Genesis 21:8

And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

Cross-reference

In Genesis 26:30, Isaac — the weaned child celebrated here — later hosts his own feast to mark a covenant, echoing his father's tradition of celebrating milestones with feasting.

Psalm 131:2 Allusion

Psalm 131:2 compares a quieted soul to a weaned child with its mother. Isaac's weaning here provides the concrete image behind that metaphor of settled trust.

In 1 Samuel 1:22, Hannah delays presenting Samuel until he is weaned — another mother of a promised child showing maternal care at this milestone.

In 1 Samuel 1:23, Hannah similarly weans her child before a significant dedication, echoing the celebratory weaning feast here.
