Genesis 17:16-20

16I will blessH1288 her, and indeedH1571 I will giveH5414 you 1a sonH1121 by her. Then I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; 2kingsH4428 of peoplesH5971 will 3comeH1961 from her.”

17Then AbrahamH85 4fellH5307 on his faceH6440 and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, “Will a child be bornH3205 to a manH1121 a hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? And 5will 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 6a sonH1121, and you shall nameH7121H8034 him 7IsaacH3327; and 8I will establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with him as an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 for his 9descendantsH2233 afterH310 him.

20As for IshmaelH3458, I have heardH8085 you; beholdH2009, I will blessH1288 him, and 10makeH6509 him fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966. 11He shall fatherH3205 twelveH8147H6240 princesH5387, and I will makeH5414 him into a 12greatH1419 nationH1471.
