13Yahweh said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, `Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?`
14Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son."
15Then Sarah denied, saying, "I didn`t laugh," for she was afraid." He said, "No, but you did laugh."
16The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
17Yahweh said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
18seeing that Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
19For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him."
