And he said, "She is in tent." 10 The LORD said, "I ill surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your ife shall have a son." And Sarah as listening at tent door behind him. 11 No Abraham and Sarah ere old, advanced in years. The ay of omen had ceased to be ith Sarah. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I am orn out, and lord is old, shall I have pleasure?" 13 The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, no that I am old?' 14 Is anything too hard for LORD? At appointed time I ill return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son." 15 But Sarah denied it, saying, "I did not laugh," for she as afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh." Genesis 21.17 The LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and LORD did to Sarah as He had promised. 2 And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at time of hich God had spoken to him. 3 Abraham called name of his son ho as born to him, hom Sarah bore him, Isaac. 4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac hen he as eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 Abraham as a hundred years old hen his son Isaac as born to him. 6 And Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; everyone ho hears ill laugh over me." 7 And she said, "Who ould have said to Abraham that Sarah ould nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age." Hebres 11.1112 11 By faith Sarah herself received poer to conceive, even hen she as past age, since she considered Him faithful ho had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, ere born descendants as many as stars of heaven and as many as innumerable grains of sand by seashore.
