Genesis 17:15-21
15 God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, do not call her Sarai, for Sarah(a) will be her name.
16 I will bless her; indeed, I will give you a son by her.(A) I will bless her, and she will produce nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed(B) and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a hundred-year-old man? Can Sarah, a ninety-year-old woman, give birth?”
18 So Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael were acceptable to You!”(b)
19 But God said, “No. Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac.(c) I will confirm My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his future offspring.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will certainly bless him; I will make him fruitful and will multiply him greatly. He will father 12 tribal leaders,(C) and I will make him into a great nation.
21 But I will confirm My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”(D)
