Genesis 18:9-15
9Then they saidH559 to him, “WhereH335 is your wifeH802 SarahH8283?” And he saidH559, “ThereH2009, in the tentH168.” 10He saidH559, “1I will certainlyH7725 returnH7725 to you 2at this timeH6256 nextH2416 yearH2416; and beholdH2009, your wifeH802 SarahH8283 will have a sonH1121.” And SarahH8283 was listeningH8085 at the tentH168 doorH6607, whichH1931 was behindH310 him. 11Now 3AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205, advancedH935 in ageH3117; SarahH8283 was 4pastH2308 5childbearingH734H802. 12So SarahH8283 laughedH6711 6to herselfH7130, sayingH559, “7AfterH310 I have becomeH1086 oldH1086, am I to haveH1961 pleasureH5734, my 8lordH113 beingH2204 oldH2204 also?” 13But the LordH3068 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, “WhyH4100 did SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, ‘Shall I actuallyH637H552 giveH3205 birthH3205 to a child, when I amH2204 so oldH2204?’ 149IsH6381 anythingH1697 tooH4480 10difficultH6381 for the LordH3068? At the 11appointedH4150 timeH4150 I will returnH7725 to you, 12at thisH2416 timeH6256 nextH2416 yearH2416, and SarahH8283 will have a sonH1121.” 15SarahH8283 deniedH3584 it, however, sayingH559, “I did not laughH6711”; for she wasH3372 afraidH3372. And He saidH559, “NoH3808, but you did laughH6711.”
