Genesis 17:17-19
International Standard Version
17 Abraham fell to the ground,[a] laughed, and told himself, “Can a child be born to a 100-year-old man? Can a 90-year-old Sarah give birth?” 18 So Abraham responded to God, “If only Ishmael would live in constant awareness that you’re always with him!”[b]
19 But God replied, “No, but your wife Sarah will give birth to your son, and you are to name him Isaac.[c] I’ll confirm my covenant with him as an eternal covenant for his descendants.
