And
Abraham fell upon his face and laughed, and said in his heart:
shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred year old, and
shall Sara that is ninety years old, bear: And Abraham said unto
God. O that Ismael might live in thy sight. Then said God: nay,
Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name
Isaac. And I will make my bond with him, that it shall be an
everlasting bond unto his seed after him. And as concerning Ismael
also, I have heard thy request: lo, I will bless him and increase
him, and multiply him exceedingly. Twelve princes shall he {be}
beget, and I will make a great nation of him. But my bond will I
make with Isaac, which Sara shall bear unto thee: even this time
twelve month. And God left off talking with him, and departed up
from Abraham. And Abraham took Ismael his son and all the servants
born in his house and all that was bought with money as many as
were men children among the men of Abraham's house, and
circumcised the foreskin of their flesh, even the selfsame day, as
God had said unto him. Abraham was ninety years old and nine when
he cut off the foreskin of his flesh. And Ismael his son was
thirteen year old, when the foreskin of his flesh was circumcised.
