One day the Lord appeared to Abram when he was ninety-nine years old. The Lord told him to walk before Him and to do what is right.

The Lord told Abram that He would make Him a great nation. God changed Abram's name to Abraham and Sarai's name to Sarah and told Abraham to circumcise everyone in his family.

The Lord told Abraham that Sara would have a son in a year. And He told Abraham to call his name Isaac. Then the Lord went back to heaven and Abraham obeyed Him that very same day.

A few days later Abraham saw three people. Abraham knew that one of them was the Lord who had made Himself look like a man and invited them to stay for a while.

The Lord again told Abraham that Sarah would have a son. Sarah heard the Lord and laughed within herself. The Lord asked Abraham why Sarah had laughed since nothing was too hard for the Lord.

Sarah was afraid and said that she had not laughed. But the Lord knew the truth and told her that she really had laughed.
