And they said unto him: Where is Sara thy wife? And
he said: in the tent. And he said: I will come again unto thee as
soon as the fruit can live. And lo: Sara thy wife shall have a
son. That heard Sara, out of the tent door which was behind his
back. Abraham and Sara were both old and well stricken in age, and
it ceased to be with Sara after the manner as it is with wives.
And Sara laughed in her self saying: Now I am waxed old, shall I
give my self to lust, and my lord old also? Then said the LORD
unto Abraha: wherefore doth Sara laugh saying: shall I of a surety
bear a child, now when I am old? is the thing too hard for the
LORD to do? In the time appointed will I return unto thee, as soon
as the fruit can have life. And Sara shall have a son. Then Sara
denied it saying: I laughed not, for she was afraid. But he said:
yes thou laughtest. Then the men stood up from thence and looked
toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
And the LORD said: Can I hide from Abraham that thing which I am
about to do, seeing that Abraham shall be a great and a mighty
people, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
For I know him that he will command his children and his household
after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do after right
and conscience, that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that he hath
promised him.
