The Lord told him, “Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

(As for you, you will die in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.)

Abram was eighty-six years old when Ishmael was born.

Abram Is Named Abraham

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.

Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief. “How could I become a father at the age of 100?” he thought. “And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?”

Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

Abraham and Sarah were both very old by this time, and Sarah was long past the age of having children.

So she laughed silently to herself and said, “How could a worn-out woman like me enjoy such pleasure, especially when my master—my husband—is also so old?”

Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’

But before they retired for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house.

Then they blinded all the men, young and old, who were at the door of the house, so they gave up trying to get inside.

One day the older daughter said to her sister, “There are no men left anywhere in this entire area, so we can’t get married like everyone else. And our father will soon be too old to have children.

So that night they got him drunk with wine, and the older daughter went in and had intercourse with her father. He was unaware of her lying down or getting up again.

The next morning the older daughter said to her younger sister, “I had sex with our father last night. Let’s get him drunk with wine again tonight, and you go in and have sex with him. That way we will preserve our family line through our father.”

When the older daughter gave birth to a son, she named him Moab. He became the ancestor of the nation now known as the Moabites.

She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This happened at just the time God had said it would.

Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born.

Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse a baby? Yet I have given Abraham a son in his old age!”

The oldest was named Uz, the next oldest was Buz, followed by Kemuel (the ancestor of the Arameans),

The Burial of Sarah

When Sarah was 127 years old,

A Wife for Isaac

Abraham was now a very old man, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.

One day Abraham said to his oldest servant, the man in charge of his household, “Take an oath by putting your hand under my thigh.

Rebekah was very beautiful and old enough to be married, but she was still a virgin. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came up again.

“When Sarah, my master’s wife, was very old, she gave birth to my master’s son, and my master has given him everything he owns.

and he died at a ripe old age, having lived a long and satisfying life. He breathed his last and joined his ancestors in death.
