Gen 17:15 And God said, As for Sarai, your wife, from now her name will be not Sarai, but Sarah.
Gen 17:16 And I will give her a blessing so that you will have a son by her: truly my blessing will be on her, and she will be the mother of nations: kings of peoples will be her offspring.
Gen 17:17 Then Abraham went down on his face, and laughing, said in his heart, May a man a hundred years old have a child? will Sarah, at ninety years old, give birth?
Gen 17:18 And Abraham said to God, If only Ishmael's life might be your care!
Gen 17:19 And God said, Not so; but Sarah, your wife, will have a son, and you will give him the name Isaac, and I will make my agreement with him for ever and with his seed after him.
Gen 17:20 As for Ishmael, I have given ear to your prayer: truly I have given him my blessing and I will make him fertile and give him great increase; he will be the father of twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.
Gen 17:21 But my agreement will be with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth a year from this time.
Gen 17:22 And having said these words, God went up from Abraham.
Gen 17:23 And Abraham took Ishmael, his son, and all whose birth had taken place in his house, and all his servants whom he had made his for a price, every male of his house, and on that very day he gave them circumcision in the flesh of their private parts as God had said to him.
Gen 17:24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he underwent circumcision.
Gen 17:25 And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he underwent circumcision.
Gen 17:26 Abraham and Ishmael, his son, underwent circumcision on that very day.
Gen 17:27 And all the men of his house, those whose birth had taken place in the house and those whom he had got for money from men of other lands, underwent circumcision with him.
Gen 18:1 Now the Lord came to him by the holy tree of Mamre, when he was seated in the doorway of his tent in the middle of the day;
Gen 18:2 And lifting up his eyes, he saw three men before him; and seeing them, he went quickly to them from the door of the tent, and went down on his face to the earth;
Gen 18:3 And said, My Lord, if now I have grace in your eyes, do not go away from your servant:
Gen 18:4 Let me get water for washing your feet, and take your rest under the tree:
Gen 18:5 And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.
Gen 18:6 Then Abraham went quickly into the tent, and said to Sarah, Get three measures of meal straight away and make cakes.
Gen 18:7 And running to the herd, he took a young ox, soft and fat, and gave it to the servant and he quickly made it ready;
Gen 18:8 And he took butter and milk and the young ox which he had made ready and put it before them, waiting by them under the tree while they took food.
Gen 18:9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, She is in the tent.
Gen 18:10 And he said, I will certainly come back to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife will have a son. And his words came to the ears of S"};
