you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.”
Genesis 11:30 “Sarai was unable to become pregnant and had no children.”
Genesis 16:1-2,4a “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not been able to bear children for him. But she had an Egyptian servant named Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, ‘The Lord has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant. Perhaps I can have children through her.’ And Abram agreed with Sarai’s proposal. So Abram had sexual relations with Hagar, and she became pregnant.”
Genesis 17:1-2 “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, ‘I am El-Shaddai - ‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.’”
Genesis 17:5-6“‘What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations. I will make you extremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them!”

Genesis 17:17-19 “Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief. ‘How could I become a father at the age of 100?’ he thought. ‘And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?’ So Abraham said to God, ‘May Ishmael live under your special blessing!’ 19But God replied, ‘No - Sarah, your wife, will give birth to a son for you. You will name him Isaac, and I will confirm My covenant with him and his descendants as an everlasting covenant.’”
Genesis 21:1-3, 5 “The Lord kept His word and did for Sarah exactly what He had promised. She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This happened at just the time God had said it would. And Abraham named their son Isaac. Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born.”
