Genesis 17:16 in Context — Genesis 17
14 Un mâle incirconcis, qui n’aura pas été circoncis dans sa chair, sera exterminé du milieu de son peuple: il aura violé mon alliance.
15 Dieu dit à Abraham: Tu ne donneras plus à Saraï, ta femme, le nom de Saraï; mais son nom sera Sara.
16 Je la bénirai, et je te donnerai d’elle un fils; je la bénirai, et elle deviendra des nations; des rois de peuples sortiront d’elle.
17 Abraham tomba sur sa face; il rit, et dit en son cœur: Naîtrait-il un fils à un homme de cent ans? Et Sara, âgée de quatre-vingt-dix ans, enfanterait-elle?
18 Et Abraham dit à Dieu: Oh! Qu’Ismaël vive devant ta face!
