17:17  Then  Abraham  fell  upon  his  face,  and  laughed,  and  said  in  his heart, 

 Shall  a  child  be  born  unto  him  that  is  an  hundred  years  old?  and  shall Sarah,  that  is  ninety  years  old,  bear?  17:18  And  Abraham  said  unto  God,  O that  Ishmael  might  live  before  thee!  17:19  And  God  said,  Sarah  thy  wife shall  bear  thee  a  son  indeed;  and  thou  shalt  call  his  name  Isaac:  and  I  will establish  my  covenant  with  him  for  an  everlasting  covenant,  and  with  his seed after him. 17:20  And  as  for  Ishmael,  I  have  heard  thee:  Behold,  I  have  blessed  him, and  will  make  him  fruitful,  and  will  multiply  him  exceedingly;  twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 17:21  But  my  covenant  will  I  establish  with  Isaac,  which  Sarah  shall  bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 17:22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. 17:23  And  Abraham  took  Ishmael  his  son,  and  all  that  were  born  in  his house,  and  all  that  were  bought  with  his  money,  every  male  among  the  men of  Abraham’s  house;  and  circumcised  the  flesh  of  their  foreskin  in  the selfsame day, as God had said unto him. 17:24  And  Abraham  was  ninety  years  old  and  nine,  when  he  was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 17:25  And  Ishmael  his  son  was  thirteen  years  old,  when  he  was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 17:26  In  the  selfsame  day  was  Abraham  circumcised,  and  Ishmael  his son. 17:27  And  all  the  men  of  his  house,  born  in  the  house,  and  bought  with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. 18:1  And  the  LORD  appeared  unto  him  in  the  plains  of  Mamre:  and  he sat  in  the  tent  door  in  the  heat  of  the  day;  18:2  And  he  lift  up  his  eyes  and looked,  and,  lo,  three  men  stood  by  him:  and  when  he  saw  them,  he  ran  to meet  them  from  the  tent  door,  and  bowed  himself  toward  the  ground,  18:3 And  said,  My  LORD,  if  now  I  have  found  favour  in  thy  sight,  pass  not away,  I  pray  thee,  from  thy  servant:  18:4  Let  a  little  water,  I  pray  you,  be fetched,  and  wash  your  feet,  and  rest  yourselves  under  the  tree:  18:5  And  I will  fetch  a  morsel  of  bread,  and  comfort  ye  your  hearts;  after  that  ye  shall pass  on:  for  therefore  are  ye  come  to  your  servant.  And  they  said,  So  do,  as thou hast said.
