Genesis 17:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shall become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him.

¹⁷ Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?

¹⁸ And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.
