Genesis 17:15-19
15Then GodH430 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, “As for your wifeH802 SaraiH8297, you shall not callH7121 her by the nameH8034 1SaraiH8297, but 2SarahH8283 shall be her nameH8034.
16I will blessH1288 her, and indeedH1571 I will giveH5414 you 3a sonH1121 by her. Then I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; 4kingsH4428 of peoplesH5971 will 5comeH1961 from her.”
17Then AbrahamH85 6fellH5307 on his faceH6440 and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, “Will a child be bornH3205 to a manH1121 a hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? And 7will SarahH8283, who is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, giveH3205 birthH3205 to a child?”
18And AbrahamH85 saidH559 to GodH430, “OhH3863 that IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 beforeH6440 You!”
19But GodH430 saidH559, “NoH61, but your wifeH802 SarahH8283 will bearH3205 you 8a sonH1121, and you shall nameH7121H8034 him 9IsaacH3327; and 10I will establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with him as an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 for his 11descendantsH2233 afterH310 him.
