The Promise of a Son

Genesis 18:9-15

And they say unto him, `Where is Sarah thy wife?' and he saith, `Lo--in the tent;'

and he saith, `returning I return unto thee, about the time of life, and lo, to Sarah thy wife a son.'

And Sarah is hearkening at the opening of the tent, which is behind him;

and Abraham and Sarah are aged, entering into days--the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah;

and Sarah laugheth in her heart, saying, `After I have waxed old I have had pleasure! --my lord also is old!'

And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, `Why is this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really--I bear--and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'

And Sarah denieth, saying, `I did not laugh;' for she hath been afraid; and He saith, `Nay, but thou didst laugh.'
