Can Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”Hebrews 11:11–12By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.Genesis 24:1By now Abraham was old and well along in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.Luke 1:36Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.1 Kings 1:1Now King David was old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.Joshua 13:1Now Joshua was old and well along in years, and the LORD said to him, “You are old and well along in years, but very much of the land remains to be possessed.Romans 4:18–21Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”Hebrews 11:19Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.Genesis 17:24So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,Luke 1:7But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.Luke 1:18“How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”Leviticus 15:19When a woman has a discharge consisting of blood from her body, she will be unclean due to her menstruation for seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.Genesis 31:35Rachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.
