Today's Favorite Verse: Genesis 17:17-18
"Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!"
I had to look at the footnote on these verses because it didn't sound like the way a man of God would react when the Lord told him such wonderous news. I found that it wasn't, and this sounds more like Abraham to me.
"Then Abraham fell on his face and rejoiced, and said in his heart, There shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old, and Sarah that is ninety years old shall bear.
And Abraham said unto God, Oh that Ishmael might live uprightly before thee!"
(JST, Genesis 17:23-24)
