Genesis 17:16-19

16And I will bless herH1288 and will surelyH1571 giveH5414 you a sonH1121 by herH4480. I will bless herH1288, and she will beH1961 the mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peoplesH5971 will descendH1961 from herH4480.”

17AbrahamH85 fell facedownH5307H5921H6440. Then he laughedH6711 and saidH559 to himselfH3820, “Can a child be bornH3205H518 to a man who isH1121 a hundredH3967 years oldH8141? Can SarahH8283H1323 give birthH3205 at the age of ninetyH8673H8141?” 18And AbrahamH85 saidH559 toH413 GodH430, “O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 under YourH6440 blessing!”

19But GodH430 repliedH559, “Your wifeH802 SarahH8283 will indeedH61 bearH3205 you a sonH1121, and you are to nameH7121 himH8034 IsaacH3327.1 I will establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with himH854 as an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 for his descendantsH2233 after himH310.
