Genesis 17:15-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ Afterward, God said to Abraham, “Sarai, your wife, you shall not call ‘Sarai’; but ‘Sarah’ shall be her name.

¹⁶ “And I will bless her and will also give you a son by her. Indeed, I will bless her; and she shall be the mother of nations. Kings of people shall come from her.”

¹⁷ Then, Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to him who is a hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?”

¹⁸ And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live in Your sight.”

¹⁹ Then God said, “Sarah, your wife, shall indeed bear you a son. And you shall call his name ‘Isaac’; and I will establish My Covenant with him and with his seed after him, for an everlasting Covenant.

²⁰ “And concerning Ishmael, I have heard you. Lo, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes; and I will make a great nation from him.

²¹ “But I will establish My Covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you next year at this season.”
