16 I will bless her and will give you a son through her. I will bless her and she will become a mother of nations. Kings of countries will come from her!| 17 Then Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground and laughed as he said to himself, |Can a son be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?| 18 Abraham said to God, |O that Ishmael might live before you!| 19 God said, |No, Sarah your wife is going to bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac. I will confirm my covenant with him as a perpetual covenant for his descendants after him. Genesis 17:16-19, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
