Go to Galatians 4:30

Paul quotes Sarah’s words to Abraham. Where Sarah says “with my son, with Isaac,” Galatians says “with the son of the free woman.”

Formula: ἀλλὰ τί λέγει ἡ γραφή “but what does the Scripture say?” (Galatians 4:30)

Greek of the New Testament: ἀλλὰ τί λέγει ἡ γραφή Ἔκβαλε τὴν παιδίσκην καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσει ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἐλευθέρας

Hebrew (Masoretic text): וַתֹּאמֶר לְאַבְרָהָם גָּרֵשׁ הָאָמָה הַזֹּאת וְאֶת בְּנָהּ כִּי לֹא יִירַשׁ בֶּן הָאָמָה הַזֹּאת עִם בְּנִי עִם יִצְחָק

Septuagint (Genesis 21:10 in the Septuagint numbering): καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ἀβραάμ Ἔκβαλε τὴν παιδίσκην ταύτην καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς· οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσει ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ μου Ἰσαάκ.

The Greek of the NT matches the Septuagint word for word in 15 consecutive words: “καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσει ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ.”
