Genesis 21:7 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Sarah should have given children suck She says children, expecting, it seems, that, having received of God new strength, she would have more than one child. Here all mothers are taught their duty, which is to give their children suck if they be able. Not to do this is a sin against the God of nature, which no rank in life, no fortune nor business, can or will excuse.

Genesis 21:7

7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
