¹⁵God said to Abraham, “Don’t call your wife by the name Sarai anymore. Instead, her name is Sarah ^[Princess^[. ¹⁶I will bless her, and I will also give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will become ⸤a mother of⸥ nations, and kings will come from her.” ¹⁷Immediately, Abraham bowed with his face touching the ground. He laughed as he thought to himself, “Can a son be born to a hundred-year-old man? Can Sarah, a ninety-year-old woman, have a child?”
