Genesis 17:15-22

Genesis 17:15-22 CSB

God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, do not call her Sarai, for Sarah  will be her name. I will bless her; indeed, I will give you a son by her.  I will bless her, and she will produce nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed  and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a hundred-year-old man? Can Sarah, a ninety-year-old woman, give birth? ” So Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael were acceptable  to you! ” But God said, “No. Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac.  I will confirm my covenant with him as a permanent covenant for his future offspring. As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will certainly bless him; I will make him fruitful and will multiply him greatly. He will father twelve tribal leaders,  and I will make him into a great nation. But I will confirm my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”  When he finished talking with him, God withdrew  from Abraham.
