Genesis 17:19-22

19But God said, “No, but Sarah your wife will bear you 1a son, and you shall call his name 2Isaac; and 3I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his 4descendants after him. 20As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and 5will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. 6He shall 7become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a 8great nation. 21But My covenant I will establish with 9Isaac, whom 10Sarah will bear to you at this season next year.” 22When He finished talking with him, 11God went up from Abraham.
