Genesis 17:16 in Context — Genesis 17
14 E o macho incircunciso que não houver circuncidado a carne de seu prepúcio, aquela pessoa será exterminada de seu povo; violou meu pacto.
15 Disse também Deus a Abraão: A Sarai tua mulher não a chamarás Sarai, mas Sara será seu nome.
16 E a abençoarei, e também te darei dela filho; sim, a abençoarei, e virá a ser mãe de nações; dela surgirão reis de povos.
17 Então Abraão postrou-se com o rosto ao chão, riu, e disse em seu coração: A um homem de cem anos nasceráfilho? E Sara, já de noventa anos, há de dar à luz?
18 E disse Abraão a Deus: Que Ismael viva diante de ti!
