Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ As it is written, I have made you a father of many peoples, in the presence of the God in whom you have believed, who quickens the dead, and who invites those who are not yet in being, as though they were present. ¹⁸ For he who was hopeless trusted in hope, that he might become the father of many peoples, as it is written, So shall your seed be. ¹⁹ His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of SarahÆs womb.
