Genesis 18:8

and he taketh butter and milk, and the son of the herd which he hath prepared, and setteth before them; and he is standing by them under the tree, and they do eat.

And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, `Why [is] this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really I bear and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.`

Genesis 18:15
