A Baby for Sarah

21 The Lord ·cared for [visited] Sarah as he had said and did for her what he had promised. ² Sarah ·became pregnant [conceived] and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. Everything happened at the time God had said it would. ³ Abraham named his son Isaac, the son Sarah gave birth to. ⁴ He circumcised [17:10] Isaac when he was eight days old as God had commanded.

⁵ Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born. ⁶ And Sarah said, “God has made me laugh [^Cthe name Isaac is related to a Hebrew word meaning “laugh”]. Everyone who hears about this will laugh ·with [or at] me. ⁷ No one thought that I would ·be able to have Abraham’s child [^Lsuckle/nurse children], but even though Abraham is old I have given him a son.”
