Sarah and the Promise of Isaac

15

God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara.

16

And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shall become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him.

17

Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?

18

And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.

19

And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him.

20

And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.

21

But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year.

22

And when he had left off speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.
