The Promise of a Son

Genesis 18:9-15

They said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" He said, "There, in the tent."

He said, "I will certainly return to you around this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son."Sarah heard him from the entrance of the tent, behind him.

Avraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years; Sarah was past the age of childbearing.

So Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, "I am old, and so is my lord; am I to have pleasure again?"

ADONAI said to Avraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and ask, 'Am I really going to bear a child when I am so old?'

Is anything too hard for ADONAI? At the time set for it, at this season next year, I will return to you; and Sarah will have a son."

Sarah denied it, saying, "I didn't either laugh," because she was afraid. He said, "Not so - you did laugh."
