15Then GodH430 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, “As for SaraiH8297 your wifeH802, you shall not callH7121 her nameH8034 SaraiH8297, but 1SarahH8283 shall be her nameH8034.

16I will blessH1288 her, and indeedH1571 I will giveH5414 you 2a sonH1121 by her. Then I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; 3kingsH4428 of peoplesH5971 will 4comeH1961 from her.”
