Genesis 17:16-20

16And I will blessH1288 her, and giveH5414 thee a sonH1121 also of her: yea, I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peopleH5971 shall be of her.1

17Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?

18And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto GodH430, O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 before theeH6440!

19And GodH430 saidH559, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall bearH3205 thee a sonH1121 indeedH61; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IsaacH3327: and I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with him for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, and with his seedH2233 after himH310.

20And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heard theeH8085: Behold, I have blessedH1288 him, and will make him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966; twelveH8147H6240 princesH5387 shall he begetH3205, and I will make himH5414 a greatH1419 nationH1471.
