Genesis 17:19-21
International Standard Version
19 But God replied, “No, but your wife Sarah will give birth to your son, and you are to name him Isaac.[a] I’ll confirm my covenant with him as an eternal covenant for his descendants. 20 And as for Ishmael, I’ve heard you. I’ll bless him, and he’ll have many descendants.[b] I will multiply him greatly, he’ll father twelve tribal leaders, and I’ll cause his descendants[c] to become a great nation. 21 Now as to Isaac, I’ll confirm my covenant with him, to whom Sarah will give birth as your son at this time next year.”
