Genesis 17:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ “No,” God replied, “that isn’t what I said. Sarah shall bear you a son; and you are to name him Isaac (‘Laughter’), and I will sign my covenant with him forever, and with his descendants. ²⁰ As for Ishmael, all right, I will bless him also, just as you have asked me to. I will cause him to multiply and become a great nation. Twelve princes shall be among his posterity. ²¹ But my contract is with Isaac, who will be born to you and Sarah next year at about this time.”
