Genesis 17:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 17:16

14 And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person ^ashall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, ^aand she shall be a mother ^bof nations; ^ckings of peoples shall be from her.”

17 Then Abraham fell on his face ^aand laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”

18 And Abraham ^asaid to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!”
