19 But God said, “No, Sarah, your wife, will bear a son for you. You shall name him Isaac.[a] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
20 “As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Yes, I have blessed him. I will make him fruitful and will multiply him very greatly. He will become the father of twelve chiefs, and I will make him into a great nation. 21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear for you at this set time next year.”
