9. And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10. And he said, I will certainly return to thee at this time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him.
11. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12. And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?
13. And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
14. Is any matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at this time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.
15. And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
16. And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
17. And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
18. Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him.
19. For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath spoken of him.
20. And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grievous,
21. I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know it.
