Book of Genesis - Chapter 17 - Verse 19

17:19
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

Meaning

In this verse, God promises Abraham that his wife Sarah will bear a son named Isaac. This declaration is significant because it marks the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make him the father of many nations. Isaac's birth not only signifies the beginning of the line of the chosen people but also the establishment of God's covenant with him and his descendants. The covenant is described as everlasting, emphasizing the enduring nature of God's promise and His faithfulness to His people throughout generations. Through Isaac, God's covenant is passed down, ensuring that His relationship with His people will continue to be upheld in the future. This verse serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty, His commitment to His promises, and the importance of faith and obedience in His plan for humanity.
