1
When the Lord had told me these things, I thought of my son Ishmael and I prayed, O God, grant that Ishmael might live uprightly before thee.
2
And the Lord God replied, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son and thou shalt call his name Isaac and I will continue in him the covenant which I have established with thee to be an everlasting covenant with his seed after him.
3
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee.
4
Behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly.
5
Twelve princes shall he beget and I will make him a great nation.
6
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this same time in the next year.
7
Then God left me and I saw him ascend up into heaven and mine heart rejoiced in the promises of the Lord unto me.
