*
And I will bless her ,
and give thee a son also of her :
yea ,
I will bless her ,
and she shall be a mother of nations ;
kings of people shall be of her .
*
Then Abraham fell upon his face ,
and laughed ,
and said in his heart ,
Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old ?
and shall Sarah ,
that is ninety years old ,
bear ?
*
And Abraham said unto God ,
O that Ishmael might live before thee !
*
And God said ,
Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed ;
and thou shalt call his name Isaac :
and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant ,
and with his seed after him .
*
And as for Ishmael ,
I have heard thee :
Behold ,
I have blessed him ,
and will make him fruitful ,
and will multiply him exceedingly ;
twelve princes shall he beget ,
and I will make him a great nation .
*
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac ,
which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year .
