Genesis 18:10-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. And He said, “I shall certainly return to you according to the time of life, and see, Sarah your wife is to have a son!” And Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.

11. Now Aḇraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age, and Sarah was past the way of women.

12. And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my master being old too?”

13. And יהוה said to Aḇraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I truly have a child, since I am old?’

14. “Is any matter too hard for יהוה? At the appointed time I am going to return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah is to have a son.”

15. But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh!”

16. And the men rose up from there and looked toward Seḏom, and Aḇraham went with them to send them away.
