Verse 12
That is, Abraham: the Arabic version has here a strange interpolation;
"this faith Isaac and Rebecca conceived in mind, and so there were born of one, Esau and Jacob.'
And him as good as dead ; being an hundred years of age; See Gill on Romans 4:19 . The Ethiopic version reads, "the bodies of both were like a dead carcass"; both of Abraham and Sarah:
so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable ; as was promised to Abraham, Genesis 15:5 which has been fulfilled, Isaiah 10:22 and will still have a further fulfilment, Hosea 1:10 .
