Genesis 17:15-19

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.”

17Then AbrahamH85 5fellH5307 on his faceH6440 and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, “Will a child be bornH3205 to a manH1121 one hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? And 6will SarahH8283, who is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205 a child?”

18And AbrahamH85 saidH559 to GodH430, “OhH3863 that IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 beforeH6440 You!”

19But GodH430 saidH559, “NoH61, but SarahH8283 your wifeH802 will bearH3205 you 7a sonH1121, and you shall callH7121 his nameH8034 8IsaacH3327; and 9I will establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with him for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 for his 10descendantsH2233 afterH310 him.
