Genesis 21: 9 ¶And Sarah saw the son of aHagar the Egyptian, which she had bborn unto Abraham, cmocking.
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, aCast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be bheir with my son, even with Isaac.
12 ¶And
God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of
the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto
thee, hearken unto her voice; for in aIsaac shall thy bseed be called.
The movie adds scenes of both Hagar and Ishmael putting Isaac's life in danger.
Except for this indiscretion, the story is very much to the Bible. Abraham receives commandment to sacrifice Isaac, which he does, but then the Lord stops him as he is following through with the commandment.
This presentation does add some emotion to the Bible account. We see Abraham make sure Isaac says a proper goodbye to his mother, and we also see Abraham's love for Isaac.
