(Now Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.)
(Now Abram was 86 years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.)
When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am the sovereign God. Walk before me and be blameless.
Then Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground and laughed as he said to himself, “Can a son be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?”
Now Abraham was 99 years old when he was circumcised;
When his brother came out with his hand clutching Esau’s heel, they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
Cursed be the man who made my father very glad when he brought him the news that a baby boy had been born to him!
Without being weak in faith, he considered his own body as dead (because he was about one hundred years old) and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
And so by persevering, Abraham inherited the promise.
