting GOD.** This is the Divine definition of Jehovah (Lord), Hebrew. *'olam =* duration, secret and hidden from man. Compare [Psalms 90:2](../../../kjv/psalms/90/2) . ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/?s={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/21#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Genesis 21"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/21#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/21","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Genesis 21","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/21#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"the LORD.
