translationNotes
- Despite all outward circumstances - The full meaning of "outward circumstances" can be made explicit: "Even though it seemed impossible for him to have descendants." (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_explicit)
- in order to become the father of many nations - This can be translated as a new sentence: "And Abraham's faith resulted in him becoming the father of many nations."
- according to what had been spoken - "just as God said to Abraham"
- "…Thus will be your descendants." - The full promise God gave to Abraham can be made explicit: "You will have more descendants than you can count."
- Not being weak in faith - Alternate translation: "While still remaining strong in his faith" (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_litotes)
- Abraham considered his own body already to be dead—he was about a hundred years old—and the deadness of Sarah’s womb - Here Abraham's old age and Sarah's inability to have children is compared to something that is dead. This emphasizes that it seemed impossible for them to have children. Alternate translation: "Abraham realized he was very old and his wife Sarah could not have children." (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
