Genesis 18:7-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. And Aḇraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hurried to prepare it.

8. And he took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them, and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.

9. And they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “See, in the tent.”

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?’
