Sarah Listens

9Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “There, in the tent.”

10And he said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent behind him.

11Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in days; the way of women had ceased to be with Sarah.

12So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out, shall I have pleasure, while my lord is old?”

13And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child, now that I am old?’”

14Is anything too difficult for Yahweh? At the appointed time I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.

15But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. But he said, “No, but you did laugh.”
