ISB ~ Galatians 4 v30

Cast out the slave:A citation from Gen 21:10.

• This is the moment when Ishmael is expelled from Abraham’s family and disqualified from being a rightful heir. It refutes the logic of the Judaizers that circumcision is the sign that entitles one to a share in the blessings of Abraham. In effect, Paul is reminding them that Ishmael and Isaac were both circumcised, yet Ishmael was disinherited and Isaac alone received his father’s blessing.See note on Jn 8:35.
