Sarah and the Promise of Isaac

15

And God saith unto Abraham, `Sarai thy wife--thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name;

16

and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations--kings of peoples are from her.'

17

And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, `To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah--daughter of ninety years--bear?'

18

And Abraham saith unto God, `O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'

19

and God saith, `Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.

20

As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

21

and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'

22

and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.
