¹² Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

¹³ Yahweh said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?'

²² Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?

²³ Yahweh said to Moses, Has Yahweh's hand grown short? now shall you see whether my word shall happen to you or not.

⁴¹ They turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.
